Fanatic! I’m in Virginia Beach, VA. It feels like it’s going to be a hot and humid day. Last night we were in Baltimore, MD, which was great. I’ve had so many good times there. Ian MacKaye and Joe Lally were there. 

We’re over 100 shows into the year and so far, things seem to be going well. I was hoping for more autumn weather but I think now that we’re heading south, it’s back to the heat. It was good while it lasted. 

My tour dates

I’ve been getting a lot of great listening in before the shows. A lot of October favorites are back in play.

I’m so grateful to be out here with a show every night. I wish we could start the whole tour all over again next March and be out for another two years. 

We have a great October mix tape for you tonight. We start both hours with the Damned. I think I’m going to have to put this play list into my phone and drag it to the gym with me today. 

We hope you’re having an excellent October weekend and listening to a ton of music. Have a great time with all these tunes and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I’m sitting on the bus in Stroudsburg, PA. The show concluded a few hours ago. In about three hours, we’re heading for Fairfield, CT. The shows have been going great and it’s really cool to be back on the road, especially at this time of the year. 

Birthday Girl. I’m glad this happened. There’s a new band in Washington, DC called Birthday Girl. I got their music several weeks ago. I just found out they’ve put the tracks on Bandcamp. Cool band. I’m glad you can check out the songs so easily. https://birthdaygirlmusic.bandcamp.com/album/birthday-girl

Fanatic! A warm and overcast Saturday afternoon in Rutland, VT. The venue has a washing machine and dryer, so we’re all on laundry duty today. Road Manager Ward has a small turntable onboard, which affords us playback. We’re listening to a 1973 Don Cherry album he found today called Don Cherry & The Jazz Composer's Orchestra – Relativity Suite. I’ve never heard much 1970s Don Cherry, so this is great. 

Shows have been going well. We’re five in, I think. 

https://www.henryrollins.com/tour

I had an interesting listening experience yesterday preshow. I played one of those strange albums The Fall released in 1996 comprised out alternate mixes, outtakes and live tracks. They were Sinister Waltz, Fiend With A Violin and Oswald Defence Lawyer. All of them were released on Receiver Records. I wonder if it was Mark E Smith just handing over a bunch of unused tracks to Receiver and the label making the best of it. I haven’t heard these in a long time. I put on Fiend yesterday and rediscovered how cool it is. I’m going to have to check out one of the other two tonight. Recommended. 

For years, I’ve wanted to check out this ridiculous box set Robert Fripp released of King Crimson music years ago called The Road To Red. You can check out the contents here. 

https://www.discogs.com/master/628354-King-Crimson-The-Road-To-Red It’s several hours of live shows from 1974. I have a lot of them on bootleg CDs and LP but the official versions are bound to be quite an upgrade. I’m going to listen to a show a day. I’m four in so far and it’s been great. It’s pretty much the same set over and over but there’s a lot of improv happening and it’s King Crimson, so that’s good enough for me. 

The new Screensaver album Decent Shapes is really cool.

https://screensaver.bandcamp.com

Marnie Stern’s album The Comeback Kid isn’t out until November. It’s a long wait but will be worth it. I got an advance of the vinyl and it’s great. 

https://marniestern.bandcamp.com/album/the-comeback-kid

New Dion Lunadon coming soon. Systems Edge on In The Red

https://intheredrecords.com/products/dion-lunadon-systems-edge-lp?_pos=2&_sid=35079bf0a&_ss=r

There’s lots to look forward to. At this moment, I’m looking forward to a show at 1930 hrs. Into it!

We’ve got a great show lined up for you tonight. Details below. 

Have a great week and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I’m sitting in a tour bus, waiting to leave. It’s early Saturday morning. We’ll be on the road soon and if all goes according to plan, will arrive in Lexington, KY around 1000 hrs. The first show of the tour is tonight. 

These are the dates.

https://www.henryrollins.com/tour

On the tour, we’ll have two books, both of them are tour editions. One is a printing of my new book Sic that has a slightly different cover than the regular one. The version of Solipsist we have features a cover that’s a reversal in colors of the regular printing, again, this is just for the tour. I thought it would be cool to make exclusive editions just for the tour. 

