Fishbone, Bad Brains and Living Colour? Make it happen
Posted by Peter

norwood_w_bunnyears.jpgAll right, everyone. I want your undivided attention. Fishbone, the energetic, stage-diving, ska-metal-funk-soul-jazz circus that burned down concert venues and aurally intercoursed with your ears with its fiery sonic assault in the '80s and '90s, is back ... with a vengeance.

Featuring original members the manic Angelo Moore on saxophone, soulful lead vocals and general mayhem, and bassist Norwood Fisher (pictured at right, courtesy of soundincolor.com), a man who can negotiate both the light-speed rhythms of punk and the fat grooves of funk, Fishbone, new lineup and all, is wilder and heavier than ever on its new record, Still Stuck In Your Throat (see http://www.goldminemag.com/Default.aspx?tabid=825&articleid=6395&articlemid=
4972#4972Articles
for review). Part of the reason is the molten, metallic riffs and subtle jazz stylings of former Suicidal Tendencies' guitarist Rocky George. I dare you to find anything hotter this summer than the crazed, all-out sonic blitz of "Let Dem Ho's Fight" or the tight, ska dance-party "Party With Saddam."

You might remember this band's t-shirts more than its music, which would be a damn shame. In the movie "Say Anything," a young Lloyd Dobber, played by John Cusack, wore the instantly recognizable skeletal fishbone t-shirt while wooing Ione Skye. No strangers to movies, Moore and Fisher also appeared recently in the OutKast imaginative, if flawed, movie "Idlewild' and the David Arquette movie, "The Tripper."

Anyway, Goldmine recently chatted up Fisher about the new record and his thoughts on Sly And The Family Stone, Parliament-Funkadelic, Jimi Hendrix and Tom Waits, of all people, for a feature story on the band that will appear in a future issue.

One of the interesting things Fisher touched on was a desire to have Fishbone tour with two of its contemporaries: the godfathers of reggae-punk, Bad Brains, and Living Colour — considering that both bands have either mounted comebacks or are plotting returns as we speak.

Fisher hinted at the possibility that Living Colour would come out with a new album next year. And Bad Brains, the band that perhaps unleashed the most fury of any American punk act ever, have a new disc titled Build A Nation due out June 26 that's produced by none other than the Beastie Boys Adam "MCA" Yauch.
 
"We've been talking about it for years," said Fisher. "Maybe 2008 is the time it becomes reality."

People, let's make this thing happen. Write your congressman, do a petition drive, sell your blood for money ... do whatever it takes to get these three bands together. That would be one of the hottest concert tours ever.

Feels like the first time
Posted by Peter

High atop my summer reading list is "My First Time — A Collection of First Punk Show Stories."

Edited by Chris Duncan, the book is essentially a clutch of essays from journalists, musicians and other punk faces in a crowd about their initial forays into the sometimes violent, but usually fun as hell, counter-culture world of punk rock. Included among the writers are Jawbreaker alum Blake Schwarzenbach, the Queers' Joe Queer (see our story on the Queers in the April 27 issue of Goldmine) and Big Takeover editor Jack Rabid (if you don't already, get a subscription to this magazine. Outside of Goldmine, of course, it's one of the best out there)

The book is due out this summer and a review is in the works.

Having read through half of it, the book got me thinking about popping my own punk cherry, as it were. Now, most everybody started out seeing some unknown band in a basement or a dirty, fetid club. For me, my first time was seeing the Clash at a hockey rink.

It wasn't just any hockey rink. It was the home of the NHL's Minnesota North Stars, who, sadly, transferred to Texas, a place that shouldn't even have hockey of any sort. Anyway, this was my second concert ... I think (I might have seen Rush first), and it was a pretty big deal for me. It wasn't that often that I got the family car to go the Twin Cities, and, being from a small, unincorporated town in western Wisconsin, this was a show that both excited and scared the hell out of me at the same time.

Up till then, I had never had any dealings with punks of any kind. There just weren't any in my school. Or so I thought. This girl I went with to the show was kind of a closet punk, like me. My friend, Dave, also went along. He was not a punk; he just dug the Clash.

So, we drove to the big city to see the mighty Clash. Now, this wasn't the real Clash. Yeah, Joe Strummer was still in the band, and so was Paul Simonon, but Mick Jones had been fired and replaced by Vince White and Nick Sheppard. This dubious move was supposed to return the Clash to its punk roots and while it did that, it also resulted in the worst album of the band's career, Cut The Crap. Strummer and company were touring to support it. Soon, Strummer and Simonon would bury the Clash, one album too late as it turned out.

