Favoriting Hard Stuff with Frank in Queens: Playlist from December 26, 2023 Favoriting

Frank In Queens's avatar View Frank In Queens's profile Favoriting

The sound of the 60s becoming the 70s...and beyond! Late-era garage and early hard rock, with a pinch of more "modern" sounds thrown in for flavor. Fuzz, frets, riffage, and wattage. Let your hair down on WFMU's Rock And Soul Radio and get a taste of the "Hard Stuff".

Tonight we pay tribute to the recently departed drummer of The Deviants and Pink Fairies, Russell Hunter. Check out this nice write-up on Russell from John Cherry on his Bournemouth Beat Boom blog, originally posted circa 2020 but amended last week when Russell passed away on the 19th.

Yeah! Prompted me to revisit the 1987 album "Kill 'Em & Eat 'Em". Suffers a bit from 80s production, but otherwise pretty damn good. Spun the live version just because it rocks harder, even though the sound quality is less than optimal.

Not coincidentally, Deviants/Pink Fairies/Hawkwind were all "hairy" bands that were accepted by the punks. Johnny Rotten himself talks about his love of Hawkwind, and there's a great passage in Mick Farren's first book about checking out the early punk shows and some good natured ribbing by Mr Rotten as well.