The television is on in the front where I’m sitting and a Silverado truck ad just came on using Down On The Street from the Stooges album Fun House. I wasn’t watching the screen, it was the music that made my head snap up. It occurred to me only one person who played on that album is alive. I just wrote Iggy’s manager and let him know I saw the ad. That was cool but not as cool as whatever the car ad was that had The Fall track on it. That was surreal! All you need is a music supervisor who thinks differently and this kind of thing can happen. 

A few days ago, I was asked to make a list of my favorite ten albums of the year so far. Here they are in no particular order. 

Upchuck - Bite The Hand That Feeds  - Famous Class Records

Marnie Stern - The Comeback Kid - Joyful Noise

The Bobby Lees - Bellevue  - Ipecac

Osees - Intercepted Message  - In The Red

Lorelle Meets The Obsolete - Datura - Sonic Cathedral

Fake Names - Damage Done - Epitaph

Snooper - Super Snõõper - Third Man

Kid Congo Powers & The Near Death Experience – Live In St. Kilda - In The Red

Melenas - Ahora - Trouble In Mind

Devo - Art Devo 1973-1977 - Futurismo 

They’re all great but as far as the release that knocked me out the most was the Devo album. It’s a 3LP 1 7” set of previously unreleased Devo. Some of the tracks have been on bootlegs but these are from the source and they sound amazing. As I was on the third LP, it occurred to me that Devo was not only the bleeding edge of innovation but also the material the edge is cutting through. When you think of what their surroundings were when Mothersbaugh, Casale and the rest started out, it’s like they suddenly appeared. This is the most interesting gathering of early Devo tracks I’ve heard. There are others, like the Hardcore Devo albums, which are great but this is a one stand out. I’ve been a fan since the late 1970s when I first heard them. I dug Devo immediately. 

The new Marnie album is such a great return. It had been so long since the last album, I thought she was finished. I thought that was a shame as she’s so talented and her albums are such a blast. 

I’ve only had a chance to listen to the new Melenas Ahora album on vinyl one time. Great album. Looking forward to getting another chance to hear it later this year. 

I reckon most of not all of these are or will be available to check out on Bandcamp if you feel so inclined. Also, a band I just started listening to I think is cool is Cherry Cheeks. If you go to Bandcamp you can check them out. I’m looking forward to digging into both albums. 

Much later. Now on the bus in front of the venue. Beautiful day here in Lexington. 

Fanatic, we have a great show lined up for you tonight. Hopefully I have a good show lined up for the audience here. I’m on at 1930 hrs. I’ve been looking forward to starting these shows. Enough waiting. 

I hope you like the music!

Have a tremendous weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! It’s Friday night, 2232 hrs. I figured I’d get started on the notes early. I was at the mail pick up place earlier and got a few records that had come in. I’m spoiled for choice tonight. Over the last few days, I got into these. Great listening. 

The new Ruts DC album Electracoustic Volume 2 is so good! 

https://rutsdc.bigcartel.com/product/electracoustic-volume-two-vinyl

I wrote Mr. Segs a couple of nights ago and asked him to consider making Volume 3 sooner than later. Not only are the songs amazing in this format, you can really hear what excellent musicians the three of them are. 

Air Miami reissue

Me. Me. Me. By Air Miami (featuring Mark Robinson and Bridget Cross of Unrest) has been remastered and re-cut at 45 rpm over two 12” discs and sounds great. The non-LP track Pucker has been added. http://www.teenbeatrecords.com/items/177.html

Tonight, I started with Machine Gun Etiquette by the Damned and from there, a pretty good sounding copy of the first Stooges album, pressed in South Africa. 

With great anticipation, this was next up. 

Boris - Heavy Rocks 2LP set. 

