Nuns - Demo 1977

The Nuns from San Francisco existed from 1976 to 1979 and in that time they only had two singles released. At the end of 1977 they recorded demos for CBS Records but did not get a record deal. They moved for a while to New York City in 1978 and after returning to San Francisco they split up. In 1980 a final single was released before some of the band members got back together to record an LP for the Posh Boy label. These two songs are some of the demos they recorded in 1977 with the original line up. This is from a radio broadcast.

track list: [from cassette tape]
01. World War 3
02. Confused + Talk Talk

Damned - the utopia bootlegs 1979

Leyton Buzzards - BBC In Concert 1979

Leyton Buzzards were from London and existed from 1977 to 1980. In that time they released 5 singles and an LP besides recording four John Peel Sessions. The first single 19 & Mad is a favorite of mine for its raw sound and teen anthem appeal. The rest of their output is soft in comparison but still enjoyable to listen to. This BBC live show features much rawer versions of songs from their album. This is a radio broadcast and the quality is excellent.

Crucifucks - Demos and Live shows 1981-1984

Crucifucks is one of those bands people  either like or hate. I like them and they were my favorite band in the early 1980s. I think they definitely had a unique style which they invented and has not been copied either. The singer's very original vocal style and delivery is one thing that sets the band apart from the rest of the Punk by numbers bands that existed at the time. Their lyrics were serious and very political but fun and even funny in a way. In the way of best and memorable gig that I have seen the Washington DC 7-03-83 is in my top five. The sound quality on the demos is excellent. All the live shows are audience recordings but are all very listenable.

Demo 1981:
01. By The Door

Demo 1983:
01. Democracy Spawns Bad Taste
02. Go Bankrupt and Die

Damned - Bataclan Theatre, Paris 10-06-77

Here's a Damned show that is interesting for the fact that it is the first show in 1977 that they played without Rat Scabies. Dave Berk from the Johnny Moped band is playing in his place. Lu Edmund has also joined James, Vanian, Sensible by this time and they are playing 6 songs from the Music For Pleasure album in much rawer form than you'll find on that album. This is an audience recording.

Teen Fuck Explosion - Supervixens

Here's another band from Berlin Germany that I don't know much about. I downloaded these two songs from their website about 8 years ago. I'm not sure if they ever released anything and don't think they were around for very long. These two songs were recorded in their rehearsal space. Anyone have any information and more music from this band? I love these two songs!

Track List:
01. Supervixens
02. Spitfire

Also, for anyone interested, I used to find new bands and music here: http://www.trashsurfin.de/
This is where I found Teen Fuck Explosion and The Heroines and much more.

Heroines - Rock 'n' Roll Boy

Here's a punk band from Germany c. 2002. I don't know much about them but I downloaded these three songs from their website 8 years ago and I think all these songs are on a 7" ep. Apparently, they have a CD out that sounds a little softer than these three songs but I am looking for it if anyone has it and can upload it for me. It seems they split in 2004 and some members formed the girl pop manga punk band Popzillas.

Chords - Rainbow, London 1980

The Chords were one of the top Mod-Revival bands of the early 1980s. They started in 1978 and finished in 1981 and in that time released one album and seven single with limited success. This show was recorded when they were at the top of their game. It's from the sounboard and the quality is great. More info here: http://www.thechords.co.uk/biography/index.htm

Stranglers - Raven demos 1979

Hugh Cornwell is playing in my neighborhood this weekend so I thought I post some Stranglers stuff for the occasion.  Supposedly these are demos for the Raven album but they could be just different mixes.

Eyes - Masque, Hollywood 1978

The Eyes were one of L.A.s early Punk bands and are probably most known for the fact that Charlotte Caffey, who made it big with the Go Gos, was an original member. This original line up only released one song on the What Records 7" ep sampler in 1978 (http://www.discogs.com/Eyes-The-Controllers-The-Skulls-Untitled/release/1874412). One further studio track from this line up was released on the What? Stuff compilation CD in 1998 (http://www.discogs.com/Various-What-Stuff/release/2329905). In 1996 a six song live set was released in the Live From The Masque vol. 3 CD. This live set features 4 of the songs that have been released plus a Sonny & Cher cover and five songs that haven't been heard anywhere else. The sound quality is very good but it is an audience recording. To see clips of a recent reunion show go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6VYFCf54AA

01. Little Girl From Hell
02. Don't Talk To Me

Slits - Eric's, Liverpool 10-77 + Alexander Palace, London 6-15-80

The Slits singer Ari Up died today so I thought I put up these shows as tribute to her and the musical power of her band. The Eric's set shows the primitive beginnings of the band while the Alexander's Palace shows the growth they achieved as musicians over the three years. They show very different bands, actually. Both shows are recorded from the soundboard so generally very good quality.

