Jarkko, we need some fresh blood at this gig, I really love The Nomads, The Hellacopters, The Robots, Thee Bimboos, The Sideburns, Hypnomen etc, all of them are great bands but every good band thats visits sweden has the The Nomads or The Hellacopters....... supporting them, everyone who is into this scene in sweden has seen these bands about a million times.

I caught them on Tuesday with the Bronco guys, PJ and Phil Suggitt and was really impressed. Great cock rock Cheap Trick sound with dashes of Roy Wood, nice harmonies and energy galore. Hans the singer was also a really nice chap and for us English guys that Nashville accent was the winning point -- I'm sure us clippy toned Brits sounded just as strange to him. Cotton Mather headlined and all I can say is WOWO WOW! Absolutely magnificent! They kinda put psych and power pop through the blender and created a something distinctly new that however also reminded you of all the good things from the last 30 years. Modern day American bands are leading the way!

There are all three of the Exeter records tapes on this (original version of I Fought The Law")(robbin people with a zip gun) that Jerry says he was on except for that last one....This is a great CD(Grammy nomination) and I'm hearing most of Bobby Fuller for the first time.....No wonder he's still got such a fan base!!!....You can actually hear one of these songs where Jerry plays guitar online right now....The song is Wine Wine Wine..Here's the URL. ..http://www.inkblotmagazine.com/rev-archive/Fuller_Four_Shakedown.htm Both the Moby Grape and the Bobby Fuller lists are getting this...I'd really like to open up some communication on this period of Jerry's and perhaps he can remeber some of the names of the places he played at in Texas...It looks like alot of these live tapes are being cross-referenced by other people who where there, since alot of the tapes weren't labeled properly....The CD's are coming!!!!! Great stuff!!!... ....Fuzz guitar in '62?.......Yikes...Read below for the little bit of the Jerrry interview where he mentions Bobby.........Jeff Goldmine: A little known fact is that you played and recorded with Bobby Fuller in Texas. How did that come about? Jerry Miller: In 1962, after I left high school, a guy named Larry Thompson from Tacoma who was playing drums with Bobby Fuller, heard me. playing at the Crescent Ballroom. Within two days I jumped on the Greyhound for El Paso where I moved in with Bobby and his parents. At that time it wasn't known as the Bobby Fuller Four, just Bobby Fuller, with his brother, Randall, and Larry and myself. I recorded four tracks with them including the original "I Fought The Law" (released as a single on Exeter), "Wine, Wine, Wine" and "King Of The Beach," though my guitar didn't make it onto that final track. We toured around Texas mainly, wearing those cool matching suits, with long hair even before the Beatles! About the time Bob Keene took over as manager, I thought things were looking a bit shaky, so I returned to Washington state in the summer of '63. - --------------------------- ONElist Sponsor ---------------------------- Books, music, auctions and more!