I’m listening to the new 2LP pressing of the 2002 Heavy Rocks album by Boris. It was a CD only release until very recently. This is seriously happening. You might want to check this out. Good quality vinyl from Third Man. https://thirdmanrecords.com/products/heavy-rocks-2002

New Marnie Stern LP - The Comeback Kid

I was lucky enough to land an advance LP and it’s great from start to finish. It’s not out until early November but I don’t want you to forget about this one. It’s happening for pre-order right now. 

https://marniestern.bandcamp.com/album/the-comeback-kid

New Upchuck album

Bite The Hand That Feeds is the new Upchuck album. It releases on 10-13-23. It’s really good.

My shows are starting soon!

Solipsist

The printing we did of Solipsist went unexpectedly fast. I got a report from In The Records where we do our mail order out of and ITR main man Larry Hardy says as of this evening, we’re almost out. If you’re so inclined, you might want to check it out. https://www.twothirteensixtyone.com/collections/frontpage/products/solipsist

Kim Salmon And The Surrealists  - Rantings From The Book Of Swamp 2LP set

Finally this very cool Kim record gets a domestic release for those not all that into paying a ton on postage. https://intheredrecords.com/collections/store/products/untitled-aug20_22-23

Kid Congo Powers & The Near Death Experience – Live In St. Kilda LP

We didn’t get to any tracks from this one over the summer. It ended up being my favorite hot weather listen of this year. Great record I kept forgetting to bring to your attention. It’s on In The Red. The site says it’s still in the pre-order stage but that’s not true. It’s been out for months. Really worth checking out. https://intheredrecords.com/products/kid-congo-powers-the-near-death-experience-live-in-st-kilda?_pos=1&_sid=4320bfb91&_ss=r

Also, if you’ve not checked it out, Kid’s autobiography, Some New Kind Of Kick is really cool. 

https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/kid-congo-powers/some-new-kind-of-kick/9780306828027/?lens=hachette-books

Also, we’ve got a great batch of tunes lined up for you tonight. September listening is happening here! 

It’s late and I’m tired, so of course I’m going to the gym. It’s their fault they’re open 24/7. 

Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I hope you’re having a great September weekend, no matter where you are. I’ve been sitting on this information for weeks and now, finally, I can exhale. There is a great new record to check out. 

New Marnie Stern LP!!! Fanatic, this was the record I’ve been waiting to tell you about. It announced a couple of days ago. I’ve played it a few times and it’s really great. Brand new music from our good pal and sonic ally, Marnie Stern: The Comeback Kid. 

https://marniestern.bandcamp.com/album/the-comeback-kid

As I’ve told you too many times, it is never for me to divulge information on the release of a record before a band or label does so. I was sent the tracks for this record weeks ago and didn’t say a word to anyone. I was looking forward to when the label would be posting the Bandcamp information, which means the record is okay to announce here. So glad there’s a new Marnie record to play tracks from. 

There’s a new Vintage Crop 7”. I like this band. The tracks are great. 

https://vintagecrop.bandcamp.com/album/springtime?from=fanpub_fnb

New Melenas album. You might have noticed there’s a new Melenas LP called Ahora on Bandcamp from the great Trouble In Mind label. I don’t think there’s a bad second on it. We’ll be checking out every track of this one. It releases at the end of the month. https://melenas.bandcamp.com/album/ahora

Many years ago, I wrote a book called Solipsist. It’s been out of print for long time. We just made a run of it. All copies are signed. https://www.twothirteensixtyone.com/collections/frontpage/products/solipsist

I’ve got shows coming up. 

https://www.henryrollins.com/tour

Fanatic, you might remember last year, we started our first September show with the same song we’re starting tonight’s show with. I think it’s a perfect track to get things going. 

We have a great conceptual second hour. You might remember I told you how great the recent David Bowie release Divine Symmetry. The record is basically a new look at Bowie’s Hunky Dory album. I’ve been less than amazed at the recent Bowie projects like the remix of Station To Station, Lodger and The Man Who Sold The World. I think the mixes on Divine Symmetry are great and the best way to check them out wouldn’t be to play a song a week as we sometimes do, but to listen to the whole thing so you’ll be able to immerse yourself. It’s a great listening experience. 