Eric's Setlist:
01. Vindictive
02. Instant Hit
03. Vaseline
04. So Tough
05. New Town
06. Love And Romance
07. Femme Fatale
08. Shoplifting
09. No. 1 Enemy

Alexander Palace Setlist:
01. Instant Hit
02. I Heard It Through The Grapevine
03. Adventures Close To Home
04. Man Next Door
05. Walk About
06. Spend, Spend, Spend
07. Newtown

Zeros - KUOR, Redlands CA 5-27-78

Since the Zeros from Chula Vista California are playing my neighborhood next week I thought I'd celebrate by posting an old live show by them. This was recorded just before their second single was released and they play both songs from it as well as the hit song from the first single. All the other songs were not released until the 1990s. This is a radio broadcast but the person controlling the knobs had everything turned way up so there is distortion in the broadcast. It's still an enjoyable listen. So, enjoy.

New Christs - Tivoli, Sydney 7-83

The singer of New Christs was Rob Younger whose previous band had been Radio Birdman.  They formed in 1980 released a single and then split.  But, in 1983 Rob Younger rounded up a new lineup in order that the New Christs could be the support group for Iggy Pop on his Australian tour.  This show is from one of those gigs but as you'll hear in the stage announcements Iggy had to cancel this gig. The line up is Chris Masuak – guitar, Mark Kingsmill – drums, Tony Robertson – bass, Kent Steedman – guitar. This was recorded from the audience but is very good quality. From cassette tape.

These Victims were from Perth Australia and released one classic single in 1977 and one ep in 1978 before splitting in 1979.

Vex - Demo, 12" ep + Live shows

Add caption

Vex were from London and were apart of the Anarcho-Punk scene in the early 1980s. Their music was more influenced, though, by Killing Joke than Crass. They released one 12" ep on the fightback label in 1985 and had one song on the We don't Want Your fucking Law compilation LP (available here: http://ya-cant-go-home.blogspot.com/2009/03/va-we-dont-want-your-fucking-law.html) which was also released on fightback in 1985. That song, rushing to Hide, is available here as a bonus on the 12" ep. The demo and the live shows all have unreleased tracks. Both live shows are very good audience recordings with the Electric Ballroom show being the better of the two.

Demo 1983:
01. It's No Crime
02. Pain
03. Pressure

Sanctuary ep  1985:
01. Sanctuary
02. It's No Crime

Johnny Moped - Roxy, London 4-02-77

This show was recorded as part of the legendary The Roxy, London WC2 compilation album at the place where the Punk Rock thing found a permanent home for a while which really helped to get things rolling. Track 18 here is the version that appears on that album and the in-between song banter heard on the album before the song can be heard in context within the second set. This was recorded through the soundboard and is great sound quality. Gotta wonder why this whole show has never been released before especially when a couple (Buzzcocks, X Ray Spex, Adverts (?))other recordings from the same show have been.

Eater - London 1977

From the halcyon days of 1977, Eater give us a nice set of classics including the rare songs Typewriter Babes, which only appeared on The Label So Far comp LP, and She's Wearing Green, which wasn't released until 1993 on the Compleat Eater CD on the Anagram label. This is a rough audience recording.

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Roxy, London 4-24-77

Here's an early Siouxsie & The Banshees show recorded at the famous Roxy Club in London. This show is a little special because its got Pete Fenton playing guitar along with Siouxsie and Steve Severin on bass and Kenny Morris on Drums, and the unreleased song Scrapheap is played. It's an audience recording so it is a bit raw but isn't that Punk. From cassette tape.

