David Thomas RIP - at the Brighton Music Hall Photo:Miss Lyn

Dave Thomas of Pere Ubu died this week, after a long illness, at his home in England. He was 71. People magazine says he was listening to the MC5 when he passed. David was part of a group of musicians we lionize; those that started punk.

Rocket From the Tombs was punk in 1975. There were no signposts then. It was pure creativity and the guts to perform it onstage. The first Pere Ubu single ("30 Seconds Over Tokyo") came out in 1975, the second ("Final Solution") in 1976. To imagine hearing that music then is amazing!

At that point just getting these records was a thing. No record store had them. We found them from ads in magazines like Bomp and Trouser Press. The copy we have has a handwritten note from Miriam Linna (The Cramps, Zantees, Norton Records) saying these were the very last copies of the original run. She signs off as "Prez of Pere Ubu Fan Club."

The work that came up over and over this week was the album Modern Dance from 1978. Thomas even had a glorious Boston moment. He produced The Girls single "Jeffrey I Hear You", a song that was one of a kind then ... and still is today.

Miss Lyn and Ken Highland saw Pere Ubu in 1978 at the Psychedeli in Bethesda MD. They were on tour with the Suicide Commandos through their record label Blank Records. Watching and listening to the band back then was awe inspiring. Thomas wasn't like any other punk performer. He was big and stood on the stage barely moving. Miss Lyn remembers how during the song "Sentimental Journey" Thomas was banging two wooden blocks together, repeating the words "Table ... chair" NO ONE did that back then. It was a different experience for us at that time!

Miss Lyn also caught Thomas doing a solo show at The Magic Room in 2010 and wrote: "Dave certainly has remained true to himself and continues to be strange, funny and cerebral....but he also seemed sad and possibly ill. But he has some strange and interesting sounds and songs going on." He was wearing a red vinyl apron on stage and used an old phone instead of a microphone. It was a very unusual show.

In 2015 Thomas brought a lineup of Rocket From the Tombs to the Brighton Music Hall. And in 2016 Thomas was at the Sinclair with Pere Ubu. He was also at Hassel Fest #9 in 2017. That was with Pere Ubu again, they played their new album 20 Years in a Montana Missile Silo at the time.

With Pere Ubu and Rocket From the Crypt, David Thomas was a extremely important figure in shaping music in the late 70's and beyond!

On May 10 the Midway is having a CD release party for Louder Than Milk. It also got our attention because playing on the bill is Men & Volts. They don't do many shows these days. The Facebook event page

The Rat gets a lot of praise, and rightfully so. At the same time we shouldn't forget those small clubs that keep on going. We're thinking of the Midway and O'Brien's. We've spent a lot of time at those clubs.

This year O'Brien's is celebrating their 40th year with some anniversary shows and have unveiled a tee shirt to memorialize the occasion. They plucked out a line from a Google review, "I kinda like going to O'Brien's Pub" to print on the shirt. Such modesty! You can get the shirt on their website.

The Boston Calling festival has announced the 2025 line up. There are a few local acts. Rebuilder is playing on Saturday May 24. Find more on the Boston Calling website.

Porter Square club Toad is open again. It was bought by Tommy McCarthy and Louise Costello, the owners of the Burren. There was a line down the block on opening day. The Boston Globe has the story if you can get by the paywall.

Andy Paley of the Paley Brothers died last year in November. There was a memorial show for Andy in LA recently and of course there were some Bostonians there. We got a photo from long time legendary Boston scenester Helanie Saad. (Here's our interview with Helanie from 20 years ago!) It's a photo of Helanie with Barry Marshal and Jonathan Richman. Barry has two videos of Jonathan performing at the memorial on his Facebook page. Here's Jonathan's short tribute.

In November of last year Harvard University hosted Boston Punk Rewound/Making a Scene show that spotlighted some of Arthur Freedman's video/audio collection. Now Harvard is organizing, assessing and analyzing the material and in conjunction the Loab Center they have created a Spotify playlist that lines up the studio recordings of the groups that Freedman recorded. What a collection!!