If you’re in a part of the world that’s experiencing a holiday weekend, please be careful out there. Enjoy the show and STAY FANATIC!!!

I hope your summer was full of music live and otherwise. I’m sure the calendar says summer will be with us for awhile but for me, the fall starts on September 1, no matter the weather. We’ve got some great shows ready for you. 

Tonight, our last summer show, we have put together a great gathering of hot weather music. I don’t know what the weather’s like where you are but it’s currently 93F where I’m currently stationed with a tremendous amount of humidity. 

Have a great rest of your summer, we shall resume in September. 

Stay hydrated and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! We try to do this every August and to my recollection, I think we have for quite a few years. It’s our somewhat annual Case Of The Punks! show. Tonight’s entire show is dedicated to the music genre that shook the world!

Wow! That’s a lot of songs. I hope you not only get through them but have a great time doing it. 

While I can’t give you details, I wanted to let you know that at the end of the month, there’s an album that will be announced that we’ll be playing every track from. The label sent it to me yesterday and it made my day to know it will out near the end of the year. It’s not for me to talk about a record before the label or band announces but I will say there will be a great excuse to go to the record store this year, as if there hasn’t been enough already. So many cool records in 2023! This will be yet one more. Stoked doesn’t even begin to describe me about this one. 

Did you pick up on this 3LP by Les Rallizes Dénudés? 

Apparently, the vinyl is on its way to those who preordered and the digital was unleashed yesterday. Sounds great what I’ve been able to listen to so far. Can’t wait for the vinyl. There have been a lot of Les Rallizes Dénudés releases over the last several months. It’s about time Takashi Mizutani and his bandmates got more visibility. 

I’ve got tour dates starting next month. 

For this batch of shows, we’ve printed two books. The first is a run of my new book Sic. The cover is slightly different than the previous one and will be exclusive to the tour. We also printed a tour edition of a book I published in the last century called Solipsist. This edition has a few less typos and a cover also exclusive to the tour. I just finished signing all of them. 

It looks like California is in for some weather. Los Angeles isn’t built for heavy rainfall. I hope the state makes it through. 

Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic. I’m back from England and trying to not look like the shape of a plane seat. I had a great time at Rebellion and the two shows at Dingwalls. 

I opened my mail and saw my Water Machine 7” had arrived. That’s getting played asap. 

https://upsettherhythm.bandcamp.com/album/raw-liquid-power

Last night, with great interest I listened to the 2LP Black Editions reissue of Dispersion by High Rise. So great! Black Editions has gone from a cool announcement on the internet years ago to an amazing label to pay close attention to. https://highrise.bandcamp.com/album/dispersion

I’ve got tour dates starting next month.

Fanatic, we hope you enjoy tonight’s show. It’s a cool mix of new and old. Until next week, please keep tabs on your hydration and stay Fanatic.

Fanatic! I’m on a train heading from Preston down to London. Yesterday I was at the Rebellion Festival. I ran into Gaye Advert, TV Smith and Pete “Manic Esso” Haynes of the Lurkers. I’ve got two shows over the weekend at Dingwalls and then on Monday I’m back to the USA. I’ve got a lot more shows happening later in the year. https://www.henryrollins.com/tour

I’ve evened out from jet lag well enough to get everywhere I need to be on time. Doing these shows via trains, taxis and hotels is time consuming. I used to do weeks at a time like this through Europe and the USA. It’s not greatest way to grind through the hours but at this point, I’m used to it. 

A lot of new tunes on our show tonight. We’re always looking for different music to listen to. Terri Gender Bender’s new track is really cool. She’s always up to something. I hope you’ve had a chance to check out the Bellevue album by the Bobby Lees. I’m looking forward to what they’ll get up to next. 

