Crazy Jack: Lost Photos

wormtown-punk — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 13:01:28 +0000

You may remember the story of Crazy Jack, Wormtowns’ answer to Iggy Pop. Back in the summer of 1978, he had the idea of releasing a 45, and needed some photos for the yet to be recorded disc.
So I took my old Kodak, bought some film and we traveled around the city stopping at Bancroft Tower and The Plaza on Grafton St. to see what we could come up with. Some of the pictures still exists, but recently I came upon the negatives and scanned the full set.

Although later released on the Wormtown 78 LP, “You Ain”t My Mama No More” should have been the 45.

Hot Rod Show, Part 2

wormtown-punk — Mon, 24 May 2010 13:20:04 +0000

They rocked well into the night over at The Diner on Saturday. Here are some videos to prove it. Warning: MuscleCah cannot be contained by a flip cam, and Jenny Creep just might be NSFW. And Angry Johnny, well, I don’t need to tell you how the Killbilles are. I’ll let Capt. PJ explain it.

and as always, MORE HERE!

Wormtown Weekend

wormtown-punk — Thu, 20 May 2010 16:40:05 +0000

Rev it up and go this week.
Saturday at Ralph’s it’s the Annual Hot Rod Show. Starts at 12 noon and runs all day and night. During the day it’s FREE and you’ll be able to view the rods and hear some live music outside while drinking ice cold Gansetts and eating those famous Burgers. At night the action moves upstairs with Angry Johnny and The Killbillies, Midnight Creeps, MuscleCah, Demons Alley, and Evil Streaks!!
And if that wasn’t enough, The Numbskulls are across town at The Hotel Vernon with their monthly “Big F’n Show 3″ series along with Something Wicked, Skull Hammer, Bottlefight and more! So, you’ll have to flip the old mental rock n roll coin yourself. It’s a tough call.

Buzzcocks Tonight!!!

wormtown-punk — Mon, 17 May 2010 14:30:04 +0000

I totally forgot about this. The Buzzcocks, punk rockers extraordinaire, are playing at The Paradise in Boston Tonight. I so wish I was going.
I’ve seen them a couple times, once for free at Clark University and they are always spot on with their fast sharp songs about love and life. One evening Pete Shelly spent the entire night at the studios of WICN for an interview during a solo tour years ago. I have that on tape somewhere. I always thought they were the punk equivalent of The Beatles, and paved the way for countless others who play pop/punk. If you can, GO!
