THE DUSTERS - This Ain't No Jukebox

THE DUSTERS This Ain't No Jukebox cd 1990
This Ain't No Jukebox... Were're a Rock'n Roll Band / Take a Chance on Love* / The Truck Won't Start / Phantom Of The Strip / How could You / Hellbound Train / Street Legal / What Can I Say / Blues Highway / Look What The Cat Drug in*.
The Dusters: K.Mc Mahan: guitar & vocals / L. D. Barnette: bass / C. Sherlock: drums / L. Overtoom: drums on*
"In 1986, smack dab in the middle of a "you boys don't belong down here neighborhood", The Dusters began crafting their revved-up version of the blues. Fueled by a never-say-die attitude and a large dose of their next door neighbor's barbeque, they set out in a beat up van, relentlessly playing every dive and juke joint from Austin, Texas, to New York City, performing up to 300 nights a year. All the sleepless nights and truck stop meals paid off, and the boys caught the attention of an independent record label in Nashville, Tennessee, who released their first EP Red Hot and Ready to Roll. As with many independent releases of the time it did not attract much attention in the metal-laden hairspray music industry of the time, but it did provide The Dusters with a respectable calling card for booking purposes and landed them opening spots on tours with The Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Tailgators, and The True Believers. With the release of their first full-length effort, This Ain't No Jukebox...We're a Rock n' Roll Band, The Dusters began to receive much appreciated critical acclaim and national attention. They landed several Mid-South Music Awards, product endorsements and even recorded a national radio spot for Miller Brewing Company's Genuine Draft Tap Into the Cold advertising campaign. With the increased national exposure, came opening spots on tours with Johnny Winter, The Georgia Satellites and John Lee Hooker. The boys were even picked as Grand Marshals for the International Hot Rod Association, appearing trackside for meet and greets at several drag races..." more here!

When the Dusters proudly titled this CD "This Ain't No Jukebox.....We're a Rock N' Roll Band" they meant every word of it. Not a band who goes for a slick, high-gloss production style, nor a group who lace their rock with a lot of pop, this power trio favors instruments that are played instead of programmed and takes a raw, gritty approach to blues-rock, hard rock, and roots-rock. The Dusters are obviously well aware of rock's blues heritage, and that knowledge serves them well on earthy, down-and-dirty cuts like "Street Legal," "How Much Longer," and "Blues Highway" -- all of which make you feel like you've just wandered into a biker bar. This album isn't the least bit innovative, but it's certainly rewarding and spirited. In fact, one could say that "This Ain't No Jukebox.....We're a Rock N' Roll Band" is derivative in the best sense of the word. Allmusic
According to their Myspace the Dusters are putting finishing touches on their latest recording, "Delta Jubilee"

