I don’t know a ton about LORETTE VELVETTE – frankly I barely know anything about Tav Falco & Panther Burns, with whom she’s played – but I do know that her cover of Bowie’s “Boys Keep Swinging” from 2000 is better than the original. It hits like a ton of over modulated bricks from the start, and keeps hitting while remaining a pretty faithful interpretation of the original (one of the dozen or so Bowie songs I truly dig). 

It’s from an album called “Rude Angel”. I heard the rest of that album around that time and reckoned that this was the only one worth holding onto.

This is a smoking early piece of Texas punk in the “KBD” style from a lost band called BOY PROBLEMS. I found it on a 7” bootleg comp I bought many years ago called “Sacred Cattle”, and if you believe what you read here, the track is not even called “Participation” at all, but rather “Precipitation”. 

I’d date it at about 1979 or 1980, tops. What do you think?

77 or 78. the band featured future members of huns and inserts, the former of which had a record out by 79. i don’t think either band formed until after boy problems were done

i know the ncm song was 81. i actually have a pdf somewhere with every ncm song and when/where they were recorded. there were a total of 20 or so, including alt-takes of some of the songs from the singles

Classic article from RIPPER fanzine about the infamous 1982 MISFITS show in San Francisco (with Flesh Eaters, Meat Puppets and Jodie Foster’s Army supporting!) in which blood was spilled, anti-gay slurs uttered, and a legion of San Francisco/Berkeley punks turned off to the Misfits forever. 

Article was written by Eugene Robison, who was the singer at the time for Whipping Boy, and who probably could have snapped even Doyle and Jerry Only in two had he chosen to take them on.

THE WHINES are a band from Portland, OR, who’re a pretty razor-sharp approximation of what a scuzzed-out psychedelic rock band of the 60s would sound like if they’d been exposed to all the iterations and flavors of psych, punk, grunge and garage in the intervening years. While this song, “Cut Meat”, from 2010’s “Hell to Play” album, is pretty straightforward if a bit of an ear-bleeder, they’re not all like this. They can zig folky, zag heavy, and drop out and go totally weird on ya as well. I loved their split record last year with The Burning Yellows, and I think we all need to keep an eye peeled for more from these mindbenders.

Meet HISSEY MIYAKE. They’re not around anymore under that name – my sources tell me the two women in the band are now called GLOW – but whilst performing art-thump music under that name circa 2009-11, they put out a split single with a band called Terrible Truths, and have a quartet of original recording available for a mere $1 download fee on their Bandcamp page. This one’s on both releases, and is called “Ghosts”.

I liken this Australian act’s approach to that of the minimalist, post-no wave NYC bands playing places like Danceteria circa 1980. They’re about halfway between Pulsallama and Liquid Liquid, with squeaky female vocals and some obtuse lyrics. I’m totally grooving on the cut of their jib. Keep a lookout for GLOW stuff and please let me know if you find any.

THE NIXE were a predominantly female Dutch punk rock act from ‘80-’81, who most of us had never heard/heard of until their 2008 posthumous LP collection came out on Lili Z’s Polly Magoo Records. This track in particular is pretty special in the 60 seconds or so that it’s around.

“Disco, get out of my way!!”.
