WEEKLY BAND E-MAIL #125.0 April 29th, 2010
By BRIAN ANASTASI bananastasi@comcast.net
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Last week's edition of the Weekly Band E-Mail included a story about Alex Chilton's death in a New Orleans hospital on March 17th. That story came from the website spinner.com, and was based on a story in the New Orleans Times Picayune. It came to my attention through Bob Lefsetz's newsletter that goes out mostly to musicians and people involved in the music industry.
The story concluded with this quote:
Despite his iconic indie rock stature, Chilton's wife said, "He was kind of lazy ... He took it very easy. He'd say, 'Why work when I don't have to?' He wanted a very simple life. He was not interested in fame. He was interested in money -- he wanted enough to be comfortable and to travel."
This quote set off a firestorm of debate about the issue of health care in this country. First, Lefsetz received about 30-35 responses saying that instead of smoking cigarettes (which he did), Alex should have not been so lazy that he didn't purchase health insurance for himself. A day later Lefsetz received about the same amount of responses sticking up for Alex Chilton's desire to lead a simple life.
One of the responses included in Bob's hate mail was this, which should be of interest to every band and musician and everyone else involved in the music industry here in the Commonwealth and across the country. Hopefully the bands and musicians in metro Boston and western Massachusetts will get together to replicate HAAM.
Dear Bob,
Lisa Hickey from C3 Presents forwarded me the article about Alex Chilton. Lisa is a board member of Health Alliance for Austin Musicians (HAAM) and I am the executive director of the organization. I wanted to share with you a bit about what HAAM does and how we work with musicians in Austin to protect their health.
HAAM is a groundbreaking project that provides access to affordable health care for Austin's low-income, uninsured working musicians. Formed in 2005, the core services include primary medical care through Seton Family of Hospitals, basic dental care through St. David's Foundation Dental Program and mental health/addiction recovery services through The SIMS Foundation.
In 2009, after musicians explained that hearing health services were crucial to their profession but financially out of reach, HAAM partnered with Estes Audiology and we now help musicians access hearing exams, education and custom-fit earplugs. In 2010 we will pilot a vision health program with Prevent Blindness. In just 5 years HAAM has served nearly 2,000 musicians, most of whom earn less than $16,000/year. Even though the music industry brings in more than $1 billion to the Austin economy the musicians themselves often work multiple jobs and struggle to pay for rent, food and other basic expenses. Prior to HAAM the musicians were using the emergency room, the most expensive place to receive treatment, for their care. Now they have access to cost-effective, regular medical, dental, mental health and hearing health services.
Here is one musician's story about how HAAM has helped him: HAAM member-musician Adam Gibbs explains, "Before joining HAAM, I was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). I was in and out of the hospital and was forced to quit my band. I couldn't breathe enough to keep up on my drums. The doctors at the hospital only treated me enough to get me out, but I would get sick again, within two weeks, and I would have to go back. That process cost me my entire savings. Then a good friend recommended HAAM to me. They got me set up with a doctor who really cares. She took the time to listen, and prescribed me with medicine that has actually worked. I am back with my band now and have not been back to the ER once. We are in the process of recording a new record and playing shows. I can't stress enough how grateful I am to HAAM. They allowed me to continue to play music!"
I hope you will take a look at our website, http://www.MyHAAM.org to learn more and also to see our Annual Report.

There will be a reunion for folks who used to frequent the club called Spit between 1979 and 1987 this coming Saturday night, May 1st, at Bill's Bar at 5 Lansdowne Street in Boston.
Spit was a black-walled dance- and live-music club at 13 Lansdowne Street. It opened in the fall of 1979, and then thrived in the 1980s until it morphed into Axis in 1987. The building was knocked down when Patrick Lyons, who owned many of the clubs on Lansdowne Street, leased the property to the House of Blues in 1987.
This Saturday's show will be a celebration of both the Spit and Axis scene. Robin Lane and The Chartbusters and Lizzie Borden and The Axes will be playing. DJ's for the night include former WBCN program director Oedipus, Albert O, Willy LeMay, and Henry Santoro. The show runs 8pm-2am.
Tickets are $25, available at http://www.spitboston.com/

Christoper Pappas, front man for the indie rock band The Everyday Visuals, has always loved classical music, and has been interested in conducting and writing for years. "I had some music in my head specifically for a while, but never had the real ambition to write it down, because I always thought, well, it would never be played, until one day I thought - why not? With that thought I had a vision of combining what I know best, indie rock music, with these three new pieces I was writing for orchestra in the more 'classical' genre. The idea I had was this: A rock show, at a rock club, with a full orchestra that I would conduct headlining the whole show. Taking an orchestra and placing them right in the middle of a rock club in front of people that would otherwise never really see an orchestra live."
Christopher's vision will come to fruition at the Middle East down in Cambridge on Wednesday, May 19th. Doors are at 8pm, and the show begins at 9pm. It is an 18+ show, and tickets are $10 in advance or $12 on the day of the show. To purchase tickets online, go to http://www.mideastclub.com/

I got this from Mal Thursday about the Malarians upcoming reunion tour this June:
They said we wouldn't, they said we couldn't, and maybe we probably shouldn't, but the Malarians and Mal Thursday & the Cheetahs will be reuniting to play dates in Massachusetts this June.
I'll be flying in from Austin on Thursday June 3rd to play the Sierra Grille in Northampton with the Cheetahs that night, and then traveling to Boston to play a killer garage show at Church the next night. Then, the following week, it's the return of the Malarians, with shows in Boston, Northampton, Worcester, and Amherst (plus the possibility of a special secret show late Saturday night at an undisclosed location, provided I still have the use of my vocal chords).
Here are the official dates:
Mal Thursday and the Cheetahs
Thursday, June 3rd Sierra Grille in Northampton
Friday, June 4th Church of Boston with Lyres, The Coffin Lids, and The Immolators
The Malarians
Wednesday, June 9th Church of Boston
Thursday, June 10th Sierra Grille in Northampton with The Immolators
Friday, June 11th Lucky Dog Music Hall in Worcester with Lyres and The Immolators

Watertown, MA based singer-songwriter Ellen Cross will be celebrating the release of her CD ‘The Birds Still Sing’ at Club Passim on Saturday June 5th. The disc is a return to writing and performing for Cross who earned a ‘Best of Boston’award as ‘New Folk Act’ in the early 90s. She kicked off the release of this new disc in January with her first national television appearance on ‘The Bonnie Hunt Show.’ This latest selection of songs was created primarily in the singer’sliving room in the wee hours of the morning or the dark quiet of the night.
“I have two small children now, so I have learned to get things done in small slices of time. Many of the tracks on this CD were recorded in the bit of time I had between dropping off the kids at school and before I went work. Some of the tracks were done while my family was sleeping soundly in bed down the hall.”
After recording basic tracks she drew from the deep well of Boston talent to flesh out the songs. Some of the musicians who stopped by to play on the disc are Kevin Barry (Dennis Brennan, Paula Cole), Richard Gates (Dennis Brennan), Kimon Kirk (Session Americana), David Champagne (Treat Her Right) and Alan Williams (Knots and Crosses, Birdsong at Morning).
Also appearing at the CD Release/Celebration will be Birdsong at Morning, a new Bolton based trio that is featured on the new Patty Larkin release. They are Alan Williams, Darleen Wilson and Greg Porter, a musician/ producer supergroup of the Boston folk-rock scene.

