Epysode 22: Parish Hall by Parish Hall. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. Ah yes, the "Power Trio". So many famous ones come to mind...The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Blue Cheer, Rush...the list goes on and on. But in this epysode, we dive into a NOT so famous one. Very little is known about the band Parish Hall. They only recorded the one album, but it's a beauty. If you like early 70's blues-rock, this one is going to hit home for you.

EPYSODE 15: Dragonfly by Dragonfly. Guest: Dragonfly guitarist Randy Russ. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". Hooking up with a couple of managers from California, they thought they were on their way to the big time. But while the band was living off a $12/day allowance, the managers were getting their cars reupholstered and buying custom-made alligator briefcases.  They released one album as The Legend - a mediocre effort of cover tunes and songs from outside musicians thanks to decisions made by the management team. For the second time out though, it was a different story. Given creative freedom, they created a monster, guitar-centric, psychy-blues/rock gem. But continued battles with management resulted in the band breaking up before the album was even released. The label decided to release it under a new name ("Dragonfly"), with no band information on the cover. And just after it was released, the record company closed shop. An album by a defunct band with no record label released in a sleeve with no band information was destined to sink without a trace. One fantastic review at the time wasn't enough to save this one from obscurity.  If you like your 60's rock loud, hard and heavy, crank it up and check this one out. Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you dig "Dragonfly" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X here --> @VinylRelicsPod Email me here --> farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com ===LINKS=== You can read an article about the story of this band and album at The Psychedelic Scene here: ⁠ https://psychedelicscene.com/2024/10/09/psychedelic-relics-dragonfly-by-dragonfly/   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured ( *denotes track is not available on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5It8pIh52lw3XyAIleN6Ga?si=3W9M4GzQT_mhfaixFPlocw   GARY HIGGINS “Thicker Than A Smokey” *THE LORDS OF LONDON (U.S. version) “Broken Heart C.O.D.” *THE BUNDY’S “I Don’t Need You” MIKE RENOLDS AND THE INFANTS OF SOUL “When Will I Find You” *THE LORDS OF LONDON (Canadian version) “Within Your Mind” *THE LEGEND “The Kids are Alright” *THE LEGEND “Cold Wind in August” *THE LEGEND FEATURING MIKE KELLY “I Like the Little Girls” THE LEGEND “Portrait of Youth” (Credited on Spotify to Dragonfly) THE LEGEND “Enjoy Yourself” (Credited on Spotify to Dragonfly) DRAGONFLY “Blue Monday” DRAGONFLY “Enjoy Yourself” DRAGONFLY “Hoochie Coochie Man” DRAGONFLY “I Feel It” DRAGONFLY “Trombodo” DRAGONFLY “Portrait of Youth” DRAGONFLY “Crazy Woman” DRAGONFLY “She Don’t Care” DRAGONFLY “Time Has Slipped Away” DRAGONFLY “To Be Free” DRAGONFLY “Miles Away” *JIMMY CARL BLACK WITH BIG SONNY AND THE LO BOYS “Sick and Tired” ??

EPYSODE 14: Red Hash by Gary Higgins. Guest: Gary Higgins. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". Here's the scenario: you've been convicted of a crime and have only a few weeks before you begin to serve your jail sentence. What would YOU do with that time? For Gary Higgins, that answer was simple: corrale your musical buddies and knock out a fantastic psychedelic-folk album. No time for rehearsal, just get in the studio, quickly work out the tunes and get 'em down. Gary had just enough time to complete the recordings before he changed his address to the Conneticut State Penitentiary. His pals completed the mixing, mastering, cover design and got a few hundred copies pressed. And then it sank into obscurity for decades... After completing his sentence Gary rebuilt his life, focusing on his family and his job as a nurse. "Red Hash" was in the rear view mirror...or so he thought. Decades later he started noticing his "lost classic" was commanding huge dollars. A push by Drag City Records to find Gary finally paid off and almost 40 years after quickly recording an album that hardly anyone heard, "Red Hash" got a proper re-release briging much deserved attention and critical acclaim to his music. It even allowed him to record a follow up album.

