Their two hits were derivations of Eddie & the Hot Rods and the Clash respectively, but a couple of cracking singles nonetheless.

 

It was all downhill after he was outed as really being called Nicky Waitrose.

Yeah, that's good casting

 

A genuine dilemma for those of us monitoring music deaths for the purpose of doing a one-off "List of the Lost" show. Worthy of a mention but more for where she was and how visible she became. That said, she's on lead vocal here, so that's it sorted and we wouldn't want to miss her,

It's spirited and very much of its time - a neccessary reaction to how seriously prog rock was taking itself a year or two before

Really sad news. A true trailblazer and icon. Another of my childhood icons gone. RIP.

Chris Bailey, of Aussie punk band The Saints reportedly dead: https://www.clashmusic.com/news/the-saints-chris-bailey-has-died

 

Yes, they even made Top Of The Pops, hitting a peak of #34 in the UK Charts with This Perfect Day in July 1977.


Damn - my favourite Aussie band.

Best cover song ever and that’s that.

(As noted elsewhere) Gord Lewis, founding guitarist for the Canadian punk band Teenage Head, has died. He was 65. Lewis is believed to be the third homicide victim in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, in 2022 and may have been deceased for some time. His son, Jonathan Lewis, is in custody and has been charged with second-degree murder.

Wanted to share an update on David Thomas from Pere Ubu cause I saw he was mentioned in the first post. He said in an interview from 2020 that he almost died twice, and he needs kidney dialysis three times a week. Saw him performing with Pere Ubu somewhere in autumn 2019. He was driven in a wheelchair to the stage, and during the gig just sitting on a stool, drinking straight from a wine bottle and howling at his band members. Really impressive gig nonetheless (they did - apart from encores for which they didn't leave the stage cause it would take 10 minutes - only songs from their last album, which was even for their standards pretty gloomy and hard to get into.

 

But what I wanted to share.. During covid he got really busy with remastering his own albums and hosting his own patreon show which aired once a week, but 2 months go it was suddenly very silent on their socials. According to the patreon he tested postive for covid at the end of june and looks like there haven't been many updates since then.

 

And let's end with some banger from their commercial period

 

 

 

 

edit: The Guardian had an interview with him earlier this year in which he said 'contacting covid would be fatal', so maybe he cheated death once again..

Teenage Head played the Detroit market regularly in the early 1980s  iirc.  Surely I saw him when I saw them a couple times.  ‘Gord’ is a queer name and is thus used exclusively by Canucks lmao.

A very fine drummer.   His work on Bob Mould's cheery album Black Sheets of Rain is something to behold.

Teresa Taylor from the Butthole Surfers in hospice:

From Teresa Taylor:

"Many of you know I am in hospice, end stage. Cheryl Curtice is a godsend. She tends to me without my verbal abuse driving her away ( so far ). No more hospitals. I love being at home. I have an RN Nurse, oxygen, and weak -ass meds. Basket full of WHATEVERS. It sucks, but laughter ensues. I love ya'll. Kiss. Kiss. Morbid. Surreal. Wooo... This is the way step inside. Check you on the flipside."

She also played the woman who tried to sell Madonna's pap smear in Slacker, and appears on the poster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slacker_(film)
