Rolling Stone magazine; Issue 153; January 31, 1973

Here is another issue of Rolling Stone magazine. There isn't much I think would be of interest to Punk Rockers except a Iggy & The Stooges gig review but I scanned a few things I thought might interest some people.

In this issue:
-Death of Bobby Darin article
-Death of Tex Ritter article
-Brownsville Station article
-Alice Cooper article
-Iggy & The Stooges NYC 12-31-73 gig review

Damneddeadsham band - Claredon Hotel, London 10-06-81

What do Dead Boys, Damned and Sham 69 have in common besides being Punk bands? A member from each of those bands got together in 1981 and formed Lords Of The New Church. However, while they were in there embryonic phase they played this gig as the Damneddeadsham band playing songs from each of their former bands plus a few cover. It's recorded from the audience and is a rough recording but I don't think you'll hear Brian James play Sonic Reducer or Stiv Bators sing Borstal Breakout anywhere else.

setlist:
01. intro
02. Sonic Reducer [Dead Boys]
03. Borstal Breakout [Sham 69]

Crabs - Vortex, Peel, singles 1978-1979

In 1979-1980 I bought the album Farewell To The Roxy and listened to it endlessly. I thought every song on it was great but my favorite one was the Crabs Lullabies Lie. In those years it was nearly impossible to find out any info on those smaller bands that seemed to only release one song on some comp LP or maybe a single before disappearing into obscurity. As far as I knew the Crabs never released anything else. At about the same time period I bought the Fulham Furies single. I thought it wan an okay Punk single but nothing outstanding. I never knew until the 1990s that this band was in fact the Crabs. Sometime in the last 10 years the Vortex show and Peel Session began to make the rounds of the trade circles and it was quite a joy to get a hold of these  in order to finally be able to hear more music by The Crabs. Also, some websites finally started to write about and supply loads of information of the Crabs history. In 1978 they signed to Lightning Records and were supposed to release an ep with the songs Victim, Blue Unction and Save My Skin. No record has ever surfaced so it is believed that it was never released. The band split up in July 1978 and the lead guitarist Ronnie "Rocker" Newson and drummer Ricci Titcombe joined Zorro. Zorro was considered a part of the emerging New Wave Of British Heavy Metal scene and released one ep in 1979. Two of the songs on the ep sound more in league with The Crabs than any Heavy Metal sound. On the Vortex gig The Crabs played with Sham 69, Jerks and Mirrors. The Jerks recording from this show is officially released on their We Hate You CD and there is a tape of the Sham 69 set floating around.

Sadistic Exploits 'zine (Philadelphia)

Here's two issues of the one sheet 'zine that the band Sadistic Exploits used to give out at gigs. Both issues are from 1984.

Issue #7  has band statements, lyrics and artwork
Issue  #8 has band statements, lyrics, art, letters and quotes

Alternative 'zine #4 1981 (Philadelphia)

Here is issue #4 of the Alternative fanzine from Philadelphia. Even though it says December 1984 on the cover this issue is actually from December 1981. This zine was put together by members of the bands Decontrol and Autistic Behavior plus a couple friends. In this issue are articles on Sadistic Exploits, Decontrol, the 1981 Philly Punk Fests, scene news and reviews. 6 Pages.

Sham 69 - Live shows 1979 + 1980

In 1979, after much visa problems, Sham 69 finally played two shows in the USA, one in New York and the other in Los Angeles.  Here is the New York show as recorded from the audience by the legendary Donnie The Punk. It's rough on quality and the right channel drops out half way through but it sounds like it was a great gig and well anticipated. The Stockholm show is from a Swedish Radio broadcast that was recorded not too long before the split up and is great quality.

Killjoys - Raw session, Rehearsal, Peel Sessions 1977-1978

The Killjoys were from Birmingham England and in 1977 released a classic Punk single on Raw Records. Only one other song was officially released before they split up in mid-1978. They existed for a little over a year. In that time they also managed to record two John Peel Sessions. The Raw Records session here is the one the single came from but I think these are different mixes and there is talking between songs by the engineer and the band. The rehearsal tape gives us a few extra songs that haven't been heard much before.

Stranglers - Demos + Live 1974-1978

By request here are some Stranglers demos, and I've topped the post off with an early 1977 live show. Three songs - Wasted, Strange Little Girl, My Young Dreams (different recording than what's here) from the 1974 demo have been officially released on the The Early Years 74-75-76 Rare Live & Unreleased CD so I didn't include them here. Hans Wärmling also plays guitar on these songs. The quality of all the demos is very good. The live show was recorded from the audience and is a bit raw but listenable.