Have you seen this? Pretty cool. High On Fire’s The Art of Self Defense has been remixed. I haven’t had the chance to fully absorb the differences but I’m looking forward to getting into it. I think all of their records are worth checking out. 

https://highonfire.bandcamp.com/album/the-art-of-self-defense-remixed-remastered

Hours later. Now in the backstage area of Dingwalls. So great to be back again. If you go out the back and to the left, you can see the wall the Clash stood next to for the photo on the cover of their first album. I’m on at 2015 hrs. Looking forward to it. 

A good show lined up for you. We hope you dig it. As I’m writing this, I’m listening to the Art Of Self Defense remix. Of course my audio source is not all that great but even through the small speakers, it sounds really good. 

Thanks for reading these notes and for tuning into the show. Have a great week and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! It’s early in the morning and I’ve been listening to great music. Two records stand out. You can check them on Bandcamp. 

From Finland - Tuusanuuskat

From China - The Offset: Spectacles

This is a perfect Bandcamp situation. You can check out the music for the right price. 

Snooper is playing tonight and I’m going! It will be my second time seeing them. They’re a great live band and their new album Super Snõõper is excellent. 

The new Osees album Intercepted Message is easily one of the best things they’ve ever done.

I have a lot of shows happening this year, including two club shows in London in a few days.

We have a great show lined up for you, Fanatic. I built this one over a few afternoons in New Zealand. I listened back to it earlier this week and I still like it. 

Maintain your hydration and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic. Back from Australia and New Zealand. I’m here for several days and then off again to England for three shows. 

The Snooper album Super Snõõper is out and it’s really good.

The reissue of Unrest’s Imperial F.F.R.R. sounds great and the vinyl is really cool too.

The new Mark Robinson / Trevor Kampmann collaboration Party Milk has rendered a good record called Your Problem As A Mountain.

Listened to both last night. Both Mark and Trevor are very interesting people and the two of them together is a perfect pairing. 

Here are the tour dates coming up in England and beyond. I’m going to try and make the two London club shows somewhat different than what I’ve been doing on this tour and rotate some other stories into the sets. 

You might note we’ve got a lot of Ruts songs in our second hour. It would be to acknowledge the passing of the band’s vocalist Malcolm Owen on July 14, 1980. We’ve listened to all these songs many times on the show. Ruts DC carries on and they’re a great band. 

Fanatic, I think we’ve got a great gathering of tunes assembled for you tonight. I listened to all of them from start to finish yesterday and I’m sold. We hope you have a great night of listening. Thanks for tuning in. 

Have a great week and stay Fanatic.

Fanatic! Not only is it the weekend but finally, I’m in a backstage area with heating. It’s been one cold room preshow after another. Glad to be able to move my hands. I’m in Wellington, New Zealand for the last show of the run and already I’m starting to miss it. The shows have been going well and it’s been a great time.

One thing that’s been an interesting challenge is we started the year in the winter with the factory-installed cold and dark. We got a break for a few weeks and then we came here, right in time for Australian/New Zealand winter. I’ve got three shows in England next month but then we’re back in the USA from mid September until mid November, so it will be autumn and back into the cold and dark.

I’m stoked on all the new music I’ve been able to put into the upcoming shows I’ve been working on before the shows every night. Cool bands new to our show be kicking in pretty soon. 

I’ve listening to the tracks that inform tonight’s show and I think we’ve got a good gathering of tunes lined up for you. 

I just switched from our show tonight to an incredible box set coming out in September on Cherry Red. It’s 10CD collection of Hawkwind live shows from the Space Ritual era. Most of it’s unreleased. We’ll be getting into this. I’ve been sampling tracks here and there and it sounds amazing. I’m listening to Orgone Accumulator right now and it’s happening big time. Lots of good music to look forward to!

Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I’m still in Australia and having a great time. I had some time to get to Repressed Records in Sydney and found a few bands I’d never heard of, which we’ll be getting into the show as soon as possible. 

It’s a great thing to be in Australia but it’s a challenging schedule. The geography is such to often make it quite an effort to get to the next show. Lots of airports and rental cars! It’s a lot of moves to get through just to make it the venue. We’re about a month in now and I’ve gotten used to being back in airports again. 

Here are the tour dates until the end of the year.

The Bobby Lees new album is great.

