The incendiary guitarist from MC5 , affectionately known as Brother Wayne Kramer , will play a Glastonbury warm-up show with Danish psych-surfmongers The Good The Bad at London's Blues Kitchen on Friday 28th June. It's the first duel between the two artists since their impromptu-turned-spastic rendition of “ Kick Out The Jams ” at SXSW last year, when Kramer was attending the festival to play shows with Tom Morello and promote his Jail Guitar Doors charity: [...]
Here's a very cool bit of ephemera as seen last week in the collection of the Archive of Contemporary Music - a cardboard box used to ship copies of the MC5's second single, 1968's "Borderline" b/w "Looking At You" on the A-Sqaure label run by Jeep Holland. Its addressed to MC5 manager John Sinclair. The first of the two bi-annual sales at the Archive is coming up soon beginning June 8 and running through June 16.

"Imagine Janis Joplin possessed by Iggy Pop's soul and returning from the dead to front the freak love child of the Rolling Stones, Queens of the Stone Age and the MC5. That is White Shag. White Shag is high energy, female fronted, passionate rock with airs of Jimi Hendrix and Cream on electric guitar and a heavy handed and very primal John Bonham banging on drums. You have to see it to believe it. No videos or recordings do a live show justice and even then, you still can't believe it". Some seriously major Rock`N Roll [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive Elektra Before he would achieve recognition as the guitarist for Patti Smith , Lenny Kaye wrote reviews and articles for Rolling Stone in its early years and was hired as a freelance talent scout by Elektra Records in 1970. During that period, Elektra president Jac Holzman told Kaye about a record he wanted put out consisting of songs that were either hidden on records or minor hit singles. [...]
Continuo a strisciare nei bassifondi di Detroit.. Ancora lezioni sulla storia del rock Un documentario che sbavo per vedere è Louder Than Love , sulla ascesa e distruzione del Grande Ballroom di Detroit, uno dei tempi del rock degli anni d'oro chiuso dal '72 e ridotto peggio che una merda.. Pensare che in quella sala, su quel palco gli MC5 suonarono in due serate tutto Kick Out the Jams mi piglia malissimo.. Louder Than Love

Ogni volta che mi capita di pescare nell'enorme calderone della roba uscita dal Michigan negli ultimissimi Sessanta-primi Settanta rimango sempre colpito da quanta aggressività ci fosse in quelle band, quanta mancanza di mediazione, quanti vaffanculo sottintesi.. E sia benedetto Julian Cope per questo sampler sulla scena di Detroit di quel periodo, ce n'è da scavare..cominciate a scaricare ..A parte i classici MC5 e The Stooges, per vie traverse qualche settimana fa mi sono imbattuto sui The New Order , una delle band di Ron Asheton nel post Stooges, recuperatevi Declaration [...]

You may or may not have noticed a lack of posts this week 'cause we've been mad busy with some other shiz. We got in a whopping one post in this week and this is it, and it just so happens to be our Friday Flashback Track Of The Week.

It was finally released in 1994 as a part of the 10" comp of the same name. This is Power Trip. Have [...]

1968'de Rolling Stone, MC5'ın birbirine dolanmış karmaşık saçlı vokalisti Rob Tyner'ı kapağına yerleştirirken şunu diyordu: "Kick Out the Jams!". İleride Sex Pistols başta olmak üzere bir çok punk grubunu tavır olarak çok ciddi anlamda etkileyecek olan MC5, Detroit sahnesinde Stooges gibi Elektra Records tarafından kapılmıştı. Elektra'nın başkanı Jac Holzman yeni sansasyonunu New York'lulara Fillmore East'te düzenlediği bedava bir konserle tanıtmıştı. Sonraki yıllarda MC5'ın taşkınlıkları doruğa çıkacak, Elektra ile "Kick Out the Jams Motherf..kers!" cümlesi konusunda anlaşamayacak, barlarda kavgalar çıkartacaklardı. MC5, plak mağazalarındaki Elektra logolarının üzerine "F.ck You!" stickerları yapıştırınca plak şirketi ile grubun yolları kısa bir süre sonra ayrıldı. [...]

Today is the day that the new Redd Kross lp “Researching The Blues” is released. Go to iTunes and buy it ! It’s the perfect combo of power pop, punk and even a little glam. And, listening to it will make you very happy. Which, these days, is a very good thing. And I dig the first video from the album- back when they covered Kiss on “Teen Babes From Monsanto”, did they ever think it would [...]
