"SLUGROCK TIME is a rocknroll music site dealing with the (ahem) achievements of Tony Slug. Yes his whole pathetic musical career laid out from 1978 until now : The Nitwitz, B.G.K. (Balthasar Gerards Kommando), Loveslug, the Spades, Hydromatics, and more ! The only thing these bands have in common is that Tony Slug plays in them and that they all kick ass".
Just to add to Steve's Barracudas post there, The new single arrived here yesterday and it's a glam-mungously sharp return to the fray. Recorded the self-same day that Radio Birdman went on way too early at The Mean Fiddler, "Don't Ever Say..." feels like a familiar old friend delivering a good hard kick up the arse viz a viz (sounded like David Brent there) "We're back, wanna make something of it?" What a bloody glorious racket they've kicked up. Makes you feel, just for a second, that all might not be lost after all. No self respecting NBT-watcher should go without one of these so follow Steve's links and nail a copy. If you have difficulty then let we know and we'll do what we can to help you get one. Can't say nae fairer than that.
The Barracudas are to play a one-off show at The Troubadour in London on Wednesday 19th November. Tickets are now on sale but hurry as the venue is "intimate" and space limited. Hey, it sounds like the Hope 'n' Anchor! The London show coincides with a festival appearance in Spain alongside The Dictators and the simulataneous release of a new 45rpm (Don't Ever Say It Can't Be b/w Not That Kind) as well as the re-release of their first 45rpm (I Want My Woody Back b/w Subway Surfin') by Munster Records. More information about the recent recording session and the forthcoming shows can be found on The Barracudas Yahoo! Group.
Was sad to hear that the Au-GoGo store in Melbourne has closed but the good news is that they're still in business. Read all about it!.

My old mucker, Brother Randall sent me this info which I know all you cultured vultures will dig... over to you sir, "First off is this cool book on Carnival Strippers, which I first saw at Mike Buck's house back in the 80s and have searched for a copy ever since, now it's been reprinted (got mine for a measly $30 from Amazon). Check out the slide show thingy here! (tho' you need to register). Also, for the benefit of Art Lovers everywhere, I put up a web page of Donna's and my 1960s adult movie poster collection here!.
