I was told that, at a recent show (maybe New Year's Eve) of I *think* the Real Kids, Monoman got up on stage and "did" a head of lettuce. Supposedly it was a response to Carly Carioli of the Boston Phoenix and his recent editorials about Jeff and the Lyres. Um, has anyone else heard this story? Did it really happen? I heard it from a source that I am not sure is reliable (I don't know the person too well). - -Andrea __________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2000 15:52:00 -0800 (PST) From: Andies Candies Subject: Re: Favourite Gigs - --- fbrandon wrote: > show the velvets did in beantown at an old glamorous > but past it's prime > movie theatre near the combat zone--- The Paramount?

Had to chime in on this post citing the first Girls In The Garage comp:: >>Hey... Number 1 is the best...the Denise and Co, Belles, Continental Co-Ets and the great "I'm on your Prey" by the Glass Opening are all fabulous<< The Denise & Company track is listed as "Take Me As I Am" on the comp, probably sourced from a 5th generation cassette dub of the 45. Truth be told, that ain't the correct title. The song is "Boy, What Will You Do Then". Penned in mid 1965 by Denise Kaufman of SF, backed in the studio by the Answer of "I'll Be In" fame. Far as I know, only one person has this 45 (it ain't me, damn it!) The Glass Opening don't belong on a Girls In The Garage comp, because there ain't no chicks in the band! The lead singer was in fact a pre teen guy, not a girl. The 45 came out in 1971 (yup, believe it folks) after the debut Glass Opening 45, which was a split single. The G.O. did "All Those Lies" on the Dondee label in 1970, with a different group on the flipside. A Verycool minorkey organ mesmerizer (at least for me). The other tune by the Glass Opening is the topside to "I'm On Your Prey", called "My Heart Is Heavy". It's got the kid vocal, but a real late 60's heavy guitar sound. Krunch!! I always thought it funny how "I'm On Your Prey" was tagged as by a girl garage group. If you listen, the kid sez "Keep It Up Now GIRL, I'm On Your Prey..." I think the same sex preference woulda been toofarout a concept in 1971.

Yeah, I saw him a couple of years later. It wasn't INCREDIBLE, but it wasn't awful either. I remember that he DID rap, he DID "modernize" things.

Some more that spring to mind: Don Johnson (Miami Vice) was in Horses - 2 45s on White Whale in '69. TV game show host Chuck Woolery was in the Avant Garde who had 3 45s on Columbia 1967-1968. Titles include - 'Yellow Beads', 'Honey & Gall', 'Naturally Stoned' - mainly orchestrated pop with hippie vibes. Chevy Chase was in Chamaeleon Church, who put out an enchanting soft-psych LP - vastly under-rated in my 'umble opinion. Evocative writing from Ted Myers who continued the mood set by his and The Lost's 'Violet Gown' - a Boston and 60s classic. Trippin' across to the best gigs thread - my #1 is undoubtedly the Paradise in Boston, March 1999. The Lost, reunited after 30+ years for their one-off gig, delivered a stunning set, sandwiched between the Rising Storm and the Remains. I could go on and on about this life-event of a gig but I'll spare y'all (though I've indulged on the Fuzz, Acid and Flowers website!). #2 - Bevis Frond, Steppes, Chemistry Set at the Freakbeat Freak Out gig, Greyhound, Fulham Palace Road, 29/12/89. Underground ecstasy with coloured sugar cube handouts. #3 - a possibly contentious and definitely non-Bomp choice: - Genesis, Trick Of The Tail tour - 1976, Hammersmith Odeon, London. The press had already written Genesis off following the departure of Peter Gabriel and pens were poised to condemn them further when it was announced that they'd continue with Phil Collins steppin' forward into Gabriel's role. Well, sod the lot of 'em, Genesis were fantastic and Collins delivered a kick up their collective asses. Alternating between frontman and drums, he was accompanied on a second kit by the Yes' talented Bill Bruford. This appetising combination climaxed with an awesome 'Los Endos' - the roar that greeted them at the end lifted the friggin' roof off. Memorable and spirit-lifting. Chow, Max Myndblown >Subject: RE: bomp-digest V2000 #60 Snazzy asked about famous people in 60's groups. 1. Jerry Mathers of "Leave it To Beaver" fame was in Beaver & the Trappers. 2. A briefly famous person in a band was Steven Weed. Weed was Patti Hearst's boyfriend when she was captured by the SLA. I don't remember what band he was in, though. (Not The Weeds, however.)

Andrea, the Smears did indeed do a cover of "I'm on Your Prey" on their SMEARS IN THE GARAGE ep. As a matter of fact, this Smears album was talked about a few months ago on this list, mostly in regards to their Billy Childish cover, "Cum into My Mouth." A great ep, snatch it up!