As compact disc sales continue to decline, Universal Music Group, the world’s largest record company, announced last week it will roll out test CDs at $10 or less. Just in time for this year's annual Record Store Day celebration, the company’s Velocity program is a perceived lifeline for both the company and brick-and-mortar music retailers. Later this year, Universal plans to release new albums by Godsmack, Game, Taio Cruz and more for less than $10.
“The jury is out on this whole thing,” said Billboard reporter Ed Christman, who has been covering the negotiations between Universal and retailers. “There’s no doubt that lower prices drive volume. But can these price points be profitable at any volume? Allegedly, 90 percent of records don’t make money, and hits carry the labels. But at this price that may not work.”
Newbury Comics CEO Mike Dreese believes 80 percent of the discs his chain stocks need be priced at $10 or less before he can start promoting the end of high-cost CDs. “It would make a huge difference to our business if we saw the whole store priced at $9.99,” he said.
Dreese thinks lowering the price of CDs to $10 is a smart move. Newbury Comics already prices many of its CDs in the low double digits, even taking a 50 cent loss on many to increase foot traffic. It’s a strategy that’s allowed Newbury Comics to survive when the likes of Tower, HMV and Virgin have disappeared from the landscape.
But Dreese is concerned that Universal - even with its almost 30 percent of the CD market share - isn’t big enough to push the whole industry to adopt a new price structure. “If other label groups don’t go along,” he said, “the effort won’t be effective.”
This year, both the CD and the CD store are on the endangered species list. CD sales have been cut in half in the last decade. And the slide continues: Sales are already down 15 percent from 2009, and CD shelf space at Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy continues to shrink.
“You used to have the scenesters or hipsters or whatever you want to call them all working at record stores,” Dreese said. “They were there to help and offer advice. Now you have a clerk in a smock in the Wal-Mart stocking only bestsellers.”

This from Spinner.com:
Alex Chilton's unexpected death last month at age 59 might have been prevented if he had health insurance. According to a report in the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Chilton's wife, Laura Kersting, says that although he had symptoms of heart trouble, he declined immediate treatment due to lack of coverage.
Chilton, who at age 16 had a No. 1 US hit single with "The Letter" in 1967 as lead singer of The Box Tops, passed away just days before he was to appear at a reunion show in Austin, Texas, of his '70s group, the widely influential power-pop band Big Star.
"At least twice in the week before his fatal heart attack, Chilton experienced shortness of breath and chills while cutting grass," the article reports. "But he did not seek medical attention, Kersting said, in part because he had no health insurance."
The Times-Picayune reveals that on the morning of March 17th, the Big Star frontman called Kersting at work to tell her he wasn't well. She made it home before the ambulance and rushed him to the emergency room, running a red light at his insistence, before he lost consciousness when they were just a block from the emergency room.
The piece also takes a close look at Chilton's private life in New Orleans, where the Memphis-raised Louisiana transplant lived in the mixed neighborhood of Treme, where he rode out Hurricane Katrina in 2005. "He identified with black people more than white people," Kersting said. "He was very much a part of this neighborhood." Neighbors across the street marveled as Chilton cut his grass with a manual push mower.
Despite his iconic indie rock stature, Chilton's wife said, "He was kind of lazy ... He took it very easy. He'd say, 'Why work when I don't have to?' He wanted a very simple life. He was not interested in fame. He was interested in money -- he wanted enough to be comfortable and to travel."

Jenee Halstead celebrates the release of her EP Hollow Bones at Passim's in Cambridge on Tuesday, April 27th at 8pm. Singer-songwriter Jacqueline Francis will be opening. General admission is $12, and tickets may be purchased online at http://www.clubpassim.org/
Jenee's voice sways back and forth between frailty and strength, drawing inspiration from Emmylou Harris, June Carter, and Patty Griffin Hollow Bones starts with roots, blues, and honky-tonk, and explores the future of Americana with long-time writing partners David Wax of the David Wax Museum and Tom Combs of Pretty Pennies.
Jenee grew up in the Inland Empire mining country of the West, a singing tomboy with a restless heart. Escaping a collapsed love affair, she left the high desert quiet for the fertile folk environs of Cambridge. Backed by her nuanced, small-bodied guitar, she draws from the haunting melodies of the Depression Era, patiently distilling folk, bluegrass, and electro to create music that Matt Smith, Passim's long-time manager, describes as "fresh and new, yet familiar and timeless."
The EP features the talents of Lyle Brewer on guitar (Sarah Borges, Miss Tess), Greg Glassman on drums and vocals (Sacred Shakers, David Wax Museum), David Wax, Jim Fitting on harmonica (Session Americana, Treat Her Right, Bonnie Raitt), Julie Metcalf on fiddle (Folk Arts Quartet), and David Piper, upright bass, Wurlitzer, ukelele, Cajon (Pretty Pennies), and Tom Combs on acoustic guitar (Pretty Pennies). The contributions of these esteemed musicians, along with producing the album in the intimate cinder block studio at Starlight Sound in Somerville, gives Hollow Bones a unique balance that compliments its declaration of moving onward and upward while not forgetting where you've been.
Jenee has recruited a wealth of talent to join her on stage for the celebration of the release. Tony Savarino (guitar), Jared Seabrook (drums), Conor Smith (mandolin), Julie Metcalf (fiddle), and David Piper (upright bass) This ensemble’s show promises to charge headlong into a new day, from the eclectic and dreamy sounds of her last album, The River Grace, to her latest and very spirited entry.

The Festival will feature Wilco as well as drummer Glen Kotche’s On Fillmore, lead guitarist Nels Cline’s Nels Cline Singers, keyboardist Mikael Jorgensen’s Pronto, and the Auturm Defense featuring bassist John Stirratt and multi-instrumentalist Pat Sansone.
The three-day festival will include additional musical performances along with a comedy stage, a concert-poster screening demonstration, planned workshops, film, video installations and DJs. Fans will have the chance to check out interactive installations and exhibits such as Solid Sound Stompbox Station, an interactive guitar pedal exhibit created and demonstrated by Cline.
Ticketholders can also wander around the entire MASS MoCA campus and take a peek at the 150,000 square feet of galleries. Exhibits currently on display include the Sol LeWitt Retrospective, Inigo Manglano Ovalle’s “Gravity is a Force to be Reckoned with,” Petah Coyne’s “Material World: Sculpture to Environment,” Leonard Nimoy’s “Secret Selves” and a new installation by Michael Oatman.
Tickets went on sale last Friday, April 9th, through the band’s official Web site, http://www.wilcoworld.net as well as through http://www.solidsoundfestival.com Early birds can get tickets to the three-day event for $86.50 (including all fees and parking). If you purchase tickets after June 1st, a ticket will set you back $99.50 (including all fees and parking).
In late April the band plays Japan followed by New Zealand and Australia.
Solid Sound Festival takes place in the middle of two treks through Europe. The first round of dates is set for May 20-31 followed by another set of shows September 12-27. On September 3rd U.S. fans can catch Jeff Tweedy and co. at Jazz Aspen Snowmass festival in Snowmass, Colo.

