New stuff today comes from Justin Townes Earle with his new record and Daniel Romano from Welland, Canada. Black Lips from Atlanta have a new record and so does John Németh, blues singer from Boise, ID. We also introduce Chris Bathgate from the Detroit area and a Californian singer songwriter Jade Jackson. At the very beginning of the show, we pay a small tribute to Robert Dahlqvist, a guitarist from Hellacopters who suddenly died in February this year.
Today’s show is full of supergroups. There’s a new album by Datura4 (Dom Mariani and Greg Hitchcock), new song from the ex-Yugoslavian supergroup Trese.Lupa.Udara lead by Koja and Tommy Stinson’s Bash and Pop are back with the new tunes. Gartrells is a new supergroup from Georgia with members from Black Lips, Legendary Shack Shakers, Black Linen and The Gaye Blades. We also hear a new tune from Eamon McGrath and a new one from Wild Billy Childish – this time with his band CTMF.
Today we start off with a one man band from Utrecht in Netherlands, Robbing Banks. Then we have a new super-group called Diamond Rugs consisted of John McCauley and Robbie Crowell from Deer Tick, Ian Saint Pé from Black Lips and Steve Berlin from Los Lobos. Then we hear two different tributes to The Rolling Stones – one by Broadway Lafayette and the other from Shiny Darkly. Low Cut Connie has a new single. R. Stevie Moore joins forces with Jason Falkner (ex Three O’Clock) for a one-time album called Make It Be. Finally, new exciting band from Macedonia, Bernays Propaganda closes the show today.
We end today with the mind-blowing new album for Rachel, Tanya and Petra Haden, The Haden Triplets, produced by Ry Cooder. We start with The Forty Nineteens from LA who just put out excellent new record called simply Spin It. Our recommendation exactly! The we check out Coathangers, a trio of ladies from Atlanta for the first time at the show. Black Lips have a new record and so do John The Conqueror. Swedish punks Bäddat För Trubbel are also back with a new tune.
Today we have new songs for Black Lips and Grant Hart. Nick Saloman and his Bevis Frond has a new double album out called White Numbers. We also sample the new tribute record called Dring A Toast To Innocence: A Tribute to Lite Rock, which collects interesting cover versions of cheesy 70s radio hits. As it turns out, those songs weren’t that bad after all, so we hear Lisa Mychols’ cover of David Soul’s Don’t Give Up On Us and Plasticsouls’ cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Sentimental Lady. Australia is the land of great garage rock bands. Step-Panther is another new name from that scene to prove it.
Last week we had a pleasure to see Joe Jack Talcum at the Beachland. Joe’s show was a very touching solo acoustic performance. He brought with himself another duet, also based in Philly, called The Bassturds. He also carried a box with the brand new Dead Milkmen CD. They reunited this year to record a selection of new tunes, but this time with Dandrew on bass replacing Dave Blood. So, in the first part of today’s show we listen to new tunes for the Milkmen, Joe Jack and The Bassturds. After that, we have some other artists with new records. Rock legend Duane Eddy is here, as well as Buddy Miller on a Tom T. Hall cover. Beautiful Amy LaVere is also here with her double bass. Black Lips have a new record, and let us not forget The Cajun Country Revival with their portion of Louisiana madness.
Very fresh show today at The Little Lighthouse! We have the new Billy Childish project The Chatham Singers which he founded together with his wife Julie. We also have new album for Neal Casal, Roots and Wings. Madeleine Peyroux, our favorite Billie Holiday sound-alike is also back with her third album so far Bare Bones. Detroit band Outrageous Cherry announced the new album with a fantastic mp3 single Get Out While You Can. Italian band Afterhours came up with a new album last year, but I just discovered it recently – so we check that out. The new LP is called I Milanesi Ammazzano Il Sabato. And we finish our new album list for this show with Black Lips’ 200 Million Thousand. Also, I played some songs by Cleveland Bill fox who I saw live last week and who blew me away with his talented performance.