SUPERGROUPIES - Supergroupies

SUPERGROUPIES Supergroupies cd 2005 320 kbps
Give it All You Got / Bouncin' / Hot in Paris / Low Blue Flame / Summer Time / Say Goodbye / What a Day / Scream Shout Adore / I Wish You Would / Tonight with Love / '75 / You will Do Come One Come All / I'll Make You Happy* / Runaround*.
*bonus tracks
Produced by K. Marcello.
Supergroupies: A. Daniel: guitar / J. Linden: drums / K. Simon: vocals & guitar / M. Grimm: bass.
"After one listen to Supergroupies' self-titled debut record, you might start taking down some posters on your bedroom wall to make room for their glammy faces. The bandmembers hail from Sweden, deck themselves out in makeup, sport matching platinum blond feather cuts, and even rock the occasional feather boa. But all fears of a hair metal revival are quashed by the opening notes of the album's opener, "Give It All You Got," which rocks hard but in the power pop manner of vintage Redd Kross, not Poison. To that end, the band is definitely more Sweet than Kiss, more Hanna-Barbera than Headbangers Ball, more bubblegum than Jack Daniels. About the only recent group to have anything truly in common with Supergroupies is Tsar (the Tsar of their debut album, that is, not the punks of Band-Girls-Money) and maybe, in a stretch, the Darkness. The album is a nonstop blitz of hooks, huge choruses, flashy guitar solos, handclaps, and endearingly silly lyrics. K. Simon has a perfectly brash teenage croon, the production is glossy but packs a real punch, and the band's energy never flags. The high quality of the songs never drops off, either, as nearly every one is a perfect blast of glittery nonsense. The best of them are quite spectacular, and in a perfect world the effervescent "Bouncin'" would be a huge smash, teenage girls would be screaming Beatlemania style to sweet ballads like "Summertime" and "Tonight with Love," neo-rockers would be rocking their iPods with primitive tracks like "You Will Do" and "Hot in Paris," and the album would be available in America. Probably the most one can hope for is the last, but it doesn't hurt to dream. You should really try to get your hands on this disk -- that is, if you have any desire for a record with brains and brawn, with teenage soul and a non-winking sense of fun, and with songs good enough to actually stand toe to toe with those of their heroes and not come off like weak imitations. Supergroupies may never make it in the rock game, but on the basis of this one record, they are already stars." Allmusic.com
"I grew up listening to and loving AM Radio, Pop music, and Top 40. As I got a little older, I began what would be a life long love affair with glitter/glam bands from the 1970's and glam/hair bands/metal bands from the 1980's. This is where my heart is - and it will ALWAYS remain the love of my life.
I stopped listening to 99% of "new" music back in the early 1990's, after the miserable plague of grunge poisoned music and killed all the joy that went along with it. Since then, there have only been a few bands that I have liked - but NOTHING has ever given me the same thrill as I had "back in the day". And, I had pretty much given up on current music altogether. Then, purely by accident, I happened to hear about Supergroupies - and ALL of that changed instantly...
I don't know how they did it, but they have somehow managed to combine ALL of the very best elements from 1970's glitter/glam/pop and 1980's hair bands into a completely PERFECT - (actually, beyond PERFECT) - package of ultra glam/melodic pop - uniquely their own. This CD is a MASTERPIECE of infectious, catchy, happy songs. Once you hear them, they become permanently embedded in your mind and heart..." Source

The Great Buddha of Kamakura

The Great Buddha from Kamakura (Daibutsu) represents the Amida Buddha (in Japanese Amida Nyorai), the Buddha of the Infinite Light, the main Deity of the Buddhist Sect Jodo (Pure Land).

Actually, Buddha is not a name, but a honorific term, like the Christian Mesia. Buddha comes from Sanskrit and it is the past participle of the verb Buddh, meaning “to awaken” or “to know", translated in English as “one who has awakened to the truth".

In Japanese it is also referred as Butsu, hence Daibutsu (written ?? or ??), from ? Dai, meaning Great and ? or ? Butsu (the On reading), meaning Buddha. More images after a break...

Durga Khote the famous Indian actress was born on January 14, 1905. The actress started as one of the foremost leading ladies of her times, for over 50 years remained active in Hindi and Marathi cinema, as well as theatre. The actress starred in around 200 films and numerous theatre productions.

UNCLE SAM - Letters From London

UNCLE SAM Letters From London cd 1990 320 kbps
Letters From London / Whiskey Slick / Dreams of Money / Red Shirt / Stranger / Good Bye Mr Mary / Crystal / Ain't No Valentino / Room For One / Lexington Blues.
Produced by Uncle Sam & M. Duda.
Uncle Sam: L. Miller: guitar / D. Gentner: lead vocals / B. Purol: bass / J. Mann: drums
The Rochester, New York based Crossover act, Uncle Sam enjoyed the majority of their fame thanks to the release of their debut album "Heaven Or Hollywood" in 1988. Actually, if truth be told, it wasn't so much the record but the album cover that attracted attention to the group formed by guitar playing milkman L. Miller. The cover depicted a razor handed, naked unidentified female seemingly about to transform a certain part of her anatomy into what's known in the trade as a shaven haven.
The band had formed earlier as garage rock act The Attics. When original drummer T. Shippers left the fold to join Immaculate Mary the band pulled in drummer G. G. A. Brisk and switched titles to Uncle Sam. The line-up of the group that recorded the first album was completed by vocalist S. Cessna, bassist D. Gentner and drummer G. A. Brisk.
Uncle Sam grabbed tons of coverage in the likes of Kerrang! with the debut, leading to a European deal with, ironically enough, Razor Records. The first album certainly made an impact, going on to sell over 100 000 copies. Touring saw Ron K. taking the drums role before J. Mann made the position more permanent . Source
"...Part punk, part metal, part garage rock with a touch of mid-tempo sleaze/grunge/glam thrown in for good measure."