Tonight’s show will hopefully be a great soundtrack for your weekend. We’re preparing some really cool shows for you, lots of new music and some concept shows as well.

Have a great week and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Hello from Melbourne, Australia. This is the venue I’m in tonight.

I’m here tonight and tomorrow night.

I had a good day of record hunting at Vicious Sloth yesterday.

I always find something amazing there.

We’ve just announced shows for September, October and November.

Thanks to Richie at Strangeworld Records, here in Melbourne, we will have a lot of new bands to check out in the weeks upcoming. It will take us awhile to work the bands into the shows but we’ll get there. Richie turned me onto this cool group.

Heir Traffic

https://heirtraffic.bandcamp.com/album/no-hearth

Between the two visits I made to his shop, we’ve got a lot of new music to check out. I’ll be getting into these records as best I can to figure out what to get into the shows.

Shows have been going great. If you’ve never been to Australia, I can recommend it without hesitation. Melbourne is one of my favorite destinations. It’s basically winter here, so it’s a lot of overcast skies, cool to cold temperatures and rain. It’s been an interesting year, touring on and off for months in pretty much the same light cycle. In Europe we were in the winter and here we are again.

I hope you’ve been getting a lot of music played. Most of my listening has been in small rooms with a show looming. It’s great of course but somewhat distracted. Show days are like hanging out with a huge wave coming ever closer.

I built this show in Europe in different cold backstage areas. We hope you dig it.

Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! Hello from beautiful Brisbane, Australia. We’re well into the shows here and things are going great. I got back from the show last night and even though I was pretty beat, I found a vein of cool music and spent awhile listening and downloading. I’ll be putting the tracks into our August shows going forward. I have to work this far in advance because of all the shows I have coming up.

We’ve just announced the shows for September, October and November. 

Water Machine is a very cool band, easily checked out on Bandcamp.

https://upsettherhythm.bandcamp.com/album/raw-liquid-power

The new Lorelle Meets The Obsolete album Datura just came out. It’s great. 

https://obsoletelorelle.bandcamp.com/album/datura

Touring in Australia, while great, presents its challenges. The geography is such that there are a lot of airports and way too many days off for my liking. Our routine is often an early drive to an airport, return the rental car, get to the gate, onto the flight, get luggage, to the rental car place and onward. It’s a lot of corners to turn before we get to the venue but after a couple of weeks, it’s just what you do. For now, we’re camping out in Brisbane. We have a show tonight, about 90 minutes from here. Tomorrow, we’re back for the third Brisbane show. 

Australia is an incredible place, some of the views are not to be believed. It’s winter here now, so the weather is cool and dry for the most part. We were in Darwin, Alice Springs and Cairns recently and it was quite warm but from here on out, it’s going to be like mid autumn in the USA. Interesting weather for June. 

As I’m writing this, I’m listening to tracks to our show. I think it’s a good one. As I remember, I worked on this one in Europe in cold backstage areas with summer on my mind. It was an interesting bit of projection to get the mood right but hopefully it will be a good soundtrack. 

I have to get packed up and out of here. I'll be back in this room in about twelve hours. Australia on a Saturday night, should be lively. 

Have an excellent weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic! I’m presently in Darwin, Australia. Sunny and hot. Shows have been going well. Last night we were in Alice Springs, a beautiful part of the country. Every part of Australia I’ve ever been to is pretty amazing. After tonight’s show, we head to Cairns. These are the rest of the dates. 

I like doing shows in Australia but travel can be challenging. We’re often in two airports a day, checking out of one hotel and into another. We often spend a good part of the day just getting to soundcheck. In a few days, things will even out a little as we’ll be doing multiple nights in some places. I’m hoping to get to some record stores in the next few weeks. 

I seemed to have evened out from jet lag pretty quickly but I suspect I’m due for a sucker punch of some kind as it was so easy this time around, there has to be a catch. 

Boris and the Melvins are touring together. How great is that going to be?! You might need to bring an extra set of ears. 