A story in The Boston Herald said that last fall, a group of musicians were at a party in Roslindale. “Seems like everybody here knows some Beatles songs,” the wife of one said. “You guys should make an album.” “I sent an e-mail to local musicians, saying anybody who wants to contribute can,” said Lowbudget Records owner Tim Casey, who produced the album and contributed versions of “Across the Universe” under his moniker Doctor X and “Within You, Without You” with his band Chillgroove. “But everybody had to do their own recordings and send them in.” According to The Herald, what's amazing is that 18 Boston area artists sent in recordings of 18 different Beatles songs.
The result is "Across Their Universe: Lowbudget Records Does the Songs of The Beatles." The CD release party was at Johnny D's in Somerville on Tuesday, April 13th. As of this writing, the second pressing of the hard copy of the CD is sold out. However, you can purchase a digital copy for $13.99, which includes shipping and handling, online through either amazon.com or ITunes, or at http://www.lowbudgetrecords.com/

Here is the obituary for Alex Chilton from The Memphis Commercial-Appeal:
Alex Chilton, the pop hitmaker, cult icon and Memphis rock iconoclast best known as a member of 1960s pop-soul act the Box Tops and the 1970s power-pop act Big Star, died Wednesday [March 17th] at a hospital in New Orleans. The singer, songwriter and guitarist was 59.
"I'm crushed. We're all just crushed," said John Fry, owner of Memphis' Ardent Studios and a longtime friend of Chilton's. "This sudden death experience is never something that you're prepared for. And yet it occurs."
Chilton had been complaining about his health earlier Wednesday, Fry said. He was taken by paramedics from his home to the emergency room but could not be revived.
Chilton and Big Star had been scheduled to play Saturday as part of the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas. The band was also scheduled to play at the Levitt Shell in Memphis on May 15. It's unknown what will happen to those shows.
The Memphis-born Chilton rose to prominence at age 16 when his gruff vocals powered the massive Box Tops hit "The Letter," as well as "Cry Like a Baby" and "Neon Rainbow."
After the Box Tops broke up in 1970, Chilton had a brief solo run in New York before returning to Memphis. He soon joined forces with a group of Anglo-pop-obsessed musicians -- fellow songwriter/guitarist Chris Bell, bassist Andy Hummel and drummer Jody Stephens -- to form Big Star.
The group became the flagship act for Ardent's Stax-distributed label. Big Star's 1972 debut album, #1 Record, met with critical acclaim but poor sales.
The group briefly disbanded, but reunited without Bell to record the album Radio City. Released in 1974, the second album suffered a similar fate, plagued by Stax's distribution woes.
The group made one more album, Third/Sister Lovers, with just Chilton and Stephens -- and it, too, was a minor masterpiece. Darker and more complex than the band's previous pop-oriented material, it remained unreleased for several years.
In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine named all three Big Star albums to its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
"It's a fork in the road that a lot of different bands stemmed from," said Jeff Powell, a respected local producer who worked on some of Chilton's records. "If you're drawing a family tree of American music, they're definitely a branch."
In the mid-'70s, Chilton began what would be a polarizing solo career, releasing several albums of material, including 1979's Like Flies on Sherbet -- a strange, chaotically recorded mix of originals and obscure covers that divided fans and critics.
Chilton also began performing with local roots-punk deconstructionists the Panther Burns.
In the early '80s, Chilton left Memphis for New Orleans, where he worked a variety of jobs and stopped performing for several years. But interest in his music from a new generation of alternative bands, including the Replacements and R.E.M., brought him back to the stage in the mid-'80s.
He continued to record and tour as a solo act throughout the decade. Finally, in the early '90s, the underground cult based around Big Star had become so huge that the group was enticed to reunite with a reconfigured lineup. The band, featuring original member Stephens plus Jon Auer and Ken Stringfellow of the Posies, continued to perform regularly over the next 16 years. Big Star became the subject of various articles, books and CD reissue campaigns, including the September 2009 release of the widely hailed box set, Keep an Eye on the Sky.
"I played with Alex for eight or 10 years regularly, and he was one of the best musicians I ever knew," said Doug Garrison. "That's what really locked the first time I played with him, this feel on the guitar. He just played flawlessly. He had a limited technique, but he did what he did really well."
Chilton was often described as "mercurial," but those who knew him well described a man with a keen sense of humor, a tremendous musician and a generous friend. "He was the only person on a record I've ever worked with where you'd come up with a horn arrangement, and he'd say, 'Look, I'm going to make you guys a co-writer on the song now,'" said Jim Spake, who played sax on the most recent Big Star record.
Chilton is survived by his wife, Laura, a son, Timothy, and a sister, Cecilia.
"When some people pass, you say it was the end of an era. In this case, it's really true," said Van Duren, a fellow Memphis musician who knew Chilton for decades. "It puts an end to the Big Star thing, and that's a very sad thing."

The Concord Music Group announced the acquisition of storied Massachusetts-based independent music label Rounder Records. Rounder, celebrating its 40th year as the world’s leading American roots music label, is a major force in a broad range of musical genres including bluegrass, Americana, singer-songwriter, Cajun and Zydeco, and children’s music. Rounder possesses an extraordinary recorded catalog and current artist roster including bluegrass superstar Alison Krauss, singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter, banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck, actor/musician Steve Martin, jazz singer Madeleine Peyroux, the iconic Robert Plant, notable children’s artist/activist Raffi and country legend Willie Nelson, to name just a few. The acquisition of Rounder and its essential collection of over 3,000 masters combined with Concord Music Group’s rich catalog of more than 10,000 master recordings strengthens Concord’s status as one of the world’s most significant independent record companies, with a leadership position in multiple genres.
Rounder’s creative and marketing functions will continue to be based in Boston and its owners and founders Ken Irwin, Bill Nowlin and Marian Leighton Levy will remain active with the company in a creative and advisory capacity. The company’s senior management will also remain in place: John Virant will continue as the President of Rounder; Sheri Sands will stay on as General Manager. Operating synergies will be achieved by combining the sales, administrative and support functions of the two companies.
Rounder, founded in 1970 by Cambridge folkies, Irwin, Nowlin, and Leighton Levy, has been at the center of nearly all of the American roots revivals that have reshaped the music world in the last 40 years. The self-titled 1975 record by J.D. Crowe and the New South (featuring future stars Ricky Skaggs, Tony Rice and Jerry Douglas) revitalized bluegrass and inspired such modern superstars as Rounder’s own Alison Krauss, who is the most decorated female artist in the history of the Grammy® Awards and has also sold over eight million albums and DVDs. Her collaboration with Led Zeppelin front-man Robert Plant on the album Raising Sand emerged as one of 2007’s major critical and word-of-mouth sales success stories. The album was RIAA certified platinum in early 2008 and won five Grammy® Awards including Album and Record of the Year in 2009. An unequaled leader in the preservation and re-release of precious historic recordings, Rounder has brought the music of Jelly Roll Morton, Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, the Carter Family, Jimmie Rodgers and Mississippi John Hurt back to vibrant life. In addition, their dazzling work on the epic anthologies from the Library of Congress and the Alan Lomax Collection has been universally respected and admired.
Glen Barros, President and CEO of the Concord Music Group, said, “The combination of Concord and Rounder makes so much sense on a creative, strategic and cultural level. With the addition of Rounder, Concord is gaining a magnificent catalog of recordings, the opportunity to work with more of the world’s most amazing artists and a company filled with some great people. Plus, Rounder’s uncompromising commitment to authenticity and intense independent spirit is perfectly in line with everything that Concord is about.”
Norman Lear, Concord Music Group Chairman and co-owner added, “We couldn’t be more honored to join together with Rounder in our collective mission to deliver great, timeless music.” Marian Leighton Levy, co-Rounder Founder, concurs and adds, “For us, it’s always been about the music. We have long been aware of Concord’s commitment to great catalogue labels within a vibrant and contemporary independent context, and feel the Concord Records Group provides not only a great home for our music and artists, but also a stronger and more secure position going forward.”
John Virant, President of Rounder, said “We’ve always been the little label that could, and our new affiliation with Concord – another fiercely independent organization that shares our core values -- ensures that we can remain true to our central calling: discovering and nurturing quality musical talent.”

