Lost live recording of overlooked post-glam, pre-punk, non-hair band from Boston. Think MC5, Slade, Dolls, Kiss, Aerosmith, wrapped into one. Apparently in 1977 these guys were touted w/ the likes of Clash, Stranglers, Dictators in the press, but they just fell through the cracks and were lost. Heres a rare recording from 1979, recorded for radio play, which turned out to be one of their last performances. Long live rock and fucking roll!!! (and yes, disco did “suck” – note on how they censor the word “sucks”, as in 1979 that word still was charged). 1) live intro from “radio personality” ~ 1min, then standard 70’s glam swagger rock 2) swinging rock, dude 3) again, head nodding 4) reading riding rock and roll wankery 5) melodic, Slade quality 6) “love song”, intro is sparse “I always want a beer” tuning etc… takes 1:10 to start, its worth it for the FUCKING COWBELL alone 7) blues harp hoedown cover of “Dirty Water” 8) wah wah heavy rock, “gotta rock” wankery- after ~5 min goes into full on rip on disco…DISCO S*CKS!!!” 9) radio dj breaks in during intro, slower swingy rock 10) obligatory mellow song for da ladies 11) bluesy simple glam rock 12) Slade cover: Mama were all crazee now 13) Hot For Teacher, their own original version, with radio outro, LID. | ||