But I didn't care, and the people I went with didn't care. This was the Clash, and it was going to be amazing. Live, they were still a fantastic band, tight as hell and furious. But for me, the crowd was the more interesting show. Mohawks, safety pins, leather jackets, colorful hair — it was eye-opening for a teen from the sticks. And I was terrified by the them. I could have sworn I saw two slam-dancers pull switchblades on each other, and because the show was in a hockey rink, there was no seating. The crowd was left to its own devices on the floor, and they were pretty violent. We found ourselves in the middle of it, being jostled about by something called a mosh pit.

I left feeling thrilled by the experience but also petrified at what I would find in the parking lot. I thought for sure I was going to come out to the car my dad had lent me and find it smashed up and sitting on cinder blocks. It was a station wagon, and when we left the building, we did see a station wagon on fire in the parking lot — no joke. But, it wasn't mine.

I saw punk shows after that, but none, except for a Social Distortion show that broke out in a skinhead riot, compared to that one.

Let me know: What was your first punk concert like? Or, if you prefer, let me know what your first concert experience was. I'd love to share more memories with you.

Gram Parsons not in the Country Music Hall of Fame?
Posted by Peter


images1.jpgThe world is full of injustice. Oil companies are reaping record profits while the little people shell out $3.42 a gallon for gas. No-talent hacks like Simon Cowell and Paris Hilton are richer than God, and yet, the Pixies have to go on a reunion tour just to make the house payments. It's enough to make me want to drive my Geo Metro into a tree.

No doubt, these are vexing times. Along those lines, how is it that the cosmic cowboy Gram Parsons is not in the Country Music Hall of Fame? It's a travesty ... that's what it is. The man who basically invented alt.-country and has influenced everyone from the Rolling Stones and the Band to Wilco is not there. The man who was a key contributor to the Byrds' Sweetheart of the Rodeo, perhaps the first country-rock album, is on the outside looking in.

Perhaps it's the "rock" part of that equation that makes Nashville nervous. If that's the case, then what about Elvis or Johnny freakin' Cash?

You have the power to right this wrong. By going to http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/531164998?ltl=1178745550, you can sign a petition and get this man the recognition he deserves.

Hey there: if you want to e-mail me your favorite Gram Parsons' recordings, I'd be glad to converse about them. Don't be shy kids.

40-year anniversary for Ten Years After; DVD coming
Posted by Peter

image001.jpg1967 was ground-zero for just about everything it seems. Not only did Sgt. Pepper come out that summer, but there was also the Summer of Love, Monterey Pop, and the birth of Ten Years After.

The band, formed in 1967 in Nottinghamshire, England, included Leo Lyons, Ric Lee, Chick Churchill and Alvin Lee, and compiled an impressive resume in the years that followed. To celebrate the band's 40th anniversary (don't you feel old now?), a new DVD will be released and there will a tour, according to www.classicrockcentral.com.

A touring warhorse that's logged tons of miles on the road, Ten Years After is probably known most for its legendary performance of "I'm Going Home" at Woodstock in August 1969. The band also played career-defining sets at The Newport Jazz Festival, the Miami Pop Festival, the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival and the Toronto Peace Festival between 1968 and 1975. Ten Years After was also one of the first to sell out Madison Square Garden.

The band reached gold and platinum status with several albums for the Decca label before signing to Columbia Rimage003.jpgecords for $1 million — which now would probably elicit yawns or laughter, like on "Austin Powers" when Dr. Evil holds the world hostage demanding a ransom of $1 million unless he his demands of $1 million are met. Ten Years After then released, in October of 1971, the A Space In Time album, which spawned the single, "I'd Love to Change the World." 

In 1975, Alvin Lee went solo and the group dissolved. Since then, aborted attempts to revive the group have resulted in Lee returning to his solo career. However, the other three founding members eventually reunited, working with hot-shot, 25-year-old guitarist Joe Gooch. The new lineup released Now, an album of new material, and a live album called Roadworks.

Show dates are below:

Ten Years After on Tour
 
Wed  07/11/07 New York, NY  B.B. King's Blues Club 
Thu  07/12/07 Northampton, MA Iron Horse Music Hall

Beck-ology
Posted by Peter

jeffbeckphoto.jpgTribute albums aren't exactly my cup of tea. The last homage to The Band being dreadful, I've just about given up on the concept altogether.

But, if you're into Jeff Beck (and really, who isn't? I mean, come on ... Yardbirds? The Jeff Beck Group?), there is a new one coming out that sounds a bit intriguing. It's called Freeway Jam to Beck and Back. Due out July 17, on Tone Center (4057), it brings together some heavy hitters from the world of blues, rock, and progressive jazz/fusion for this paean to a man (photo at right from JeffBeck.com) who, for all intents and purposes, has made the guitar his bitch over the years.