Bull Frog Vs Sparrow

Spectacular captures of the American Bullfrog preying on an unlucky sparrow. Growing up to a length of 20 centimeters or 7.9 inches, the bullfrog preys on any animal that it can overpower and stuff down its throat. Their stomachs have been found to contain rodents, small turtles, snakes, frogs including bullfrogs and birds of course. Ambush predators as they are known for, the bullfrog can be seen submerging large preys (in this case the sparrow) into the water to cut their air supply and defense. Check out the whole sequence of the bullfrog and the unlucky sparrow with 5 more pics after the jump........

Crusaders: Sir Chris (C. Malters): guitar, vocals / Sir James (J. McDonald): guitar, vocals / Sir Kendall (J. Kendall): bass, vocals / Sir Mickster (M. Baty): drums.

Combining the retro 60's sound of surf and raw garage rock with their own antics of drunk punk are provided by The Crusaders. Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Dionysus Records contributed to their American debut in 1996 with the release of their ten-inch EP "Addicted to Fuzz". Two years later, The Crusaders continued their relationship with Dionysus upon their first full-length "Fat, Drunk & Stupid", followed by "Middle Age Rampage" in 1999. Allmusic

The Crusaders from Sydney, Australia, have been descibed as "Australia's wildest garage-punk outfit ever"!! Formed in 1990 out of the ashes of Thee Purple Knights, the band developed their 60's brand of rock into a ferocious brutal 60's punk onslaught, albeit with caberet overtones. Compare "To the Party" from our debut cd/ep "Wylde Tymes at the Castle" to the Tim Kerr produced "Deep Shyte" ....in 1997 the band toured Spain for 4 weeks and in 1998 the U.S.A. got a four week dose of CRUSADER mayhem. The Crusaders are currently recording a new album!!! Source

This band used to be one of Frances finest combos.Definitely secret,ocassionally bizarre with a very raw sense of melody and lyric.Les Coranados used to be the darlings of the rock critics.So it became imperitive to release their early recordings from a wild and heroic decade.

METEORS - Meteors Madness

SINGLES: METEORS Meteors Madness ep 1981 320 kbps
Voodoo Rhythm / Maniac Rockers From Hell / My Daddy is a Vampire / You Can't Keep a Good Man Down.
Produced by the Meteors.
Meteors: P. P. Fenech: guitar, vocals / N. Lewis: bass / M. Robertson: drums.
The Meteors are a British psychobilly band formed in 1980. Originally from the U.K., they are often credited with giving the psychobilly subgenre its distinctive sound and style. Though the origins of psychobilly are debated, The Meteors are the first band to self-identify as psychobilly, and are often credited with the distinction of being the only "pure" psychobilly band among fans of the subgenre.Fans of the band (known as the World Wide Wrecking Crew (WWWC)) are known to use the slogan, "Only The Meteors are Pure Psychobilly".
The Meteors played their first show during Rockabilly Night at The Sparrow Hawk in north London, but after being heckled due to their cross between rockabilly and punk attitudes, decided to begin playing shows beyond just rockabilly clubs. They developed a loyal following known as "the Crazies, or Zorchmen" who invented their own dance style called "going mental," a cross between fighting, dancing and moshing. This would later be renamed "wrecking," and is still a staple of the psychobilly scene to this day. Coupled with Fenech's ritual of spitting (chicken) blood during performances, many clubs believed the band was dangerous and refused to book them. The band began playing at punk rock clubs alongside UK punk bands. However, unlike many punk bands, The Meteors would (and still very much do) insist that their shows be "a politics and religion free zone" in order to focus on having a good time instead of allowing disputes between fans to break out.

