Joe Buck Yourself @ Ace Cafe Rumst 8/02/2009
Yep another gig in the Ace Café, brought to you by Chris and Surfing Airlines.
Joe Buck Yourself, known to many as the bass player of Hank III and that’s where I knew him from as well, the skinny Mohican bass player. But that’s in the past now, he’s working on his solo project and solo has to be taken literally. He’s alone on stage with a guitar ( dating from 1948 ) a bass drum and a mic. We had the pleasure of meeting Joe before the gig and what a great guy it is, really nice to talk to him. But the moment he starts singing something changes, he lurk over the mic like a mad man, I mean we sometimes thought that the only thing missing was ... continue reading

Cramps Frontman Lux Interior R.I.P.
Lux Interior, the awesomely ghoulish frontman for sleazed-up New York rockabilly OGs the Cramps, died today in Glendale, California, as the Daily Swarm reports and an official statement confirms. He suffered from a heart condition. UPDATE: Though various publications list different ages for Interior at the time of his death, his publicist confirms that he was 62.
Interior, born Eric Lee Purkhiser, formed the Cramps with his wife, Kristy "Poison Ivy" Wallace, in 1976. Although the band played CBGB a lot and was a part of the whole NYC birth-of-punk thing, but they didn't really fit in with pummelers like the Ramones and the Dictators ... continue reading

Red Eye Junction @ Ace Café Rumst 1 February
Sunday evening gig at the Ace Café, this time it was Red Eye Junction on stage.
This band from California play some country and americana and are playing their last show of this tour.
For this tour they were reinforced by George from 49 special on steel guitar and Johnny Trash behind the drums and on scratch-o-caster.
The singer has a nasal voice which reminded me of Hank Williams from time to time. Furthermore their music was good old fashioned country, nothing alternative, but more in the lines of Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams and Buck Owens.
Great gig, really fun music to listen to and without a doubt music that ... continue reading

Saturday 17 januari, Ray Gelato and his Giants, “ Handelsbeurs, Gent”
Radio Modern is thundering trough Flanders like a train. Halls fill up to the roof everywhere they go. The organizers defiantly know what they’re doing. If you turn the pages of a magazine or listen to the radio ( yeah even on Studio Brussel), you’ll find their name poppin up somewhere. The mood is always great and those responsible go out of their way to revive the 50’s atmosphere. The Handelsbeurs was an excellent place for this occasion. Even the wallpaper, as background to the seating area, was straight from the fifty’s. The Dutch there, claimed that something like that was unseen in Holland.
Let’s not forget that jive music is coming ... continue reading