One of the last remaining brick-and-mortar record stores in western Massachusetts closed its doors on March 31st. Platterpus Records started out in Westfield about 28 years ago, and did a very brisk business in the Whip City for 25 years. Then owner Dave Witthaus decided to move his operation to the Hampshire Mall in Hadley about three years ago. Platterpus began it's mall life in a store in the eastern end of the mall near the Hallmark Gold Crown Store, a bit off the beaten path, and then moved up to a larger and more visible space in the center of the mall by the Food Court and next to Steve and Barry's about a year and a half ago. But as expected in this day and age, Platterpus just could not cater to an audience that now chooses to cherry-pick their favorite songs rather than listen to entire CD's. Hampshire County now has two independently owned brick-and-mortar record stores left, Turn It Up! on Pleasant Street by the corner of Main Street in Northampton, and Mystery Train, on East Pleasant Street in Amherst, and a location of Boston's Newbury Comics chain at 50 Main Street in Amherst. The Berkshires has one brick-and-mortar record store left, Andy Poncherello's Rebel Sound Records on North Street in downtown Pittsfield. However, Andy recently told me that he too will be closing if he doesn't pay the rent by May 1st.

Any conversation about the history of Boston nightlife eventually ends up focusing on either The Boston Tea Party or The Rat in Kenmore Square, depending on the age of those who are doing the talking. Like CBGB's in the Bowery District of New York City's Lower East Side, The Rat, which was owned by Jim Harold, was ground zero for what was then the liberating sound of punk rock from both the U.S. and the U.K. which, of course, was a direct reaction to the over-production of the simpler British Invasion music and San Francisco sound of the 1960s and '70s. Also, both The Rat and CBGB's were willing to take chances with the burgeoning local "new wave" music scene happening around them, giving the best of the new local bands a launching pad for their careers.
In his book, "The Sound of Our Town," Brett Milano said:
"The Rat was a dump, but it was our dump. And if you did any rocking in Boston from 1976 through the mid-nineties, it was your dump as well. You couldn't have asked for a place that had less to do with the big productions of arena rock or the tinsel and glamour of disco (or, for that matter, the wanna-be glamour of Narcissus, the slightly tacky disco across the street). Wedged in the heart of Kenmore Square, the Rat was nothing more than a basement that looked and felt like a fallout shelter."
The Rat survived for 20 years while Boston University bought up and gentrified nearly every other building in Kenmore Square. According to Brett Milano, in 1997 Jim Harold gave in to B.U.'s buyout offer, and instead of having an all-star closing night, he hired Gang Green to trash the place, bringing to a close one of the most legendary clubs in Boston rock history.
In a way it is fitting that any sort of Rat "reunion" show would be held at Club Bohemia, which is downstairs at the Cantab Lounge on Mass. Ave. in Cambridge every weekend. Mickey Bliss, who runs Club Bohemia, is a modern day version of Jim Harold, always on the lookout for up-and-coming bands, and many many Boston bands get their start at Club Bohemia before going on to bigger and better clubs.
So there will be a Rat reunion show at Club Bohemia this Saturday, April 3rd, beginning at 8:30pm. Admission is $10. Here is the lineup:
8:30pm The Flashcubes
9pm I-IV-V
9:30pm The Varmints
10pm The Boize
10:30pm Fox Pass
11pm Third Rail
11:30pm Classic Ruins
12midnight The Last Ones

The Wormtown Trading Company, which is based in Worcester, runs the Strange Creek Festival every Memorial Day weekend at Camp Kee-Wanee in Greenfield. But the people who run Wormtown say that there are so many great bands in this state that there isn't enough time to present them all at Strange Creek every year that they are having a Battle of the Bands to choose a band to open the festival.
The Battle of the Bands will be at The Elevens in Northampton every Wednesday night in April beginning on April 7th. There will be four bands each week, and they will be listed in the Listings edition of the Weekly Band E-Mail. All four Battles begin at 9pm, and admission is free. However, as with all shows at The Elevens (except on the afternoon of First Night), they are 21+

There will be a three-day tribute to Ray Neades at Church in Boston beginning Thursday, April 8th. Neades passed away in his sleep on December 14th, 2009 at the age of 42. Ray was best known for his part as songwriter and guitarist in the band Miss Reed, which was hugely popular in both the Boston area and western Mass. in the 1990's.
The tribute to Ray at Church is affectionately titled "Rest in Beef," referring to his commanding size over the guitar. Doors for all three shows are at 7pm, and they begin at 8pm and are 21+. A donation of $15 will be asked at the door each night. Proceeds go to help Ray's family with expenses incurred by his death. Here is the schedule:
Thursday, April 8th
Lenny Lashley; Full Body Anchor; AM Stereo; The Marvels; The Swinedells; Jay Allen and the Archcriminals with special guest Vicky Sixx.

