It will be called max's kansas city, lower case, just like the original... while the owners acknowledge in a press release that "max's could never be exactly what it was," they are also bound to honor "the dynamics of today's restaurant scene." In such a spirit, there will be 75 television sets and a menu chock-full of counter-culture delicacies like Lobster and Fois Gras Shepherd's Pie and Herb Crusted Rack of Lamb with Potato Artichoke Lamb Sausage Ragout in Black Olive Sauce.

I'd be interested in a As with Blair, I missed the first show last Saturday, and will be club-hopping in New Brunswick this Saturday and attending "Cave Step" the next. So it's down to the 24th and/or 31st for me as well. However, I can report that the 'tones rang in the new year with vim, vigor, and super-rock (of course). They had the honor of being onstage when the clock struck 12, around halfway through their set, and they made the most of it. Not wanting to miss it, they entertained the crowd during the last 5 or so minutes of 1997 by ripping through a few short pieces (about 90 seconds of "Shadow Line," for one). They played for another 30 minutes or so after that, rocking out in accordance with the significance of the date. The Fleshtones were preceded by Shake Appeal, a fun NYC glam-pop trio. The Swingin' Neckbreakers wrapped up the night with a marathon 35+ song set that featured guest vocals from Peter Zaremba on one song and the inscrutable "T. Lance" on some others.

I don't think that Bono was that much of a significant figure. If Chuck Berry or Jerry Lee died, there would be tears oozing from everyone's PC.

As a suggestion for those who wish to escape the endless chatter about Mr. Bono, may I recommend the latest edition of the website formerly known as Los Dug Dug's Homepage, which now proudly boasts the first ever BIOGRAPHY of these Mexican rock & roll sensations of the sixties and seventies put together from my recent interview with Armando Nava, as well as a sound file from the band's masterpiece, SMOG, that'll have you wishing you could find an original vinyl copy of that album as much as I do!

One word: MONEY. The guy made easy money with these things, and apparently that was the most important factor in putting them out, not preserving and sharing rare music. After I heard about the first one being done on cassette, I expressed my view that it wouldn't be that hard to do it on better gear, like 15 ips reel to reel or DAT, but then I heard about the second one after the fact and I asked how it was mastered and he blithely said "I put it all on cassette." He knows some of the band members involved too--I just don't understand it. I mean, it would have been EASY to do it right. Not taking any interest in the quality of the presentation when it would be very little extra work is a disgrace in my mind.

From Tuesday's Los Angeles Times: Nik Venet; Record Producer for the Beach Boys By STEVE HOCHMAN Special to The Times Nik Venet, credited with discovering the Beach Boys for Capitol Records, has died of complications from treatment for Burkitt's lymphoma. He was 61. Venet died Friday at County-USC Medical Center, said Susan Crawford, his partner in the independent Evening Star Records company. Born Nikolas Kostantinos Venetoulis on Dec. 3, 1936, in Baltimore, Venet began his career at 17 as a writer in New York's famed Brill Building pop song factory, where he rented a small office with Bobby Darin. He moved to Los Angeles at 19 and went to World Pacific Records, where he worked with monologuist Lord Buckley, then became a staff producer and talent scout with Capitol. In 1962 he came in contact with the Beach Boys through Murry Wilson, who was managing the band that consisted of his sons Brian, Carl and Dennis, along with their cousin Mike Love and neighbor Al Jardine. The surf culture the group celebrated in their independent single "Surfin' " was just a minor Southern California phenomenon, but Venet took the Beach Boys into the studio and oversaw the group's first albums, an experience Brian Wilson has credited with helping him learn the craft of production. Among the acts Venet subsequently signed at Capitol were Lou Rawls, Glen Campbell, Jim Croce, the Stone Poneys (a folk trio featuring a young Linda Ronstadt, which had a 1967 hit with "Different Drum," written by Mike Nesmith), Fred Neil (who wrote the song "Everybody's Talkin'" for the film "Midnight Cowboy"), and John Stewart (whose "Daydream Believer" was a big hit for the Monkees). In the early 1970s he helped found United Artists Records [sic!], working with performers ranging from Don McLean--Venet was executive producer of his "American Pie"--to Frank Zappa. His Evening Star Records roster includes singer-songwriters Sarah Kim Wilde and Harriet Schock, and Venet's final project was production of an upcoming original cast album for the off-Broadway musical "The Last Session" composed by Steve Schalchlin. Venet was active in civil rights causes, marching with the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and in recent years working on the campaign to preserve Point Concepcion, held by Native Americans to be sacred ground. He is survived by his longtime companion Harriet Schock; his son, Nik Venet, Jr., of Los Angeles; brothers Ted and Steve Venetoulis; a sister, Elenie Venetoulis; and his mother, Flora Venetoulis. A memorial is planned for 7 p.m. Friday at the Santa Monica headquarters of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, 3402 Pico Blvd. (Forwarder's note: Lots of extremely interesting stuff on Venet, Sonny Bono, Phil Spector, etc., is to be found in Barney Hoskyns's book "Waiting for the Sun: The Story of the Los Angeles Music Scene" (Viking, 1996), now available as a Penguin paperback).

