Just so no-one gets their hopes up, Rob was asked to sing for Deep Reduction on a forthcoming (April) European tour, but I don't think it's happening. I understand he has no desire to play in the States, anyway. Touring Europe is more his bag.

After popular demand the DAILTONES will be returning for three special shows, in Stockholm, Nykoping, Orebro, Thursday 17th Feb STHLM Alcarlar Friday 18th Feb NYKÖPING, nykult Saturday 19th ÖREBRO, svensson & co If you want them to play at your festival/Club this year, please don't wait to the last minute get in touch now! thanks (beluga@wineasy.se) More stuff from the dialtones coming on: The Dialtones – So Many Girls 7" (Fro 020) Out 15/2 One split 7" on Beluga and already The Dialtones got snatched up by Screaming Apple who recently released their debut album. And you will understand why. Kick ass rock 'n' roll with more hooks than the entire set up of the Hellraiser trilogy. Some compare this Swedish band to Devil Dogs, we just call it cool punk rock!! Dailtones The - The Dailtones (LP) (Screaming apple) There's a brandnew rock'n'roll sensation coming from Sweden called the DIALTONES and this time it's not just another bunch of cock-sucking hard-rock clones. What we're talking about here is REAL r'n'r in the tradition of such fabulous bands like the DEVIL DOGS in DMZ. In fact these 3 young guys could become the new DEVIL DOGS, playing exactly those totally energetic, wild rockin', super catchy 120 seconds anthems the New York based was wellknown for. 12 action-packed examples of a truely extatic, hot & sweaty r'n'r blast are delivered here and if you believe in the power of youth and speed and know that it can become a delicious, but very dangerous cocktail, this one's for you, daddy-oh! The DIALTONES - see her tonite 7'' Yep, another Rock n Roll killer machine outta the deep woods of Swedenland. Omph...the return of the DEVIL DOGS??? Uh...yeah...you can get the impression while listening to the fast, wild and pretty energetic songs of the DIALTONES. You might know the guys from their debut release, the split-7'' with AEROBITCH, where they convinced with 2 hot and sweaty blasts. And that was just the beginning of a young bands rock'n'roll career, that’s for sure.Here they go with 2 songs and a playing time of less than 3 minutes. The title track see her tonite is different to the version on their just released very first album on Screaming Apple Records. Gimme one minute is exclusive. This one-sided piece of black vinyl is ltd. to 500 and comes with a 2-coloured sticker. Aerobitch / Dialtones - Split (Beluga) Awesome release by two awesome bands. Aerobitch, just think of powerfull punk'n'roll with screaming girl vocals over heavy guitar action. Dialtones, two short and sweet tracks, kissoff! 27sec and 45rpm 1,26 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2000 12:32:09 CET From: "Sylvain" Subject: SWEDEN on my mind (was Re: Dialtones) talkin bout the Dialtones, I'm longing for new stuff comin out from Sweden... it seems that the rhythm has bloody slowed down, last stuff I got was 2 good 7'' by the Barbwires (on Kook and Zorch Rds)... what's goin with the long awaited Dee Rangers LP ?

Caesar's Palaces new album is called "Cherry Kicks" it'll be out in march I think. I've heard two songs from it and they're just mindblowing. Slightly less punk more versatile more pop more psych- just better than Youth is wasted on the young. And that was pretty great already. "I'm Gonna Kick you out " was THE new garage song for me. I better call Dolores-Isse in Gothenburg to check this soundtrack rumour out. Tobba is putting a new Barbwires 7" out soon but he can tell you more about it. Caesar's Palace is the one record I'm really looking forward to. About finnish scene: the most exciting piece of news is the fact that we're recording a minialbum (9 tunes) for GEARHEAD, due in may. I just saw the cover design and it's amazing (by Chris Imlay of HI-Fives).

