LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION HISTORICAL SKETCH Parody Hall was a revered live music venue in Kansas City, Missouri, featuring roots rock, rhythm ‘n’ blues, punk, new wave, folk and reggae acts. In the late 1970s proprietor Tracy Leonard operated the first location at 811 W. 39th Street under the name King Henry’s Feast before a name change in 1981. This transition is alluded to in the Parody Hall concert-calendar mailer from that December: “At this time of year, it is a good idea to survey one’s standing in the grand scheme of things and extend gratitude to those who have helped make things click. The past nine months we have had help from a lot of folks…” By 1985 Parody Hall had relocated to 215 Main Street, with David Sanger becoming co- proprietor. The February 1985 mailer included a map inset showing the new location. A couple months earlier, in a November-December 1984 mailer, the venue’s impending move had been confirmed: “In case you are wondering, we will be moving sometime this year, probably not before you read this but not too long thereafter. The new place: you’ll like it, if you don’t love it. See you there…” Parody Hall played host to a number of rising and established national acts during the 1980s: Black Flag, Blasters, Brave Combo, T-Bone Burnett, Burning Spear, John Cale, Joe “King” Carrasco, Steve Earle, David Lindley, Los Lobos, Delbert McClinton, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Leon Redbone, Johnny Reno, Replacements, Sonic Youth, Sun Ra, Richard Thompson, Toots and the Maytals, and Warren Zevon. In addition, local and regional acts that performed there regularly included: BCR, Bel-Airs, Blue Riddim Band, Bo Deans, Bon Ton Soul Accordion Band, Fools Face, 4 Sknns, Homestead Grays, Kelley Hunt, Morells, The Zoo; and Steve, Bob & Rich, who later performed as the Rainmakers. Parody Hall continued booking musical acts on the club/concert hall circuit until closing its doors for good in the late 1980s. Sources: City Directory Collection.

  • NRBQ Derbytown
    NRBQ Derbytown 2004 saw the release of {$NRBQ}'s 1989 Montreal concert on the excellent {^One In A Million} DVD and 2006 brought this release of a 1982 show from Louisville, Kentucky entitled {^Derbytown}. As with the previous disc this one is chock full of great stuff from a group that is perpetual and indestructably inevitable. Credited as {$NRBQ} with {$The Whole Wheat Horns}, a duo who were touring with the band at this point in time, the version of the group here includes {$Joey Spampinato} on vocals and bass, the great {$Al Anderson} singing and playing guitar, {$Terry Adams} on vocals, piano and clarinet and {$Tom Ardolino} on drums. {$Spampinato}'s pretty and effective {&"I Love Her, She Loves Me"} is wonderfully sixties with Adams pulling out a tiny keyboard for something that sounds like it came off a {$Vanity Fair} recording. It's followed by a driving {&"What's The Plot"} with {$Al Anderson} singing like he's auditioning for {$Bachman Turner Overdrive}. That's a compliment. There are thirteen tracks on this forty-three minute concert along with one page of liner notes from {$Johnny D} and three cool "bonus" selections that are brief but very fun. The first of the bonuses is a mere seventeen second a cappella entry {&"Program Them Computers"} (process the data) with the gents wearing bags on their heads a la chef's hats and singing those six words. That's followed by a 42 second {&"Atsa My Boys"} promo film with those participating wearing the same attire and flinging pizza dough to harmonica accompaniment.

DESCRIPTORS *Bands (Music); Content Analysis; Discographies; *Music; Musicians; *Popular Culture IDENTIFIERS Media History; Music Ensembles; *Rock and Roll; *Rock Music ABSTRACT Based on the argument that (contrary to critical opinion) the musicians in the various bands associated with Bosstown Sound were indeed talented, cohesive individuals and that the bands' lack of renown was partially a result of ill-treatment by record companies and the press, this paper traces the development of the Bosstown Sound from its beginnings in the nightclubs of Boston in 1967 to its end in 1969. In addition, the paper provides complete discographies, including critical commentary, of records produced by bands associated with the Bosstown Sound. The bands of the Bosstown Sound include: The Apple Pie Motherhood Band, The Bagatelle, The Beacon Street Union, Bo Grumpus, Eagle, Earth Opera, Eden's Children, Sure Looks Real, The Ill Wind, Jolliver Arkansaw, Orpheus, Phluph, Puff, and Ultimate Spinach.

Once the effects of the new wave were fully absorbed, it became apparent that the world of singer-songwriters would never be the same again. A conceptual mood had taken over the scene, and that mood's predecessors were precisely the Bob Dylans, the Neil Youngs, the Leonard Cohens, the Tim Buckleys, the Joni Mitchells, who had not been the most popular stars of the 1970s. Instead, they became the reference point for a new generation of "auteurs". Women, in particular, regained the status of philosophical beings (and not only disco-divas or cute front singers) that they had enjoyed with the works of Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Suzy Gottlieb, better known as Phranc (1), was the (Los Angeles-based) songwriter who started the whole acoustic folk revival with her aptly-titled Folksinger (? 1984/? 1985 - nov 1985), whose protest themes and openly homosexual confessions earned her the nickname of "all-american jewish-lesbian folksinger". She embodied the historic meaning of that movement because she was a punkette (notably in Nervous Gender) before she became a folksinger, and because she continued to identify, more than anyone else, with her post- feminist and AIDS-stricken generation in elegies such as Take Off Your Swastika (1989) and Outta Here (1991).
