The latest issue of the I-94 Bar e-zine is a Detroit music special.
"*We speak to Prime Movers singer Michael Erlewine who offers some insights into the early Iggy Pop. The Prime Movers were a seminal Michigan blues band who had a young Jim Osterberg on the drummer's stool. See outrageously rare photos of Iggy before he was a Stooge.
*Speaking of photos, Sue Rynski was there in the late '70s and early '80s when the likes of Destroy All Monsters, Sonic's Rendezvous Band, the Mutants, Motor City Bad Boys, the Ramrods and Johnny Thunders (among others) were leading lights on the Detroit underground scene. Sue's exhibiting photos in Paris which seemed as good an excuse as any to chat to her and have a peak through her album.
*The Stooges have been on the road and we have reports - and pictures - from shows in Spain and France.
*Radio Birdman's Euro tour has wound up but the missives from I-94 Bar reporters haven't with gig reviews from Italy and Germany (2) uploaded a few minutes ago.
*Also, we carry reviews of the Casanovas, Intercooler and the Specimens.
*Keep checking for more Birdman reports and in the next few days, as well as a backlog of disc reviews.
*Don't forget our ridiculously easy Sheek the Shayk contest".

Sites recently added to The Garage dedicated to 60s garage bands include the following: A resource dedicated to Kenny & The Kasuals that includes a biography, news of forthcoming dates, and even autographed merchandise. Why not email Kenny and ask him when that comprehensive “Best Of” is going to appear? Most readers of the NBT blog will probably have committed to memory the tracks on the first dozen volumes of Pebbles. In which case check out the Heard photo archive, sadly devoted to a recently deceased former member, and then move it on over to a site put together by the guitarist in the Satyrs. Said bloke conducted a Google search and found that, much to his amazement, “Yesterday’s Heroes” had been comped several times. Crikey! And while we're in the land of one-45rpm-wonders, don’t forget to read the story of the Rising Tydes rise to semi-obscurity. Finally, if your more of a Liam Watson than a Dr Watson, conduct a virtual rummage around the Fine Recording Studio archive. Get the low-down on the Rochester, NY studio that started in the 50s and captured a slew of 60s punkers, including “I Try” by the Young Tyrants, along the way.
