DJ Sid Presley Watch Video on Youtube Here Muck And The Mires Jun 28, 2018 15:00 BST MUCK AND THE MIRES: Ambassadors Of The Boston Beat Kick Off Burger Boogaloo Weekender | DJ Sid Presley Watch video on YouTube here Formed in 2001, MUCK AND THE MIRES are perhaps the first group to ever have a “Best Of” collection released before ever playing a note together; “All Mucked Up -The Best of Muck and the Mires”. In reality, these raw recordings were home demos created by Muck (Evan Shore formerly of Boston's The Queers and The Voodoo Dolls). Originally passed off as the lost sessions of an unknown sixties garage band, In 2001, the demos were issued on CD in Canada on AMP RECORDS and subsequently on vinyl by SOUNDFLAT RECORDS of Germany. Following the immediate success of the album, Muck assembled the real-life Muck and the Mires, who's current lineup features founding members JESSIE BEST (Drums) and PEDRO MIRE(Lead Guitar) and long-time bassist JOHN QUINCY MIRE. Watch video on YouTube here In 2004, the band gained worldwide recognition when they were featured on MTV as the winners of Little Steven Van Zandt's (E-Street band/Underground Garage) national battle of the garage bands contest. The group appeared that summer at Little Steven's festival in NY alongside Bo Diddley, The Stooges and The NY Dolls. Later that same year, they toured Europe for several weeks and quickly built a large following both home and abroad thanks to strong airplay and worldwide live appearances. The band performs coast-to-coast in the USA, UK, EU, Canada & Japan and South America. They have albums produced by Runaways legend Kim Fowley & Jim Diamond (White Stripes).

  • Yes, Virginia, Rock and Roll Is Dead, and Flesht<>
    Yes, Virginia, Rock and Roll is dead, and Flesht<>nes is its potent spirit. The brain-child of Playhouse of the Ridic:ulous alumni ./ Sterling Blak, (Mario Montez, Taylor Mead, and Charles Ludlahm were his classmates), and fellow avant-gardist Larry Lean, (son of famed L.A. session-man Mel Moore), Fleshtones is Rock and Roll in the boldest of colors; the rightful l:eirs to Professor Longhair and The Velvet Underground ••• the fulfillment of rock's promise of long ago, and a triumph for hard rockers everywhere. Egged on by their bone-crunching bant L, vocalists Blak and Lean bend and twist the musical express:'.on of ecstacy and despair to their most tormented limits. Those to be held personally responsible are fat-1.:at drummer Walt 'twhammy" Douglas (who parlayed a ho-hum bat·:;ing average into one of the most impressive slugging records in ·rock history), power-bassist Marko Roxx (his name tells the tale), ' guitarists Chance Fleeting (who's searing leads ,Uld .relentless rhythms on such instant classics as "Rock and Ro:Ll Hell" and "Bitch Boy" assure his niche in rock's Hall of F:Lame), and Mario David (his solo at the end of the catharti·! masterpiece, "No More", makes it clear once and for all that Jimi and Robin are nice names for girls). But mostly credit is due composer-vocalist Lean ( a high-yellow baby Jean Genet with the voice of Carmen McRae gone mad), and lyricist-vocalist Blak (a tantalizing flash of pure terror guaranteed to drive psycho-drama out of the clos~t with a single blood-freezing scream).

Riding the momentum wave of 2017's epic "Don't Let It Be" album, (which was originally released on cassette from Lolipop Records, and is now available on limited colored vinyl through Dirty Water Records USA)the band have now unleashed Lobotomobile on the public. The 11-song full-length is available digitally and in limited-edition quantities on vinyl, cassette, and CD. View embedded content here Watch video on YouTube here The band features Robbie Pfeffer on vocals, TJ Friga on guitar, Chris Hudson on bass, Chad Dennis on drums, Austin Rickert on sax, and Dave Cosme on trumpet and percussion. Together, the band creates jumpy, raucous music — topped with sharp, thought-provoking lyrics — that pulls in a few different apples from the punk rock tree, from artsy to hardcore. Their multi-flavored sound maintains a ska vibe at times with its horn section and other times those noisemakers lend themselves to help bust out garage rock dripping with the spirit of the ‘60s. The band are constantly on the road and will kick off the second leg of their US tour in Denver, Colorado on May 2nd. You can catch them this weekend before they leave town at the Yucca Tap Room.

  • 19Th August 2018 a Few Minutes with the Dictators' Andy Shernoff
    19th August 2018A few minutes with the Dictators' Andy Shernoff [https://3.bp.blogspot.com/- ktsfimQWqvQ/W3oRTeLFQ4I/AAAAAAAABKU/2VDa1FeSHRg_z3qutb5Gw-AIZpfVW- 61gCEwYBhgL/s1600/AS1.jpeg] Photo by Hanna Toresson Andy Shernoff isn’t often lumped in with the Beatles, or the Rolling Stones, or even the Sex Pistols. But with a legacy like his, he doesn’t have to be. Chances are, if you were ever interested enough to check out Garagerocktopia in the first place, we likely need not explain who he is or his place in Rock and Roll. But just in case you need a little clarification, he started a band in New York back in the early ‘70s called the Dictators. That band may never have sold as many albums as they or their record company might have liked, but the sound they cranked out has yet to stop resonating. Shernoff was the singer, bass player and perhaps most importantly, the songwriter for the Dictators. At the time, the phrase “punk rock” had not yet been growled. The music that would earn that name, though, was being birthed, and few bands were more responsible for what eventually popped out than were the Dictators “It’s not like we’re part of the public discourse or anything, but we did play a transitional role in the history of rock,” said Shernoff, who talked to Garagerocktopia by telephone from his upstate New York home and by e-mail. “The first Dictators album was released in 1975 a year before the Ramones and two years before the Sex Pistols. Joey Ramone was wearing glitter when he used to see us wearing leather jackets at The Coventry in Queens.” Other members of the band included lead guitarist Ross “the Boss” Friedman; rhythm guitarist Scott Kempner; drummer Stu Boy King and singer Richard Blum, better known as Handsome Dick Manitoba.
