SATAN’S RATS

“You Make Me Sick”

(Evesham, England 1978)

In England, punk rock ended up being more about media than xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel music. Once the media bubble burst, even the Clash had to xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel come to the USA to create a lasting legacy.

Suburban kids who xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel just wanted to make records that rocked like the Damned were dismissed as pathetic copycats. Satan’s Rats never had xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel a chance, apparently. The band tell their story here.

“You Make Me Sick” was produced by the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel incomparable Vic Maile, who also brought us The Godfathers’ “Birth, School, Work, Death,” Motorhead’s Ace of Spades, and Royal Court of China’s Geared and Primed.

DJM Records was the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel label division of Dick James Music, an old-line UK music publisher that xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel controlled a lot of Beatles and Elton John song copyrights. They signed a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel slew of punk bands in a vain attempt to cash in on the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel Sex Pistols.

There wer no hits, but this is one of the best ‘77 era punk records.

HOSE

“Dope Fiend” & “You Sexy Thang”

(NYC 1982)

I realized last week that it’s been almost twenty years since I had an argument about Hose.

Fighting about Hose was almost a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel blood sport in the 80s. At first, they were dismissed as a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel feeble Flipper tribute band. Later, as Def Jam records started to xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel take off, they were called guitarist Rick Rubin’s vanity project.

Wrong, and wrong again.

Hose were awesome and xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel their music says a lot about why Rick turned out to xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel be such a great producer.

This EP was allegedly recorded in Rick’s NYU dorm room on a boom box with the player’s built-in condenser microphone before becoming the first release on Rubin’s Def Jam Records. Rick takes both a producer credit (recorded between the hours of 10pm and 1am) and “art and design” credit (adding, helpfully, “Cover Based on Piet Mondria, Tableau II).

I don’t believe the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel condenser mic part of the story, but this record was made by kids thrilled by their ability to xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel make an infernal racket. All the stumbling in the groove just adds to the power; they’re learning to play as they record these songs.

And I’ll go a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel step further: Flipper was a conceptual art project masterminded by a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel group of (relatively) old San Francisco punk hippies. No doubt, the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel first few singles and the Generic Flipper LP are xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel crucial records, among my favorites. And Hose desperately wanted to make records that xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel sounded like Flipper.

But Hose were an xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel uncalculated, reckless and downright foolish band, just happy to be there, pissing off their neighbors. Flipper is xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel smart, Hose is dumb. And dumb usually wins in rock.

I saw Hose open for Hüsker Dü at City Gardens in Trenton, NJ in 1984 and xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel they still were running a vacuum cleaner through the PA to xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel create extra distortion during their set. I voted Hose then, and xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel I vote Hose now.

GIRLS AGAINST BOYS

“Bulletproof Cupid” & “My Night of Pleasure”

Live at JC Dobbs, Philadelphia 1993

When Girls Against Boys signed to xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel DGC Records in 1995, people in the business believed it was the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel largest deal ever for an unproven rock band.

The legendary unpublished memoir Wasting Away: How the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel Major Labels Got Drunk on Punk Rock and Forgot Everything They Knew About the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel Record Business tells the story in grisly detail, but we’ll settle for the short version here.

GVSB waited three whole years to release Freak*On*ica on DGC in 1998. The album got lukewarm reviews and xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel had weaker sales than their final album for Touch & Go.

Even though I was frustrated with the album (mostly because the band refused to take any A&R advice from me whatsoever), I didn’t distance myself from xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel the band when it would have been a strong career move to xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel let everyone forget that I spent a year following the band all over America and xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel Europe.

Geffen/DGC got shut down, the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel artist contracts got transferred to Interscope and I was asked to xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel leave the company shortly before Universal bought Girls Against Boys out of the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel balance of their contract.

You’d think I’d have xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel more perspective on the foolishness after ten years, but watching this xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel video convinces me that I’d do it xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel all over again. This band should have saved alternative rock and xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel spared us all the nü metal reign of terror. And they’re still the handsomest band in the history of rock.

“Bulletproof Cupid” is the best song from Venus Luxe, the album that started all the craziness. “My Night of Pleasure” has xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel always been my favorite GVSB song. This performance was recorded just a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel few months before I first saw the band and it’s certainly $2 million worth of rock.

GVSB will perform Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby on July 20 in NYC at the Bowery Ballroom & July 22 in LA at the El Rey Theatre as part of All Tomorrow’s Parties “Don’t Look Back” Festival.

DIETER MEIER

“Cry for Fame”

(Switzerland 1978)

Yello, the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel Swiss synth group fronted by Dieter Meier, is supposed to be xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel an art project but they’re really just an annoying, cut-rate Kraftwerk.

So I’m not sure how serious Dieter Meier was when he made “Cry for Fame.” Is this xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel a real punk record or an arch European commentary on a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel punk record?

CINECYDE

“Don’t Come Crying to Me”

(Detroit 1982)

If Cinecyde had released this song on a single, I’m sure that xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel 45 would be one of the most highly coveted records of the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel era.

Unfortunately, “Don’t Come Crying to Me” appeared on I Left My Heart in Detroit City, an album that isn’t as good as its title or its unsettling cover photo.

THE CELIBATE RIFLES

“Sometimes (I Wouldn’t Live Here if You Payed Me)”

(Sydney 1984)

I’m not sure how widespread the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel mid-80s Australian rock explosion was outside of Boston and New York but, for xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel a couple of years there, the East Coast seemed to care a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel lot more about Sydney than Los Angeles.

When the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel Celibate Rifles arrived at my Somerville apartment in 1986, they were a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel ragtag military unit of hyperactive boys led by a jaded and xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel dissolute commander. This was the story: Damien Lovelock was a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel legendary Sydney surfer & self-styled poet who xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel corralled a group of much-younger high schoolers into giving a punk-rock accompaniment to xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel his onstage rantings. Damien styled himself as an Australian Leonard Cohen but he probably more resembled a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel blonde Jack Sparrow.

Now, I’m not sure how much of that xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel was true. Looking at the photos now, Damien doesn’t really look much older than xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel the rest of the band. Guitarist Kent Steedman was hyperactive but he might have xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel been the real driving force behind the band.

Damien Lovelock did have xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel incredible powers of persuasion; he somehow convinced me to let him smoke in my car as I chauffeured him around Boston during the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel week I hosted the band.

This single version of “Sometimes” was a xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel giant hit on the Boston College radio stations in early 1985. The song was recut for xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel an album at some point but it was this version that xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel convinced What Goes On Records to sign them and bring them to xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel the States.

“Radiationmasturbation”

(Stockton, CA 1982)

I’ve yet to encounter a black mood that this record can’t improve.

California hardcore bands weren’t taken very seriously on the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel east coast, probably because they never let their politics get in the xp professional sp2 studenten schlssel way of being funny.
