Today we start with The Meatbodies, a band that involves Chad Ubovich, a long time collaborator of Ty Segall. Then we introduce Sabbath Assembly, self described occult band that travels between Texas and New York City. White Reaper come from Louisville KY and Ghoultown come from Texas, both bands quite rough and heavy. Automatic City from France bring us their playful brand of boogie woogie and so do modern legends Endless Boogie who are back with a new record. We also have two new albums by two wonderful ladies. Juliana Hatfield is here with Pussycat and Mary Bragg debuts at the show with an original approach to songwriting. The Obsessed has a new record called Sacred and we also check how they sounded in Cleveland a few weeks ago. Redd Kross also visited us here in town, after 20 years.
It’s a heavy show today, at least in the beginning. We begin by introducing Ruby The Hatchet fronted by Jillian Taylor, from New Jersey. Then from Maryland, via the new Heavy Nuggets compilation, we check out The Obsessed. Then we pay a tribute to Rick Parfitt, the rhythm guitarist of Status Quo who passed away on December 24th. Then we introduce two brand new bands, one from Australia – The Rhinehearts and the other one Tyler and The Names, fronted by Tyler Bejoian from Boston. At the very end of the show, we hear two bonus songs from the brand new reissue of the legendary album Dixie Friend by Jim Dickinson.
