Remembering Jeff Conolly of the Lyres RIP Photo: Blowfish

The outpouring for the passing of Jeff Conolly by fans and fellow musicians has been overwhelming and well deserved!

Social media has been flooded. Everyone just wants to log in and show their fandom for Jeff and Lyres/DMZ and express their loss. So many personal stories have been shared.

This week on radio Skybar did a five song Lyres set on his 8/4 Rising show. Al Quint started his 8/3 Sonic Overload show with a five song set of Lyres and DMZ in memory of Jeff. Alex Piandes had a seven songs from Lyres/DMZ on his Desperate Hours show on WMFO on Thursday.

On Joanie Lindstrom's 8/6 Late Risers Club she dedicated the last hour to Jeff Conolly. She interspersed Lyres/DMZ with some groups that influenced Jeff (13th Floor Elevators/Sonics/The Pretty Things). Joanie put more emphasis on DMZ than others. We didn't think of it but of course DMZ was earlier and shorter lived than Lyres and less people heard them live. Joanie did the most complete job presenting Jeff's music, so it you have to listen to one show, this is it. To hear Joanie's Late Risers Show go to the WMBR archive page . Hit the LRC show for 8/6.

Lyres' "Help Me Ann" played in memory of Jeff triggered twenty five minutes of Boston rock on the Radio Warfare podcast by Tim Livingstone. We have that reviewed and embedded in the Podcast section below.

Longtime local music critic Jim Sullivan posted his thoughts on his WBUR post.

From the earliest days of listening to DMZ and later the Lyres we knew there were cover songs in the set but we had no idea of what was a cover or an original. That was because the covers were so obscure, for the most part, and the other thing was that Jeff never would inform the audience. It was actually part of the Lyres experience as it turned out.

We are so glad to now have a Spotify list created by (Decibel) Dennis MacDonald of all the songs Jeff covered. It looks complete to us, but heck, who knows. We have the Spotify list embedded below. Listen and discover.

On last Friday there was a new/old Lyres song posted on Bandcamp. It's titled "Used To It" and it was recorded in 2015 but just posted for people to hear. This is probably the front end of a lot of other recorded songs seeing the light of day.

Jeff's recordings are precious to us now, just like those obscure garage finds were precious to him, but the loss will always be a pain in the heart. No recording came replace a person and in Jeff's case we will never be able to get that Lyres experience live again.

Everyone has their favorite live Lyres show. We saw so many but one sticks out. It was not in the early days, it was May of 2017 when Lyres played Once in Somerville. They played for 90 minutes. Jeff played the hits and some choice covers.

There were times when it seemed, as he conferred with the group members, that he was searching for every song the group could play. He didn't want to stop. In the write up we talk about what seemed so true - that the group that played "We Sell Soul" was actually doing that, reaffirming life and filling your soul. That's what Jeff could do.

Remember we have 36 entries in Rick Coraccio's Personal Journal which documents some of his time playing with Lyres. Rick Coraccio's Personal Journal.

And finally...you can purchase a wicked cool Lyres t-shirt and Lyres music on Spotify here.

Congrats to the Fleshtones who just had their 50th Anniversary. They celebrated with a show in the Bowery, NYC on 8/7. They played "How Do You Know" as a tribute to Jeff.

Paste magazine has a new feature called Moshpit that has over 40,000 concerts and interviews available for listening. They go back to the 1950s up to as new as a week ago. They say they include the "live performance catalogs of Bill Graham, King Biscuit, Silver Eagle Cross Country, Metropolitan, The Record Plant, Starfleet, Dawson Sound, Hewitt, and the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals."
The article with info is here.
The Moshpit page is here.
It's a nice easy interface. On first look through we didn't see a lot of punk. Just a few Sex Pistol shows, no Damned shows, and five Clash shows, one being the Orpheum show in Boston from 1982.

WRPS 88.3FM, in Rockland is having their third WRPS-tival on August 22 at 7pm. Acts are Screw Cart, The Wynotts and Frankie Sinn & the Confessions. DJ Rocco will be the emcee. This is happening at the Players Sports Bar & Club in Rockland where the Dogmatics did a show a few weeks ago. The Facebook event page.

We have the latest chapter in Joanie Lindstrom’s travel diary. This time it’s France, Basque Country and the forgotten country of Andorra. She might have been a long way from Boston but she got to see Muck and the Mires in Bilbao (that’s Basque Country).
There were many cocktails and the local foods like duck brochette, pig's ears and Basque Burnt Cheesecake.
Joanie’s France, Basque Country and Andorra Vacation.

PODCASTS......

Blowing Smoke with Twisted Rico's Steev Riccardo took on a story that he had a hand in. It was the story behind the 1985 album Whole New World by The Outlets. The album came out on Restless/Enigma when Steev was working there.