Among the contributors are respected guitarists Steve Morse, Eric Johnson, Chris Duarte, Greg Howe, Warren Haynes, and Walter Trout. Something tells me they won't defile Beck's amazing catalog the way other tributes have.

Lest you believe that it'll be all guitar solos, with no backing instrumentation, let me tell you, that'd be one false assumption on your part. Playing drums on five of the tracks is Vinnie Colaiuta, with Simon Phillips doing the stick-work on the others. Stu Hamm is holding down the low end on the bass, and Mitchel Forman will be playing keyboards.

Let me know: Are there any tribute albums you think are the bomb, rather than flat-out "bombs"? Hit me back and let me know.

Track listing, hitting you where it hurts — in the wallet, that is:

"Freeway Jam" — Featuring Steve Morse
"Over Under Sideways Down" — Featuring John Scofield
"Beck's Bolero" — Featuring Eric Johnson
"Led Boots" — Featuring Adam Rogers
"El Becko" — Featuring Jeff Richman
"Diamond Dust" — Featuring Mike Stern
"The Pump" — Featuring Warren Haynes
"Behind The Veil" — Featuring Chris Duarte
"Blue Wind" — Featuring Greg Howe
"Brush with the Blues" — Walter Trout

Acute ready for prime time
Posted by Peter


AcuteCD-01-01.jpgArms Around A Stranger is the new album from the hot-shit Los Angeles indie-pop band Acute, and you should get to know its fuzz-toned guitar attack and catchy hooks.

A collection of gorgeously crafted soundscapes — pieced together with pedal steel, an armada of tasteful strings, a horn section and blissful piano — with melodies that'll make you swoon (for a review, see www.goldminemag.com), Arms Around A Stranger is an early favorite for Top 10 albums of the year mention. Think the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds, as filtered through Grandaddy's space-pop modulator — whatever the hell that is.

Released May 7 on Help Records, Arms Around A Stranger was produced by one of today's pop producers extraordinaire, Dave Trumfio, who has also worked with Wilco and My Morning Jacket.

Of the experience, Isaac Lekach, vocalist and guitarist for Acute, said, "He was terrific. We are fortunate to have worked with him ... Dave has a fine ear and he's also an incredible engineer. We took our time finding the right amp/drum kit/mic configuration and I think it shows. Also, as a producer, Dave took the time before any of the recording actually started to fine-tune some arrangements and work the songs into shape."

To read more of the Acute interview, stay tuned to www.goldminemag.com. A full, extended version of the interview will be published in the coming days. To learn more about Acute, visit www.acuteband.com, www.myspace.com/acuteband, or www.helprecords.com.

An X reunion?
Posted by Peter

JohnDoe_76490001.jpgCould an X reunion be in the offing? The answer to that would be a definite maybe.

John Doe (photo at right by Autumn De Wilde) is punk rock's resident Renaissance man. An actor who's appeared in "Boogie Nights" and "Roadhouse" (really? Roadhouse?), Doe is known more as the founder of the fiery, Los Angeles rockabilly punk outfit X.

His new solo album, A Year In the Wilderness, comes out June 12 on Yep Roc Records, and trust me, it's good stuff. A winning combination of honest songwriting, a little tenderness and world-weary wisdom, A Year In the Wilderness is a dark, confessional take on punk and Americana, with driving rock guitars, elegant piano, creepy organ and soft-footed percussion.

Recently, Doe spoke to Goldmine about the record. A full-length story, with a review of the record, will appear in the June 22 issue of the magazine.

But, in the meantime, a nugget of news emerged from the interview that X fans might want to take note of. And that is, basically, that X is not dead. In fact, Exene Cervenka wrote the lyrics for "Darling Underdog," a highlight of A Year in the Wilderness.

"I'm still trying to work on some songs that might be right for X," said Doe, "and Exene and I have been talking about doing that, so I'm constantly looking at her lyrics thinking X songs, do X songs." With "Darling Underdog," Doe said, " ... these lyrics sounded like a more tender song to me." And so, alas, nothing for X at the moment.

All right, so nothing is set in stone and the news is sort of vague, and it's a bit of a tease, but when he said that, my ears perked up and I'm guessing it would make a lot of X fans take notice. Stay tuned.

Smashing Pumpkins' Zeitgeist
Posted by Peter

images.jpg'Tis the summer to bury the hatchet, make peace and get the band back together to make some cash.

