The creation of metal madman Todd Boholtz is an ever increasing inventory of creative and odd/cool shaped metal objects hand made by Toddly himself in his state of the art shop consisting of an arc welder, a lot of Ryobi tools and a fridge full of PBR in the can of course.

More info and photos to come as soon as he sends me the info and photos.

The only guy I’ve ever known to move to Wisconsin, rent a chevy dealership building, make shit, smoke herb, drink beer, buy a bike for himself and later one for me at a farm auction, and then jump my bike through a ring of fire on July 4th and then to get all his family’s kids gathered round to give me he fuckin’ bird…U RULE MAN Toddly Balls.

5/30/2009 Update

While recently finding some old “Whatever Happened to Rock and Roll” files I came across the “levels club” page. Very funny and cool. We should start that back up. Anyway Mr. Toddly Balls is still in fucking Wisconsin welding shit, drinkin’ beer and doing what BMF’s do, here are a couple of photos to remind us all of Toddly. (I’ll take these off after you see them Todd if you like, I know you are all upright and shit now.)

8/23/20 Restored the photos. Todd and Jeff were able to talk a few times before Jeff died. This was something that was very important to Jeff. Todd had been through a similar tragedy with his father and just seemed overwhelmed with what was happening with Jeff. We loved Todd and had a wonderful time with him in Atlanta and I wish him and his family love and happiness. ~mc~

The Kills 03

The Kills “Keep On Your Mean Side” I just brought this album to Miss Chicky who looked over at me and said, “This music is made for us”. My first impressions: raw, simple, sexy, hard, soft, cool, original, and we’re only on track five.

This is definitely one of the best albums I’ve heard so far this year. It’s unusual to like every track on an album but this one passes that test. I especially like “Superstition” and “Fried My Little Brains”. The Kills at the Magic Stick in Detroit on April 29, 2003. I hope they show up in Atlanta.

My first impressions stand after listening to the CD a few more times. It only gets better each listen. Very sexy and very raw. This is music you can definately feel in your guts.

Old Skars & Upstarts 2004

Official Site(dead link-left for reference)

(link update on 8/25/20 – Disaster Records has been long gone. BMF mentions it in one of his podcasts. Here is a great summary of the old Scars and Upstarts series. Not sure how Duane continues to survive, but BMF loved Duane Peters and would want this info updated.)

 

Anyway on with the show. ~mc~

Old Skars & Upstarts 2004

I’ve had this CD for about a month now and when I first listened to it a few tracks struck me as awesome. I stuck the CD in my car and have been listening to it now everyday pretty much. Each time I like each song a bit more. From what I understand Duane Peters puts these comps together himself and if that is the case this guy has got an ear for music like no other. EVERY SINGLE FUCKING SONG is a great song but for me personally The District – No Heart is my favorite as of today. Each day I listen, I have a new favorite and now they are all my faves. And why can’t I find any info on this band? The search will continue as it will for every band on this CD. They all kick ass in their own unique way. I was determined to keep my list of 28 albums everyone should own to just that…..25, but everytime I climb into my car to fight the dumbasses on the highways I have finally convinced myself that this CD belongs in the top 10 best comps I’ve ever heard. This is exactly what I hope MusicFilter can put together one day. A comp CD that is good from song one to the last track and only bands and songs that I like. Duane you inspire in ways you may not even realize.

Thanks to all the bands who answered my email for their info….

Evils

Official Site

Live Photos

 

Original photos of the Evils originally on “Whatever Happened to Rock and Roll”. Taken from shows on 12/6/2002, 12/31/2002(actually 2001), 3/1/2002, and 8/24/2002.

 

The Evils were one of the first local Atlanta bands we saw often in clubs. I don’t know all the guys but see them often. They play fierce balls out rock that is like a wall of sound. We usually see the band play at 9 Lives Saloon but once caught them at the Masquerade and they sounded fucking awesome. Not that they aren’t kick ass at 9 Lives Saloon but at the bigger venue they seemed most at home and they sounded much better than usual in my opinion.

 

1/3/06
I’ve since seen a ton of local Atlanta bands and I have to say that the Evils personify the true Rock & Roll attitude that a lot of bands today couldn’t even think of if they were payed to do so….Jett is in your face and on it 100% every time he plays and Evil Jim is the ruler of all bloody handed guitar players…..come back guys…We/Atlanta needs you.

