Methinks 'twas "Talk Talk"..... Plus 'Makin Time' on 'Inside Out' in '91. Furthermore, on the 20th Anniversary of 'Sgt Pepper' they were invited to Paris by the French newspaper Libération to play a special gig of Beatles only songs ('The Inmates Meet The Beatles'). I've seen the band many times over the last sixteen years (inc the Barry Masters line-up) and have found them consistently good. The rhythm section is tight, the two guitarists compliment one another perfectly (no ego trips) and the singer, Bill Hurley, is blessed with a rich and expressive voice equally at home with soul, r'n'b and blues. At one of the last gigs I saw them play they dug out 'Midnight To Six Man' and transformed it into a fantastic Blue Magoos workout. BLOODY MESMERISING STUFF. DJ Paul suggests that the band is inactive at the moment but a pal in France tells me that they recorded a live album at Le Plan (à Ris Orangis près de Paris) last Spring. To date I have not seen it in the shops this side of the channel. Finally, someone was asking about value of the SOHO release of 'Dirty Water', well it's not that easy to find these days but when it does turn up it never fetchs more than a few quid.

An all-Hawkey Comp? Mercy! Tell me more. Lola Lola, Yes indeed, Puck Rock Vol. 1 (I don't think another one has surfaced yet) is a great modern comp. Some of the bands involved have already been listed by Kopper. The Gerry Cheevers-inspired song Evan mentioned by Chicks Dig It is also on this, along with one of my personal faves by UIC called "Wanna Go?" (a tribute to all the great classic fighter/goon players like Orland Kurtinback, Dave Shultsz, John Ferguson, etc.). Mint records used to distribute it here in Canada. And Joey, (or VIEW or V.I.E.W.) and sounded vaguely REM-ish when I saw them on TV. Supposedly they put out an album. I think McDowell may have had another band later. I heard somewhere that the Smithereens were supposed to have backed Black Jack for an album. Never confirmed this though. I'm sure lots of you are getting a bit bored with this thread, but I wonder if any of our Boston area Bompers know if it's true that the Lyres were scheduled to play the national anthem at Fenway during the playoffs in the late 80's. Unfortunately, the Red Sox fell just short that year as I recall. Okay, enough jock talk for now.

It's news to me, but one of the greatest renderings of the National Anthem was sung at Fenway by Smokey Robinson in the '86 series. Also, I'm surprised fellow hardball freak Jeff Hess didn't mention this but longtime former Cardinal hurler Nellie Briles was a lounge singer of some repute in the late '60s and early '70s.

In two weeks, on February 3rd, VH1's "Behind the Music" will tell the story of Ritchie Valens, the 17-year old rocker from Pacoima who was tragically killed in the plane crash that also took the lives of three others, including Buddy Holly (Holly's story is also featured on the show). Behind The Music will air for the first time on the fortieth anniversary of the crash. The show will feature an interview with DEL-FI's owner Bob Keane, who was Ritchie's only producer/manager. VH1's "Behind The Music" airs at 9:00pm and 11:00pm. Visit VH1's online schedule at www.vh1.com/insidevh1/schedule. On February 15th, E!'s "Mysteries & Scandals" series will delve into various theories behind Fuller's questionable "suicide" in July 1966; his death was officially listed as "asphyxia, due to the inhalation of gasoline," (later changed to "accidental"), though rumors of murder-as-revenge still abound. The case remains unsolved thirty three years later. Fuller's mysterious demise has previously been the topic of a panel discussion at last year's SXSW conference, and the subject of TV's "Unsolved Mysteries" in 1996. Hosted by A.J. Benza, the show will also feature interviews with Keane, Randy Fuller (Bobby's brother), Casey Kasem, L.A. music scribe Dan Epstein, and USA Today's Edna Gundersen, among others, and is highlighted by amazing mid-Sixties footage of the Sunset Strip club scene and the BF4's television appearance on Hullabaloo. E!'s "Mysteries & Scandals" series airs Mondays & Thursdays at 7:30pm, Tuesdays & Fridays at 9:30am and 5:30pm, and Sundays at 5:30pm. Check out E! online at www.eonline.com. DEL-FI Records have recently issued 3-CD box sets released on both artists in the past year. Valens' COME ON, LET'S GO! -- released in May '98 -- marks the first time all of Valens' recorded material has been collected in one newly re-mastered-for-digital CD box set, and is highlighted by home demos of "Donna," "I've Got A Gal Named Sue" (aka "That's My Little Suzie") and Ritchie's entire Live At Pacoima Jr. High performance. The Bobby Fuller Four's NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN: The Mustang Years - issued in Feb. '98 - features all of the band's 1964-1966 Mustang Records material, newly discovered tracks, and their only 'authorized' live recordings, Celebrity Night At P.J.'S, (previously unavailable in the U.S.). Also included are mono and stereo versions of the BF4's American rock n' roll classic-"I Fought The Law" (a Top Ten U.S. single in 1966), and "Love's Made A Fool Of You" (#26 in May '66).

Anyway I live in Santa Barbara, CA and I'm looking to start a 60's influenced garage rock band. I'm willing to drive to LA for practice, gigs, etc if needed. I play 4 chord rhythms with a dual channeled-fuzzy and cleanish reverb drenched tone. Also capable of a pathetic sloppy lead. Looking for bandmates that are committed and energetic. Talent is cool too, but those two are more important. I'm totally interested in any organ players out there, besides the necessary bass and drums. In theory I can sing a play but I am a weak rock singer, so if someone wants to take over, great. I'm also more interested in playing honest, energetic garage rock, than prancing around on stage with paisley shirts and beetle boots, if you catch my drift.