It's a very interesting account of Jerry's early dabbling in the Pacific Northwest music scene. Enjoy. I have no idea if this 45 is still available. Arne?? - ---- Paul Paul,here's the info you wanted.This from the back of the re-issued 45 of The Incredible Kings "The Limp" (Jerry Miller) and The Elegants "Ooh Poo Pah Doo" (Hill) Both bands are basically the same line up,including Jerry on guitar with Rick Burton on bass (now with DaiBando)and Dean Tsrapralis on drums (until recently a member of Dai Bando also) "With this sonically charged Northwest double-whammy,Norton is proud to present the very first recordings of Jerry Miller,guitarist and founding member of Moby Grape wailin' with two Tacoma,Washington groups,The Incredible Kings and The Elegants.Roger Freiheit was buddies with Jerry since they were kids first taking an interest in guitars."The guitar stores in Tacoma were our hangouts.It wasn't long before Jerry got to be really good.One day Jerry tells me,'Hey,man,I'm gonna turn you on!' We walked all the way across town to the Clover Record Bar in this totally black neighborhood and Jerry got me to buy Freddy King's STRICTLY INSTRUMENTAL album.I was so appreciative!Jerry was always first onto the coolest things" Roger first began fronting a formative version of the Elegants as early as 1959,inspired by the sucess of hometown heroes the Fabulous Wailers.Meanwhile Jerry had worked hard in a number of groups- tthe Epics,the Gear Grinders,the Twelfth Street Tarantulas and the Searchers (with future Sonics Gerry Roslie,Bob Bennett and JM's next door neighbor Rob Lind),even taking a brief trip in to El Paso,Texas to play with Bobby Fuller and the Fanatics! On Jerry's return to the Northwest,he took a residency at a Tacoma nitery called the Seaport playing R&B with an all black combo called the Incredible Kings. Jerry recalls "I was working at this high class men's shop,so I always got these sharp threads off the rack to wear to gigs.There were four of us in the Incredible Kings,but sometimes we'd turn it into a soul revue with like fifteen singers takin' turns.You don't get much splittin' up money at the end of the night on a gig like that!" In September 1964,the Incredible Kings checked into Kearney Bartos's Audio Recording Studios in Seattle (witin days of the HERE ARE THE SONICS album sesh!) and laid down Jerry's searing instro 'The Limp',so named after a minor sprain that caused the guitarist some walkin' woes."I can picture it like it was yesterday,"says Jerry."You've never been in a legitimate studio befors and you get nervous.Next thing,you're playin' a thousand fucking miles per hour and these guys are goin''GO JERRY GO!'" The demo session went unissued at the time,but Roger Freiheit was so taken by the Kings' racket that he invited Jerry and the guys to join in on the Elegants session a few weeks later,again at Kearney Barton's studio.Roger recalls the two groups getting together:"We were practicing at Sherman and Clay's Music Shop in downtown Tacoma.Jerry left his amp at the Seaport and asked me to pick it up.So here I am this innocent white kid-I walj in grab Jerry's amp off the bandstand and start to carry it outta the club.All these black guys jumped on me! They had me nailed! I talked them into callin' Jerry before they killed me and Jerry told 'em ' Oh yeah,that's Rog,he's cool!'" The Elegants/Incredible Kings jumbo combo wailed through a fiery reworking of 'Ooh Poo Pah Doo' (with frantic vocal by Willie Washington who Roger remembers as "a real popular guy, a total showman") plus Hank Ballard's 'Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go'.The pairing was issued in a miniscule pressing under the Elegants name on the bands' own International Artists label.The platter sold out immediately at Elegants gigs,though an additional several hundred copies miraculously appeared in their mitts via a pressing plant error.Roger recalls,"Kearney says to us,'Hey,check this out!'He puts on this record by these Canadian folkies,the Malamutes called 'Spell of the Yukon'and out comes 'Ooh Poo Pah Doo'!The plant had used the Elegants stampers by mistake,so we ordered more labels and glued 'em on ourselves!" Jerry wanted to take the entire Elegants/Kings group on the road,but Roger had already set designs on college (though he would continue to play locally with Bobby and the Innkeepers).By 1965,Jerry'd left the Incredible Kings for local hotshots the Frantics (who'd scored years earlier with 'Werewolf',ironically featuring Kearney Barton on wolf howls) before moving on to worldwide pizzazz with Moby Grape.But here's where it all started.Come on everybody,do The Limp one time!

They're started off as a pretty primitive lo-fi garage style operation. First 45s on Dolores are in that category. I think their first album "Youth is Wasted on the Young" is their first REALLY good release. Sylvain seems to be also into those singles. I'd describe their sound as modern garage. It's well produced, catchy with a few points of reference also to 1970's-90's punk/indie. It's hard to pin it down with simple genre description. garage-punk-pop-psychedelia-kraut-jamaica-no-fi-fucked up-underground-music: these are the things the main song writer whom I'm pretty good friends with is into. And these are also reflected in their music. and even more so on their new upcoming album. I think they are called 12 Caesars outside Sweden (in US atleast). I'd say DO check them out.

