Welcome to Episode 486 of The Paranoid Squirrel
Rock Show. Blasting things off this week are The Outta Sites from Hollywood,
California and a track taken from their newest recording "Outta Site,
Outta Mind". Shame I missed their Numbucca gig on the 7th January.
Then at the behest and recommendation of Andy P. of The Fear & Loathing
Fanzine I play a track from US Punk Stalwarts Poison Idea's "Confuse and
Conquer" album. Then after talking about The Professionals and Rich Kids
joint headlining gig at the Shepherds Bush Empire I play The Vicious White Kids
who as the name implies features Sid Vicious, Rat Scabies and Glen Matlock and
Steve New. Former Radio Birdman Chris “Klondike” Masuakalong with The Viveiro
Wave are all set to release, thanks to Crowdfunding site pozible.com, the CD
version of his soon to be released vinyl only album "Brujita".
Obviously a track from it is aired. To celebrate The Black Halos recording
again and playing in London for guitarist Rich Jones' birthday I run a
competition to win a copy of "The Violent Years" numbered on Red
vinyl album. As the Role Models are supporting The Black Halos and have just
launched a Pledge Campaign for their second album "Forest Lawn" it
seemed the right thing to do and play a track by them. So I do. The Michael
Monroe Band have just landed Stateside for some touring and have just been
added to the "Stone Free Festival" in June at the o2 Arena. The band
have just released a new single "Going Down With The Ship" which I
stupidly don't play. However I do still play something from "Blackout
States. As you should know The Deathtime Assembly is taking place at the The
Pipeline on the 19th and 20th two of the bands have got
together to release a split 7" in time for the gig. Those bands being The
Hip Priests and Bloodlights. Consequently I give you an audioable taster. As it
was both Repo and Lloyd Stuart Casson from Smash Fashions birthday last week I
thought I'd play "Long Blond Animal" which is the b-side of their
current single “Junkie Luck”. Sticking with b-sides; Beat The Drag have the
flip of their last single played as well. To celebrate 25 years from the
release of "Where Have All The Good Girls Gone" core members of The
Crybabys, that'll be Honest John Plain, from the Boys and Darrell Bath, who can
currently be found in The Vibrators, have roped in Robbie Ruston and Lester
Greenowski to record two new tracks for a split 7" called "The
Italian Job". Lester Greenowski in solo mode is on the other side with two
of his contributions. A track from each gets The Squirrel treatment. The
Stranglers are up next with my own "Cut & Paste" version of
"Bring On The Nubiles". Dai from The Sick Livers apparently needs a
Nurse since being involved in a Car Accident, so I give him one......This week’s
show is wounded up by The Rosehips whose vocalist Kevin Junior, who later
formed The Chamber Strings, sadly passed away last month.
