It’s Tuesday, nowhere near the Weekend. So to cheer you
up, as almost promised, here’s the Mid-Week Special, minus 1. Kicking things
off are The Beatles with two tracks that you probably haven’t heard on the
Radio; one old and one new. Iron Maiden have a new album out in the form of
“The Book Of Souls”, naturally I air a track from said album. Imperial State
Electric released their fourth album last Friday called “Honk Machine”. I’m not
asking…..After careful consideration I select a choice cut for you to hear. ISE
are over here in Blighty supporting Graveyard in November. Coincidently Graveyard
will be releasing their new album “Innocence & Decadence” next month, so if
your mind isn’t already made up about purchasing tickets to see ISE and
Graveyard I play you a little taster from the band’s aforementioned new album
to push you in the right direction. Black Trip are up next as Nicke Andersson
was at the Production Helm for their third album “Shadowline”. In a quick “Heads
Up” Ghost Highway Records will soon be putting out a new live vinyl Record from
The Nomads, the label has also just released a 7” from The Dahlmanns the a-side
of which I play. Another track from The Catastrophe RecordsBorn Loose/Lovesores
split 7” gets played as the label has inked in a distribution deal with
BootlegBooze.com and Undergroundmediciene.com. Even with Eddie Spaghetti
sidelined at the moment due to his on-going Cancer TreatmentTheSupersuckers
have still found time to record the new album “Holding The Bag”. Whilst
listening to the title track go here
and donate. The Bones have just recorded their first track in their native
German language. Does it work? I play it for your own judgement. After a five
year hiatus the Backyard Babies are back on Friday with “Four By Four”. Reviews
are mixed. After its first play I originally thought that it would’ve made a
great 4 track ep, even the name says so. However after having it on heavy
rotation for the benefit of The Squirrel I found it to be a grower and I’m
looking forward to hearing great swaths of it played live. In the meantime a
track from said album is obviously played. Talking of The Squirrel; more out of
the Country clashing gigs have befall her. Still involving Amorphis but now The
Michael Monroe Bandhas gotten themselves mixed up in the proceedings. To
underline The Squirrel’s dilemma I play a track from the new Amorphis album
“Under The Red Cloud”. The Paranoid Squirrel resident Butterfly Keeper, yes we really do have one, gave us at The Role
Models gig on the 21st a list of bands that were most defiantly
Squirrel pleasing. Unfortunately in the cold light of day I couldn’t read my
own handwriting making out only two bands. The first legible band was The
Prophets of Addiction. A quick Google Search had me reading that they were a) A
Rock Band from Seattle and B) The press has likened them to; Guns n Roses, The
Ramones, Mötley Crüe, Dead Boys, LA Guns, Hanoi Rocks and the Lords of the New
Church. On that basis I purchased their second album “Reunite The Sinners” which
features a guitar solo from CC DeVille however I play a track for you that
doesn’t. The final song on this Tuesday Night Special comes courtesy of a solo
track from former Space Age Playboy and current Tattooed Millionaire Johnny
Jetson’s “The Father, The Son And The Ghost Of Rock And Roll” debut Album. See
you Thursday.