This year has seen the reunions of Genesis, Dinosaur Jr., The Police ... even Van Halen at least thought about it. As it turns out, breaking up may be hard to do, but making up is really, really easy when there is money to be made. And the Smashing Pumpkins are going to make a boatload of it.

Their new album, Zeitgeist, is coming out July 10, and hopefully, it'll be a return to the Gish or Siamese Dream Pumpkins, and not the horrible Machina/The Machines of God version. If for some reason you've never listened to Siamese Dream or Gish — first, what's wrong with you? — do yourself a favor and buy both. As the title indicates, Siamese Dream is dreamy, melodic shoegazer music, with heavy guitar riffs and atmospheres you can get lost in. For my money, it's one of the top 3 albums of the '90s.

If nothing else, it'll have cool art work. Obey Giant graphic designer and illustrator Shepard Fairey makes a bold political statement, depicting a drowning Statue of Liberty in bold red, black and white. In the background is a sun. Depending on your perspective, it is either setting or rising.

“Like a great artist can do, Shepard had summed up very simply a lot of complex themes,” says the Great Pumpkin, Billy Corgan, in a press release. “He also used the type font from our very first single, and I asked him about it and he had no idea. He was just on point.”
 
Zeitgeist is the Pumpkins' sixth album and again, Corgan, ever the control freak, is again shouldering most of the work. This time around, there is no James Iha or D'arcy to get in the way, although drummer Jimmy Chamberlin is back in the fold. He even gets producer credit. Maybe this is a kinder, less controlling Billy Corgan.

Anyhow, Zeitgeist's first single, "Tarantula," is due out May 22.
 
Of the illustration's not-so-subtle political tone, Fairey says, "The U.S. is the dominant global force. When things are going wrong in the U.S. they are probably going wrong around the world. I think this images conveys both the U.S. situation and its larger global implications.
 
“I use red frequently because it is a visually powerful, emotionally potent color. Red gets people's attention. In this case there is the added possibility that the red liquid could be blood, giving it an even more sinister sense of foreboding.  Red helps people to realize immediately that something is wrong and the image is not a soothing postcard.”

To get a gander at the album art, go to www.smashingpumpkins.com and www.myspace.com/smashingpumpkins. Check out the tour dates there as well.

Getting the Led out
Posted by Peter


tbl17.jpgFanzines are great, and anything we here at Goldmine can do to promote them, we'll do. A fascinating one crossed my desk yesterday. It's called Tight But Loose, and it's a U.K. publication that covers anything and everything related to Led Zeppelin. Simply put, it delivers what it promises.

Longtime Zeppelin fanatics probably already subscribe to it and visit the Web site daily, but getting the latest issue was a revelation for me. In addition to news pages on each of the surviving members, including John Paul Jones' new bluegrass album with Uncle Earl, there are features on the 60 greatest performances of Jimmy Page and Zeppelin's final European tour, plus a clutch of CD reviews — most of them from the underground — all related to Zeppelin. Amazing stuff.

"30 years ago I established a platform of communication for Led Zeppelin fans starting with a handmade fanzine," said Dave Lewis. "Over the years, this has grown into what you see today in issue #17, as well as launching www.tblweb.com. Now together with the support of Xyz Promos we have launched a publishing plan for 2007 with three editions of the Tight But Loose magazine, expanding on that original premise to take the readers ever closer to the music."

The next issue is slated for August, 2007. Planned articles include: The Last Stand in the USA: 30th Anniversary Led Zeppelin North American Tour 1977 Extensive Retrospective; Arms '83 tour revisited; Part 2 of the Reel Collector's Guide; and more news on Page, Jones and, of course, Robert Plant.

Speaking of Zeppelin, veteran rock journalist Dave Thompson goes "Over the Hills and Far Away" with the '70s rock gods in the July 6 issue of Goldmine.

Hey all: Any other fanzines out there you dig? Write back to me and let me know what they are.

Summer of Love sells
Posted by Peter

SANTANA_publicity_07_v2m.jpgWhat better way to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love than with a little bit of free-market commerce. Hey, if Ben and Jerry can make capitalism work for them, why can't Time Life?

While the iron is definitely hot, Time Life will release, on June 19, a 40-song double CD with songs from that summer that defined a generation and its counterculture titled Summer of Love: Hits of 1967 (Time Life) and, not surprisingly, it gives off an odor of patchouli. Well, that last bit is not true, but really, don't you think it should?

