What with the upcoming festivities surrounding the 30th anniversary of Chiswick Records later this year, I figured it to be a good time to round up a bunch of weblinks relating to the label. Just think of it as something edumacational.
Our first stop is, of course, the Ace Records site, home of Chiswick and a host of reissue-labels. For a more thorough history Punk '77 has a excellent interview with labelfounder Roger Armstrong, not to mention short biographies on various bands that were on the label plus a two-part discography. Mohair Sweets is a fine on-line tribute to Jesse Hector of Hammersmith Gorillas fame, and also holds another info-laden interview with Armstrong. Herve Colombet's Count Bishops site has more info on the band then you'll ever need, but you also might wanna check singer Dave Tice's scrapbook and my own little virtual shrine to the most energetic and under appreciated R'n'B bands that blasted outta the UK in the late 70s. Kirsty MacColl's webiste has a bizarre interview with my hero Johnny Moped. Kirsty, of course, recorded for Chiswick as well with the Drug Adixx. Radio Star Martin Gordon has plenty info about his band available on his site. And lookey here: The Official Radiators Site. Et bienvenue sur le site officiel de Little Bob & Little Bob Story. Finally, check out the 'History' page on Motorhead's home on the web for the story on their involvement with Chiswick. That should give you plenty to chew on, and while you're at it, why not dig out your copy of Cycledelic and blast it LOUD!