Setlist:
01. Captain Scarlet
02. Scrapheap
03. Psychic
04. 20th Century Boy
05. Bad Shape
06. Love In A Void

Johnny Moped - Roundhouse, London 2-02-78

Here's another Johnny Moped show. This one from early 1978 sees them playing 4 songs that were not a part of their album. Two songs are from the Slimey Toad solo single and the two others were not released at the time. This version of Musical Bore is played much faster, meaner and rawer that the one that's been released on The Bootleg Tapes CD a few years ago. This is a rough audience recording but worth the listen just for the 4 rare songs.

Tanz Der Youth - Music Machine + Peel Session 1978

Tanz Der Youth was the first post-Damned band Brian James formed. They didn't stick around very long - only long enough to release one single and record a Peel Session. Beside James, the band also consisted of Andy Colquhoun on Bass who was previously in Warsaw Pakt and Alan Powell on Drums who was once a member of Hawkwind. The sound is a bit different than the Damned but not really too far away to not give it a listen.

Slaughter & The Dogs - Marquee, London 12-10-79

Here's another live set by Slaughter & The Dogs recorded at the Marquee in London at the end of 1979. This one is from the same tour that brought us the Live At The Factory album with exactly the same setlist minus the Groucho Marx intro. It is an audience recording but is still very good quality.

setlist:
01. Now I Know
02. The Bitch
03. Hell In New York

Eye Protection - Single (1979)

Here's a single that doesn't seem to show up in blogland too often. It's a great single, and the only one, by this San Francisco band who played around for just a couple years. The a-side is a very energetic song and is the winner here. They play a new wave style with piano and horns but this song has the right amount of everything that makes it a great and fun song to listen to. The singer is Andy Prieboy who joined Wall Of Voodoo in 1983 and had a few hit songs with them.

Rubella Ballet - John Peel Session 1-26-83

Rubella Ballet recorded two Peel Sessions in 1982 and 1983. Here is the second one. The Peel Session page says they played 4 songs but I have these 5 songs and the unlisted songs are versions I've never heard anywhere else so maybe they are from the Peel Session.

Track List:
01. Love Life
02. Newz
03. Exit
04. Death Train
05. Trial 13

Clash - Cut The Crap live 1984-1985

After The Clash gave Mick Jones the boot they announced they were going to turn back and rediscover their Punk roots. With a new line up new songs were written and many shows were played. Eventually a new album was recorded and released. This album was called Cut The Crap and it turned out to be a big pile of crap. Many wondered what happened to their supposed return to their punk roots. Over the years I've collected live recordings from that period just to hear if the songs played live were as uninteresting as they were on the album. Surprisingly, the songs were actually good and did sound like the return to the roots as promised. For my own listening pleasure I put together live versions of all the songs from Cut The Crap that I could find onto one CD to get an idea of what that last album was supposed to sound like.  The quality of these recordings is very good audience recordings, so a little rough and raw. Well worth the listen I think.

Setlist:
01). Dictator
02). Dirty Punk
03). We Are The Clash
04). Are You Red...Y?
05). Cool Under Heat
06). Movers And Shakers
07). This Is England
08). Three Card Trick
09). North & South
10). Sex Mad Roar
11). Ammunition [bonus]

Ivy Green - Club LVC, Leiden Holland 1987

Ivy Green were one of the first Punk bands in the Netherlands and released one classic album in 1978 before disappearing. They returned in 1982 with a horn section and a slightly different sound that was much more influenced by the later Saints. This show captures them live 10 years after the original Punk explosion but still playing a few of their early songs. This is a good quality soundboard recording.

Slaughter & The Dogs - Huddersfield England 1980

Everyone probably knows the story about Slaughter & The Dogs by now. They recorded some classic singles and one album between 1977 and 1979. After losing original singer Wayne Barret they brought in Eddie Garrity (aka Ed Banger) formerly of The Nosebleeds to fill the vacancy and released another album and a couple singles, which I think are great. This show features Eddie Garrity singing along with Mick Rossi on guitar, Howard Bates on bass and Phil Rowland on drums. The set features many old classics along with a few songs that were new at the time and ended up on the second album.This is an audience recording and the quality is a bit rough but still listenable.

Cuddly Toys - Moonlight Club, London 3-31-80

Some Post-Punk maybe? The Cuddly Toys were formerly the Punk band The Raped who released two classic singles in 1978. This live set captures the band playing an energetic set of half covers and half originals including the songs from their first two singles. Covers of David Bowie/Marc Bolan, Move, Supremes, Brian Eno, Stooges and they end the set with the classic Raped song Normal.