The Union 69 album "Holiday 2000" is out right now on Bad Afro. The Rockets have a new 7" out on Bad Afro as well. The SOULS have not disbanned but they are having trouble with the label so it might get a while before there will be new material out. The Turpentines are about to release their second album on White Jazz in a matter of weeks... The Roadrunners have split up, but The Strollers seem to be very much together (there was a rumor of them splitting up as well). Royal Beat Conspiracy is very active recording new material but they are still looking for a label - they have 4-5 albums worth of unreleased material in the can! The Hellacopters will be going to studio in April to record their next album and a split-10" with the Flaming Sideburns... which reminds me of Finland. The Sideburns will record their first real album in May/June and there's couple of new singles coming out on Safety Pin & Bang! very soon. Thee Ultra Bimboos are just finishing their next album "Four Fans Can't Be Wrong", due to come out in March/April. There's also bunch of interesting new releases by bands like The Festermen, Ulamatic and Deepspace Sexchange. Thee Mighty Hypnomen have their album finally out in USA. And if you guys ever wanna make it up here, do it next summer! We are organizing Gearfest parteeees in Helsinki (22/6) and Stockholm (24/6) with kool Scandinavian bands like The Nomads, The Hellacopters, The Robots, Thee Bimboos, The Sideburns, Hypnomen and much much more. - - Jarkko > ---------- > Lähettäjä: Sylvain[SMTP:fuzzymental@hotmail.com] > Vastaa: bomp@xnet2.com > Lähetetty: 2. helmikuuta 2000 14:32 > Vastaanottaja: bomp@xnet2.com > Aihe: SWEDEN on my mind (was Re: Dialtones) > > > > talkin bout the Dialtones, I'm longing for new stuff comin out from > Sweden... it seems that the rhythm has bloody slowed down, last stuff I > got > was 2 good 7'' by the Barbwires (on Kook and Zorch Rds)... what's goin > with > the long awaited Dee Rangers LP ?

No. There was a huge article about the case in the Seattle Times one Sunday about a year ago (?), probably on or about the anniversary of the murder, and as I recall it seemed pretty hopeless. Joey ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 10:25:16 -0800 (PST) From: willie little Subject: Re: Valley Girl Soundtrack and the Flaming Groovies Greetings, "A Million Miles Away" is a great song by the Plimsouls; however, I just purchased "Groove Groovieist Hits" by the Flaming Groovies. They have a good renedeition of "A Million Miles Away" as well as the Hoodoo Gurus' "Bittersweet." Question? I was wondering if Bomp Records still has their compilation from their first 20 years in print? The title escapes me. I use to have it, but I lost it when I moved several months ago. It was my first exposure to the pre-Lyres, DMZ. I forgot the early band's name that Greg Shaw belong to, but this early Beatles style imitation was one of the best I heard. I believe it was the second song on the compilation after the excellent "You Tore Me Down" by the Flaming Groovies. Getting back to the soundtrack of "Valley Girl." I actually think that "I Melt With You" represents what's best about the more mainstream New Wave sounds. It's every bit as wonderful as the more obscure "Eye of the Lens" by the Comsat Angels. If anybody's really into college radio alternative of the early 80s, I seriously recommend Rhino's "Post Punk Chronicles." All three volumes are good.

