VENOM - Where's Dock Green (Link / Secret / Step 1 / Get Back)
Tonight’s demo feature is a new band from Charlottetown, PEI called
Remote Control who describe themselves describe themselves with
phrases like cyberpunk and extreme computer music in their
bandcamp tags. Here is their bandcamp link.
REMOTE CONTROL - AA1 Pioneer (Self-Released)
REMOTE CONTROL - Burial Quarter (Self-Released)
REMOTE CONTROL - Subject (Self-Released)
REMOTE CONTROL - Judgment in the Barracks (Self-Released)
Tonight’s show includes covers of Zeppelin, Iggy Pop, the Beatles, and the Equators. We have a lot of bands from around the world including punk bands from China, Argentina, Malaysia, and Slovenia. We have lots of Canadian bands tonight which includes tonight’s demo from Halifax, a band called BPS which stands for Brain Pollution Syndrome. You can download the show here.
But we are going to start things off with a tribute to Frederick Nathanial Hibbert, better known as Toots Hibbert, singer for Toots and the Maytals.
“Toots” passed away last Saturday which is a week ago from air time but only a few days when we started producing this show. And tributes galore have been aired on radio shows for this soulful ball of energy of a singer that started out in the ska era and coined the next incarnation with his song “Do the Reggae”. Why are we eulogizing a reggae artist on a Punk show? Because Toots had an impact on the early punk artists like the Clash. I got to see Toots at the Concert Hall and it was insane as the 60 year old he jumped from start to finish in rude boy style. And he was still performing at the time of his sudden illness.
I am going to start out with a song that everyone has been playing. This is Pressure Drop as covered by the Clash on “Black Market Clash”.
