"I Woke Up In The Afternoon..."

Destroy all monsters?  What about the zombie deejays?

Scroll down if you like vinyl.  There's a scan of the 7" vinyl of Bored by the Ann Arbor band Destroy All Monsters.  It's from 1978.  Niagara the lead singer and Ron Asheton wrote the song.  Stupendous lyric -- and Niagara's accent is pure Michigan.  Love that sound!  She also did the cover drawing.  The back cover sensibly provides some basic information about the band, and the single, and a cut-n-paste photo collage.

Thanks for listening!

I just remembered something -- The Jazz Butcher played the University of Windsor pub back in the 80s.  Windsor loved The Jazz Butcher; thanks to CJAM.  Does anybody remember him playing another show at Gina Lori Riley Dance Enterprises's studio on Pitt Street West?  Or am I making that one up?

The vinyl pictured below belongs to Pete.

Oh, and another thing... how about them Raincoats, eh?  I love The Raincoats!  They've got everything you want in a all-girl post-punk band: awkward rapping, high screeching, girl rhythms, and VIOLIN!  The Kitchen Tapes is very interesting.  I'm playing more next week.

(Although... strictly speaking, The Raincoats that play on The Kitchen Tapes were not exclusively female.  Only the first album is all-girl, I think.)