Nostalgia ~mc~

8/3/19 ~mc~ Above is the original post BMF made to MusicFilter after the redesign in 2006. I have tried to find all the photos and movies that he took of The Evils in 2002 in the servers of musicfilter, in the tumblrs and in the archives of wayback. I found a few but not all. I have posted those below. I will have to turn to one of the computers he was using in 2002(we kept all our computers except his original that he gave to Todd). He always used a desktop. 🙂 I’m fairly certain they will be stored there, but that will be for another day when I can get it out of storage. So hope is still alive! The reason this is a big deal is first I just want to restore single thing possible for myself and second is because in 2002 there were not a lot of photos of bands because this was before cell phones had photos and a person would have to bring an actual camera to a show which could sometimes be awkward and weird, but BMF didn’t give a fuck. He just wanted to collect photos and movie clips. #57bmf4ever

In celebration of BMF’s birthday on August 5 and the just announced 20th anniversary show including The Evils, The Unsatisfied and The El Caminos it’s time to archive and update this page originally created by BMF who loved all of these bands and supported them for all of his time left on earth. Happy Birthday BMF! You are missed like crazy! #57bmf4ever ~mc

Nashville Pussy brought us The Evils.The Evils brought us The Unsatisfied and we wallowed in their Rock and Roll. BMF and WHTRR supported the Evils and they in turn supported BMF.

The Evils
I’ve seen the Evils play before with Nashville Pussy at the Echo Lounge. Last night at the 9 Lives Saloon their hard style hadn’t changed a bit. Their name, their logo, their style oozes rock and roll. Real rock that grabs you by the throat, holds on tight, and blasts right into your eyeballs. When I think of The Evils, I think of bourbon and coke, Winston’s, and a bike that’s as fast as it is loud. These guys are great and they play great. Go see them every and any chance you get. Check out their cool website too.(2/4/2002)

BMF Review of the New Year’s Eve Show with The Evils @ 9 Lives Saloon

01/02/2002

We had a great time at the 9 Lives Saloon on New Years Eve. Galleon started the night off with a drum less set. The group consists of Elliot Michaels, Jon Far, and Sean Young. One guitar, one rhythm guitar, and one bass comprise the groups instruments as they play a mix of original material as well as some old rock and roll favorites. Very original and unique is the best description I can give. After their set, the Breakaways blasted on stage with their version of what I can best describe as 80?s style LA punk rock. Their lead singer Alex in particular held my attention most of time with his in your face vocals and intense stage presence. After they loaded their gear off the stage on came The Evils. A local favorite of raunchy hard rock that resembles a mix of punk and hard rock. A great band to see anytime you get the chance. Next up was Gargantuan. From what I understand, they are vets of the hard rock metal scene here in Atlanta and they clearly showed that in their short set. Mixing originals with covers, their lead singer demanded your attention both during the songs and in between the songs with his rants. Next up was Dick Delicious. I had been looking forward to seeing them since I downloaded one of their songs recently and they didn’t disappoint. Loud, funny, on the mark with the music and jokes alike they are a band I look forward to seeing again. Highlight of the night may of been when the lead singer from Gargantuan, Shane, joined DD on stage for a kick ass version of “Big Stinky Pussies”. I recommend any of these bands live to anyone wanting to see talent as well as a great show. Till next time, VIVA LA VULVA BABY

On this same night we would meet The Unsatisfied

 

The Unsatisfied is a band we first saw opening for TheEvils at 9 Lives Saloon a while back. Jet told me before the show that I would really like the band opening up for them and the lead singer was a “crazymotherfucker!”. We were about to find out just how crazy. The band started playing and up walks(on crutches)this lanky dude. He was all over the stage, hoppin’ all around on one leg, and belting out some of the best vocals I had heard in a long time. To top all that off this guy had a stage presence that demanded your complete attention. Talent was the first word that came to mind at the time. The band literally chugged out the music song after song. Afterwards we got to meet the lead singer extraordinaire and the rest of the band. Eric is a super nice guy and from our first conversation it was clear to me this guy was on another level. We will not miss show one these guys are playing in the future. If you miss seeing them live you’ll be missing a great show and great band that has got nothing but great things ahead of them. Enough….now go listen to White Trash. I think I like the rougher Evil Jim remix of “White Trash” as well. Level: 9

What can I say about this band that hasn’t already been spat, hollered and shrieked at countless venues……. I can say this..the band originally caught my ear with the song ” I wanna get in your pants” and then immediatley made me think of Miss Chicky who I somehow ICQ’ed a copy of in WAV format to her for listening….the rest is history….the photos in the album are courtesy ROB ZERO who went to Athens to check em out and got these incredible pics…….

Now defunct, Pretty Vacant were an awesome Sex Pistols cover band with ROB on vocals making it real.
Update: I just met Steve Mack at the Yacht Club who played in Pretty Vacant and Julius Pleaser as well. Even though I was fairly wasted and can’t remember every single detail of our conversation I do remember enough to know we had a very good conversation about music in general and am looking forward to having more conversations like that one in the future. Very cool guys. Stay tuned to MusicFilter for updates on future projects of both Rob and Steve.

View photos of their last show here. If anyone from the band is checking out this page e-mail me with any other info you would like to see included on this page.
