It’s
the Bank Holiday Weekend which means one of two things; it’s pouring with rain
and ITV are showing a James Bond film. So to alleviate you from this, well for
an hour, for your listening pleasure I have The Damned live in session for BBC
6Music. Then The Witchdoktors unleash a new track from their soon to be
released “Voodoo Eye” album. Dom Daley from Über Rock, who I bumped into at The
Royal Albert Hall, pointed me in the direction of Mink Daggers and Rough Kids.
A track from each band is therefore aired. The Ramones debut album is getting
the “40th Anniversary Box-set” treatment so I get carried away
tripping over myself to order it from the most expensive site I could find. Of
course to illustrate this a Ramones tune is played. Staying in NYC;
D-Generation are all set to release their first new album since 1999s “Through
The Darkness”. “Nothing Is Anywhere” is due to hit the real and virtual record
stores on July 29th and features the classic line-up of Jesse Malin,
who I’ll seeing at The Borderline on the 15th July, Howie Pyro,
Richard Bacchus, Danny Sage and Michael Wildwood. 13 tracks of well, what
D-Generation do best and to prove it I play a track from said album. Swiftly
following D-Generation are The Outside Hours who hail from Barcelona and a song
from their “Devil’s Right Hand” CD. More new music and Ulysses’ “Law And Order”
LP is out next Friday which is guaranteed to keep you “Smiling”. After an
absence of maybe one or two years, sorry I mean weeks The Hip Priests have
released yet another new single. Of course I play one of the two tracks in
question and to be honest this is the finest couple of tunes the band has put
out. Adam Bomb’s gear is no longer “Stranded” in Mainland Europe having successful
crowd funded enough money to have sent back to the States. In recognition I air
an Adam Bomb track which he has just shot a video to. Back to new music and The
Claypool Lennon Delirium, who feature Les Claypool from Primus and Sean Lennon,
Neil Diamond’s Nephew have a tracked played from their debut album “Monolith of
Phobos”. Mrs A. thinks they sound like “Syd era Pink Floyd if he’d taken even
more hallucinogenic drugs.” Watts new album “The Black Heart Of Rock ‘n’ Roll” is
due out on the 10th June and to get you in the mood I play a track
from it. Wrapping this week’s show up is a track from an album that is already out
by one day which comes courtesy of the Black Bombers self-titled debut. Enjoy.