There is a great blues show coming to the Route 63 Roadhouse in Millers Falls on Sunday night, April 25th, beginning at 7pm. Headlining will be Mark Hummel and the Blues Survivors. Mark is probably better known for putting together Blues Harmonica Blowout tours, but this time he will be touring with his band in support of their new release "Retroactive". Joining Mark will be R.W. Grigsby on bass and Marty Dodson on drums, with special guest Rusty Zinn on guitar.
John Mayall is quoted as saying of Mark Hummel "The spirit of Little Walter lives on! If you miss the sound of those early Chess records, this one's for you. Mark not only blows Harp like no one else I know, there's plenty of tasty guitar from Rusty Zinn to keep the grooves sizzling."
Note that this is a Sunday night show, which is a bit unusual for The Roadhouse, and that it begins at 7pm rather than the usual 9:30pm. For ticket information, call the club at (413) 659-3384. This show is sure to sell out, so you might want to find out what the ticket price will be and mail a check to the club to reserve your tickets. All shows at The Route 63 Roadhouse are 21+

On the heels of her successful appearance at this year’s SXSW(r), singer/songwriter and producer Rachael Sage embarks on a 32-city tour in support of her new album ‘Delancey Street’. Sage & her band The Sequins will hit the road this April and tour through the summer. Highlights will include appearances with Grammy® Winner Shawn Colvin and Men At Work front-man Colin Hay. The tour will make a stop at Passim's in Cambridge this coming Tuesday, April 6th. Another MPress artist, Seth Glier, will open the show. Seth Glier will also be the headliner at the Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton on Thursday, April 8th at 7pm, with Luke Brindley opening.
‘Delancey Street’ is the ninth album by Rachel Sage. She describes it as an “album about change,” creatively inspired by her ancestral and current home, New York’s Lower East Side. The record features eleven original compositions, plus an inspired cover of the Hall and Oates classic ‘Rich Girl’. A 13th song, Rachel’s understated rendition of ‘Fame’, will be offered as a Bonus Track on iTunes. The album will be available digitally on Tuesday, April 20th and in stores May 18th. The album is a musical exploration of identity, cultural heritage, and how where we come from shapes the paths we ultimately take in life.

The Iron Horse Entertainment Group has announced the first two shows of the 2010 season at Mountain Park in Holyoke, the state's newest outdoor amphitheatre.
Jam band .moe will take to the stage on Sunday, June 27th, beginning at 5pm. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 9th. Supporting acts will be announced soon.
The second show will be on Saturday, July 24th, beginning at 7pm. It will feature The Flaming Lips, Stardeath, and White Dwarfs. Tickets are this show are $37.50, and go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 2nd.
Tickets for both shows may be purchased online at http://www.iheg.com As with all IHEG shows (except for the Basement in Northampton), both shows are ALL AGES, although children 13 and under must be accompanied by an adult. To get to Mountain Park, go on the Mass. Pike to exit four, take Route 91 north, follow that to exit 18, route 5, and take a right at the end of the exit ramp.

The Boston Globe is reporting that Aerosmith and J. Geils will be playing at Fenway Park in Boston on Friday, August 13th and Saturday, August 14th. Speaking of Fenway Park, the opening day for 2010 is this coming Sunday, April 4th. For the first time in Fenway's history, opening day will actually be at night, as the Red Sox take on the New York Yankees sometime around 8pm.
The baseball season in Boston always has a major impact on many of the clubs listed in the Weekly Band E-Mail. Especially affected are Church on Kilmarnock Street, The House of Blues and all the other clubs on Lansdowne Street, and Oliver's at the Cask n Flagon on Brookline Avenue. Your best bet is to always take the MBTA. Even though the subway and trolleys stop at 12:30am and most bus lines and commuter rails stop at midnight, it is worth having to leave a show a bit early rather than pay up to $150 to park in a lot by Fenway Park when the Red Sox are in town.

The much-anticipated iPad(r) from Apple goes on sale this Saturday, April 3rd.

Brett Milano, the author of "The Sound of Our Town," the definitive book on the Boston music scene, will begin doing a weekly local music show on Free Form BCN. The program will begin this Sunday, March 28th, 3-5pm. People in metro Boston can listen on the radio at 100.7-HD3. People outside the 617 area code (and even some of those within it) will have to listen via the Facebook page. Just go to http://www.facebook.com do a search for Free Form BCN, and follow the link on the left to the stream. And Sam Kopper has also created an app for FFBCN so that people tech savvy enough to do so can get the stream on their smartphones.
Free Form BCN is the modern-day version of WBCN radio, which ended over 41 years at 104.1FM as a rock station on August 15th, 2009. The station runs automated 24/7 online at http://www.wbcn.com (click on the left Free Form BCN box), but WBCN's first rock program director, Sam Kopper, is doing more and more live programming from his basement in Hingham.

In last week's issue of The Weekly Band E-Mail I had a listing of Massachusetts bands and musicians who would be making the trek out to Austin, TX to be part of this year's SXSW(r) Music Festival and Media Conference. But, of course, I missed someone. Actually two someones. Ashfield resident Seth Glier, whose latest CD is "The Trouble With People," and Boston-based singer-songwriter Melissa Ferrick.
Both Seth and Melissa have CDs out on the MPress label, and will be part of the MPress Fest, which will be at The Soho Lounge in Austin on Saturday, March 20th. Doors to the MPress Fest open at 12noon, and the music begins shortly thereafter. Also appearing will be MPress artists Rachel Sage, The Mieka Canon featuring Mieka Pauley, The Paper Raincoat featuring Amber Rubarth and Alex Wong, and Australian pop rock act The Kin.

The Institute for the Musical Arts (IMA) in Goshen is offering four Sunday concerts this spring featuring teachers and students from its summer programs.
Vocalist Evelyn Harris, who has been teaching at the IMA since 2002, will kick off the series on Sunday, April 4th with a concert of gospel music. She will be accompanied by pianist Joel Martin.
The second show, on Sunday, April 11th, will feature edgy folk-rock singer-songwriter Kristen Ford. Opening for Kristen will be the power pop trio The Feel, and solo artist Sophia Rehmus. Ford started as a camper at IMA in 2003, was a teaching intern, and recorded her first EP, "Filthy Nasty," at the IMA studio. The Feel formed out of the IMA Rock 'n Roll Performance Program, and has been garnering quite a lot of attention for their quirky, upbeat original music. Sophia Rehmus, also an alum of both the performance and recording program, is a member of Charlemont Academy's The Freightshakers and has started performing solo.
The third show, on Sunday, May 2nd, will feature Christine Ohlman. Christine taught her first master classes at the Rock 'n Roll Performance Program for teens last summer. She is the bee-hived, blue-eyed soul singer in the Saturday Night Live Band. Christine will be performing with her band Rebel Montez. Also performing that night will be very special guest Mitch Chakour.
The final show, on Sunday, May 23rd, will feature Naia Kete. Naia was in the pilot program for the girls'rock camps, and attended the Studio Engineering, Producing, and Recording program. Naia was the very first IMA rock camp alum to record a debut EP, "Sweet Music," at the IMA studio. Naia and her band will be moving to Los Angeles this summer, and this will be a chance to see them off.
All four shows will be at the IMA Big Barn at 165 Cape Street, Route 112, in Goshen, and begin at 7pm. For complete information on the IMA and the programs it offers, and to purchase tickets for any one of these four shows, go to

It may have been 20 years ago today since Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play, but it was 42 years ago Monday, March 15th that WBCN in Boston changed from a classical music station to what would become one of America's first free-form rock stations.
In a move that reflected the change in the way people consume music and what they listen to on the radio, WBCN's parent company, CBS, took WBCN off the air back on August 15th, moved WBMX from 98.5FM to the 104.1 spot, and replaced the 98.5 spot with an all-sports talk station called WBZ-FM.
Now WBCN is split in half, with both halves being available on HighDef radios in Boston. The early days of WBCN, from the beginning 42 years ago to roughly 1980, has been re-named FreeFormBCN, and can be heard on 100.7 HD-3. The latter years of WBCN, from about 1980 to when it left the air, is simply The Rock of Boston, and can be heard on 98.5HD-2.
FreeFormBCN is being run out of Sam Kopper's basement studio in Hingham and has up to this point been mostly automated. But on Monday from 10am to 5pm, Sam and various others involved in the on-air WBCN over the years had a great birthday party. Dropping by to help Sam out was Albert O. and Amy Brooks, and joining him by phone was Charles Laquidara, Joe Rogers (Mississippi Harold Wilson), Danny Schechter, and Mark Hamilton.
Sam Kopper, who was WBCN's first rock program director back in the day, is quick to point out that the new FreeFormBCN is not a nostalgia trip, but rather "a gathering of rock and all of its relatives." While there is music by such pioneers as Little Richard and Chuck Berry, there is also lots of music by Boston bands and the newest of the new music.
FreeFormBCN goes live about twice a week, as Sam tests the equipment and gets ready to go back to being live 24/7 once again. FFBCN has a Facebook page, which you can search for and become a fan of. Until then, you can listen to Robby the Robot anytime by going to http://www.wbcn.com and clicking on the left box.

