Today we start off with the new music from Pat Todd and his Rankoutsiders. They have a new single out. We also introduce the new band Bat Fangs for Betsy Wright, who was in Ex Hex and Laura King, who was in Moaners. We also introduce Number Ones from London UK and Gary Ritchie from Austin TX, both in the realm of power pop. Daniel Romano is back with three new albums, two are solo, Human Touch and Neverless and one is with his Ancient Shapes, Silent Rave. Kramer joined forces with Bill Frisell for the new installment of tributes to the songs that came out of The Brill Building in New York City.
Juliana Hatfield has a new single, and Zerodent from Perth, Australia, have a new recording that we check out in this episode. We also check out the new digital single from Igor Djeke’s Harp Explosion. Suzi Quatro, Andy Scott of The Sweet and Don Powell from Slade have a new project together with a record full of cover versions. We also check out the new stuff from Lowest of The Low, lead by Ron Hawkins. We also listen to the live music from Uranium Club and Hy Maya. Hy Maya is an old Cleveland band, with live recordings recently unearthed by the Smog Veil Records. Today’s show is dedicated to Mark E. Smith from Fall, who recently passed away at the age of 60.
Ty Segall is back with the new double LP, and it sounds like he surpassed his last year’s self titled record. Lots of good music on this one. Heron Oblivion have a new album out, which was recorded live in San Francisco last year. Thee Fine Lines from Springfield, MO and our local darlings, Archie and The Bunkers are also back. Also from Cleveland, we have the new band for David Petrovich, who Clevelanders know as a charismatic guy selling second hand junk in the basement of Beachland. The new band is called Black Tights. We also have them in our live in CLE block. We also introduce Robyn Gibson from UK who keeps cranking excellent home made covers of power pop hits. Another band that we hear here for the first time is The Cold Still from Canada. The biggest thing in today show is the new band that we play for the first time at the show. They come from Brooklyn and their name is I Am The Polish Army. Today’s show is dedicated to the South African trumpet player Hugh Masekela who passed away last week.
