  • JANE LEE HOOKER Twitter.Com/Janeleehooker Jane Lee Hooker Is a Band of five Women from New York City Who Take Traditional Blues on a Fast and Rough Ride
    917-843-5943 Alan Rand 2014 janeleehooker.com photo by facebook.com/JaneLeeHooker janeleehooker.bandcamp.com JANE LEE HOOKER twitter.com/JaneLeeHooker Jane Lee Hooker is a band of five women from New York City who take traditional blues on a fast and rough ride. Their self-released debut, “No B!,” was released in November. Notable stages they’ve graced include Pappy & Harriet’s [email protected] (Pioneertown, CA), Dogfish Head Brewery (Rehoboth Beach, DE), the Harrisburg Midtown Arts Center (Harrisburg, PA), Ojai Deer Lodge (Ojai, CA), and the Wonderbar (Asbury Park, NJ). Back home in NYC, they can be seen at the Knitting Factory, Mercury Lounge, Bitter End and Rock Shop, among other places. The band’s calling cards are songs by Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Johnny Winter, Big Mama Thornton, and other blues greats—all fed through double lead guitars, a heavy rhythm section, and soul-scouring vocals. These women are by no means new to the game. Between the five band members, they have decades of experience playing, recording and touring both nationally and internationally. Individually, the members of Jane Lee Hooker have played for thousands of fans while sharing bills with the likes of Motorhead, MC5, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Deep Purple, among others. And they’ve played more club gigs in more cities than even they can believe. So how’d this gang of pros finally find each other? Guitarists Hightop and Tina honed their mutual love of blazing dual leads during their time together in Helldorado in the 90s. From there, Hightop joined Nashville Pussy, Tina joined Bad Wizard, and both women toured the world.

  • DKT/MC5 Sonic Revolution
    Listen mister, back in my day, blotter was 25 cents a hit and we had to walk two miles uphill to get it! And we liked it! Wayne Kramer is not someone who normally seems into beaming—his image is a little more ferocious than that. But onstage during the second night of the DKT-MC5 tour in Chicago, Kramer busted loose a big fat grin and started jumping up and down at one point. Back in the MC5 days, the band was known for its energetic, physical shows. Having never seen them live, I don't know if they ever jumped for pure joy back then, but that's clearly what Kramer was doing that night. The reunion of the surviving members of the MC5 (guitarist Kramer, bassist Michael Davis and drummer Dennis Thompson)—along with resurrections of the Stooges and the New York Dolls—is showing a renewed interest in these progenitors of punk rock. "It's surprising to me and it should be surprising to Iggy and those guys how much influence and affect our two bands have had on music now," Davis said. "I'm kind of in awe of it. We've had this kind of effect. And it's one thing to do something that people DKT/MC5 admire a lot, and go, 'That was really cool Sonic Revolution: Live At London's 100 stuff,' but to have this much influence is really Club [DVD] surprising to me." 2004 Image He continued: "I thought it was great, but I The DKT/MC5 gig at London's 100 Club never thought it was so foundational to the was the first salvo in what has become a future.

Heavy-metal in the 1970s was Blue Oyster Cult, Aerosmith, Kiss, AC/DC, Journey, Boston, Rush, and it was the most theatrical and brutal of rock genres. It was not easy to reconcile this genre with the anti-heroic ethos of the punk era. It could have seemed almost impossible to revive that genre, that was slowly dying, in an era that valued the exact opposite of machoism, and that was producing a louder and noisier genre, hardcore. Instead, heavy metal began its renaissance in the same years of the new wave, capitalizing on the same phenomenon of independent labels. Credit goes largely to a British contingent of bands, that realized how they could launch a "new wave of British heavy metal" during the new wave of rock music. Motorhead (1), formed by ex-Hawkwind bassist Ian "Lemmy" Kilminster, were the natural bridge between heavy metal, Stooges/MC5 and punk-rock. They played demonic, relentless rock'n'roll at supersonic speed: Iron Horse (1977), Metropolis (1979), Bomber (1979), Jailbait (1980), Iron Fist (1982), etc.

I was enrolled in Scott Friesner’s legendary “Vietnam and Rock” course and didn’t quite know what to expect yet from either the course or Scott. Being a product of the honors college, I showed up to new classes with a tinge of nervousness, but mostly a quiet confidence. A couple of lines from that initial class in Dunbar are forever burned in my mind. Firstly, and most importantly, professors that keep students for the full class on the first day are wankers. Secondly, if we never push ourselves to learn from people that are different from ourselves, we are simply masturbating our way through life.