EPYSODE 13: Fully Qualified Survivor by Michael Chapman. Guests: Andru Chapman, Bridget St. John & Steve Gunn. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". In this Epysode we delve into the career of an artist that spanned 5 decades, who recorded more than 50 albums, was adored by generations of musicians and who critics fawned over...yet hardly anyone knows his name. Michael was an immensely skilled guitarist and an excellent songwriter who released album after album to critical acclaim. Even his last albums - more than 50 years after his debut were considered among his best. Here was an artist who never settled, continually pushing musical boundaries...maybe that's why he remained on the fringes.  "Fully Qualified Survivor" is universally considered his best album and we dive into it track by track, though an artist with this body of work has to be explored further, so we also make pit stops throughout the rest of his amazing career too. Michael Chapman is a name most people have never heard of and that's a shame, as I can't think of another artist with this amount of incredible work who is more deserving of recognition. Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you dig "Fully Qualified Survivor" and the rest of Michael's incredible career as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X here --> @VinylRelicsPod Email me here --> farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com ===LINKS=== I used portions of two interviews with Michael for the show. The first was by UK Rock History, and you can hear the full interview here: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N190mQheNyM⁠ The second was by Secret Records Limited and you can also hear that full interview here: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1MBhckOTLo   ===THE MUSIC=== Songs used in this Epysode, in order of appearance. Here's a link to a Spotify playlist for all the tracks featured ( *denotes track is not available on Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4TrYk3aWbSHRb8cMBxOFGy?si=7ab618e97809468b THE ROSE GARDEN “Next Plane to London” MICHAEL CHAPMAN “Rainmaker” MICHAEL CHAPMAN “No One Left to Care” BRIDGET ST.

EPYSODE 12: The Rose Garden by The Rose Garden. Guests: Rose Garden bandmembers John Noreen and Bill Fleming. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". Mid 60's Los Angeles; a band called "The Blokes" were knocking out their versions of Beatles and note-for-note, immaculate copies of Byrds songs when a chance meeting with Gene Clark - who had just left the Byrds culminates with him joining the teenagers on stage for a couple of tunes. Next thing you know, he's giving them some of his songs and writes one specifically for them to record. He even considers managing them at one point.  Adding a new lead singer, they change their name and record one folk-rock gem that spawns a hit and an appearance on American Bandstand. The future looks bright, but some poor management decisions combined with Uncle Sam's draft notices derails their momentum and we're left only with the one album and a follow up single.  With help from Rose Garden guitarist John Noreen and bassist Bill Fleming, we dive into this self-titled 1968 folk-rock beauty.

EPYSODE 11: Back In The HCA by The Bowes Road Band. Guests: All 4 Bowes Road Band Members - Alan Lewis, Phil Rawle, Dave Pescod, Ted Rockley plus Jakarta Records label co-owner Jannis Stürtz. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". In a Rodriguez-like tale, we hear how an album recorded 50 years earlier for a school project gets discovered in the unlikliest of places by the one person who can make a story like this happen. This "band" didn't even have a name until 2023, and now hundreds of thousands of people have streamed their album and bought vinyl copies. From an original private press of 50 copies to international attention, it's an amazing story about a wonderful album their creators made and then for all intents and purposes completely forgot about for 50 years. With help from all four band members and the record label owner, we hear this incredible two-part story: the unbelievable fortune the band had to even get the album recorded in the first place and then the even more unbelievable tale of how it was discovered decades later. "It's like digging up a time capsule", the band says. As great as the story is...the music is even better! BONUS: With approval from the band and record label, we are also happy to include a track left off the reissue, playing it in it's entirety here, making it the world-wide exclusive premeire of the track!

EPYSODE 10: Heritage by Christmas. GUEST: Christmas bandleader Bob Bryden. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". Welcome to Canada, eh! We’ve showcased albums from around the globe but this time out it’s an all Canadian affair as we discuss the incredible career of Bob Bryden. From his early teen days as the “accidental musician” to his time with Reign Ghost and the formation of Christmas, “I wanted to start my dream band”. We dig into each track of their fantastic 1970 album "Heritage" and discuss their follow up "Lies to Live By" and the ultimate dissolution of the band. Bob’s story doesn’t end there though as we then chat about his other bands and his solo career as well as his time producing one of Canada’s premier punk bands. He’s had a fascinating life in music with many great albums along the way.