Brett Milano says in his book "The Sound of Our Town" that "If you wanted to experience punk from a safe distance, there was a place for that too." That place was Spit at 13 Lansdowne Street in Boston. Milano says "...here the scene was a weird combination of glamour and squalour. Instead of disco balls, there were glaring purple and yellow lights, which gave everyone's face a postnuclear glow."
There is going to be a Spit reunion show on Saturday, May 1st at Bill's Bar, 5 Lansdowne Street in Boston. The website for the reunion is under construction as I write this, but should be up and running any day now. It is at

Saturday, February 20th marked the 7th anniversary of the horrific fire at the Station Nightclub in West Warwick, RI, which trapped and killed 100 people and injured 200 others within a matter of minutes, and in the process becoming the nation's fourth deadliest nightclub fire in history.
One of the survivors of the fire, Gina Russo, made a last-minute decision to go see Great White perform at the Station that night at the urging of her fiance Fred Crisostomi. Fred was one of the 100 who perished. Even though Gina made it out alive, she was first taken to a Providence hospital, and then taken to Shriner's Hospital in Boston, where she was placed in a medically-induced coma for 11 weeks. On April 30th, Gina was transferred to a rehab facility, and 113 days later, on June 13th, she returned home to begin nine months of intense physical therapy.
Gina suffered burns on 50 percent of her body: second-degree burns on her hands and forearms and third-degree burns on her shoulder, face and scalp. Her scalp wounds burned down to her skull, and the shell of her left ear melted away.
Gina, along with Providence-based writer Paul Lonardo, has written a book about her experience titled "From the Ashes: Surviving the Station Nightclub Fire." It is a self-published book, and is available for $14.95 (plus $4.50 shipping and handling) at http://www.buybooksontheweb.com A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the book will go to burn care facilities.
The Station nightclub fire prompted a change in all nightclubs in Massachusetts. If a club does not have a sprinkler system, they are only allowed to have a total of 99 people in the building at any one time. This includes all of the staff and members of the band. If the club is having an extra big name act, they can apply for a special permit from the local fire chief to increase that number to 150.

Pollstar, the concert industry's trade publication, reports that the new House of Blues in Boston sold more tickets in 2009 than any other club in the world. After a gala grand opening on February 19th, 2009, the House of Blues played host to nearly 250 shows, selling 314,597 tickets in the process. The Pollstar report does not mean that the House of Blues was the world's most profitable club in 2009, but it did outdraw other well-established venues across the country, such as the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, the Fillmore in San Francisco, and the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. Pretty impressive considering it wasn't even open for the whole year. The original Boston version of the House of Blues opened in Harvard Square in 1992, and remained open for 11 years. The new location on Lansdowne Street is the site of the former clubs Axis and Avalon.

I often include YouTube videos in the Weekly Band E-Mail. So it was with great interest that I read this article recently. It was written by Damian Kulash, Jr., lead singer and guitarist of the band OK Go.
My band is famous for music videos. We direct them ourselves or with the help of friends, we shoot them on shoestring budgets and, like our songs, albums and concerts, we see them as creative works and not as our record company’s marketing tool.
In 2006 we made a video of us dancing on treadmills for our song Here It Goes Again.” We shot it at my sister’s house without telling EMI, our record company, and posted it on the fledgling YouTube without EMI’s permission. Technically, this put us afoul of our contract, since we need our record company’s approval to distribute copies of the songs that they finance. It also exposed YouTube to all sorts of liability for streaming an EMI recording across the globe. But back then record companies saw videos as advertisements, so if my band wanted to produce them, and if YouTube wanted to help people watch them, EMI wasn’t going to get in the way.
As the age of viral video dawned, “Here It Goes Again” was viewed millions, then tens of millions of times. It brought big crowds to our concerts on five continents, and by the time we returned to the studio, 700 shows, one Grammy and nearly three years later, EMI’s ledger had a black number in our column. To the band, “Here It Goes Again” was a successful creative project. To the record company, it was a successful, completely free advertisement.
Now we’ve released a new album and a couple of new videos. But the fans and bloggers who helped spread “Here It Goes Again” across the Internet can no longer do what they did before, because our record company has blocked them from embedding our video on their sites. Believe it or not, in the four years since our treadmill dance got such attention, YouTube and EMI have actually made it harder to share our videos.
A few years ago, reeling from plummeting record sales, record companies went after YouTube, demanding payment for streams of their material. They saw videos, suddenly, as potential sources of revenue. YouTube agreed to pay the record companies a tiny amount for each stream, but — here’s the crux of the problem — they pay only when the videos are viewed on YouTube’s own site.
Embedded videos — those hosted by YouTube but streamed on blogs and other Web sites — don’t generate any revenue for record companies, so EMI disabled the embedding feature. Now we can’t post the YouTube versions of our videos on our own site, nor can our fans post them on theirs. If you want to watch them, you have to do so on YouTube.
But this isn’t how the Internet works. Viral content doesn’t spread just from primary sources like YouTube or Flickr. Blogs, Web sites and video aggregators serve as cultural curators, daily collecting the items that will interest their audiences the most. By ignoring the power of these tastemakers, our record company is cutting off its nose to spite its face.
The numbers are shocking: When EMI disabled the embedding feature, views of our treadmill video dropped 90 percent, from about 10,000 per day to just over 1,000. Our last royalty statement from the label, which covered six months of streams, shows a whopping $27.77 credit to our account.
Clearly the embedding restriction is bad news for our band, but is it worth it for EMI? The terms of YouTube’s deals with record companies aren’t public, but news reports say that the labels receive $.004 to $.008 per stream, so the most EMI could have grossed for the streams in question is a little over $5,400.
It’s decisions like these that have earned record companies a reputation for being greedy and short-sighted. And by and large they deserve it. But before we cheer for the demise of the big bad machine, it’s important to remember that record companies provide the music industry with a vital service: they’re risk aggregators. Or at least, they used to be.
To go from playing at a local club once a month to actually supporting yourself with music requires big investments in touring, recording and promotion — investments young musicians can’t afford. My band didn’t sign a contract with EMI because we believed labels magically created stars. We signed because no banker in his right mind would give a band the startup capital it needs.
Record companies, on the other hand, didn’t used to expect that all their advances would be repaid. They spread the risk by betting on hundreds of artists at once, and they recouped their investments by taking the lion’s share of the profits on the few acts that succeeded.
At least, this was all true when we signed our deal in 2000. Today, as the record industry’s revenue model has collapsed with the digitization of its biggest commodities, companies are cutting back spending on all but their biggest stars, and not signing nearly as many new acts. If record companies can’t adapt to this new world, they will die out; and without advances, so will the futures of many talented bands.
In these tight times, it’s no surprise that EMI is trying to wring revenue out of everything we make, including our videos. But it needs to recognize the basic mechanics of the Internet. Curbing the viral spread of videos isn’t benefiting the company’s bottom line, or the music it’s there to support. The sooner record companies realize this, the better — though I fear it may already be too late.