Not since the Mass Ave collection have there been so many Boston classics bumped up against each other. It starts with DMZ's "Boys From Nowhere". There's Nervous Eaters - "On the Avenue", Neighborhoods - "Prettiest Girl", Dogmatics, Real Kids, Atlantics, MOB, The Titantics, Classic Ruins, Willie Loco and the Boom Boom Band, LePeste, SS Decontrol, Lizzie Borden and the Axes….it goes on. Hear it below.

We're used to the LP's with colored vinyl, now Miller Beer has a LP filled with beer. As in actual beer sloshing around, sealed inside the clear vinyl. There is some generic rock in the grooves. No band names are given. The Loudwire website has the story. They go on to spotlight other unusual pressings. Alice in Chains for their EP Jar of Flies has actual flies in the vinyl. The group Sleep has marijuana in their Dopesmoker album. Fall Out Boy has actual tears in their Tears special pressing. It goes on, there has been urine, blood, hair and even diarrhea.

VIDEOs......

We can't recommend this enough!!: It's Drew Stones New York Hardcore Chronicles tribute to Al Barile.
The show is three hours and forty five minutes. Al's wife Nancy tells about Al's early life and habits. You get a full idea of what sort of a person Al was and the upbringing that made him that way. Nancy talks about Al's legacy and, beside the obvious musical ones, she mentions his push on health. He waited too long to get a colonoscopy and he pushed for others to not repeat that mistake….and we are passing that along right here. Other guests were SSD members Jaime Sciarappa and Chris Foley who had great insights. They seem like two real stand up guys. Ian MacKaye had a long segment too. Al and Ian had mutual respect for each other.

Drew Stone said that the NYHC Chronicles longest show was #110 which was the Al Barile interview. That was three and half hours long too. We have that above right. When we played it, the soundtrack was not synced to the visuals, be aware of that.

Corin Ashley has a video for his new release "Empathy Centre." He's dressed in a faux medical uniform in the video. Very Sgt. Pepper like. The video does a Wizard of Oz turn at the two minute mark by going from black and white to color.

It seems to us that a musician produced the video because you can see what the band is doing on their instruments. It gives you an insight into what you are hearing. Usually they like to keep the camera moving fast amidst fast cutting. This is a nicely done video that enhances the song.

Static Friction are a newish group in town. They proudly boast ' Est. 2024'. They may be new but they have it all together. They are melodic hardcore and we like the skate punk influences you can hear too. Things become clearer when we looked at the video for "The Balance" (above left) and recognized Derek from OC45 on guitar.

The new self-titled EP out has five tunes. They have three of the song streaming on Bandcamp now, all fiery hardcore. They are driven as much by the dense lyric content as the drumbeats. "Fits & Starts" throws out the word 'revolution' a lot - that seems to be in the air these days.
The song really opened up after a few listens. We found that with OC45 too. It's because they fill up the songs with musical details that you hear better when you listen repeatedly.

In a few songs the band drops down and gives the bass some room, those are some of our fave moments. Kevin from the group has an interview on Punk Rock Review Podcast. You can hear the streaming songs below. You can preorder the whole EP on Bandcamp.

We keep up with the new glam music by listening to the Electric Glam show, see the review in the PODCAST section below. One group we are up on is Gyasi from Nashville. The singers name is really Gyasi.
We heard the song "Snake City" on the show two weeks ago. Now, there's a video. You get to see the person people are hailing as a new glam superstar. We still are intrigued with the "Snake City" song that is half "Tobacco Road" by the Nashville Teens.

Tell has a video for their new release "Boiling the Ocean." The video was done by Rick Berlin. They say it's about the current situation of the band trying to get their music out. There are no record companies and Spotify et al. have demonetized their platforms as far as for musicians.

We talked about the group Sex Scenes from Milwaukee a few weeks ago. They have a video out that has two songs in it. The first is "Want & Need", the second is "Nothing" which is the song we reviewed. They have a raw punk and hardcore sound. The vocals are classic punk style. That's a lot to like for us. These songs are also the only songs that are streaming from their new album Everything Makes Me Sick on Bandcamp.

Had to share this video/song by Casual Hex from Seattle . It's just so post punk sounding and the visuals are wild. It's nice to hear post punk being done so well today.

RADIO......

Skybar played a new Mark Lind and the Unloved song on his 4/22 Rising Show. Lind hasn't had new music in a while and this song "The Oncoming Storm" is a strong stomping rocker. We waylaid the song and have it embedded below.

