The sixth show in the 8-week Gulls Window Circus series ‘Double punk’, which plays two songs from each band, with two bands in a set. This week starts with David Peel & Death and ends with Sex Pistols. Future paisley underground (as The Three O’Clock) stars Salvation Army show how they belong in a punk show, and from the other direction, hardcore band Scared Straight backtrack from HC to punk. If you are a Dwarves fan, Penetration Moon do Heartbreakers and Dead Boys covers. If you are a fan of The Nightingales, hear their precursor band The Prefects. Elementary school could be the only precursor for The Prats, who win the award as youngest Gulls Window Circus band. When we finish the Double punk series we will hear Zoom, which has members of The Viletones and The Diodes before those bands. In this show we have The Secrets, which has members of both those bands AFTER Viletones/Diodes.

The fifth show in the Gulls Window Circus series ‘Double punk’ which plays two songs from each band, with two bands in a set. This week starts with The Mighty Ions and ends with The Paper Tulips. Four Boston bands appear, including probably the most well-known export from this area, Mission Of Burma. The Mighty Ions are a 80-82 band that never released anything: here are 2000 recordings that capture exactly what made this band soar. Nervous Eaters are a cautionary tale – they rocked hard until Elektra signed them and created an LP that no one liked. Wrongs are righted with Spanish label Penniman’s two anthologies of the bands finest stuff. Pajama Slave Dancers are a Western MA band feature prominently in the 2018 documentary ‘Chet’s Last Call: A Story of Rock & Redemption’ based on their mid-80s records. So much more in this show… Listen and I will give context to all.

The fourth show in the 8 week Gulls Window Circus series ‘Double punk’ which plays two songs from each band, with two bands in a set. This week starts with Hitmen (with an out-of-order catch up of The Flyin’ Spiderz), and ends with The Mekons. Included is my all time fave hardcore band Ill Repute, who changed their sound significantly between their 1st and 2nd LPs. We will have 3 tracks from that little heard 2nd record. My fave Boston band La Peste is showcased with 2 of their lesser know songs. Scott Weiss fronted (Ed Gein’s Car) Iron Prostate honor Gilligan’s Island, and NYC Dead Boys contemporaries The Mad provide cover art for this show and give us 2 tracks. LA’s Sylvia Juncosa’s vocals remind me of Paris band Stinky Toys (who will be heard soon) on her tracks.

The third show in the Gulls Window Circus series ‘Double punk’ which plays two songs from each band, with two bands in a set. This week starts with The Drones ‎ and ends with Richard Hell And The Voidoids. If there is a familiar band in the show (there are several), tracks from outside that band’s norm are played, such a 1977 demos for Generation X, the Yonkers demos for Heartbreakers, and live at The Lyceum 1983 for The Gun Club. There are also bands that are related to other bands you know, such as Empire (Generation X) and Future Dads (Unnatural Axe). And, as usual, there are the unknown, such as Long Island’s Hand Grenades and New Zealand’s Flesh D-Vice.
