The Paul O'Halloran penned classic "It sure don't feel like Xmas time" was featured on the "Midnite Xmas Mess" compilation. In 1998, Shredder/Vagrant released the Dogmatics 2 LPs along with some previously unreleased tracks. The Dogmatics songs have been covered by, among others, Boston's own Mighty Mighty Bosstones, New Orleans prankster's Dash Rip Rock, The Pussy Willows, Heap, and Swedish garagepunk kings The Locomotions.
On October 23, 1986, Paul O'Halloran (R.I.P) died in a tragic motorcycle accident. The Dogmatics have had numerous reunions since 1986 with brothers Johnny and Jimmy O'Halloran sharing the bass duties. Source
"...The sound and sight of the Dogmatics was consummate, raucous rock and roll – three minute spurts of high energy garage slop-pop played by possessed rubber faced hooligans with manic fervor. Think Eddie Cochran meeting Johnny Thunders at a keg party hootenanny and shamelessly, though effectively, steamrolling through everything from Jimmy Reed to Thin Lizzy. It was intoxicating and uplifting. They took and then passed on to their audience punk rock’s most important message; “Hey I can do that”. It was an attitude they adopted and encouraged. Music didn’t have to be pretentious and idolatrous as it had become in the late 60’s and 70’s. It wasn’t meant to be professional, excessive and pretty, but rather like the Dogs themselves, reckless, volatile and ugly..." Source

Peter, Paul, and Jerry met in the first grade at St. Matthew's Catholic school in Dorchester, Massachusetts. After eight years at St. Matthew's, each of their families moved from Dorchester to South Shore suburbs during while they were in high school.Paul started a band with lifelong friend T.K, singer Skag, guitarist Sam Babbitt, and drummer Joey Olsen. They called themselves the Savage Beasties. This band would be the starting point for future bands. T.K eventually moved to Boston on Thayer St., where he co-founded "Spearhead Go" along with Barry Hall, B.C Kagan and Joey Olsen. This accomplishment encouraged Paul to move to the Thayer St. loft along with his twin brother Pete. Paul, eager to pick up where the Beasties left off, enlisted his brother and longtime friend Jerry Lehane to start a band in Boston. Their good friend Dan Shannon played drums in this new band. The future Dogmatics would play their first and last show under the name "Guttersnipes" at their Thayer St. loft. Not happy with the "Guttersnipes" name, Pete thought that "Dogmatics" was more appropriate. The Dogmatics played their first show at Cantones in 1981. They were honored to open on a Tuesday night for no money. They continued to play throughout Boston for the next year with drummer Dan Shannon, who would leave the band for college. Squantum native Thomas Long, the 18 year old celebrated drummer, would take over on sticks and the Dogs would be forever changed.The Dogmatics played anywhere they could get a gig in the United States. This fact did not deter them. In 1984, the Dogmatics released their first and only single to date on their own label "Cat records": 'Gimme the Shakes' on the A-side and the Eddie Cochran classic "20 Flight Rock" on the B-side. In 1985, the Dogmatics signed with Homestead Records and released their first album, "Thayer Street"...(to be continued) Source

Date Bait: K.Kane: rhythm & lead guitars, electric sitars, keyboards / B. Horrorwitz: drums, percussions, effects / D. G. Bader (Baiter?): lead vocals / J. Zang: bass, keyboards, mellotron / J. Stone: lead guitar° / K. Straub: lead guitar*.
Once upon a time, a dude named Kim Kane spent 15 years playing in a "popular" garage band called The Slickee Boys. In 1987 he approached Brian D. Horrorwitz with the idea of starting a new band. The 2 things they both agreed on was that the group had to 1. Be "fun", and 2. Have no socially redeeming value whatsoever. They succeeded. Thumbing through the "Psychotronic" encyclopedia of movies, they jokingly picked the name "Date Bait"(if you've ever seen ‘em you know why), saying it would help them meet more girls.When quitting The Slickee Boys, Kane told local papers about his new band Date Bait. Not having ever agreed on a name, Horrorwitz and the guys were stunned to read this announcement in The Washington Post and other local rags! Oh well, looks like they were stuck with it! ...
Early on the boys were reportedly fronted a tidy sum to record an LP (buy it here)/CD for France's New Rose label. For some reason they thought they could get away with spending only a smidgeon of it on the actual recording, and save the rest for their own use. No one really knew what the hell they were doing, least of all the studio technician! The best cuts were the ones hastily mixed whenever the studio guy would leave the mixing room to take a dump or whatever! Well, the low-budget low-fidelity recordings were shipped off post-haste, the guys assuming that the label would "bump- up" the sound in the mastering. Nope, no such luck. "I Split On Your Grave" was issued as was, with the added coffin-nails being that the CD version had 2 wanky "bonus" cuts that never shoulda' been heard by ANYBODY, and that the cheap bastards at the label screwed up Kanes' beautifully ghoulish color cover artwork, printing it instead as a sorta' 2-color urine-looking dayglo thang. Not wanting to become kings of the cut-out bins, the band has since attempted to make sure all their later records sounded raw and rockin', the way the good lord intended. In 1991 a lot of material was recorded for a follow-up LP, but the curse of the first would follow them around like a fowl-smelling body odor, making it difficult for anyone not having seen them live to believe that these losers could really rock-out! Hard to believe, the same debut slab of smegma was reissued on a Japanese label without the group even knowing about it until a Japanese fan mailed them one! (They're pretty desperate for things to reissue in Japan it seems.) Tired of shopping around demo tapes and recording at "professional" studios whose engineers were weened on Toto, Kane and company formed their own Maryland based DeCeased label. Their attitude was "Rock-N-Roll is DEAD, but WE DON'T CARE!" (Echoing the sentiments of an old Rubinoos song), and often their 45 labels proudly stated this...
... After 4 years, singer Gutterboy decided to chuck it in, so Horrorwitz was the natural replacement, what with him knowing all the lyrics. Little did he realize as he scrawled out the lyrics to "Goin' Nowhere Fast" back in 1990 that this unknowingly prophetic title would ring all-too-true. In their time Date Bait have released one lp/cd, six singles, one videotape, and been on numerous compilations. Source (If you want to learn more about Date Bait)