Cortinas - Plymouth England 1977 + Peel Session 7-26-77

The Cortinas were the first Punk band from Bristol England starting in 1976. Over two years they released two classic Punk singles and one rather weak album that showed them taking a different direction. Until recently not many could no or imagine what their first album would have sounded like had they recorded all their Punk songs. But recently this live show surfaced to give us a taste of what could have been. The four songs from the singles are played plus two others they recorded for a Peel session and the other remain unreleased. Also included in this post is the Peel Session.

Controllers - The Scene Bar, Glendale CA 6-22-07

In 1978-1979 The Controllers released two singles and had 3 songs on a compilation for a total of 8 songs. Every song a masterpiece. Six of those songs are on this 2007 reunion show. Some of these songs were recorded for a CD by Kid Spike's Skull Control in the 1990s. Can't help but think this set would have even better with the inclusion of the songs Slow Boy, Another Day and Top Secret in place of White Trash Christ and Nuke Beach.

Hugh Cornwell - Harmonie, Bonn Germany 3-23-07

If you are like me, you are a fan of the Stranglers and have been for a long time. I've always wondered what stranglers songs would sound like without those keyboards. Hugh Cornwell was the singer/guitarist in the Stranglers from 1974-1990 after which he went on to a solo career. In the last few years he's been playing Stranglers songs in his live gigs. This show lets us hear some Stranglers songs without those keyboards and they sound great.

They released one single in 1984 and one song from the single was included on the RIOR cassette compilation release World Class Punk before disappearing. But, they did record some demos and someone was kind enough to post a video they made using one of those songs on Youtube. I took the sound off that video so I could listen to it endlessly without having to turn on the computer because it is a great song.

Naked - Feltham Football Club, Feltham England 7-29-83

Naked were my favorite band of all the ones that appeared on any of the Bullshit Detector compilation albums on Crass Records. Besides that one fantastic they also released an ep on Bluurg Records in 1983 and that was it. Some demos and lives shows were in circulation at that time that showe3d the band had many great song for a full album. Unfortunately, they never got as far as releasing another record. It was only in 2007 that a full length CD was released with the ep, comp track and unreleased demos. But, still there are plenty of other unreleased songs. Soundboard recording.

Mollesters - Het, Den Haag 1978

The Mollesters were from Den Haag Netherlands and released one classic KBD single in 1978 before disappearing. Luckily someone recorded one of their gigs for posterity. A web search doesn't bring up very much information for the band but I did find a blog post that mentioned these unreleased song titles: tarantula, sexless, paranoia, stupid cop, germs. If anyone wants to have a go at matching song titles to songs please do and let me know what you got. I tried to but wasn't able to match anything. The recording is from the audience and is a  bit rough in quality but certainly listenable. Single and song titles comment here: http://www.kbdrecords.com/2006/11/13/molesters-plastic-7/

V.A. Northern Exposure (Just The Songs)

For those of you who loved both volumes of Bloodstains Across Northern Ireland, here is a special treat. A few years ago I got in trade a three CD-R set called Northern Exposure that had live, demos and interviews with some of the bands from Northern Ireland of the late1970s. There were many great unreleased songs on it and for my own listening pleasure I transferred all the songs onto one CD-R so I could have a steady, dynamite listening hour. A few of these tracks are from the film Shellshock Rock, others are unreleased demos and some live recordings of various qualities. More info here: http://irishrock.org/comps/nx1.html

Jimmy Norton's Explosion - John Peel Session 7-30-79

Today's post is another officially unreleased Peel session. This time from a sort of Punk Rock supergroup. The band featured Glen Matlock (Bass, Lead Vocals) fresh out of the Rich Kids and formerly of The Sex Pistols, Danny Kustow (Guitar, Backing Vocals) from Tom Robinson Band and Budgie (Drums) from Siouxsie & The Banshees and formerly of Spitfire Boys and Slits. Of these four songs Ambition and Just Like Lazarus were recorded by The Rich Kids in 1978 but remained unreleased until 1998 when they were released on the Burning Sounds CD, Ambition was also recorded by Iggy Pop when Glen played with him. This band changed their name in 1980 to Spectres and released two single, the first one featured a weaker version of Getting Away With Murder. The fourth song remains unreleased in any version.