Due to their large cult following, The Meteors made a short film in late 1980 with comedian K. Allen called "Meteor Madness". It was released as a double feature with Two-tone ska film "Dance Craze" in March 1981. The movie featured four songs, which made it onto the band's first vinyl single. Source

The Four Horsemen (there were actually 5 of ‘em, by the way) was formed by bassist Kid Chaos (Stephen Harris) in 1988. Chaos has the greatest goddamn pedigree in all of rock and roll. First, the fucker did time in Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction until Ian Astbury stole him for a 1987 Cult tour. Kid screwed up the dream gig by appearing on the Joan Rivers show wearing a Zodiac Mindwarp t-shirt (!), and soon found himself looking for a job. He split the UK and landed in LA, where we changed his name to Haggis, switched to rhythm guitar, wrote a bunch of songs, and formed the Four Horsemen. They quickly released a now scarce 4 song, self-titled EP in ‘89* that laid down the biker-friendly, blue-collar blueprint for their sound. The songs were amped-up classic rockers, with all the hard rock crunch of the Cult mixed with Southern riff rock, and pushed right over the top by Frank Starr’s hyperactive screech**. Critics loved ‘em because they thought all the macho swagger was ironic, and the kids loved them because they knew it wasn’t. The Horsemen started carving out a reputation as authentically bad-ass rock and roll motherfuckers with a series of kill for thrills live shows, and all this AC/DC meets Sturgis biker rally meets Texan roadhouse thunderboogie action quickly caught up to Rick Rubin, who signed them to Def American. In 1990, the band was all set to go to New York and record “Nobody Said It Was Easy”, and success was just around the corner.Then Frank got busted on a drug charge and went to jail for 6 months. Guess they got the title for the album right. Eventually he got out, and they recorded the record. It hit the streets in 1991, and fit right in with the whiskey drinkin’, poker cheatin’, tattooed and bruised biker metal aesthetic so gloriously prevalent in the early 90’s. “Tired Wings”, the album’s sole (pseudo) ballad, was a shameless Lynrd Skynrd inspired southern rock rambler, and it’s video got a decent amount of airplay on MTV. They toured with the Black Crowes and a cobbled-together almost-Skynrd, and developed a rabid following of bikers, metal heads, and assorted bad asses. Then they started writing songs for their follow-up. And then, in 1992, Frank got thrown back in jail for a year. By the time he got out, a lot of momentum was lost, but the band rallied, and work on “Getting Pretty Good… at Barely Getting By” began. Then, in 1994, drummer Dimwit died of a heroin overdose. He was replaced by his brother, Chuck Biscuits (Danzig), but by that time Haggis had enough of the madness, and left his own band, followed quickly by original bass Ben Pape. Axeman Dave Lizmi and Frank Starr soldiered on. Then, in 1995, a drunk driver smashed into Frank while he was riding his motorcycle, and he lapsed into a coma. Dave finished the mixing the record, and it was released on American in 1996. Dave hired Ron Young from Little Caesar to cover for Frank, and they toured the album until 1998, when they finally fizzled out. Frank (R.I.P.) never woke up from his coma, and eventually died in June, 1999. Sleazegrinder
Following Starr's death, the band broke up.
In 2005, Haggis and D. Lizmi assembled as much archive footage of the band as they could gather, and released a 2 disc retrospective "Left for Dead". Disc one is a dvd featuring all videos from the "Nobody said it was Easy"" album, plus rare interviews, live performances, and behind the scenes footage. Disc two is a live cd (buy it here!).
For the 21st anniversary of the band you can visit their store where you will find a bunch of great stuff in celebration of this fact. Re-releases of all their records with additional material. Plus, a pile of stuff never before seen or heard (unless you were there).