PODCASTS......

Blowing Smoke with Twisted Rico had Julie Kryslur in for an interview. Julie managed bands including the Dogmatics, FU's and The Bags. She later worked for Enigma Records which she talks about a lot. Julie was also on WERS for a period. One regret that Julie had was quitting managing The Bags to go to a money making gig . She sees that at her biggest mistake.

Julie's started managing the FU's when they had just changed their name to the Straw Dogs. Steev and Julie both worked at Enigma Records and you get a lot of inside stores about the label workings and personalities. Later Julie worked for Island/Polygram Records. She also has a masters from NYU and used that to get a teaching job.

The following Blowing Smoke show was talking to members of TELL; David Wildman and Jim Foster. David grew up in Western Mass. Jim grew up in Harwich down the Cape. David wrote for the Globe from 1990 to 2000 with the On the Rise column. David said the City Weekly series at the Globe was to keep up with the Phoenix.

To get the club listings then you had to call each individual club. David was in a few bands before TELL :Unfamiliars, Thinner, Casper Houser, Savage Garden. Jim said he was in bands but thinks people wouldn't know them. Tell started just before the pandemic. They talk about getting the band together and working on the song "Close Proximity".

On the 4/21 Sonic Overload show Al Quint began the show with "White Stains" by the Molls. That was released in 1979. We can remember them playing the Rat. In the group was Peter Prescott from MOB and Tristram Lozaw who was in Someone and the Somebodies and wrote for Boston Rock magazine.

Sonic Overload is the only place you can celebrate your hardcore Easter. Al starts with Part Time Christians and "Religion on a Stick", then Lil Bunnies doing "Carrot Belly Bunny Rock". It only gets more profane from there.
Al played a new Boston hardcore group named Massacred which we thought was pretty good. We have that below. Another new Boston hardcore group that is getting attention is Phagocyte. Al played their new release "I Am An American". Al began the show with an old punk song and he ended with another - 24-645's "Red Red". How many times did we hear that song on local radio in 1984? Now we think of drummer Randall Lee Gibson - RIP.

Lots more primo hardcore and punk gems (Chelsea - "Urban Kids", Mekons - "Where Were You?) Embedded below we have the Molls, Lil Bunnies doing "Carrot Belly Bunny Rock", The Massacred's song "Power on Top of Power", Phagocyte's "I Am An American" and 24-645's song "Red Red".

The latest Wormtown Underground Radio show by DJ LB Worm has a lot of Boston music on it. It starts with a gem "Not a Lot Going On" by Northey Valenzuela. That group is a collaboration between Craig Northey who is a Canadian musician and Jesse Valenzuela who is from the Gin Blossoms. Jesse wrote some of the Gin Blossoms big hits. Hear it on YouTube. Along the way the show plays the Nervous Eaters, Brad Marino, Zulus, Tom Baker ("Category 5" - love that), Color Killer, Barrence Whitfield and the Savages, Rick Coraccio, Sapling, Linnea's Garden, Mission of Burma and the Wynotts. It's a big three hour show.

On the 4/18 Elastic Glam show Sethyspice brought in the celebs with Bruce Springsteen joining the Killers for a version of "Born To Run", then it was a birthday song by Joan Jett. There was new glam from Remember Monday with "What the Hell Just Happened". There was Gysai doing a live version of "Godhead". Locals TELL new "Boiling the Ocean" fit neatly into its set. The Voltz had the gorgeous "Children of the Stars". The Last Dinner Party songs was "Portrait of the Dead Girl" and Creem Circus give us some street glam with "Keepers of the Hip" .

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

Condition Baker is a group that we pay attention to because they keep getting better with every release. Their new song "Dethroned" has a deep emotional and nostalgic core. The song is mid-tempo which works with their assured groove and the pensive tone to their lyrics. The key line is "We were kings in our own world/ Now we stand here dethroned". They tuck in a sweet thought out guitar solo that ties everything up. A very nice piece of work.

The Downhauls think things are not alright and they are singing, writing and being proactive about it.
Number one is the single they just released titled "Crosshairs". The lyrics crystalize the fighting spirit. "We got to fight, it's not time to cower". The hard rocking music backs the revolutionary spirit of the song. The group reflects the people who are mad and are finding a voice. At the end of the song the vocals hang on to the last word and extend it beyond what you would expect which creates a wonderful moment.