On the afternoon of Sunday, February 7th, Signature Sounds recording artists gathered at Memorial Hall in Shelburne Falls to raise money for Partners in Health. That benefit raised over $17,000.
If you weren't able to make the show, or if you would like to help even further, Signature Sounds has put together a special "Help For Haiti" CD featuring Chris Smither, Richard Shindell, Eilen Jewell, Crooked Still, Kris Delmhorst, Joy Kills Sorrow, and Patty Larkin. CD's are $9.99 each. You can view the track listing and order copies online at

Speaking of raising money to help the people of Haiti, last week's Band E-Mail had details of the re-recording of "We Are the World," which will be premiered during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on NBC television this Friday, February 12th.
"American Idol" judge Simon Cowell, along with London's Sun newspaper, put together a similar effort last week in the U.K. with 21 artists, including Leona Lewis, Robbie Williams, John Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, Mariah Carey, Cheryl Cole (of Girls Aloud), Shane Filan (of Westlife), James Blunt, Susan Boyle, Michael Buble, JLS, and several people from the U.K. TV show "The X-Factor" and "Britain's Got Talent". The song was debuted on the Chris Moyles morning show on BBC Radio One last Thursday, February 4th, the video was available for download on Sunday, and physical copies of the CD (the U.K. apparently still has record stores) were available on Monday.
Here is the video for the British re-make of REM's 1992 single "Everybody Hurts":
Be forewarned that the images in the video are graphic and disturbing, but they convey the magnitude of the tragedy.

Rock-n-Romp is a family-friendly concert series that was started in the Washington, D.C. area, and has since spread to Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Memphis, and Philadelphia. Shows are held during the day in a relaxed, kid-safe environment, and while the volume is lower than at a typical concert, the music still ROCKS. You may hear a kiddie song every once in a while, but these shows are about the kind of music you listened to before you had kids. Kids enjoy watching the bands, dance, or just run around and hang out, and parents get the ever-so-rare opportunity to see a great live show and hang out with other like-minded parents.
There will be a Boston Rock-n-Romp at the Armory in Somerville on Sunday, February 28th, 1-3pm. Performing will be One Happy Island, along with music sets by DJ Michael Savant. Tickets are $12 in advance or $14 at the door. Ticket prices are for adults; kids are free. Adults must be in the company of a child to attend. You can buy tickets online here:

One of the many newsletters that I subscribe to is The Lefsetz Letter, which is written by a guy named Bob Lefsetz out in Los Angeles. Whenever he feels so moved, Bob sends out an e-mail about some aspect of the current state of the music industry to his many subscribers, most of whom seem to somehow be associated with the music industry.
Right after The Who's halftime show at last Sunday's Super Bowl 44, Bob sent out the following:
Lame. Killed classic rock overnight.
We need some younger acts with something to prove.
What kind of crazy fucked up world do we live in where the game is better than the music. And this game ain't that good.
Bring back Janet's tit. Or at least Kenny Chesney or Tim and Faith.
How about that onside kick! More excitement than the Who!
(Excuse typos. I'm on my CrackBerry!)
Ever since he sent this out, he has received 136 kbs. worth of response, with about half agreeing with him and half thinking he's just a grouchy old man. But he does make a few good points in another letter he sent out a couple of days later. He pointed out that if you watch the video, you can clearly see that parts of the show, most notably the scream that begins CSI:Miami every week, were pre-recorded. And he pointed out that Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey should not be calling themselves The Who anymore out of respect to John Entwhistle and Keith Moon.
My take on it is that it was a 12 minute show that was part of what has turned into more of a gross American spectacle and marketing tool than anything else. And I agree that whoever was responsible for mixing the sound from the stage to go over the air should be fired. It was a train wreck of a mix.
But I also think that it was two members of what many of us consider to be the first truly punk band in rock and roll doing their best given the situation. And I hope that the young people, the teenagers who were watching the game with their parents, the kids who will go on to form the bands that still really matter 40 years from now, will be inspired by Pete and Roger to pick up that guitar and play, just like yesterday. Just don't get fooled again by the major record labels.
To offer two perspectives on this, I have posted three links. The first is The Who's acoustic practice session in the stadium on Saturday, which is simply elegant and will bring a tear to your eye. There is no full video of the 12 minute show on YouTube, so the second two links are for part one and part two of their halftime show on Sunday night.

And the day after, Bloomberg.com reported that CBS Corp. said the Super Bowl was seen by an estimated 106.5 million people, becoming the most-watched program in U.S. television history. The broadcast of the New Orleans Saints’ 31-17 victory over the Indianapolis Colts surpassed the 1983 season finale of “M*A*S*H,” which was watched by 106 million viewers, New York- based CBS said in an e-mail, citing data from Nielsen Co.

"In Performance at the White House: A Celebration of Music From the Civil Rights Movement," is a special television broadcast that will air on most PBS stations nationwide tonight, Thursday, February 11th, beginning at 8pm. Performers include Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, John Mellencamp, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, Natalie Cole, John Legend, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Yolanda Adams, and the Howard University Choir. Also, three original members of the Freedom Singers, Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon, Rutha Harris, and Charles Neblett, have also reunited for the program. The concert was to have aired live, but was instead held a day early because another major snowstorm was about to hit the nation's capitol.
Joan Baez and Bob Dylan sang "When the Ship Comes In" from the album "The Times They Are a-Changing" at the original March on Washington in 1963, which included the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech. The program is hosted by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

MacLachlan will also headline the 2010 version. Other performers confirmed for this year include Mary J. Blige, Sheryl Crow, Colbie Caillat, Erykah Badu, Tegan and Sara, Emmylou Harris, Sara Bareilles, the Weepies, Miranda Lambert, Metric, Indigo Girls, Ke$ha, A Fine Frenzy, Ingrid Michaelson, Brandi Carlile, Chantal Kreviazuk, and Corinne Bailey Rae.

