A half rock, half electronic show. Ian North starts the show. He fronted the London punk band Neo (featured on the ‘Live At The Vortex’ comp), but that’s not where he began – that would be as frontman for Long Island band Milk n’ Cookies – wow! The rock segment of the show ends with The Trinary System, which is Roger Miller (Mission Of Burma, F.U.K.) in his latest project. Hope you enjoy both halves of this special show.

If Judson Fountain is in the show (he is), it MUST be a Halloween show, and it is. Many fun/odd tracks – I like this show a lot! …Even includes Coil’s unused Hellraiser (Clive Barker) track ‘The Box Theme’ and 1983 movie Sleepaway Camp’s ‘Angela’s Theme.’

Ooow, goodies within – Gary Valentine (original Blondies bassist/writer), Manitoba’s Wild Kingdom (Dictators), Bill Ward (original Black Sabbath drummer from his 1989 LP), James Chance and les Contortions (widely unknown awesome studio LP from 2011), The Saints (from their 1978 LP Prehistoric Sounds). All tracks hold their own.

The show starts rock, then chills into balearic, then heats with tropical and African sounds, flirting with disco and soul as it moves to a close.

Both versions of Happy Talk – the Cap’n (with Dolly Mixture behind) and the original from South Pacific. This duo of tracks lives inside a rock show with no less than eleven NY artists and a reasonable assortment of other locales as well. Lots o’ great stuff.