He has some funny stories and will tell you how Gang Green gets involved with The Outlets bid for stardom. The record ended up only selling in Boston. Steev revels that later he and Dave Barton ended up in the movie Hard Promises staring Sissy Spacek. They play members of a wedding band that plays a Dave Barton song. This was an interesting insight into the machinations of the record industry and what bands go through.
Steev also shares a few thoughts on Jennifer Finch RIP of L5 who he met a few times.

On Al Quint's latest Sonic Overload he began with five songs from Sick of It All in memory of Lou Koller who recently died. Some details on Revolver magazine. Al played "Revenge" by local band Feeble Minds. That came out in December of 2025 as a Demo. It's six raging and raw songs. Five are a minute long and one epic is 2:27. We have it below.

Another new Boston group played was Execution Style. Their album is Hell at Capacity. Quint played "Terraform" which was very uncompromising. Other lullabies are "The Valley of Constant Torture", "Shaman of Pain" and the title song "Hell at Capacity" We have the album below. The first cut is "Terraform".

Another song that really got to us is half local and then also reminded us of a another local group. Sweeping Promises are originally from Boston/Cambridge but are now in Kansas. Their new album is You Say I Romanticize out August 14 on SubPop. The track on Sonic Overload was "Accent". Even though it goes for four minutes it keeps the same short bass line and it's very up front.

That reminds us of the Rentals/Jeff and Jane Hudson…a lot. We think this cut is a post punk classic. We have the song embed below. They will be at Deep Cuts on Nov 6.

That's just a few of the things we spotted. You can hear all the Sonic Overload past shows on the web blog. . Al has logged all the shows since 2009.

On the 7/25 Punks in the Garage (from WAIF in Cincinnati) podcast they played two sets of songs from early Philadelphia punk. Informed Sources, The Warm Jets, The Proteens, Pure Hell, Sick Kidz, The Reds and Ben Wah Torpedoes. We were big on "We Wanna Start A War" by The Warm Jets and we could imagine Lou Miami singing the Sic Kidz "Dog Food". It was a chance to hear what was going on in Philly while we were doing our thing in Boston. There's all fine punk and garage in the rest of the show.

The podcast also has a audience participation survey. They are asking: "Our August 29 show theme is if you could go back in time what music-related event or scene would you want to be at?" Answer on their Mixcloud page here.

On the Elastic Glam Show on 7/31. Sethyspice played locals Torch Red, The Amplifier Heads and Smitt E. Smitty and the Fezztones. Sethyspice makes everything work in the mix. Like Torch Red whose "Deaf Minds" sounded super after the new glam of Sir Prize and the Tomorrow Knightz.

Torch Red opened for The Hollywood Stars (on Rum Bar) at The Square Root and Sethyspice was there. He played three in a row from the Stars ending with our fave "I Survived 27".

Throwback hits were Sweet ("Little Willly"), Mott the Hoople and Mud. New music included "Ride or Die" by Boys in the Back from Australia. It's glam verging on metal. Some guitar shredding in this too.

The Radio Warfare podcast with Tim Livingston started with Lyres' "Help You Ann". That led to seven more songs from Boston. It was: The Remains, The Modern Lovers, Willie Alexander and the Boom Boom Band, Mission of Burma, The Neighborhoods, The Del Fuegos and ending with DMZ's "Mighty Idy". That's twenty five minutes on Boston. Tim had interactions with Jeff and talks a while about that. He saw Jeff's worship of The Remains close up.
Everywhere we look, like here, we see Jeff's influence and acknowledgement of his genius.

On the 8/1 Trash Flow Radio podcast, from WAIF Cincinnati, started with a Lyres song in memory of Jeff Conolly. The DJ Ken Katkin talks about Jeff and his stature in the garage movement. Later it was a five song set of Jeff's music. It was mostly obvious things but Katkin promises to dig deeper on next week's show. This is a link to the set list . This show motif is to mark birthdays and passings. There was a three song set for birthday boy Chris Brokaw.

NEW MUSIC/CD's ......

Nothing is simple with Sapling. They claim that there new song "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service" is just a song "about being sick of dealing with your own shit". The lyrics back that up but there's a bit more there.

There are some lyrics in Spanish where they mention 'bachata' which is a style of music from the Dominican Republic. That would explain the way the song sounds. It's very stylized and jazzy and we are guessing they are playing bachata. There's a list of six horn players who sound accomplished. The arrangement takes full advantage of that. You could say it fits in a sort of post punk category too. It's all funny and off kilter.

All Bandcamp profits go to New England Justice For Our Neighbors which provides free, expert legal aid to Massachusetts immigrants seeking humanitarian-based visas.

You never know what The Spackles are going to come up with. What odd piece of cultural flotsam and jetsam are they going to mine for their subject? This time the joke is on us again as they paint a picture of domestic happiness, although that is pictured metaphorically as a "bag of bees".

