Hmmm... I'm very skeptical about this one. Seems to me to be a desperate attempt by a major label to try to make some more moolah off of an old classic by re-releasing it. Does it sound anything like the production on any of Iggy's newer stuff? I never had a problem with the way Raw Power sounded. In fact, I LIKE the way it sounds, and never once thought it sounded "muddy." Even the name Raw Power to me means just that... RAW POWER! NOT studio-manipulated remixed and squeaky clean power! So if it IS "a totally new record" then I probably won't like it. Just like the rest of Iggy Pop's new records. Remember the MC5? Same thing happened with them on their Back in the USA LP, but the reverse is happening with it thanks to the folks at Bomp/Alive (Total Energy) for re-issuing the old pre-production rehearsal tapes that show the band in their true RAW form ("muddy" to you A&R types). kopper - -- ===================================================================== | Kopper & Jaimz | Enormous Horsepower Productions | | The Wayback Machine | Garage, Punk, Surf, etc. | | KDHX FM 88.1/St. Louis | Bands wanted for shows in the | | Monday nights 12-2am CST | St. Louis area. | | http://www.kdhxfm88.org/ | Email for more info! | ===================================================================== ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

My band, 13 Frightened Girls, will be opening Yeah, Peoria's just too far to go for a weeknight show. If it was on a weekend it'd be a different story. Let me know of any shows that may happen down in Springfield... that's not so bad. Maybe I can get you guys a show down here in St. Louis sometime soon.

Maybe you should have asked us at which show you would have had a better chance of scoring with the women. Personally, when I go to a show, I like to _hear_ the band, first and foremost- maybe I'm crazy. I don't mean to sound like an asshole, but this just reinforces this theory I have about shows: I think maybe a third of the people at any show are there to look cool, hang out, drink, schmooze, get laid, etc.; another third are there to act like fuckin' idiots- the "moshers" for instance- these people, generally, aren't even listening or watching the band because they're too caught up in their hyperactive freakout. What these people really need is some ritalin; finally, the other third come to actually hear/see the bands. My point here is this- Why did you even ask in the first place? For what it's worth, Guitar Wolf is playing in Normal, IL Tuesday, April 8 at the Gallery. Opening will be Teenage Timebomb, Nashville Pussy, and the Pleasure Fuckers- $6/8PM/18 & over. David, you oughtta consider heading west for this one- there's some really good looking girls in Normal. T.J. > >Ah well, I'll make it one of these days... > >|| David J.

Can anyone here give me any info about the Fun Things? The Vikings, Devil Dogs, and Teengenerate all covered songs by them, but I've never heard anything about them. I think they're from Australia (I seem to remember reading that somewhere)... Does anyone know who they are and where I can get ahold of their recordings? For the record: I think Raw Power sounds like shit. All you can really hear is the vocals and the lead guitar. Everything else is buried. Muddy is fine, but not being able to hear the rhythm guitars and bass on an album called RAW POWER is a fucking crime. I don't give a fuck about pristine sound quality, but compare RAW POWER with the first Stooges record and tell me which is the superior sound quality. Or better yet, compare it to the rough mixes Bomp released. Now THOSE recordings are MUDDY but they still manage to destroy the official cuts... Sorry to just jump in like this... My name's Matt (if for some reason my real name doesn't show up on top) and I just subscribed to this list... If there are any rules as to what should or should not be done on this thing, someone please let me know... ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

I'm not sure on the rarity of their records, but I'd suggest picking up the Murder Punk CDs, 2 volumes of them, they are really excellent if you like early punk rock along the lines of Back To Front or Killed By Death comps. ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

Opening will be Teenage Timebomb, Nashville Pussy, and >the >Pleasure Fuckers- $6/8PM/18 & over. Saw Guitar Wolf in Green Bay a few nights ago. Gotta say, they were great. Go see them if you get a change. Also, I'm thinking I am going to be following this Headcoats/Makers tour for about a week or so, I figure it'll be a decent vacation type of thing. BUT.. me being only 20 and not being able to for sure get into my hometown show(Minneapolis) even, I was thinking about perhaps driving to Green Bay a day early to see the Pleasure Fuckers and Nashville Pussy. I figure since I won't be able to for sure get in to see the Makers, I might as well see a couple of different bands given this chance. What I'm wondering though, do the Pleasure Fuckers and Nashville Pussy put on a decent show? I haven't heard any record from either band, so I have no idea what either are like. ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.