EPYSODE 08: Fuchsia by Fuchsia. Guest: Fuchsia bandleader Tony Durant. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". Exeter University, 1971. Hearing classical music played in lunchtime concerts sparks a creative idea for a young student who decides "I can do that!". Corralling 5 classmates, they help develop his uniquely written songs melding rock with classical instrumentation. Together they record a brilliant album that goes completely unnoticed. Without an opportunity to record a follow up, the band split and the album is forgotten...until 40 years later when it makes a suprise comeback re-igniting the career of their songwriter and bandleader, kickstarting an unlikely "Act II" of the Fuchsia story. A fantastic interview with Tony Durant who helps tell the story of this amazing album.  Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics.

EPYSODE 07: The Fabulous Wailers by The Wailers. Guest: Wailers guitarist Neil Andersson. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". In this epysode we go WAY back...all the way to the start of what we now call "Garage Rock". Many music scholars point to The Wailers as being the first true Garage Rock band. My guest Neil Andersson has a very unique perspective on the band. Before he joined, he was a fan! He would play along to Wailers albums having no idea that one day he would have the good fortune to join them. He tells the story about being nervous for his first gig with the band opening for the Everly Brothers in front of 2000 fans...with no rehearsal! The Wailers version of 'Louie Louie' became the template for all others to follow, including the most well known version by the Kingsmen (they even copied the yelp before the solo). These guys even started their own label (as teenagers!) and released the first albums by The Sonics.  It's a fascinating story about a fantastic band that was pivotal in influencing so many acts to follow. You like Hendrix's "Spanish Castle Magic"?

EPYSODE 06: Heya! by J.J. Light. Guest: J.J. Light (aka Jim Stallings). Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". In this epysode we hear the tale of how an American artist recorded an album featuring songs about his Navajo background, with the title track becoming a smash hit in Europe...yet inexplicably the record company decided not to release the album in North America. What?!? The album was recorded with a huge budget and had most of The Wrecking Crew as session musicians, which automatically means you are in for a good time. J.J. Light was an artist that should have gone on to more fame and fortune, but as it turns out success was his biggest failure.

EPYSODE 21: Beginning From An End by Fairweather. Guest: Andy Fairweather-Low. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. When you're in a band that has had a string of smash hits, it's not easy to walk away. But that's exactly what Andy Fairweather-Low did when he said goodbye to Amen Corner, who were at the peak of their game scoring a #1 and several other top 10 hits. Andy wanted to move from just singing to playing guitar and he wanted to write more of his own material. Thus from the end of Amen Corner came the beginning of Fair Weather. They released two albums in the early 70's taking in influences from American soul combined with the English psych and prog sounds they were surrounded by. Andy of course went on to a very successful career with solo albums and working on a host of amazing projects as a sideman for the stars. And he's still going, still releasing great music.

EPYSODE 05: Riley, Riley, Wood & Waggett by Shape Of The Rain. Guests: Ian ("Tag") Waggett, Shape of the Rain drummer; David McPhie, Shape of the Rain band manager; with additional audio excerpts used with permission of Keith Riley, Shape of the Rain singer/guitarist/songwriter. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". A SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT THIS EPYSODE: The Shape of the Rain epysode was completed a few weeks ago. I had intended to release it earlier than this, however on the day before it was set to be published news broke that Keith Riley had passed away. I made the decision to leave the epysode as is, recorded when Keith was still alive. I felt re-editing would take away from the story. Instead I added a short prologue to commemorate Keith's life. He was an extraordinary talent and I can only hope my love for his music comes across in this epysode. I love this band, I love this album and I love Keith's songwriting. RIP Keith, you will be missed. In this epysode, we learn how this fantastic UK band was influenced by the West Coast sounds of Love, HP Lovecraft etc. to create a unique sound all their own. With excellent songwriting from band leader Keith Riley, they incorporated 12 string guitars with a pedal steel - very unusual for a psychedelic band to use at that time.  Shape of the Rain played with EVERY major band of the day. Only releasing one album in their lifetime, it's the classic tale of a band who had all the components to be major stars. However fate it seems had other plans. I hope you dig "Riley, Riley, Wood & Waggett" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X here --> @VinylRelicsPod Email me here --> farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com ===LINKS=== A recent reissue of their lone album is a great addition for fans as it includes not only a remastered version of the album, but a plethora of fantastic unreleased tracks plus a complete live album.