The Downhauls have a bundle that comes with the digital download of the song, They say - "As you have probably noticed... the world’s on fire. That said, we want to try to make it a little bit better. With 20% of proceeds going directly to the ACLU, our latest limited edition merch package is a rock and roll call to action! Included in the bundle: a digital download of our new anthemic single “Crosshairs”, a freshly designed tee made for the frontlines, and some flair to wear with pride. We’re also debuting the first edition of our zine (printed and digital)—packed with essays, art, and voices ready to support resistance to all that seek to oppress."

You can order that bundle on Bandcamp. We find the song and the whole thrust of the band's resolve to be very inspiring.

Happy Little Clouds have a new single titled "Clear & Present Danger". This trio plays so well together and you can hear a great example at the beginning of this song. It begins with an usual ear catching drum beat, then some up front bass that you can hear is outlining a progression and then after some intro guitar lines we hear the chopping guitar chords. At this point we recognize that guitar work. Jac on guitar has a signature sound playing chords, which is so cool. All that adds up to the Happy Little Cloud's sound. After they introduce those themes they thread them through the song. There is also a ominous growling sound in the background (either synth or guitar pedal?) that adds to the songs effect. The lyrics speak of a "narcissistic power structure", which sounds very much like something we all are facing now. Jac also has a clear singing style that marks all their material. We have been captivated with every single since "The Emperors Song".

The single will be released on Bandcamp on May 2.

The Spackles describe their new album Clamaro as an "odds and sods" collection. They have collected the songs of the last few years and rerecorded some of them. All of it was recorded in The Barn, their personal recording studio. They do a good job there. The recordings have more grit and rock rawness than other studios. That helps with the guitar and drum sounds the most.

We're familiar with "Happy to See You" (now has a new vocal), "Dr. Crippen", "Man With The X Ray Eyes", "The Dotted Line" and "Spy In the House of Frankenstein".
This collection is more straight rocking than some off their earlier material. They still are cultural scavengers and come up with unusual subjects, like "Dr. Cribbin", and musical styles. "Small Pond" is a musical throwback and the rhythm is a Latin dance of some sort. Even the cover is a nod to Rat Fink Ed Roth. Our faves are "Happy to See You", "Dr. Crippen" and The Dotted Line". There are four songs streaming on Bandcamp now. The rest of the album gets released on May 2.

Poor Impulse Control from the Cape have a new 5 song EP titled Tourist Trap. You know what you are going to get from Poor Impulse Control - hardcore, with no sweeteners. It's full bore. They have this staccato thing they do that we love to hear. It's at the beginning, middle and end of the song "No One Walks Alone" and happens twice in "Poor Impulse Control". It slays us. It's like a series of explosions. Kudos to the drummer there. The singer is at top volume but you can still catch most of the lyrics which is a plus. The songs are one and two minutes. Nice compact packets of anger.

We love it when a hardcore song expresses personal hate. Hardcore is the perfect vehicle for that situation. We don't like hate expressed in real life, just in song. Just like hearing Nicolaus Cage yell in a movie is entertaining but yelling in real life is a huge stress. That takes us to the group Bad Beat and the song "Make Sense" on Triple B records.

The song packs a lot of energy into a minute and five seconds. The song launches with the singer saying "you fucked up". At the forty second mark the cry becomes "everyone hates you" and you know it's sung at top volume. We can feel our blood pressure go up the way they capture this temper control melt down.

Why Bother? is a group from Iowa. They are experimental post punk. They have some synth in the songs. There four song EP is titled You Are Part of the Experiment. They have a message in their songs about youth being lied to by the government, religious leaders, science, industry - you name it. Their cover of Cock Sparrer's "I've Got Your Number" makes the song new again. It's rawer than the original and has a garage rock feeling to it. The beauty is that the song fits their theme of being lied to.

We continue to like the material that Wyldlife from NYC are releasing. They are on Wicked Cool Records. Their latest is "Dizzy". This one is even more power pop than the others and there's some glam in there too. You can sense the spirit of the NY Dolls lurking around the group too.