    MC5's Wayne Kramer, Motorhead and The Sex Pistols Modernize Iconic Sound With Re- Recorded Tracks for Guitar Hero(R) World Tour 40 Years Later, Wayne Kramer, Joined By Jerry Cantrell of Alice and Chains and Gilby Clark Formerly of Guns 'N' Roses, Brings Back 'Kick Out the Jams' for Guitar Hero World Tour SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept 03, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Guitar Hero(R) fans will have a unique opportunity to unleash their inner rockstar as they come together and kick out some jams with exclusive re-records by MC5's Wayne Kramer, Motorhead and The Sex Pistols in Activision Publishing, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: ATVI) Guitar Hero(R) World Tour. Just shy of the 40th anniversary of the seminal performance in October 1968 when "Kick Out the Jams" was originally recorded, founder and lead guitarist Wayne Kramer went back into the recording studio with original producer Bruce Botnick to re-record the track exclusively for Guitar Hero World Tour. Featuring the vocals recorded by Rob Tyner in 1968, Wayne Kramer was joined by friends Jerry Cantrell of Alice and Chains and Gilby Clark formerly of Guns 'N' Roses -- at The Woodshed Recorder, studio of composer and ex-Oingo Boingo keyboardist Richard Gibbs -- to update and modernize the sound without taking away from the original visceral garage sound that made MC5 famous and helped start the Punk Rock revolution. Last year when they re-recorded "Anarchy in the U.K." as a Guitar Hero exclusive, fellow Punk Rock band The Sex Pistols - with original members John Lydon on vocals, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and producer Chris Thomas - also re- recorded "Pretty Vacant" utilizing the original analog sound board (circa 1969) that was built for George Martin at Air Studios, London, England in order to maintain the classic sound.

  • Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds for Our Purposes, The
    "KICK OUT THE JAMS!" Detroit Rock & Roll by Ben Edmonds For our purposes, the story of Detroit rock & roll begins on September 3, 1948, when a little-known local performer named John Lee Hooker entered United Sound Studios for his first recording session. Rock & roll was still an obscure rhythm & blues catchphrase, certainly not yet a musical genre, and Hooker's career trajectory had been that of the standard-issue bluesman. A native of the Mississippi Delta, he had drifted north for the same reason that eastern Europeans and Kentucky hillbillies, Greeks and Poles and Arabs and Asians and Mexicans had all been migrating toward Michigan in waves for the first half of the 20th Century. "The Motor City it was then, with the factories and everything, and the money was flowing," Hooker told biographer Charles Shaar Murray." All the cars were being built there. Detroit was the city then. Work, work, work, work. Plenty work, good wages, good money at that time."1 He worked many of those factories, Ford and General Motors among them, and at night he plied the craft of the bluesman in bars, social clubs and at house parties. But John Lee Hooker was no ordinary bluesman, and the song he cut at the tail of his first session, "Boogie Chillen," was no ordinary blues. Accompanied only by the stomp of his right foot, his acoustic guitar hammered an insistent pattern, partially based on boogie-woogie piano, that Hooker said he learned from his stepfather back in Mississippi as "country boogie." Informed by the urgency and relentless drive of his Detroit assembly line experiences, John Lee's urban guitar boogie would become a signature color on the rock & roll palette, as readily identifiable as Bo Diddley's beat or Chuck Berry's ringing chords.

  • “RON WAS the Riffmeister and All That Was Good in This World
    “RON WAS THE Riffmeister and all that was good in this world,” declares Andrew Innes of Primal Scream, just one of countless bands who owe an inestimable debt to Ron Asheton’s (pictured, in glasses) monolithic stun guitar onslaughts on the first two Stooges albums. Asheton, found dead yesterday at his Ann Arbor home from a suspected heart attack, was the most influential punk guitarist of all time, his monosyllabic, piledriver riffs providing blueprints for later applecart- upsetters like the New York Dolls and Sex Pistols. Even former Captain Beefheart and Jeff Buckley guitarist Gary Lucas has paid tribute to “some of the best and most iconic riffs in punk history”. In his own private world Asheton, whose unusual pantheon of heroes included Adolf Hitler and the Three Stooges, was the most dangerous embodiment of the Stooges’ dum dum boys aesthetic, infamous for his extensive collection of Nazi memorabilia and the unsavoury swastika armbands later adopted by UK punk- shockers. Ironically, he was the only Stooge who eschewed hard drugs. Ron was born in Washington DC in 1948, brought to Ann Arbor by his mother after his Marine Corp pilot father Ronald’s death in 1963. Besotted by the Beatles and the Stones, he became obsessed with Pete Townshend after a Who gig during a mid-’60s pilgrimage to London with high school buddy Dave Alexander. He played bass in local bands including the Prime Movers, Chosen Few and Dirty Shames before forming the Psychedelic Stooges with Alexander, Scott and a local kid he’d met called James Osterberg – rechristened Iggy after a stint in a band called The Iguanas.
