The Sex Pistols return

The Sex Pistols played a one off gig at the Roxy in LA yesterday performing for about 500 invited guests. Apparently a few people snuck in evidenced by Johnny getting hit in the face with a drink. Read more about the show and the ‘sneaker inner’ here. The Orange County register interviewed Lydon about the bands upcoming gigs in England. Read it here. The Sex Pistol’s recently re-recorded “Anarchy in the U.K and Pretty Vacant” for the upcoming Guitar Hero release.

Die Hunns – Live Fast

Die Hunns have released a new record called “Live Fast…” featuring some pre-production of pre-production songs that never made it on ‘You Rot Me’.

The disc begins with a cover of Back in Black that honestly I wasn’t sure what to expect but they put such a cool twist on it that it changes the song completely. Corey sings lead and Duane chimes in with the chorus. Together they make this song sound so fucking cool you have to hear it to believe it.

Die hard Hunns fans may of heard some of these songs before like “Ain’t talkin’ ’bout love and Marshal Law but Hunns fan or not, this disc is awesome. With a “pealed of production” sound which to me is very cool, the songs will make a Hunns fan out of any non-believer and will make the hardest core Hunns fan turn the knobs to 11 when listening. “Atomic Cafe” melds Corey and Duane’s voices again perfectly. The outake version of “Ain’t it a shame” is way fucking cool. These guys can do no wrong. This is the stuff that should be played on the airwaves.
After listening to the songs once I immediately set the player to repeat and will be blasting this thing for some time. Can’t wait for the next one guys.

The Bloody Hollies


The Bloody Hollies
newest disc, “Who to Trust, Who to Kill, Who to Love” out on Alive Records is blistering. I could stop there and that would sum it up for this review but I couldn’t stop without telling you how raw yet refined these guys come across. Guitars that makes your guts twist, vocals that will make your brain tighten, drums and bass that push and pull your toes as the music hits your existence.

“Mona” starts off where “Watch your head” from the bands prior album “If footmen tire you” left off. Damn I like ALL the songs on this disc. Very diverse throughout but it always remains ROCK. I’ve only listened to this cd twice but you will surely here more from us here at MusicFilter as it will get lots more playtime here at the Punk Rock House.

If you don’t know who the Bloody Hollies are or have never heard them check out “Satanic Satellite” from the new disc over at Alive Records. Trust me when I say you should really just go here and buy this disc and their other one while your at it and enjoy some awesome ROCK! These guys embody no frills ROCK.

Little Stevens Underground Garage A Go Go

We headed to the show early with the intentions of hanging out in the loft till the show started but since I forgot the keys we decided to go on in the Variety Playhouse to grab a good seat and drink beer. We were treated to a black and white movie theater on the walls of the theater. Four screens plastered the walls on both sides with old B-Movies with a great soundtrack of garage band gems played in the background.

A band that won a contest to open the show began shortly that was ok but for us just that….ok.

Next up were The Charms that quickly gained our attention with their hard hooks and energetic lead singer, Ellie Vee. The band looked and played tough. I would like seeing this band play live anytime. The band was tight as hell and Ellie has a voice that is both sweet and in your face with tons of soul that flows naturally. The guitar player, Joe Wizda is like some freaky virtuoso type that will both amaze and astound you with his playing.

Next up came the Chesterfield Kings….WOW is the best description of this show by a band that has been around since 79′. Pure Rock and Roll swagger at it’s very best. The lead singer moved all over not only the stage but took off into the audience not just once like some singers do now but roamed all over the place including the seats halfway back into the venue. He stood on the seats, threw newspapers that got in his way, tumbled, tripped and drug his CORDED mic all over the place. At one point when we was ‘walking’ from one side of the audience to the other even the roadie needed a hand with that long mic cord and the audience stepped up and helped to surf the cord over their heads to the other side…once it reached its destination it quickly had to be moved back up on stage where Greg Prevost, the lead singer began an on stage love/lust session with his mic stand. I got some great photos of Greg all over the place here.

Next up were the Supersuckers. If you like the Supersuckers I would say they put on a good show. While not my personal favorites the highlight of the show was when Eddie Spahgetti made “bass guitar stars” out of the entire band and even let the members from the other bands on the bill in on the action. Funny stuff that ended with a killer version of “Frankenstein”. The Supersuckers website has a cool blog style page that Eddie writes on about the tour.

When the New York Dolls hit the stage all eyes were glued. The band ripped into a couple of classics then launched into some new numbers. They sounded great, looked great and really seemed to be having fun. Of course Sylvain Sylvain garnered much attention being the local guy (lives in Decatur). Great show, great sound. Long live the New York Dolls.
