lesser known 70s/early 80s CBGBs/MAX'S bands

Yeah, I haven't seen Eric from the Speedies since high school but I understand he did pretty well at Apple and has some patents to his credit.

Anyway:
I Have Never Heard These Records That People Voted For In The Village Voice's Old Pazz & Jop Product Report
Bands nobody ever talks about anymore in the "America" chapter of the 1980 new wave guide I just bought for http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=41&threadid=46263 off a seemingly homeless guy set up on the sidewalk of St Marks

Ha, long thread title messed up the linkifier.

i knew about annie golden cuz she was in the hair movie that i loved

Annie was my intro to any and all of non-radio cbgb alumni thanks to the incredible Hang Up the Phone being featured in Sixteen Candles:

Jake: Yes, hello sir... Um

Howard: Are you the little bugger that's been calling up here all night and then hanging up?

Jake: Would it be possible for you to tell me if there is a Samantha Baker there and if so may I converse with her briefly?

Howard: Yes there is and NO you may not.

Jake: Might I leave a message sir?

Howard: He wants to leave a message for Sam.

I still say is a ________________ there and if so may I converse with her/him briefly? regularly.

Mink DeVille!!!!!!

Haha, I remember that scene. That's funny, Pappa.

Wayne County. Saw her a couple of times in nineties, playing with pick-up bands of local musician. Uprorious banter and very rocking, though the records I've heard don't really capture it,

Auotobiography "Man enough to be a woman" is a great punk rock read.

The Fast were pretty great though:

this is the part of the thread where i post the nine minute live version of dream baby dream by bruce springsteen

because i can!

Springsteen and Jayne County on one thread - together at last!

I imagine I still would've voted Mumps even if they weren't the only band on here that I've heard.

i was looking for that goofy interview footage of mumps and fast, but i got stuck watching night at harrah instead. i could watch all night long!!! (i wish there was a 70's disco footage cable channel)

Loads of great stuff from Anton Perich

i don't know if I'm the only one who has trouble with this, but there's a UK power-pop band called Fast Cars from Manchester who appeared on the Manchester Collection comp on Object Music who have a song called The Kids Just Wanna Dance, that has nothing in common with the song above.

The Fast also featured Ian North of Milk-n-Cookies who'd go onto to do this:

I'm going to resist posting Shox Lumania, Richard Bone and Man Parrish videos...

Milk 'n Cookies! Dan, were you at Radio Heartbeat? So fucking brilliant. "10 girls 20 girls, i want more/ 40 girls 50 girls, just because!"

Also, Fast Cars were fantastic... that song was also on 100% British Mod, which features the song Blood Splattered with Guitars by the Accidents, which may be my favorite song ever, and has that one brilliant part where it goes dub even though it's this crunchy mod song. But that's for another thread.

I have never been to or been involved with Radio Heartbeat.

it's a powerpop night in williamsburg (now at the charleston) that spun into a festival at Southpaw for four glorious days in 2007. milk 'n cookies, the speedies, pointed sticks, 20/20, nikki corvette, the neighborhoods all played--sort of an old fogies kind of thing, but they all really got into it--a bunch of younger powerpop bands played as well. lots of shout along choruses.

the record label re-issues a bunch of awesome stuff--including milk n cookies http://radioheartbeat.net/

I know what it is, just saying I've never been and wasn't involved!

"There's that Marty Thau comp...2x5, should be pretty easy to find, I think I have 2!"

Thanks as usual, Dan.
I think this compilation (or part of it) was released on cd with a different title, something like "Naked City Stories". I tried to find it but it is out of print.

Bloodless Pharaohs = Brian Setzer's contribution to art rock.

I did temp office work with someone from Nervus Rex when I was 18, so them.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

The Marbles - Red Lights

MUMPS - "Photogenia" (@ Kristian Hoffman's New York City loft)

Lance Loud (pre-MUMPS) "We Ended Up" (Filmed in early '70s at a Santa Barbara, CA television station.)

I certainly don't regret voting for The Mumps.

I want to hear Crocodile Tears again.

Good to see you again tonight, PW.

Make mine Mumps. I love the Nervus Rex LP too. Had never seen that Annie Golden video before!

If anyone besides me is interested in 49 minutes of archival Shirts footage, have at it:

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

missed this, but would've voted mink deville. putting him here seems kind of unfair tho, i thought he was huge

As I understand it, Marty Thau - a fixture on the CBGBs scene who most notably managed the New York Dolls and released the "Marty Thau Presents 2x5" that is referenced above, passed away.

I was introduced to him by David Scharff - a former member of The Student Teachers who worked with me at TVT Records who knew Thau from his time during the halcyon days of CBGBs. He came around a bit because he brought the label the "Groups Of Wrath" compilation featuring old tracks from The Ramones, New York Dolls, Suicide and others while I worked there.

He was a joy to talk to - he didn't care that I was just a kid in the warehouse, he spoke with me about the old days while I listened intently - and he recently friended me on Facebook where I enjoyed reading his thoughts on politics and pop culture. He was a very interesting guy who led an enviable life in so many ways. I wish I knew him better and am jealous of those who did.

I mentioned his passing on the ILE obit thread and others talked about him on a NY Dolls thread I think. I didn't realize till now the range of things the guy did, or the respect and love he received. RIP

Probably no one here cares, but ....

i care. thanks.

I care, sort of.

Do you have more to say about The Speedies?

i saw a speedies reunion at southpaw in, i think, 2007? seems like some of them have had hard lives.

i always forget what a good power pop album the tuff darts album is until i play a copy. i get one in every couple of years. its no Vibrators debut but its still good.

"all for the love of rock and roll" would have made a great kiss song.

I do have stuff to say about the Speedies. One of them used to live a block away from me on University Place. I accosted him, about six or seven years ago, saying "Hey, ... you were in the Speedies!" and he practically started crying. It was a bit awkward.

love let me take your foto by the speedies!
