Juliana Hatfield is here with Pussycat and Mary Bragg debuts at the show with an original approach to songwriting.

Ty Segall is back with the new record and so is Mark Sultan. Other than those two fantastic comebacks, we have a few new introductions. Sex Organs are two people dressed as – you guessed it – male and female sex organs costumes. Becky Warren is a new singer-songwriter from Nashville. TOY are a quartet from England and Charlie Faye and the Fayettes are three ladies. Besides Charlie, BettySoo is also there as well as Akina Adderley.

The news comes to us that Andrew Loomis, drummer of the legendary Dead Moon passed away on March 8, so we prepared a block of Dead Moon songs to remember him by.
Today we pay tribute to four artists that passed away in the recent days. Kevin Junior was an institution of the larger Cleveland and Chicago scenes. Music that he created with The Chamber Strings was much larger than the attention they were given. He passed away on January 17. Dale Buffin Griffin from Mott The Hoople passed away on the same day after 10 years struggling with alzheimer’s. Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane passed away on January 28 and the original singer of Jefferson Airplane Signe Toly Anderson passed away as well on the same day. But amidst of all those tragic news, we find time to hear some new music as well. Our friends at Blue Arrow Records released the new album by Jonathan Richman entitled Ishkode! Ishkode!.

As a continuation of their Nikki Sudden reissues, we also now have the first Jacobites reissues, the first lp and Robespierre’s Velvet Basement. Another hot reissue on the same label is Texan hard rock band Josefus with their 1970 loud masterpiece Dead Man. We also have some interesting new records.

Rock’n’roll megastars J Mascis and Ty Segall have new records each and Mark Lanegan had put out the new EP as an advance for the upcoming new record in the Fall this year.
As if we didn’t have a lot of Australians in our last show, we open up with yet another band from Down Under. Straight Arrows have a great new record called Rising. That land never seems to have a shortage of great sounds. Back in America, Ty Segall has a new, very heave single and Bob Mould is in good spirit with a loud new record called Beauty and Ruin. Jenny Scheinman is also back with a new record called The Littlest Prisoner. And a special treat this time is The Chamber Strings. A band lead by Kevin Junior, who is a Cleveland native, but now lives in Chicago. He reformed the band with an all-Cleveland lineup and they had a great show in Cleveland opening for The Sadies. We check out an exclusive track recorded live that night.
