Galileo 7 from the Medway area amd Pugwash from Ireland are back with their own brand of refined power pop. Part Time Lover from Cleveland have a new single, and we check out the B-side. We also introduce Bed Wettin’ Bad Boys from Sydney, Australia. We also pay tributes to Fast Eddie Clarke, the last remaining member of Motörhead classic line up. Ray Thomas of The Moody Blues also passed away this month. Oh, and by the way, it’s been 17 years since this little show started out.
We have some nice new projects for the familiar faces at The Little Lighthouse. Jeffrey Evans (68 Comeback, Gibson Bros) plays with Ross Johnson (Panther Burns) occasional gigs in Memphis and now an album of a set they recorded back in 2008 with Jim Dickinson is finally out on a disc. Robert Pollard gathered some old Dayton friends and formed a new band called Ricked Wicky (actually the name of one of his first bands). Tim Lee and Susan Bauer celebrate a 33rd and 1/3 anniversary with an LP of the same title. We introduce some new names in this show this time: Germ House from New Mexico, Two Gallants from San Francisco and The New Piccadillys who play Mersey beat versions of well rock’n’roll standards (mostly!).