Avengers - Live shows pt.4 - 1979

At the end of 1978 original Avengers guitarist left and was replaced by Brad Kent from Vancouver Canada who had been a past member of D.O.A. and a couple other bands.  On all these shows they are playing new songs co-written with Brad Kent. On the Geary Temple show the play the rare song Lonely Girl plus a Velvet Underground cover. The Geary and Mab shows are both audience recordings so the quality is a little rough but still listenable. The Old Waldorf show is a radio broadcast and tracks 3 to 11 have been officially released on the The American In Me CD so you should buy it for the superior sound quality. The sound quality here is good.

Avengers - Live shows pt.3 - 1978 (continued)

Here's three more Avengers shows from 1978. I only have these two songs from this Mab show and have never been able to track down the complete show. The Whiskey show is a little special because it has the rare songs Night Ride and Flames Of Evil plus an Eddie Cochran cover and also an extended jam on I Want In. The song Flames of Evil is the same music as the song on the Died For Your Sins CD titled Something's Wrong but with different lyrics. The Aito's show is also special because of some rare songs. On October 23, 1978 The Avengers were in the studio recording 4 songs with former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones. Out of that collaboration The Avengers added two Steve Jones songs to their set - Second To None (recorded by The Professionals as 1,2,3) and Lonely Girl (recorded by Steve Jones and Paul Cook as Lonely Boy for The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle soundtrack). And, there is also the mystery track Promised Land. All three shows were recorded from the audience but the sound is good on all of them.

Avengers - Live shows pt.2 - 1978

 Four live Avengers shows here from the first half of 1978. All songs here have seen the light of day on various records and CDs apart from the cover of The Who's Substitute and a mystery song called Run. At the Winterland show they opened for The Sex Pistols and is a radio broadcast. The other three shows are audience recordings and are all good quality. The date or the venue on the fourth show is incorrect as it doesn't match with the Avengers gigography: http://www.penelope.net/avshows.html
But I'll list it as I received it.

Bags - Live Shows 1978-1979

The Bags from Los Angeles were around from 1977 to 1981 and in that time only released a single in 1978 on Dangerhouse Records and had one song on a Dangerhouse compilation LP besides making an appearance in the film The Decline Of Western Civilization in 1980. Until the All Bagged Up album was released in 2007 all the bags we had to listen to, besides the single, was just a couple of live tapes that made the rounds. The Masque show is the only complete set ever in circulation and it was recorded from the audience so the quality is rough but listenable especially for the unreleased songs. The Hong Kong Cafe show is much better in quality and a good listen but still recorded from the audience. The Troubadour show is off of a video and is rough also but still fun to listen to.

Blondie - Old Waldorf, San Francisco 9-21-77

Curvettes - Demo (2003)

Here's a relatively recent band who were from New York City. Musically they fit in with Devil Dogs and New Bomb Turks. I have no info on them and only know of them because a friend who auditioned for them after the drummer on this demo left was given this demo to listen to. Doesn't seem they ever settled on a new drummer and ultimately disappeared from the face of the earth leaving only this demo behind. It's a great one though.

track list:
01. You're a Drag
02. Revenge Fantasies
03. Girls On Drugs
04. Barbie Don't Have Bruises
05. Futurama
06. Seizure On Christmas
07. Trauma Center

Misanthropic Charity - De Space, Rotterdam Holland 5-20-89

Misanthropic Charity were from Copenhagen Denmark and existed from 1985 until 1989. The band featured Bibbi on vocals and Michael on drums who both had previously been members of Electric Deads. Anders, formerly of Enola Gay, was on guitar and Lars played the bass. In 1986 they recorded and released their one and only LP. After the LP was released Michael left the band and was replaced by Ant (aka Juris) who was the mastermind behind and singer of President Fetch. In 1988 they recorded two new songs which were released on a compilation LP in France (I forget the name of it). In May 1989 they did a tour of Holland with another Danish band, Happy Harriet & The Fallen Men. This live show was recorded during that tour. Most of the songs here were new at the time and because they broke up after this tour they were never recorded in the studio. This is a soundboard recording so the quality is very good.

setlist:
01. The Price
02. Waking Up
03. New Day
04. Happy Life
05. My Flag
06. Hard To Find
07. What Do You Know
08. At The CJ

D.O.A. - Live in 1980

Here's D.O.A. live in 1980 from two different shows. The Toronto show is a soundboard recording and is good quality. The White Noise Tour ep is from a bootleg 7" but I don't know where it was recorded. It sounds like it could be a soundboard recording as well. The interesting thing about both these shows is the unreleased song What'cha Doin' (a.k.a. Chuck's New One) and the rare live version of the rare song Suiciding.