EPYSODE 04: A Gathering Of Promises by Bubble Puppy. Guest: Bubble Puppy drummer David Fore. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". In this epysode we learn how this Texan band came swinging right out of the gates with a smokin' hit in 1969. After some unfortunate record company shenanigans they were forced to move to another label and change their name to Demian. One album later and with a promising future ahead, it all falls apart. "It was stupid. Don't ever be in a band!", David said jokingly. We also end the debate as to which album is better - "A Gathering of Promises" or "Demian". David also assists in my pronunciation!

EPYSODE 03: Mighty Baby by Mighty Baby. Guest: Mighty Baby's Ian Whiteman. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". In this epysode, we hear how the UK mod/soul-inspired band The Action - who were produced by none other than George Martin - morphed into Mighty Baby. Vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Ian Whiteman joins the show to talk about his memories of his days with this fascinating band that is often cited as "England's Grateful Dead" due to the improvisational elements of their live shows, which culminated as the closing act on day one of 1970's famous Isle of Wight festival in front of 600,000 people. "People compared us the Grateful Dead, but not really. We were more structured", Ian said. Ian shares some great stories about his bandmates, the songs and who was influencing them ("The Byrds had a seismic effect"). We do a track analysis, see what the critics had to say and of course we hear from Uncle Herff.

EPYSODE 20: Sussex by Bent Wind. Guests: Bent Wind band members Marty Roth and Ed Thomas. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". When the Beatles hit, bands started cropping up everywhere. Sure, the most successful groups came from the US or the UK, but that doesn't mean smaller countries weren't immune to "cool". Bands from these areas had a difficult time breaking through as they were on smaller labels, with smaller budgets and a reluctance from American radio at the time to take a chance on playing "outsider" music. As a result we have a ton of high quality albums that never achieved any level of commercial success at the time of their release, but now are considered classics. Bent Wind's "Sussex" falls into that category. In 1969 the Canadian band couldn't give them away. Now original copies fetch over $10,000. If you like your psych hard and heavy, this ramshackle album is going to be right up your alley.  Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics. I hope you enjoy "Sussex" as much as I do. - Farmer John ===CONNECT & SUPPORT=== Transport yourself into the realm of grooviness by supporting us on Patreon using this link --> patreon.com/FarmerJohnMusic Use this link to follow us on Facebook --> https://www.facebook.com/farmerjohnmusic/ Use this link to follow us on Instagram --> https://www.instagram.com/vinylrelics/ Use this link to follow us on TikTok --> https://www.tiktok.com/@vinylrelicspodcast Use this link to follow us on BlueSky --> https://bsky.app/profile/farmerjohnmusic.bsky.social And find us on X here --> @VinylRelicsPod Email me here --> farmerjohnmusic@gmail.com ===LINKS=== With permission, I used a portion of the podcast "The Ongoing History of New Music with Alan Cross" in this episode.

EPYSODE 19: Psychedelic Lollipop by The Blues Magoos. Guest: Blues Magoos singer/guitarist Peppy Castro. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". At the tender age of 14, Peppy Castro was taught the famous E minor chord on an acoustic guitar. "The minute I played that chord, it was like the heavens opened up". He left home, dropped out of school and pursued a different path. A chance meeting introduces him to Ronnie Gilbert and Ralph Scala and the seeds for The Blues Magoos were planted. "We Ain't Got Nothing Yet" is ubiquitous with 60's American garage/psych rock. It's two minutes of rock 'n' roll perfection. The rest of the "Psychedelic Lollipop" album proves that these guys - kids really - had some serious skill. This record is a mix of fantastic originals along with choice covers.  Sadly all momentum was lost when their first single from their follow up album was banned. One more fantastic LP followed before band politics reared its ugly head. What we are left with is some incredible music highlighted by this killer album - a necessity for any collection.