"Youth Is waisted On The youth" was a more than good Lp (the vocals are just purely perfect ), but I was more than ever astonished by the 7'' tthey issued a few months ago on Dolores, called something like "Shake It"... It seems that they came back to their punkish roots (stuff like there was on "Rock De Puta Mierda"), the 3 titles on that EP are just pure demented goldish garage-PUNK. I can't wait to hear how they sound now..."less punk, more pop, more psy" ???? something inbetween "Youth...." and "Shake It" ??? Wouldn't be a surprise for dudes like that, for which Love and the Seeds are the main references !(although they sound rather different !) Anyway, we'll see... bythe way, on which label is it supposed to come out ? Dolores ? Uppers ??. Caesar's Palace, a band we could easely call "the futur of garage punk", they're so far away from the typical 1-2-5 or Louie Louie cover, these guys are just more than 5 years ahead of their times ! I just wish we could talk more of that kinda bands on the bomp list, cause they're simply one ofthe best of their times, they've got the balls to kick the garage dinosaur right in the ass and give him a chance to pass the next evolutionary test. Give em a listen and you'll throw all your fuckin Detour Rds right in the bin. sylvain / switzerland sylvain / Switzerland ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2000 20:38:48 CET From: "Sylvain" Subject: Dolores Rds ( was Re: SWEDEN on my mind) > >Any sould fan should also chect out a dolores 45 by REVELATION from >Stockholm. >Sounds like the Supremes 1964. Pretty good. You said it Pekka !!! Pretty good is an euphemism, don't know anything from these guys- where's the fuck are they comin from ??? - apart that they got the sound !!! excellent, really... Talking about Dolores, you've forgotten to indicate that every bi-ears species on earth should be subscribed to the Dolores Rds fan club, cause I've till now never heard a shitty side coming out of their factory. From what I know, the label is run by Samie, from the Backdoor Men & Livingstones... the guy has still a rather good taste in music, you can believe me !!! For infos bout the club, go to the Hot Stuff mailorder page (http://www.hotstuff.se) or ask Trevor at Beluga if he carries the 7''. sylvain / switzerland ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 02 Feb 2000 20:42:48 CET From: "Sylvain" Subject: Ulamatic / Deepspace (was Re: VS: SWEDEN on my mind) >interesting new releases by bands like Ulamatic and Deepspace >Sexchange. 2 new comers on the scene ???? any infos bout them would be more than welcome ! sylvain / switzerland ______________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2000 11:45:53 -0800 From: "nipper@thestranger.com" Subject: The Make hers...all done (long!) First things first...its called Rock Star God, and it's a double LP, so says the advance sleeve, and remember its on Sub Pop...right, so at this time you may go ahead and presume what you may as things have definitely CHANGED! I've no word, at the moment, on any Joan Jett connection...but Suzi Quatro would been cooler! Okay, I've heard it through twice now...and GLAM is the perrrrr-fect description, but it's not "Glam Punk"...in fact, there's NO real "punk" action to be found, its all about R-O-C-K! Uh, and you die hard fans, well, you'll just DIE as the Makers have completely left the safety of their garage, there are no f-f-fuzzed out barnstormers. And this time its a "concept" record, as the last seemed to feel, but the sleeve actually states THIS is a "concept" work, however, the narrative wasn't incredibly distinct, which is fine as repeated listens may benefit from such discoveries. Personally, I like the record, its STILL the Makers! And the only "issues" I have is Rock Star is NOT quite as buoyant as Psycho Sexulalis was, Rock Star has a longer running time and, I feel, if it had been edited to a single LP they may've kept the record from kinda dragging (Dave Crider [Estrus' king bee] sequenced Psycho, so they say)...but the decision to support the narrative may have insisted the time run longer. Otherwise, the production isn't quite as dramatic...this is a very commercial "product"...oh, did I mention this time there are even some almost indie/gothic touches! HUH?!?!?...I know, and there are back up singers, some Hammond and horns...its GLAM like T REX, NOT Bowie/Iggy! Honestly, tho' no matter what he plays, Jamie is a fookin' brilliant axeman...and now that he THANKFULLY cut his hair (its now kinda in a back combed mullet) folks won't congratulated me on HIS good shows anymore!!! Uh, we could be brothers...its true! Every time they played out the punters would come up to ME shake my damn hand with a "Dude, you guys ROCKED!"...WHAT, like, even as I'm wearing different clothes (usually a GIANT parka) and sportin' very DRY hair (he always gets so sweaty when they play)! Shit, I've even had complete conversations with strangers he'd meet elsewhere...its almost got me into fights on the East Coast too! Oh well...enough of my ramblin'... Lastly, I was shocked to somehow acknowledge this LP as a reflection of what's been happening, for the hipster kids, in Seattle recently...as there (in '98/'99) has been a huge undercurrent of GLAM metal, '80s pop type, fed by those "in the know" types. Remember most of the kids who now dig the '80s glam didn't grow up gettin their titties twisted or their noses busted, by be-mulleted A-holes! For them its all new, while '70s glam is kinda reserved for the older "punks"...who dress like Teddy Boys!? Right, anyways, its weird as the Makers certainly came out of the '80's fightin' that mentality, so why the concessions? Whatever, I guess its not the same...but...maybe all things are fogiven in Art. >will it be better than the recent Lord High Fixers in terms of it rising above the LHF's latest, I reckon thats a matter of taste...tho' there's no conssession to hip hop! xoxoxo nipper ------------------------------ End of bomp-digest V2000 #54 **************************** ===================================================================== You've been reading bomp-digest, the digest version of the Bomp list.
