![]() ![]() The Whiskey show is a little special because it has the rare songs Night Ride and Flames Of Evil plus an Eddie Cochran cover and also an extended jam on I Want In. I only have these two songs from this Mab show and have never been able to track down the complete show. Here's three more Avengers shows from 1978. We Are The Old Waldorf, San Francisco 6-13-79 Ġ1. Car Mabuhay Gardens, San Francisco 5-23-79 ġ1. The sound quality here is good.īrad Kent interview here: Geary Temple, San Francisco 3-24-79 Ġ9. The Old Waldorf show is a radio broadcast and tracks 3 to 11 have been officially released on the The American In Me CD so you should buy it for the superior sound quality. The Geary and Mab shows are both audience recordings so the quality is a little rough but still listenable. On the Geary Temple show the play the rare song Lonely Girl plus a Velvet Underground cover. On all these shows they are playing new songs co-written with Brad Kent. Tomorrow Was The Hereafter (unreleased version)Īt the end of 1978 original Avengers guitarist left and was replaced by Brad Kent from Vancouver Canada who had been a past member of D.O.A. The live show was recorded from the audience and is a bit raw but listenable.Ġ4. The quality of all the demos is very good. Hans Wärmling also plays guitar on these songs. Three songs - Wasted, Strange Little Girl, My Young Dreams (different recording than what's here) from the 1974 demo have been officially released on the The Early Years 74-75-76 Rare Live & Unreleased CD so I didn't include them here. Hyde (Sensible vocals)īy request here are some Stranglers demos, and I've topped the post off with an early 1977 live show. Smash It Up (different lyrics - Sensible vocals)ġ0. There are a few interesting unreleased tracks and some untitled instrumentals that don't seem to have been used for anything. This time we have some of the Captain's demos from the years c.1978 to 1982 - Machine Gun Etiquette to Strawberries. The rehearsal tape gives us a few extra songs that haven't been heard much before. The Raw Records session here is the one the single came from but I think these are different mixes and there is talking between songs by the engineer and the band. In that time they also managed to record two John Peel Sessions. Only one other song was officially released before they split up in mid-1978. The Killjoys were from Birmingham England and in 1977 released a classic Punk single on Raw Records. If The Kids Are Radio 4, Stockholm 8-04-80 Sham interview here: Hurrahs, NYC 12-05-79 ġ6. The Stockholm show is from a Swedish Radio broadcast that was recorded not too long before the split up and is great quality. It's rough on quality and the right channel drops out half way through but it sounds like it was a great gig and well anticipated. Here is the New York show as recorded from the audience by the legendary Donnie The Punk. In 1979, after much visa problems, Sham 69 finally played two shows in the USA, one in New York and the other in Los Angeles. The Jerks recording from this show is officially released on their We Hate You CD and there is a tape of the Sham 69 set floating around. On the Vortex gig The Crabs played with Sham 69, Jerks and Mirrors. Two of the songs on the ep sound more in league with The Crabs than any Heavy Metal sound. Zorro was considered a part of the emerging New Wave Of British Heavy Metal scene and released one ep in 1979. The band split up in July 1978 and the lead guitarist Ronnie "Rocker" Newson and drummer Ricci Titcombe joined Zorro. No record has ever surfaced so it is believed that it was never released. In 1978 they signed to Lightning Records and were supposed to release an ep with the songs Victim, Blue Unction and Save My Skin. ![]() Also, some websites finally started to write about and supply loads of information of the Crabs history. Sometime in the last 10 years the Vortex show and Peel Session began to make the rounds of the trade circles and it was quite a joy to get a hold of these in order to finally be able to hear more music by The Crabs. I never knew until the 1990s that this band was in fact the Crabs. I thought it wan an okay Punk single but nothing outstanding. At about the same time period I bought the Fulham Furies single. As far as I knew the Crabs never released anything else. In those years it was nearly impossible to find out any info on those smaller bands that seemed to only release one song on some comp LP or maybe a single before disappearing into obscurity. I thought every song on it was great but my favorite one was the Crabs Lullabies Lie. In 1979-1980 I bought the album Farewell To The Roxy and listened to it endlessly. ![]()
