While on my listening trip thru' the US mid 70s u-ground, the compass today pointed towards Beantown. No need to go 'n explain the joys of bands like DMZ or the Real Kids to you NBT readers, but this particular trip threw up a couple o' questions that I figured one of you might be able to answer. One of the 45s I pulled out was Marc Thor's Holiday Fire, hardly an earthshattering disc, but it made me wonder who might be on there as well. As far as I know Marc first appeared on the Live At The Rat comp where he was backed by DMZ-ers Rick Coracio, Mono Mann and Jay Jay Rassler. Soundwise I figure it's different crew on the 45, but if anyone can tell for sure, I'd really appreciate it. (also, can somebody put a date on this thing?). The second disc that threw up a bunch of question marks is by the Bonjour Aviators, a 1976 hard-rock styled 7" that might be best compared to early BOC on a budget. Diggin' thru' the excellent Boston Groupie News site, it quickly becomes clear that this band was very much part of the scene, doin' support slots with the likes of Television and the Heartbreakers. But no word on any further activities. Did these guys put out anything else? Did they pursue any other musical careers? I wanna know!

While on my listening trip thru' the US mid 70s u-ground, the compass today pointed towards Beantown. No need to go 'n explain the joys of bands like DMZ or the Real Kids to you NBT readers, but this particular trip threw up a couple o' questions that I figured one of you might be able to answer.

The second disc that threw up a bunch of question marks is by the Bonjour Aviators, a 1976 hard-rock styled 7" that might be best compared to early BOC on a budget. Diggin' thru' the excellent Boston Groupie News site, it quickly becomes clear that this band was very much part of the scene, doin' support slots with the likes of Television and the Heartbreakers. But no word on any further activities. Did these guys put out anything else? Did they pursue any other musical careers? I wanna know!
Saw the refurbished City Hall in Glasgow on TV and was reminded of seeing AC/DC there on their first UK tour (maybe 1973?). It was sponsored by Sounds and it was 75p to get in as I recall. Angus’ crew segue me nicely into the following rant which I’ll call “If You Want Blood” in testament to their live album some years later.
I went to “Give Blood” the other day. They could have taken it all and done me a favour but just took a pint. My service to the wider community and all that but donating blood, like most other activities in life, has become a chore. Something that is done in the spirit of helping people that’s fallen victim of a system gone haywire. You’re asked to read info and mark tick boxes and are grilled some more. The one that “processed” me was lacking any signs of social grace. Plus it’s been moved from the local town hall to the sports centre. When I finally got to the donating area it was like lying in one of those refugee centres you see on the TV after some kind of disaster. I hate sports halls and don’t care much for the critters that cut about inside them decked out in their garb either. In fact I actively avoid such individuals. Some of them might be perfectly agreeable but I’m not taking any chances. Anyway, one is left feeling like they’re doing you a favour by taking a pint of your probably infected blood. All done in the supposed interests of safety, I know. That’s what they tell you anyway but their front line rotweilers aren’t winning any charm school awards and if they’re putting me off then I’d imagine others are also thinking “fuck this for a game of soldiers”.
“We don’t start until 2 o’ clock” one of them grunts. Fine I nod thinking all the time, What’s it to you? I’m happy to wait. I didn’t ask you, I like to be punctual. I like to get in and get the heck out. You got a problem with that? But I manage to restrain any outburst and just wait. It’ll all be over soon enough. Hopefully. But anyway, I’ll think twice about ever going back. Particularly if they stick with that venue. Maybe I’ll visit one of their town centre places, see if it’s just the travelling posse that are so frozen faced. In the good old days, the blood bus would come to your place of employment. I’ve given something like 60 pints over the years. But now, like everything else in this country, it’s all going down the pan. Good manners cost nothing but lack of them may well result on them being a donation shy next time they hit this back arse-end of beyond.

UK readers might wanna head for the annual All Tomorrow's Parties fest in May. As the news arrives just now that the A Minute To Pray, A Second To Die era Flesheaters will grace the stage. That's Chris D., John Doe, DJ Bonebrake, Dave Alvin, Bill Bateman and Steve Berlin! Not to be missed IMHO.

CHOIR/ALARM CLOCKS/ES-SHADES SHOW INFO
http://www.beachlandballroom.com
From BB site: The Beachland Ballroom is proud to announce the first public performance since 1970 of the legendary Cleveland (Mentor, to be exact) band THE CHOIR. The band will feature original members Dave Smalley (vocals), Wally Bryson (guitar, vocals), Jim Bonfanti (drums, vocals), Dave Burke (bass) and Dann Klawon (guitar, vocals) plus Kenny Margolis (who joined in '67) on keyboards. "It's Cold Outside" was the #1 record for five weeks in Cleveland in 1967, and the band opened for many of the top British-Invasion groups, including The Who, Dave Clark Five, Yardbirds and Herman's Hermits. Bryson, Bonfanti, and Smalley later went on to the Raspberries with Eric Carmen. Opening we'll have Parma's very own ALARM CLOCKS, a band that was discovered long after their '60s' high school days. NYC's Norton Records says, "wild sixties Ohio garage band mayhem" about the full-length LP of Alarm Clocks material they released in 2000. The Alarm Clocks' sole '66 single "Yeah/No Reason To Complain," which was only pressed in a quantity of 200, remains one of the most sought after punk 45s ever! They've been covered by the Lyres, Teengenerate, and countless other modern combos. The Alarm Clocks haven't played out since '67! We expect to be announcing some other very special opening bands within the next few days as well. Tickets will be available on Friday, January 13th at 10 a.m. through www.beachlandballroom.com. In addition, tickets for this performance will be available at all of our usual ticketing outlets: CD/Game Exchanges throughout the area, Music Saves, and Square Records. Advance tickets are $25.00; day of show tickets are $28.00> Norton adds: THIS WILL SELL OUT, KIDDOS SO GET TIX LIKE NOW! SEE YOU THERE!