Intro - Festival Appearances 2. New Album - More Than Skin Deep 3. Covers Album - Hitsburg USA 4. Live Album - Cancellation 5. Compilation Appearances 6. Full Time Men - New Record Planned 7. Early Demos - Norton Records 8. Outro - Residency at Nightingales The Fleshtones capitalised on their success at GUTTERFEST with appearances at SLEAZEFEST and FUZZFEST in the late summer. Although they were not featured on the bill at CAVE STOMP in NYC during October, a Fleshtones presence was ensured by Peter who acted as MC for both nights. Outside the USA the 'Tones made their third visit to Italy in less than twelve months in early December. The third trip was a great success, if short, despite the Z-man's Farfisa organ being stolen from the back of the truck in Rome. MORE THAN SKIN DEEP, the new album, will be released in mid- January. In the USA the CD will appear on ICHIBAN while TELSTAR RECORDS, a vinyl-only label based in New Jersey, will issue the LP. EPITAPH will distribute both formats in Europe. Artwork will vary slightly from format to format and territory to territory. Please note that the TELSTAR release will contain a different track order plus 'Bazooka Joe' and 'Hand For The Band'. The EPITAPH release also includes 'Hand For The Band', but not 'Bazooka Joe'. ALL versions of the album are scheduled to be in the shops by January 20th. Phew, here is the ICHIBAN CD track order : I'm Not A Sissy Anymore; Laugh It Off; My Love Machine; I Wanna Feel Something Now; Gentleman's Twist; Smash Crash; Dig In; Blow Job; God Damn It; Dance With The Ghoulman; Anywhere You Go; Medley: My Kinda Lovin'/The Crossroads Are Coming; Better Days. A Super Rock friend in Illinois has heard the CD and comments : "It's their most durable album in years, certainly, in my opinion, the best since Ken joined. Highlights : 'Sissy' (the greatest song the Dictators never wrote), 'Love Machine' (Stooges!), 'I Wanna Feel Something Now,' 'Gentleman's Twist' (could be a single), 'Dig In,' 'Blow Job' (a slinky, 50s-ish, dare-I-say 'lounge-ish' instrumental with the great Wheel Man!, this song is a real departure for the boys) and 'Dance with the Ghoulman.' I could go on and on; I really like it and think it's quite memorable." Some of you will know that the FLESHTONES FAVORITES CD was picked up by TELSTAR RECORDS and released on vinyl during the summer. In fact the album was renamed HITSBURG USA and the artwork totally revamped. News has recently arrived that IMPOSIBLE RECORDS in Spain have now issued the album in Europe with TWO bonus cuts: 'Speedy Gonzales' and 'Down On Me'. The above flurry of activity led the 'Tones to cancel the proposed 'Live' album which was to be issued by MUSIDISC in France. Provisionally called ACTION FIGURES, it was intended as a momentum record and was overtaken by events once the HITSBURG USA and MORE THAN SKIN DEEP projects took off. As a precursor to the new album, the Fleshtones can be heard contributing 'You Can Get Her Frankenstein' on FLAMING BURNOUT, the Estrus fire benefit record, on MAN'S RUIN. Other compilation appearances include 'The Return of Bazooka Joe' on Blood Red Records and the instrumental 'Time Zone' on MONDO BEAT on Face/Sony records in Italy. Both are slated for release in the first half of 1998. Last October the FULL TIME MEN finally returned to the stage. The line-up comprised Keith, Bill, Ken and Andy York on guitar. Reaction to the two Manhattan dates was warm and there are even plans to make a new FTM record. At this stage it's uncertain whether they will take the covers route or update material which didn't make it onto the last two Fleshtones albums. Personally, it would be great to see 'Stolen', a song about Keith's old Fender Mustang, or 'Way Down Here' finally released. Keith Streng has also put a new band together with Andy Shernoff, Bill Milhizer, and Paul Johnson (the man behind the board for both HITSBURG and MORE THAN SKIN DEEP out at Compactor studios) called THE MASTER PLAN. TMP will be doing a February or March residency at Nightingales. Several people have mentioned that NORTON RECORDS are set to issue an album of Fleshtones demos from 1977. True, Billy and Miriam have discovered some early recordings in the KICKS vault and the Fleshtones have agreed to their eventual release. However at present there is insufficient material for a full-length disc and more tracks are required. If you have any "historic" recordings from those early days which you feel are worthy of a wider audience then e-mail NORTON [nortonrec@aol.com] or write to the 'Tones at : P.O. Box 101, Peter Stuyvesent Station, New York, N.Y. 10009, USA. Finally, throughout January the Fleshtones are playing Saturday night residency at NIGHTINGALES in Manhattan. Plans are also currently being made to tour behind MORE THAN SKIN DEEP from February onwards. Finally, and in response to several e-mail messages, the 'Tones would like to reassure their friends in California that they have NOT forgotten the West Coast and fully intend to return. OK, that's enough information to digest this time round so I'll leave you to hunt down the new album. \\|// (-0-0-) - ------oO-(--)-Oo--------------------------------------------- Steve Coleman scaf@pro-net.co.uk The Fleshtones Hall of Fame http://www.pro-net.co.uk/scaf/fhof.html - ------------------------------------------------------------------- ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.