On August 1st, 1981 at 12:01am, MTV debuted a new concept in music: airing videos to go along with the songs. The first video to be aired was the super-appropriate "Video Killed The Radio Star" by The Buggles. At the moment of its launch, only a few thousand people on a single cable system in northern New Jersey could see it, although as the years went on, MTV became an important promotional tool for the recording industry. Nowadays, MTV has little to do with music, and as the network expanded, music videos were no longer the centerpiece of its programming. Conventional TV shows came to replace the VJ-guided music video programming. Today, MTV presents a wide variety of non-music related television shows aimed primarily at the 12 to 34 year old demographic. You can find a full account of MTV's 28 year history at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV
The first hour of MTV has moments where you can actually see a producer reaching down on camera to take out the VHS tape just played and put in the next one. Also, the ads and the hairstyles of the VJ's are a fascinating look into the beginning of the '80s, for better or worse.

In the late 1960s, John H. Garabedian was program director at the legendary WMEX in Boston, where he worked with legendary dee jay Arnie "Woo Woo" Ginsberg. Four years after MTV's 1981 debut, John and his aforementioned fellow WMEX alumnus Arnie Ginsburg started a Boston-area 24-hour music video station, WVJV-TV on broadcast channel 66 in Marlborough. Their station, known by its nickname, "V-66", mirrored MTV's early all-video format and lasted until 1986, when WVJV phased out videos and was sold to the Home Shopping Network. But during the approximately two years that V-66 was airing music videos, it aired many by Boston bands and musicians.
There will be a V-66 reunion show at The House of Blues on Lansdowne Street in Boston on Thursday, February 11th. Doors are at 7pm, and the show begins at 8pm. Tickets are $20 and $30, and it is an all ages show. Tickets may be purchased online at http://bit.ly/9pTk8G
Performing will be Rods and Cones, The Fools, O Positive, and other special guests. And western Mass. group School for the Dead, one of several pop groups on the Rub Wrongways label, will be performing a one-song set at the show. They will be playing the song "V-66," which they wrote about WVJV ca. 1985.

It's an awful thing to discover you've been robbed, especially when what was stolen are all the tools of your trade, rendering the way you make your living wiped out in one swift and shady action. This is just what happened to Jeff Potter, local musician. Jeff has made music his livelihood for many decades, being a multi-instrumentalist, but is known to many in the Pioneer Valley as the rockin' boogie-woogie piano player in Clean Living, a band that was immensely popular in the 1970's, and who recorded on the Vanguard record label.
Before coming to the valley, Jeff was a native of Connecticut, having gone to high school with another Connecticut boy, Al Anderson and was a member of Anderson's band, The Wildweeds, from 1970 to 1971, playing piano and harmonica. Since those times he has continued playing full-time professionally. After Clean Living disbanded in 1979, Jeff put together his own combo with a sub-set of Clean Living members, one of them being guitarist Rick King. He fronted The Contenders and then Jeff Potter and The Rhythm Agents, and has released four CDs of original material, and recorded on Nervous Records (UK), Raucous Records (UK) and El Toro Records (Spain). Currently Jeff performs solo and as a member of Albany’s Lustre Kings. They tour and often back up Wanda Jackson, a 2009 inductee to The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
With forty years under his belt, and playing an average of 15 dates a month, Jeff is not yet ready to retire, so he must retool, once again. Almost everything he uses to earn his living was stolen from his locked and garaged car on Monday, November 30th, 2009. He lost his piano, amps, speakers, PA etc. in the blink of an eye. It should be noted that although Jeff lives in the Ward Three neighborhood of Northampton, police do not believe the break-in was related to the series of arson fires that has plagued that area for the last several years.
A benefit concert has been planned to help Jeff recover costs of the robbery. It willl be at the Black Moon Music Lounge in Belchertown on Sunday, February 14th, 2– 8pm. A donation of $15 will be requested. The concert will feature a multi-performer show, with many local musicians pitching in, as well as from afar. The line-up will include The Spampinato Brothers, formerly of NRBQ, Girl Howdy, The Reprobates, Slippery Sneakers Zydeco, Mary Witt and the Propellers, and the Jeff Potter Trio, which will include Rick King on guitar, also a former Clean Living band mate, and Brian Rost on upright bass.

Last week's edition of the Weekly Band E-Mail had the story that the Malarians, a garage band that was hugely popular in western Mass. back in the 1980s, was getting together for one show at The Elevens in Northampton on Thursday, June 10th. Since then, Mal Thursday tells me that The Immolators, a new band out of Northampton, will be opening the show.
Mal also tells me that The Malarians will also be playing Boston that weekend in June along with Lyres. The show will most likely be at either The Middle East or The Cantab, both in Cambridge. More info to follow.

Even though WBCN in Boston signed off the air after more than 41 years as a rock station back on August 11th, the station has been split up into two stations and operating on HD radios in Boston, online, and on smart phones ever since. WBCN has been split into two stations in this digital age. The first, which celebrates the station's early days from when it first changed over to rock on March 15th, 1968 up to roughly 1980 when MTV came onto the scene, is called FreeFormBCN and is available over-the-air at 100.7FM HD-3. The modern day WBCN is available over-the-air at 98.5FM HD-2. Both stations may be listened to online at http://www.wbcn.com (FreeFormBCN is the box on the left; the modern-day WBCN is on the right).
Ever since the early days of WBCN turned into FreeFormBCN, it has been all computerized, spearheaded by Sam Kopper. About six people from the early days have set up a Facebook page for fans of the station's early days, which is at http://www.facebook.com/freeformbcn Sam is quick to point out that FreeFormBCN "is not a nostalgia trip, [but] a past, present, and future electric Rock-centric music, a free life outlook, and attitude." FFBCN is putting together music from the birth of rock and roll ca. 1955 to the new music of today to create a unique blend of music that is just not found on the radio any more.
Even though FFBCN has been computerized up untill now, Sam, Lisa Traxler, and Albert O (and anybody else who happens to be around) have tested live programming twice now for one hour at a time. The next one hour live test from the studio set up in Sam Kopper's home in Hingham will be this coming Friday, February 5th, at noon eastern time. These live program tests are announced on the Facebook page and the plan is to have live programming on a regular basis in about two months Once FFBCN goes live on a regular basis, it will be announced here in the Weekly Band E-Mail.

A new version of "We Are the World," which was originally recorded by 46 recording stars to bring aid to famine-stricken Africa back in 1985, was recorded the day after this year's Grammy(c) Awards ceremony on Monday, February 1st. This time, 100 extremely diverse recording artists gathered, once again under the direction of Quincy Jones, to re-record the song to raise money for the people of Haiti in the wake of the January 12th earthquake.
Artists participating in this new version included Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand, Gladys Knight, Dion, Carlos Santana, Justin Bieber, Zac Brown (who won he Best New Artist Grammy), Pink, Jeff Bridges, Vince Vaughan, Usher, T-Pain, Akon, Lil Wayne, Toni Braxton, Snoop Dogg, Josh Groban, Kanye West, will.i.am, (of the Black Eyed Peas), two Beach Boys (Brian Wilson and Al Jardine), three Jonas Brothers (Nick, Joe, and Kevin), and Wyclef Jean, former singer for The Fugees, whose Yele Foundation has been raising money for the relief effort ever since the quake hit. The song was originally written by Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson.
The plan is to debut the video during the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics, which will be televised on NBC on Friday, February 12th, and have it available for sale on ITunes, with proceeds going to the Haiti relief effort..
