music in the shed

incorrigible me.... era for era, John E on this song had me on the bass path to what limited playing i could do....first 3 minutes are what all is stamped onto a stage...
 
We had our own version of "MC5" was at this gig, bloody scary and i mean scary.... being frightened can be great fun, perverse but true... wait for the aussie mob to chime in.... j Jonny Canis in white tux..

Here's JBK in a 2 meter sessie, basically Japan without David Sylvian. Interesting bass playing, sadly Mick Karn is long gone.


cheers,

Always the haunting song Forbidden Colours, David Sylvian and Ryuichi Sakamoto, enticing the word for Japanese players and their instruments, another mid Eastern, could be why preferred fretless basses varying tone interval option. Strange bass sounds are common here, poor playing a standout, can however replicate almost any unearthly sounds, Roland VB-99 here, never use all the soundscapes contained, 6string basses work well. Know am not the only gigging person here, wondering what is of notable playing for you these days. j

On THE money once again, good man. UK imagined any night or day name acts at local venues, sort of same in Sydney, though standout gigs were just that, at Paddo Town Hall. Ed had my attention in the melody section of Saints, another notable out of body gig experience were The Angels in the day. Becoming somewhat local centric my replies, better stop there. j

1978 UWA Guild show, Angels, Loaded Dice. Eye opener for this then underaged bush kiddie. Discovered bottle cans. The crowd hadn't learnt the "No way get fucked fuck off", addendum to Am I ever gonna see your face again. Always wondered when that started.
 
Synchronicity! I turned up to that gig with maybe 3 or 4 friends after we'd been to a Mexican joint to eat and drank a bottle of tequila between us. We felt so good we convinced ourselves to buy another and head to UWA for the end of that gig. Most of my friends had one shot and decided that was enough but i was feeling so good I showed them how easy it was to guzzle it straight out of the bottle. Then someone handed round a joint and it was literally lights out.

I came to when the place was almost empty, the roadies were packing up and luckily my mate Steve had hung around and put me on the hump seat of his 900SS and rode me home. I chundered on his back as we arrived at my place. Spent the next 36 hours extremely ill - must have been close to alcohol poisoning. I wasn't a big drinker then and never have been, but that experience has left an indelible mark on my psyche - never touched tequila again and the smell almost makes me wretch.

So that's the story of me at the Angels gig at UWA 1978!!

In my Sociology class yesterday, talking to a young feller at my table. He’s a vinyl collector. Seems he’s a big fan of Radio Birdman, the Saints, the Stooges and my favourite punk band Stiff Little Fingers. He’s 19. Seems like the future is safe after all…
