And of course, take a look at the bands featured: The Fools, Barry Marshall, The Outlets, The Neighborhoods, Barrence Whitfield and The Savages, The Nervous Eaters, Semper Fi and don't forget Willie Loco Alexander.....big names on the Boston music scene at that time....

Please give it a listen and Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!!

WBCN 1990 Lunchtime Christmas Countdown

WBCN 1990 Lunchtime Christmas Countdown

A co-worker of mine had mentioned that she had this tape of hers. She told me it was when WBCN used to do their lunchtime countdowns with Ken Shelton. I had told her I had my own BCN Christmas tape as well. I borried hers and transferred both tapes....
It's a very funny tape and I hope you all enjoy it!

Local bands from New England and Beyond.....

Any new bands out there want to promote their bands here?

I am looking for any hard rock, heavy metal and hardcore bands that want a little free promotion....even cover bands.....

What I need is any pictures of the band, a CD (or a copy of one you can email me) and any info about the band....plus if there is anything you'd like for me to post.....Place it in a winzip file and send it my MYSpace page located on the links section....

This is for the bands that I see at the various shows that give out their CD or tape just to get their name out there....I want to help!

Are you one of those bands?

Pour Some Sugar On Me

This is a karaoke type video that my friends and I did back about.....15 years ago, I think.....We had a few beers, hanging out at Hampton Beach and we happen to walk by the place and figured....What the hell!
We searched through all the videos and this was the only song we knew....the other stuff was only dance crap....

The funny thing was that after we finished, we got applause from the crowd outside watching us....we didn't realize that they were showing it on a screen outside the store....

Please enjoy and have a few laughs!
Thank you!

20. The Count - Transporter

I've had this compilation for a long time. I had gotten it because of the Mass song "Under The Gun", which is an awesome tune.

This compilation has been out of print for a while and one day, I am looking around Ebay for some Charlie Farren, I come across this and it is still there for $100. http://cgi.ebay.com/BRR-16-JAMES-BOND-CHARLIE-FARREN-TRANSPORTER_W0QQitemZ4778245568QQihZ017QQcategoryZ307QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem

I was amazed! I had asked the guy why, he told me just as it said on Ebay that it was because of the Charlie Farren tune "Living Daylights" which was supposed to be on the James Bond soundtrack but it never happened and also because of the Mass song.....that was it....I just laughed to myself....I paid $2 for it at Nugget Records years ago....

When I started this site, I told myself that I would post this just because I can't see anyone paying that much money for this....it's ridiculous.....

Besides Mass and Charlie Farren, look out for Macey's Parade (which my friend's band had opened for a few times) and Bruce Marshall, which had been a staple of the Boston scene for years....

Please enjoy this and post any comments!

Thank you!!!!

This is great music from a great band! These are friends of mine who were the house band at Bill Ash's Lounge in Revere, MA for a number of years.

They are the perfect pop/rock band. I have seen them live more times than I can count and they always put on a great show!

Dana West was also my guitar teacher for a while. I wish I had the time to have kept it going....

I just found out that they are doing a SASS reunion in January. http://www.sassrock.com/sass_news.htm

Also, check out Gary's band Take That appearing at Bill Ash's Lounge.

I can't wait for it!!!

This tape was given to me by a close friend years ago. He had decided to tape the band because we were going to The Atlantic Lounge every weekend and we enjoyed the band so much. We had already bought the demo tape they were selling but he wanted to have more of their music. He taped it and had made a copy for me. I've had it for years and I found it recently.

Yes, that is "Straight Up" by Paula Abdul and it is a kick ass version of the song....They also do a fantastic version of "Walkin' The Dog", "The Real Me" and "Stay With Me".

Their original songs are amazing!!! All I can say is I wish these guys had gotten signed.

Check out the myspace page dedicated to the band:http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=22227837&blogID=205446497