Yhere are little-type roaches we used to read about in the restaurant inspections/reviews. One of the best aspects of SF, is it's bugless nature, fleas excepted ,because of high pet ownership I soooooooooooMISS the everyday coldness of SF, avg temp in every season 55-65. Ugly are the days (a couple a yr) when it hits 78+ and the pastiness of the city as it's clad in shorts is displayed....not a pretty site. Those bugs(didn't know they were ROACHES!!!) freaked me out totally when we got to Austin, where it'HOT 5 months of the year and these freaky-flying things can weird one out, bigtime. > They sure do down south on the east coast! can't hang w/that.

It was and Joey almost got beaned in the head several times with a low hanging spotlight cause the ceiling was so low. But the show was amazing. The band alway shined in the smaller, sleazier clubs... The Jam's final pull the plug on the band at the Palladium in NYC (think it was 82-83). A two way tie for last since the venue was about to become a big dance club. My first and last time seeing the Jam and it was what I expected and more. Sleazefest 96. If there was a rock n roll heaven, this was it between Southern Culture on the Skids, Swingin' Neckbreakers, the Hatebombs, the Woggles...too many Pabst blue ribbons and a pretty good taste of southern hositality What do I hate to leave out is any number of Fleshtones gigs, especially at maxwells in Hoboken, ditto for the Untamed Youth at the same venue ( one great weekend stand, the Youth did their regular ste at Maxwell's on a Friday and played Continental on Saturday. Seeing pretty much the same faces in the crowd, the youth subbed the greatest cover set ever... tooo many shows, too much beer, but I can still hear...Moparlary ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2000 10:43:37 EST From: "pixie ruin" Subject: Re: recommendation > >Shelby Lynne is great.

Canadian cinema punches Hollywood in the mouth. "Highway 61" also had Jello Biafra in it but most importantly a great rock n'roll scene featuring Art Bergmann (K-Tels/Young Canadians). The greatest punk-rock movie of all times is also by Bruce McDonald, and that's "Hardcore Logo". I cannot urge anybody who's ever been on the road with a band enough to go see this movie. This is the story of every legendary Canadian punk-rock band rolled into one, amazing.

Changed my life forever, and got me off my ass and forming a punk band within weeks. Monoman says Don't Jump Me Mother was written about this gig (there was a really big biker who was really into the whole party scene of the event, but he made everybody a little nervous, hogging everyone's booze and pot and such).<< Hoo boy, do I remember that one! It was 1977...I had to wait for Peter Greenberg's girlfriend to get off work and we drove up to Maine from Boston like bats out of hell - running down the gangplank as they were casting off the lines... I couldn't begin to list all my favorite gigs, but here's a couple (dates are off the top of my head): June 1966 - The Rolling Stones and the Standells at Manning Bowl (an outdoor football field) in Lynn, MA. I had my elbows on the 3 foot high stage between Mick and Brian. The Standells announced they had just gotten their first glimpse of the "Dirty Water" from the helicopter. The show ended in a riot, with tear gas and everything... Summer 1968 - Jimi Hendrix and the Soft Machine (with Andy Sommers) at the Carousel Summer Theater in Framingham, MA. A tent with folding chairs and a teeny stage, fer crissakes, that was used only in the summer. Was in the 4th row, which was about 8 feet away. Nuff said... Sometime around 1967/68 - the Velvet Undergeround with Nico at the Boston Tea Party. All I really remember (other than them knocking me out) was Andy Warhol walking around with a 16mm camera, filming the band and the crowd. I've always wondered if I'm on film somewhere... April 1977 - the Police with DMZ at the Rat. Not so notable for the gig (the Police had just had all their equipment stolen in NYC) as for me opening the dressing room door looking for JJ and bumping into Sting in his bikini undies (woo-hoo!) Lately, I'd have to include ? and the Mysterians a few years ago and the Pretty Things last year..... Gotta go - my day pass from the nursing home is almost up...