EPYSODE 18: Songs For The Gentle Man by Bridget St. John. Guest: Bridget St. John. Additional commentary by Auntie V. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". When the most famous DJ in the world champions you and decides to open a record label specifically to record and market your music, well, you're doing something right. Bridget St. John's name may not be as widely known as some of her British folk contemporaries, but her music is deserving of attention for any fan of the genre. Recording her first three albums for John Peel's Dandelion label between 1969 and 1972 she released consistently high quality work, garnering excellent reviews. A fourth album followed for Chrysalis a couple years later and then...silience. Nothing for 20 years. After a long delay, she's back recording and touring again and sounding better than ever. Bridget recalls stories of meeting John Martyn, playing with Michael Chapman, recording demos at Al Stewart's house, hearing David Bowie's acetate of a famous song before it was released and being in an uncomfortable car ride with Jethro Tull when they fired Mick Abrahams.  It's a shame Bridget's work didn't find a wider audience as her songwriting and guitar skills are only outshined by her exquisite voice.

EPYSODE 17: Out Of Nowhere by Henry Schifter. Guest: Henry Schifter. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". Here we have yet another album by a one-and-done artist. Henry was an American guitarist who released a few singles with a few labels in the sixties. He finally got the opportunity to record a full-length album in 1971, though he had to go to France to do it. He recorded a strong album, and one that should have warranted some follow ups but it never came to pass.  Henry shares some great stories about the recording of the album, his run-in with Johnny Rivers (spolier alert: he didn't like him) and a great tale that includes a cool looking belt, a pistol and weed. What a rock and roll trifecta! Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics.

EPYSODE 16: 20 Granite Creek by Moby Grape. Guest: Moby Grape drummer Don Stevenson. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. *This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics". Of all the great 60’s bands that came from the San Francisco area, Moby Grape may have been the best. Their 1967 debut album stands tall among the other giants released that year. Bad luck, terrible management decisions and a record company gaffe for the ages derailed all their momentum (wait until you hear Don’s ‘record company executive’ impression!). By 1969 they had called it quits. But they got the itch to get back together and record a standout album in their discography...the rare “reunion album” that’s actually good. Take a trip with Don and I as we discuss the formation, the demise, the-reformation, the demise, the re-reformation...well, you get the idea - of one of the greatest bands of the 1960’s and as we dive into each track of this wonderful yet underrated gem.

This acid folk gem has intrigued vinyl collectors for years, with its ethereal melodies and captivatingly strange atmosphere. Despite its cult status, very little is known about the artists themselves — who they were, where they came from, or even how they came to record this enigmatic album.

EPYSODE 42: Before The Dream Faded by The Misunderstood. Guest: Misunderstood lead singer Rick Brown. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we turn the spotlight on one of the most tragic stories of the psychedelic era... The Misunderstood. Formed in Riverside, California and exiled to London in the mid-'60s, The Misunderstood fused American garage rock with British psychedelia, creating a sound that was years ahead of its time. With searing slide guitar, political lyrics, and sonic ambition to spare, their music foreshadowed both heavy rock and acid experimentation and yet, they faded before they could truly rise. We’re joined by guest Rick Brown, the band’s original lead singer, who shares powerful firsthand stories about the band's creative vision, their turbulent rise, and the circumstances that tore them apart just as they were poised for greatness. It's one of the most fascinating “what coulda been” stories in rock history. Thanks for tuning in, turning on & dropping by Vinyl Relics.