Comprised of "hippie anthems, stoner faves, and classic AM and FM hits," according to the PR people promoting the box set, it features tracks like The Byrds' "So You Want to be a Rock 'N' Roll Star," Cream's "I Feel Free," and Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense and Peppermints." Whether it digs a little deeper back into those acts' Bible-thick catalogs remains to be seen.

While all those tracks probably already have a place in your iPod, the real prize from this collection might just be the My Generation DVD. What promises to be an in-depth study of how the hippie movement came to flower-power, the DVD boasts rare footage of Bay Area artists doing their thing during the Summer of Love.

There's Janis Joplin jamming with Big Brother and The Holding Company on "Ball and Chain" and a jam session bringing together the prodigious talents of Santana (Goldmine's May 25 cover), the Grateful Dead and the Jefferson Airplane. Performance footage from Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Rolling Stones and The Who is included.

Keep an eye on www.timelife.com for more information and do stay tuned for Goldmine's Summer of Love 40th Anniversary issue, coming out this summer. How's that for kismet?

Memories: Anybody out there old enough to remember the Summer of Love? If so, send some of them my way. Who knows? They just might make into Goldmine.

Gabba Gabba Hey

fans.jpgThe great Joey Ramone (photo at right from www.officialramones.com) may be dead and gone, but that isn't stopping people from celebrating his birthday. It's too bad he won't be around to enjoy it.

The seventh annual Joey Ramone birthday bash will be held Saturday, May 19 at the Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza, and more information on the event is being released. Emcees Little Steven Van Zandt and Matt Pinfield will host the festivities and a number of big-name artists are scheduled to play at the event, including glam-rock legends The New York Dolls. Unfortunately, if you don't have a ticket already, you're out of luck. The event was sold out long before this year's lineup was announced.

Event organizer, and Joey's brother, Mickey Leigh says Joey would have loved to have seen the Dolls play his birthday party. “Joey used to play the first Dolls album so much that the grooves eventually wore out on the vinyl, creating new arrangements to the songs, but he kept playing it anyway.” Leigh adds “The New York Dolls’ influence on the Ramones is well documented, and a nod is given to them in just about every interview the Ramones did regarding the band's formative years.”

A musician who was also a music fan — that's more rare than you'd think — Ramone, the man who probably did more to promote punk and young bands than anybody, died from lymphoma in April, 2001. He would have been 56 this year. A tribute to Joey, from the mouth of The Queers' Joe Queer, was published in the April 27 issue of Goldmine and can be read here:
http://www.goldminemag.com/Default.aspx?tabid=825&articleid=6060&articlemid=
4972#4972Articles


Other highlights of the birthday bash include the world debut of Slinky Vagabond, a new band featuring former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock, Blondie’s Clem Burke, David Bowie touring band member Earl Slick and Keanan Duffty. Performances from '60s-inspired garage band The Chesterfield Kings and NYC punk-rockers The Bullys promise to shake things up. Event attendees will also get a preview of the forthcoming Ramones “Double Live” DVD, due out in August 2007.  

A raffle will be held at this year’s event to raise money for The Joey Ramone Foundation for Lymphoma Research. For information on the raffle and the event, visit www.joeyramone.com. Net proceeds from the Bash go to support the aforementioned Joey Ramone Foundation for Lymphoma Research.

Jamaican holiday
Posted by Peter


pixlft.jpgThe biggest name in reggae is Bob Marley. What's the second biggest? Why, his backing band, of course.

News arrived this week from the Wailers' camp (photo at right courtesy of www.wailers.com) that the reggae legends, who've sold an astounding 250 million records worldwide, are heading back into the studio to record a new album, destined for a fall release. And that's not all. They are also heading back out on the road, with a new member in tow. His name is Yvad, and from his press clippings, you'd think he's the second coming of Marley himself. Of Jamaican descent, Yvad is a young Rastafarian singer-songwriter inspired by — who else — Bob Marley.

Yvad joins a lineup that includes original members Aston "Family Man" Barrett, considered by many as the best bass player in reggae, and Al Anderson, whose talents have graced recordings by Ben Harper, James Brown, Marley, Peter Tosh and Lauryn Hill.

Visit www.wailers.com to get the lowdown on all things Wailers, and if you dig reggae and Jamaican music in general, visit www.heartbeatreggae.com. Featured in Goldmine's May 25 indie label issue, the site offers a treasure trove of reissued music from some of the best acts in the island's history.

Let me know what you think: Who are some of your favorite reggae artists and why? Black Uhuru always did it for me. I had the pleasure of seeing them in college in the basement of the Eagles Club in Milwaukee and, not only was the band smooth and tight, it proved that Michael Rose is probably the best pure singer the genre has ever produced.