And I didn't even start to go to shows much @ all till a year and half ago! Here 'tis (in no particular order): 1. Las Vegas Grind, Halloween '99. Probably the best time I've ever had anywhere, anytime. Scores of great bands, cheap drinks, tons of beautiful girls, and an unbelievable camardie and good vibes among everyone I met (esp. w/the bompsters). Fave bands: the Trashmen, Untamed Youth, the Breadmakers, the Embrooks, Shutdown '66, and the Phantom Surfers. 2. the Eyeliners/the Groovie Ghoulies, San Antonio/Austin, April '99. Two fun nights of seeing two great live bands in two different cities. First night was @ Wacky's, second here @ Emo's. So great my brother's b-day and the first night of the shows gave me an excuse to go to San Antonio. 3. ? and the Mysterians, Electric Lounge, Austin, March '99. The same show Ayssa mentioned earlier, an amazing and incredibly great show by these unstoppable guys. The Sons of Hercules also put on a great set opening (the best I've ever seen them do). A shame this place is now closed. (Also almost met Alyssa that night, got her offlist e-mail too late, though). Other honourable mentions (all Austin shows, '98-'99): Thee Headcoats, Emo's; Girl Trouble, Emo's; the Jewws, 33 Degrees (free show); the Shakewells @ the Fuzzclub;and Bob Mould @ Liberty Lunch. As far as most disappointing shows, I'd say the one that let me down the most was Sonic Youth @ the now defunct Liberty Lunch last year. I guess it's understandable, since their equipment had just recently been stolen. First show can't remember, but it may have been Aerosmith in Dallas in '88.

What a hoot. > > The Sons of Hercules also put on a great set opening (the best I've ever > seen them do). yep, they had a clarity and energy that has been unmatched of late. They opened for The New Bomb Turks last Sunday. I think I already illuminated THAT evening for you. Did you go to the other show @ The Lounge as well? The Sons opened then as well, with The Sir Finks, I think, the shows were just a few months apart. Joe Emery or Scott may remember. > A shame this place is now closed. One of the Fastball guys sister ( I think Miles' ,not sure) owns it, and every other week there's a different rumour on what is to happen. I loved that venue, away from the 20 or so odd clubs and venues on 6th St. and the flotsam and jetsam you have to mill through on the way to our particular hangouts. If Austin had a bridge and tunnel crowd, their destination is definitely 6th, we would have to call them the Highway and Farm Road crowd. > (Also almost met Alyssathat night, got her offlist e-mail too late, though). Yep, ships in the night. Didn't meet until the Swap & Bop, best damn vintage flea market EVER, with great bands to listen to while bargaining in the bazaars of some of the grooviest vendors. They should have more than one a year. All right,nuff thoughts. On to catch up w/more mail. later. ~ALYSSA PS........What's got YOU home tonight? No shows, fetes, or my otherwise usual mayhem of some sort...............Chris gave me bronchitis, so I am fidgety, feeling odd at home, stir-crazy, but no shows to miss really, friends in Hot Wheels, Jr playing at Hole in the Wall, but other than that............lucky I got sick when I did. Good night to be ill. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 05 Feb 2000 23:48:05 -0600 From: Alyssa & Chris Subject: mail error, sorry listees That was a private mail to Dennis regarding one of his posts............. sorry to the list, I always loathe when people have their private conversations public, and here I am guilty of said sin. apologies: ~ALYSSA ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 5 Feb 2000 22:02:47 -0800 From: "fbrandon" Subject: joey's seattle ramones recall... i was at the eagles ramones show too---saw skinny ties at the odd fellow hall one night at the Bird when they were showing the film, Priviliege with Paul Jones---i hadn't seen it since it came out and wanted to (still need a VHS copy)---skinny ties played and their big closer was a number called Epicac or something that had the singer foaming at the mouth---the compere was a stunning amazon lady in leather who i never saw again and would've loved to (at that time)---when privlilede rolled, the takeup reel did not work on the projector and the entire film rolled onto the floor---must've been hell to pay with the distributor on that one---i can not remember who opened for the ramones at the showbox by name---but it was Mr. Somebody or Dr. Somebody who came out and did his shtick while wearing a refrigerator box of some sort---horrible... ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 00:25:31 -0800 From: "Joseph Beretta" Subject: Re: joey's seattle ramones recall... > i was at the eagles ramones show too---saw skinny ties at the odd fellow hall one night at the Bird when they were showing the film, Priviliege with Paul Jones---i hadn't seen it since it came out and wanted to (still need a VHS copy)---skinny ties played and their big closer was a number called Epicac or something that had the singer foaming at the mouth Oh yeah!