"Bag of Bees" is a warm, good feeling song. It all comes from the vocals. This continues the streak of the band cranking it up a notch with some loud chords. You catch that in the intro right off. The twin guitar tracking is cool and the drums are busy and attention getting. The Spackles play the Midway on August 30 with the Wynotts, The New Frustrations and Thee Associates. We have it on our Top Ten Songs.

You looking for the hard stuff? Can I interest you in Osis? They list a long line of hard rock genres in their self-descriptions and we think they are correct on that, but we don't know what "power goth" would sound like.

Local band Osis has only been together around a year. They had an eight song EP in August last year and now another of the same titled simply Osis II. They specialize in two minute packs of hardcore/punk. The group sound demands your attention.

They play fast and always with a gripping tension. The vocals match the band's intensity. In "Opus" it's like a competition between the vocals and the drums for your ears. We love the dynamics of that. There's a lot going on in this song.
We love the guitar solo in "Gauntlet", the guitar tone in general, the unusual rhythm in "Peace Song" and the stop and go action in "TV Rainbow". Every time we play this album through we find more things we like. Osis is a fine new group.

It's been a while since we've had one of those Rum Bar Records Samplers - watch out here comes one now! The title of this 33 song baby is Summer School Sampler: Second Semester.

It starts with Cindy Lawson's "The Reckoning" the title song from her upcoming album. Cindy is kicking it out loud here, loud and raw. Next are the Trash Kickers from Chicago. It's hard rocking and has a nice feel to it. They are a new addition to Rum Bar and their release hasn't happened yet. Based on this, yes we want to hear more.

Artists we haven't heard yet are Lorne Berman from NYC, and Electric Johnson from Brooklyn and Lester Greenowski from Italy all with albums coming we assume.
Then there are the songs from releases that we know but if you don't this is the chance to catch up on why Rum Bar Records is so well thought of. We suggest the new Torch Red song "Deaf Minds", The Glimmer Stars "Maybe", Ape Hangers "I Don't Mind", The Dogmatics "Ball Me Out", Slamdinistas "Weather the Storm", Gene Champagne "She's An Atom Bomb", Chelsea Curve "I Can't Help It" and Stop Calling Me Frank "Help Me Up"

Smitt E Smitty (and the Fezztones) get clever and invents a whole new phenomenon with "Motor City Yankee". He's part Detroit, part Boston - he's two things in one. "Live here now, lived there then/traded 8 mine for Mass Ave", he declares. As different as the cities are Smitty realizes he contains both now. The music cranks up Detroit style though!

Here's a song that's not new. Drummer Richie Johnson (who plays on this) just posted this on his Facebook page. "In the Alley" is the first cut off the Rick Coraccio Anthology that came out in 2021. There's 24 cuts on this baby. Rick played with DMZ/Lyres. Dan McCormack is on guitar and The Quirk is on bass.

This blast of Boston garage shows you what these guys are responsible for though the years. They embody Boston garage. The organ work is reminiscent of Rick's former band leader Jeff Conolly (RIP). The sound of this is brings forth memories of so many other songs we love and nights out listening to bands, we just had to pass it on here. The other 23 songs do the same thing.

It's been a while since Brian Young's show Crash Course for the Ravers went off the air at WMFO. Evidently he's been busy with his group the Thigh Scrapers because he has posted a "deluxe edition" of their self-titled album. That means five new songs.

There's some added production on these songs that are not on the original album. The bed of the recordings are full with keyboards and synths (maybe) that bolster the group sound. "That's How He Rolls" has a goth sound which is outside of the their regular hard rock style. Brian will be glad to know that "Latex Heart" has a lot of Johnny Thunders footprints on it, Thunders is his hero. We are posting "Latex Heart" below. To listen to all the tracks go to the Thigh Scrapers Spotify page.

Today Junior have their second teaser single, “Werewolves of Boston”, from a new album due out in September. They don't go for campy on this. They do have one howl, but tastefully restrained for the rest of the song. They depict the last night club prowlers as werewolves and something to be aware of.

As long time listeners to the group we love how they bring their group sound to a subject like this. Like the single's cover photo outside on Harvard Ave near the Blanchard's sign and Allston mention in the first line this song has the local, nightlife atmosphere.

We featured a song/video of the Professor and the Madman's new album Dreamworld back in May. Now the whole album is released. The band declares their intention clearly in "12 Strings and Tambourines" with the lyrics, "We don't make no pretense/We're pledging our allegiance/To the ones that used/The 12 strings and tambourines." This is not just a psych album but a well done salute to an era that is more than a step above the usual right down to the redo on the Revolver album cover.