EPYSODE 41: In The Beginning by Genesis. Guest: Genesis bassist "Foxy" Fred Rivera. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we dig into one of the great overlooked curiosities of late-‘60s American rock: "In the Beginning" by the Los Angeles-based Genesis — not the British prog giants, but a raw, garage-psych outfit that burned bright and fast in 1968. With its blend of fuzzed-out guitars, moody organ lines, and Sunset Strip attitude, this epysode uncovers why this album has become a cult favorite among psych-rock collectors and crate diggers alike. We’re joined by  guest Fred “Foxy” Rivera, the original bassist of the band, who shares exclusive firsthand stories from inside the L.A. scene, the band’s short-lived journey, and what really went down behind the recording of their one and only album. Tune in, turn on & drop by to discover the "other" Genesis...

Epysode 40: Bored Civilians by Keith Cross & Peter Ross. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. This week we unearth a hidden gem from the early '70s . A one-off collaboration between two underground talents, this hauntingly beautiful album blends British folk, progressive rock, and melancholy songwriting in ways that still resonate today. We explore the unique alchemy between Cross’s intricate guitar work and Ross’s introspective lyricism, unpack the album’s short-lived legacy, and consider why this obscure release has earned cult-classic status among collectors and audiophiles.

EPYSODE 39: Here Are The Sonics!!! by The Sonics. Guests: Sonics drummer Bob Bennett and filmmaker Jordan Albertsen. Additional commentary by What Wave Dave. NOTE: Sadly, I was not aware that my guest Bob Bennett had passed until this epysode was released. Bob's drumming was ferocious, and a key to the Sonics' sound. He shared some great stories and I really enjoyed our discussion. This represents likely the last interview he gave about his time with this amazing band. My sincere condolences to the Bennett family for your loss. You'll be missed Bob, you were one of the greats. Thank you for giving us, your fans, the gift of your timeless music. Rest in peace... - John Crank up the volume, it's time for "Here Are The Sonics!!!", the ferocious 1965 debut from Tacoma’s own The Sonics, a band whose sound was decades ahead of its time. We’re joined by Bob Bennett, the band’s original drummer, and Jordan Albertsen, writer/director of "Boom! A Film About The Sonics", for exclusive commentary and behind-the-scenes stories. Together, we dive into the legacy of this seminal album, its influence on garage, grunge, and punk—and ask the big question: Were The Sonics the first punk band?

Known for their all-black attire and snarling, hypnotic sound, The Music Machine helped define the garage rock era with hits like “Talk Talk” and “The People In Me.” We’re joined by  guest Mark Landon, the band’s guitarist, who shares exclusive behind-the-scenes stories from the recording sessions, insights into their creative process, and what it was like to be part of one of the most influential — and underrated — acts of the ‘60s.

EPYSODE 44 (pt. 1): Back To The Egg by Wings. Guest: Wings' guitarist Laurence Juber. Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. Rules are meant to be broken. I couldn't help myself. I know I said that I would be discussing "under-the-radar" types of albums on this show. So why am I featuring an album that sold 4 million copies, won a grammy, and whose bandleader just so happens to be Sir Paul McCartney?!? 'Cuz I love this one!! Many critics (and some fans) have a different opinion of this record. These are the people I like to call...wrong. "Back To The Egg" has divided music listeners for over 4 decades now. With some wonderful commentary from Wings' guitarist Laurence Juber, we break down the songs to explain why this really IS a fantastic album.

EPYSODE 45 (pt. 1): Hollywood Dream by Thunderclap Newman. Guest: Mark Wilkerson, author of "Hollywood Dream: The Thunderclap Newman Story". Additional commentary by Uncle Herff. If you can't beat 'em...ask 'em to be on your show. I thought I was the only Thunderclap Newman fanatic (Thunderhead? Newmanhead??). When I came up with the ingenious idea of interviewing Pete Townshend, my theory was that he was probably so sick of answering the same old questions about The Who and his solo career that he would welcome chatting about this band that he put together and the album he produced. Turns out, I was right. Little did I know however that someone else was already talking to Pete about this very subject, and was delving deep to uncover the story of this almost forgotten band. Who better than to have on the show then the guy Pete says "knows more about Thunderclap Newman than I do". This epysode dives into the story of the unlikely characters that make up this utterly unique band, their fascinating album and the amazing journey author Mark Wilkerson took to write his compelling book.