Hours later. The show is done. I’m up in a few hours to head for the airport. We have a great show lined up for you. The more you listen, the better it gets. 

Have a great weekend and STAY FANATIC!!!

Fanatic. Hello from Perth Australia. So great to be back. One of the first things I did after landing in Melbourne a few days ago was schedule a visit to Strangeworld Records. Richie Ramone runs a great shop. He’s the reason why we’ve had so many great Australian bands on our show over the years. As I’d hoped, Richie had a great stack of records to play for me and I emerged hours later with quite a few which we’ll get into later in the summer. https://www.strangeworldrecords.com.au

On Friday, I had a long day of press and one of the interviews was on Michael Mulholland’s show Junkyard on 106.7 PBS. I haven’t seen Michael since I was here in 2016. He’s got a great show and just as he did in 2016, he switched me on to a few more bands I’d never heard of. I found the records and we’ll be getting into them as well as soon as possible. https://www.pbsfm.org.au/program/junkyard

 I got to meet members of Blonde Revolver at Triple R, which was really cool. I was on a show there called Neon Sunset, hosted by Annaliese. https://www.rrr.org.au/explore/programs/neon-sunset/ She’s got a band called Lothario. We’ll be getting into tracks from their 7” soon. https://lotharioxx.bandcamp.com/album/drunk-fuck-black-hair-single

The prospect of such a large amount of new music coming into the show is very exciting. We’re always looking for new music to bring into the show and a trip to Australia always supplies. There’s a lot of record stores yet to be checked out on this run, so hopefully this is just the start. 

In a breathtaking communication breakdown, I wasn’t alerted about the new Bobby Lees album Bellevue which came out last year (ow!). We would have been playing it since then. It’s really great. https://thebobbylees.bandcamp.com/album/bellevue

Algy Ward, bassist from the Damned’s Machine Gun Etiquette era has passed away. It’s a great album which I hope you have. Seeing him play with the Damned in 1979 was a highpoint for me. 

As always, Fanatic, we’ve got what you will hopefully find to be a great two hours of listening as we settle in for the long bake of summer. More next week. 

My Australian dates start this week.

Hydrate with care and stay Fanatic.

Fanatic. This is a bit of a different show than we usually have for you. For tonight, it’s Garage Rock from the last century. Below tonight’s track list, I put in the notes I made. Maybe they’ll be of use to you. 

I don’t know much about any of these bands but I like these tracks. Talk about some rare vinyl! Some of 7”s these tracks come from are all but impossible to locate. Good thing for all the cool compilation albums out there. 

Fanatic, I searched my emails and I can’t find the Fanatic who kindly steered me to a band called Helen and their album The Original Faces. Helen has Liz Harris from Grouper. I went to Discogs and listened to one of the tracks for a minute or two and was totally into it. I got a copy of the LP and the 7” as well. I think those tracks are off the LP. I got a chance to listen to the album a few nights ago. Perfect warm weather listening. I was thinking maybe we should listen to the entire album maybe later in the summer. A track on its own might be good but it could be the best way to check it out would be to listen to it from start to finish. 

Also, here’s the Bandcamp address.

I think I told you last week I was listening to the A Divine Symmetry album. It’s basically, a remix of David Bowie’s Hunky Dory. Over the last few years, the revisiting of Lodger, Station To Station and The Man Who Sold The World (titled Metrobolist (Nine Songs By David Bowie)) did not convince me they were completely worthwhile projects. I’d like to recommend A Divine Symmetry on LP. The album includes Bombers, which sounds amazing. Actually, the whole album is incredible. If you like the Hunky Dory album, this is absolutely worth checking out. 

My Australian dates start soon.

It’s sad to say goodbye to the great Tina Turner. Also, I think you should know that Mark Adams, bass player for the mighty Saint Vitus passed away a few days ago. What a great band. I’m grateful I got to see them play so many times. 

We hope you like tonight’s concept show. I’ll be working on new shows for us to check out while I’m in Australia and New Zealand. We’ll keep it going. 

Have a great week and stay Fanatic.

–– Henry