"Dreamworld" (title track) starts with some staccato piano chords a la Queen's "Killer Queen". That's the first of many musical parallels we hear in this album. Later they vocals scat on "ba ba ba ba" for a whole verse which is another period move. The recording and mixing on the album is half the beauty. The instruments are wonderfully separated. It's a treat to hear the 12 string in its space on the left as a cymbal tings in the opposite speaker. They put the vocals in different spots and move them around. In two songs the end with a four part vocals making a chord. They create it one voice at a time marking them left, right and center in the mix.

And vocals are a big part of this. Many groups recreate the instrumental part of psych but Madman make sure the vocals shine. "Brand New World" brings Sgt. Peppers earmarks to the fore There trippy lyrics like, "polka dot trees, and blue tangerines". The beginning of "Mental Tape" shuffles along like a French romantic movie soundtrack. It soon bumps up and focuses. Then it inserts a neat guitar solo and pop melody. It gets dreamy again at the end.
"The Light" gives us a Beach Boys vibe. There's a half a minute of wonderful vocal work at the end of the cut. There are so many musical echoes that we hear through the record. One of those is the intro to "Adams Street" where it sounds like the intro to "And Your Bird Can Sing" by the Beatles. The song is about childhood and childhood fantasies.

The band rocks it up more than the rest of the album on "Nuclear Boy". Here and elsewhere, they remind us of XTC, especially in the vocals. Some neat drumming in this song too. On "Songs In My Head" they get slow and reflective. It is a Sunshine Psych take on the miracle of a muse. When the creative juices are flowing it must seem like a slow miracle and they try to capture that here.

They temper the quiet "Songs In My Head" with the dark "Temple of Madness" where things get unhinged. The music gets hard. After talk of "Falling down the staircase of madness" there's a dramatic musical shift as the rhythm slips into a bolero, actually Ravel's bolero. It is a very memorable moment when that kicks in. After that the music loses its mooring and confusion rules. It's a little mini opera in its way.

We have the latest chapter in the continuing Split Single saga that Rob Moss started. There's always something interesting about these and this is no exception.
This time Rob Moss and Skin-Tight Skin recorded The James Clark Institute's (from Canada) "Bettie Page Rides a Donkey", a song from 2008. While The James Clark Institute records Rob Moss and the Skin Tight Skin's "Donkey" from their Now With More Rockets album from 2022. Who got the idea of switching off on 'donkey' songs, one wonders?

On James Clark's side they changed the lyrics to make it jibe with their own donkey song. They also put in the element of being a junkie into the song which gives it an edge of interest over the original. The James Clark Institute has a plentiful amount of releases to check out on Bandcamp. The original "Bettie Page Rides a Donkey" is a pop song and has a relaxed laid back feeling. Rob Moss cranks it up and puts a strong drive into the song from the get go and makes it a neat rocker.

The Lemon Drop Gang which is Rum Bar Records band from Tucson, AZ has a short EP out. There are two versions of "Wreckless Eyeballs" which is trucker tale done in appropriate cow punk style. One version has the vocals replaced with pedal steel guitar, which is nicely done.

We favor the third tune "Comin' To Get Him" which plays out in a shambolic lo-fi garage way. It's so fuzzed up, it sound like fuzz on fuzz tracking at spots. Oh ya, this is the stuff we like.

We enjoyed and posted two of Toronto's Doghouse Rose's videos/songs. Those songs "Born To Break Even" and "It's Gets Worse" were the leading single off the album Born To Break Even that just got released in full.

This band has a vibrant rocking sound and make sure every song shows it. It's very much skate punk style. We like that the singing is clear and you can catch the words. We liked the song "The Thing We Started" which is about nothing less than the end of rock and roll. They suggest there will be a rebirth but they lay it on the line. We found that frank and interesting. "The Boys" is an engaging profile of a woman who loves life to the full and is her own person. "I'm not one of the boys" she boasts.

"Dumpsville" has a retro chord progression going on as it talks about being dumped in a relationship. We were captivated by that. This group is smart on top of rocking, and writing good songs.

The Krayolas from San Antonio, TX have been played regularly on Little Steven's Underground Garage. They play a poppy garage rock that often brings the sixties back big time. Their latest album is titled Outlaw Garage Hits! It collects a year's worth of singles they have released (fourteen in all).

They do the Beach Boys thing on "Surf's Down" and make it sound easy. They cover Lesley Gore's "Maybe I Know" and it sounds like Shindig! is on the TV. Several songs have Augie Meyers (from the Sir Douglas Quintet) on them and makes you pine for Augie (RIP 3/26). There the band is doing the Tex Mex thing which was born in San Antonio.
We zeroed in on "Matter of Time". If you didn't know you would swear it was a sixties nugget by a well-known garage unit.

There's so much here: the fuzz solos, the 12 strings ringing, Augie Meyers organ, the songwriting which seems to just flow from them. We have "Matter of Time" on our Top Ten Songs.
