BBQ – Tie Your Noose is full of very unique music built on original music translated from a one man band Mark Sultan. His latest CD is put out by BOMP!. This guy has to have some eclectic tastes in music. Whatever the influence, you can certainly pick out a considerable wide range of music genres and artists on your own when you hear BBQ belting out his music and words. On our first listen these words came out of our mouths: “Buddy Holly, Rock & Roll, Old Rock & Roll, Blues, I wish he could be our house band, DAMN!, Punk rock baby, you know it’s good when you feel in between your thighs!” Mark Sultan is a one man band that plays everything with severe passion.
BBQ or Mark Sultan has fronted a couple of other bands that I haven’t heard of but now I’ll have to go search it out. I followed the link inside the CD cover to his website and found my way to the new MarkSultan.com blog type site which is cool. BBQ’s music rules all but at a close second for me is the fact that BBQ has lots of full sized MP3’s you can download. That is Rock & Roll baby. Get the music out there. If it is good people will buy. I will definatley buy. How did we miss him when he came to Atlanta back in January? Hopefully he will find his way back in the future.
If you’ve visited us here before you know there is no filler here at MusicFilter.com just music that moves ya, and I can attest that BBQ will move ya!. Go get it you won’t regret it.
8/4/19 ~mc~ I love how one thing leads to another in this maze of BMF content. After discovering the Tumblr Audio Parser for MusicFilter Tumblr, I had to check out the same for Whatever Happened to Rock & Roll Tumblr and found another treasure chest of BMF curated music. Sometimes the links on the Tumblr are dead after so many years, but usually there is enough information to find the song. So the very last song link on page 10 of the list is broken but it says Take a message… YES! I know this song because he played this song a lot and I like this song and my mission was to find it again and fix the broken link. BMF also left the following on the post:24 June 2009 • mark sultainmark sultanbbq
This does not seem like 10 years ago but time is shorter than you can ever imagine. I happen to know BBQ is a BMF favorite. But this song was not BBQ. We now know this song is by Mind Controls, another Mark Sultan band. And while I could not find it on Tumblr, I found it on You Tube! Who knows how long it would have taken me to update this post had I not come across this situation tonight? Love to love you baby! #57bmf4ever
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.

Originally on Whatever Happend to Rock and Roll.
Taken at 9 Lives Saloon on 12/31/2002(actually 2001), 12/6/2002/ 3/1/2002 and 8/24/2002.
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
The Evils Archive by BMF from Whatever Happened to Rock & Roll? (jj.com)
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 Jeff

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
We went to this show with high hopes. While we have always loved The Kills first record, the latest one, No Wow sounded good but didn’t have the same ooomph as their first. They sounded good but for some reason we just didn’t dig it like we thought. Maybe it was all the emo-freaks in the crowd. Photos.
7/21/2019 ~mc~ worked all day on the BMF Encyclopedia and got to the Kills who we fell for in 2003. That led me here to update this small MusicFilter tribute page. We did eventually get to see The Kills play live at the Earl in 2005, but wound up pretty disappointed in their show. Maybe it was the crowd as BMF thought but it was probably more that we were going to a lot of hard core crazy shows at that time and The Kills were not that kind of show. However their first album, “Keep on Your Mean Side” was punk as fuck and remains stellar on the turntable and will forever be in the rotation of every music server we own. The Kills are a piece of MusicFilter history and therefore our history. Their first album has the unique distinction of being the first album BMF reviewed and posted on MusicFilter and the first to earn a link on the sidebar. Ha! Not a big deal now but a BIG DEAL in 2003 when “blogging” was first getting started and getting a link on the sidebar was a special triumph. BMF took some fairly awful Makers Mark fueled photos with his Olympus Digital Camera that night in 2005 and the SWF file he made to archive the photos has since bitten the dust, but I was able to find them on the server at musicfilter.net and happily restored them into a gallery. As I view them now I don’t care about the quality, but remember the Earl’s dark vibe and the memory of how any night with BMF was a good night. I miss him so much. #57bmf4ever
And it’s true that BMF collected and owns all of these albums and so many more. After MusicFilter crashed in 2014 he was unable to update his vinyl list. He always planned to return and update his list because he was a serious list maker and the king of all sorters. Before he died he started a project of a detailed archive for each album. He began this project on Facebook for some reason under his long time user name of MusicfilterGoAheadPunk. Some asshole complained that was not his real name and Facebook took down all of his hard work! He begged them to return his writings but they refused. He started over but it really gave him the blues and his heart was not in it for long. Or maybe he just didn’t feel good enough to continue after that disappointing situation. But for me whatever he left is precious.
After his death I tried to get Facebook to give back his writings too but they were just too hard to deal with and I gave up trying as I try to deal with my own grief. So fuck Facebook for spoiling his good intent. Bitches and Bastards!
I don’t really know who cares what albums BMF collected. I just know he cared about it and now I’m the caretaker of his albums. I’ll go through each of them one day and diary them all just for him. I enjoy having and caring about his albums. (On 1/29/2022 I finally brought a stack of albums to Redbud. I’m going to set up BMF’s upright record player and start playing every one. And I’m going to catalogue them again on Discogs. He had already set up an account there in 2014 but never started adding his collection, so let me try and finish it for him. #1 will be Iggy Pop.) MusicFilter @ Discogs
Below are his original links posted on this page which are funky in this 2006 update except for VEIW MOST OF OUR COLLECTION (non-flash). This is the one I have rescued in this post and I have not checked all the links yet. 🙂
I might put these in a gallery eventually but for now I’m just happy with the photo rescue so I could update this page. Every album is important but if you want his short list go check out MusicFilter’s 28 Must Have Albums.
Although they take their name from a Nuge song and use a Confederate flag in their imagery, The Pussy’s politics ain’t god, guns, and gay-bashin’– they run both red and blue. In fact, on the band’s fifth album From Hell to Texas (SPV), they assail religion on “Lazy Jesus” (“God’s just a king with a lot less money”) and bash “The Late, Great USA.” “We walk the line,” Suys says. “The party we vote for is
the Party party.” The song, she continues, is about returning home from Europe to notice the little differences between here and there. “Some of the freedoms over there are different… like, you know, hash and nice, state-sponsored hookers.Then you come back to America, land of supposed freedom, and you’re not allowed to smoke 50 feet in front of a building and shit. It’s like, ‘What the fuck?”{read more}
