Joneses - T-Bird Rollerdrome, Pico Rivera CA 3-04-83

Here's an abbreviated live set by another classic KBD band recorded at the fabled T-Bird Rollardrome in Pico Rivera California. It's only 7 songs but you get the necessary classics plus their Elton John cover a Heartbreakers cover as well. The false start on Fix Me is due to stage invasion and electrical problems. This show is from the soundboard and sounds like a fantastic gig, shame we all couldn't have been there.

Setlist: [from cassette tape]
01. Criminal
02. Pill Box
03. Chicks And Politics
04. I Wanna Be Loved [Heartbreakers]
05. Fix Me (false start)
06. Fix Me
07. Graveyard Rock
08. Crocodile Rock [Elton John]

Pilsner - Single (1983) (w/Jerry Nolan)

Perhaps everyone know Jerry Nolan as the drummer for the New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers, two legendary bands. But after those bands became extinct what happened to him. Apparently for most of the 1980s he and Thunders were living in Sweden. While there he got involved with a little known band named Pilsner and released this single. Mr. Nolan not only produced it but also sings on both songs and by the sound of it must have been involved in writing the lyrics and maybe the music. The style is definitely 1970s New York with plenty of street attitude. Wouldn't it be sweet to see this re-released with any bonus tracks that might exist.

01. I Refuse (To Live In The USA)
02. Sleep With You

Electrochoc - Bordeaux France 1-30-79 + single 1978

Direct from Bordeaux  France, Electrochoc. They released my favorite French Punk single in 1978 and disappeared not long after. Luckily someone taped this live show so that the rest of what they created can be heard even if it is only a good listenable audience recording. Twelve songs including the two from the single and a cover of Roll Over Beethoven are accounted for. Does anyone have a clue as to the titles of the other songs? It's a tragedy they never released an album because it would have been a classic of the era. This one I got in a trade years ago from here: http://www.soybomb.com/KilledByHype/punk_france.html

For additional listening pleasure the single is included.

Cheetah Chrome & The Casualties - RT Firefly, NYC 3-05-82

So, what did Cheetah Chrome do after the Dead Boys split up in 1979 besides take lots of drugs and release one single? Well, he had a band called The Casualties and they did play shows once in a while. No records were ever issued, but here is a live recording from one night in New York City in 1982 which proves they really did exist. The setlist consists of only three songs from the Dead Boys days and shows that Cheetah was still writing new songs with no less than six being played here, plus the two classic songs from his 1979 single. It's a very interesting set and makes one wish that an album had been released. This is an audience recording and is from cassette. The sound quality is rough but listenable. My favorite song is track 8. Don't forget to read Cheetah's new book.

Setlist:
01. Calling On You (1st set)
02. No Credit
03. Used To Be Fun
04. Staring In The Night
05. Ain't It Fun
06. Federal Case
07. The Boys Are All Here
08. Goodbye
09. Sonic Reducer
10. Still Wanna Die
11. Take Me Home (2nd set)

Johnny Moped - Tramshed, Woolwich England 1981

Who doesn't love Johnny Moped? Here's a great reunion show from 1981 that features the band running through a setlist of classics from 1977-1978 plus playing Loony from the Slimy Toad single and a final encore of the song Hiawatha which only ended up being released in the 1990s on the basically terrible Search For Xerxes album. The recording quality sounds like it is from the soundboard.

Setlist:
01. No One
02. VD Boiler
03. Panic Button
04. Wee Wee
05. Groovy Ruby
06. Make Trouble
07. Hell Razor
08. Looney