The Least Populated Countries in The World

10 - Dominica 72,500

Dominica, (French: Dominique) officially the Commonwealth of Dominica, is an island nation in the Caribbean Sea. To the north-northwest lies Guadeloupe, to the southeast Martinique. Its size is 754 square kilometres (291 sq mi) and the highest point in the country is Morne Diablotins, which has an elevation of 1,447 metres (4,750 ft). The Commonwealth of Dominica has an estimated population of 72,500. The capital is Roseau.

Dominica has been nicknamed the "Nature Isle of the Caribbean" for its seemingly unspoiled natural beauty. It is the youngest island in the Lesser Antilles, still being formed by geothermal-volcanic activity, as evidenced by the world's second-largest boiling lake. The island features lush mountainous rainforests, home of many rare plant, animal and bird species. There are xeric areas in some of the western coastal regions, but heavy rainfall can be expected inland. The Sisserou Parrot (also known as the Imperial Amazon), the island's national bird, is featured on the national flag. Dominica's economy is heavily dependent on both tourism and agriculture.

Fire at Carlton Center, Bangalore claims 9 lives : Updated Video

This evening there was a major fire that broke out at the Carlton Center(popular for TGIF) near the Old HAL Airport Road, close to the Domlur Flyover.

Reports being flased on television suggest that 9 folks have lost their lives and 70+ are injured. The blame is on a electric short-circuit. Also, the poor fire management equipment present in the building.

This incident has led to 2 km+ traffic jams in most places around Domlur. My condolences to the family(s) of those who have lost their lives today.

Formé au début des années 1980 en Nouvelle-Zélande avec des musiciens ayant joué dans les groupes punk "Dum Dum Boys" puis "The Henchmen" et inspiré par The Stooges, Reptiles at dawn fut un des rares groupes de rock des antipodes à pouvoir faire parvenir alors les échos de sa musique jusqu'en Europe.Pratiquant une musique rampante (logique compte tenu de son nom), binaire et lancinante, le groupe emmené par son chanteur Tony Collins bénéficia du soutien du label français New Rose pour enregistrer à Auckland et Sydney et faire paraître en 1986, "Naked In The Wilderness". En 1987, l'album "Dressed In The Flesh", moins brut, suivit.Un double 45 tours comportant des inédits "After The Plague" et le 45 tours "Zenith" complétèrent, en sus d'une présence sur plusieurs compilations, la discographie de ce groupe éphémère et exotique par sa provenance dont la sincérité était le principal atout. Tony Collins installé en France intégre au début du troisième millénaire le groupe brestois "The Lost Disciples" mais après trois albums le groupe s'arrête en 2008.

Produced by J. Cat.
The Crybabys: Honest J. Plain: guitar & vocals / D. Bath: guitar & vocals / D. Garcia: bass & vocals / L. Riggs: drums.
Darrell Bath formed The Crybabys with Honest John Plain (The Boys, The Lurkers, etc....) in 1990 and they recorded their first album in 1991. The band broke up when Darrell joined Dogs D'amour in november 1992, although Darrell was around for the recording of Honest John's solo album in 1993. Throughout the 90s, Darrell and Honest John recorded several albums credited to the Crybabys, but most of them were never released at the time. Source
"Rock On" Sessions" was recorded in 1995, following Darrell Bath and Honest John Plain's collaboration with Ian Hunter on the Dirty Laundry project. According to Darrell, "it features songs that nearly made it on to the Dirty Laundry album and some that never would have made the Dirty Laundry album!" "Rock On Sessions" wasn't released until 2000.
"...Far from any commercial concern or elitist pseudo-fad "Rock On" sessions is once and for all a rock'n'roll album with all the purity and sincerity associated to this term. No popularity-seeking messages or pompous statements but alternatively moving and humourous lyrics backed up by a powerful rhythm section and guitars galore. The Crybabys have no intention whatsoever to revolutionize the music industry, they're much more interested to writing great songs and concentrating on the beer crates awaiting them backstage. "Rock On" Sessions is nonetheless a flawless album with a perfect balance between ass-kicking numbers and sentimental ballads in the true tradition of rock'n'roll..." Source

"Pelado Records bringing the best in Punk Rock since 1996!"
"Thirty-two of the coolest young groups that either sound like the Dead Boys but look like Mötley Crüe, or vice versa. If you’re a teenaged badass wearin’ creepers from Hot Topic, this is what you want blaring outta your beat-to-shit Plymouth this spring. Standout cuts include ones by Detroit’s own Trash Brats, the Confessions, Super-Bees, the Stiletto Boys, the Beatings, American Heartbreak, and the Pelado Records house band, Dimestore Haloes."
