SHOTGUN IS A BLAST

 
The official release of Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas seventies rock band, Shotgun titled Dallasian Rock, has finally seen the light of day thanks to Houston based ShroomAngel Records, who has taken forgotten Texas music, remastered it, and now released for a new generation of music fans.
Owner Rich Patz has once again recovered disregarded tapes from one of Dallas' favorite 70's local rock band and released their 11 track studio recordings on his label that is slowly getting recognition from old and new fans alike. Patz, a diligent music aficionado, is on a mission to sniff out lost recordings and re-release them with an improved sound and impressive packaging. Formatted on digital CD, you can also find a limited pressing on virgin vinyl, for that special hare-core collector who appreciates the deep, pure sound you can only get from a vinyl LP.
The group Shotgun consisted of Guy Houston on drums, Hugh Coleman on bass, John Michael Soria lead guitar, Russ Skarsten on keys and Billy Metcalf lead vocals. Formed on New Years Eve 1973, the band had a three year run playing around the DFW area until their last performance that ironically fell on New Years Day 1977 at the Electric Ballroom in Dallas, Texas. But in the spring of 1976, they recorded their first 11 track studio recording at Harvest Studios in Dallas with a debut title that would be called Dallasian Rock. As we know now, that album never made it to press and has been in the can, as they say, for the last 37 years.
The cd kicks off with a favorite track by guitarist John Michael, "Rock Star Queen" that features John Nitzinger on rhythm guitar. A strong number with classic guitar riffs, high melody lyrics and a steady groove. I wonder who that song was written about? Throughout the cd the feel is unshakable on tracks like "Seems Like You Would Understand" and "Play The Game" that shows off the harmonic vocals of Billy Metcalf. Consistent and groovin, Shotgun had a unique sound, a blend all their own. Track five off the CD, "Last Nite" takes a change of pace, slowing down the tempo but keeping the truthfulness and direct style Shotgun was known for.
One of my favorite tunes on the CD is "Mercy" that has classic 70s charm through and through. Nice changes with a dynamic distinction with flawless guitar riffs. The seventh track, "Feelin Good" is a slower pace number, kind of a stop and go song that finishes strong and by far the best lead guitar on the initial recording. The theme throughout the Shotgun release is pure love, love making or the thought of finding love. Seventies style lyrics all the way!
Track eight off the CD, "Straight Out" is a slow grind with what sounds like improvisation vocals by Billy Metcalf. "Keep A Steady High" is another number that shows off the talents from the entire band, especially on the keyboards. A fun diddy of a song, short and sweet. The title track, "Dallasian Rock" rounds out the CD with a tribute to the Dallas rock scene. A traditional Texas rock song that highlights the guitar work of John Michael Soria.
The final studio recorded track on the CD is "Leavin' On A Train." This song is deep, with tasty slide guitar work and a smooth bass line that captures the essence of the whole Dallasian Rock recording. But it doesn't end there. Because of the space allowed on the LP, the CD has bonus tracks, live recordings like "Silver Bullet" and "I Know What Your Sayin'" that were captured live at The Zoo KZEW FM sometime around 1976. It also includes rare demos and alternative versions.
Truly a great piece of Dallas Rock n' Roll, the Shotgun release whether on CD or LP is a must have.

The long anticipated HEYOKA retrospective is almost here!!

 

Just a month to go until we can finally get our mitts on the long awaited Heyoka retrospective from ShroomAngel Records.

Click on the pic above to see it full size.

Back in the early seventies, a band was formed in San Antonio, Tx. that has since gone down in history as perhaps the greatest unsigned band to ever come from the State of Texas.

Years of endless gigging, recording sessions, and ultimately ending after inner conflicts, changing musical landscapes and personal tragedies, Heyoka's music has remained lost to the ravages of time and has gained mythical status amongst the faithful and the serious collectors.

Now, after more than 30 years since their original studio recordings, ShroomAngel Productions in partnership with Heyoka, have finally delivered the most eagerly anticipated CD in Texas music history!

The original studio recordings taken from the master tapes and digitally remastered for superior audio fidelity and NEVER AVAILABLE BEFORE!

Stunning.

They had it all - musicianship (band featured two guitars, singer/flautist, bass, keyboards and drums)with chops, panache and great tone, superb compositions, multiple rhythmic changes and complex chord progressions, and above all they had tremendous SPIRIT.

The music is very moving, and pays homage to the plight of Native Americans and sheds light on the many injustices done to them and to the common everyday person.

A political, spiritual, deeply humanitarian work, this CD represents so many emotions, so much hard work and hopes and dreams, now finally soon to be available on CD.

The first 200 LP's include a download card.

The albums are individually numbered, on colored vinyl, and include a 12 x 24 poster.

Only 500 made.

Out now.

The CD is a 6 panel digipak.

Due mid-October.

POOKIESNACKENBURGER In... HELL BENT (1985) Now reloaded!

POOKIESNACKENBURGER In... HELL BENT (1985) Channel 4 TV UK



Just found an old episode of a 1980's UK comedy music show called "POOKIESNACKENBURGER" on Youtube.
The episode in question is from 1985 and is called "HELL BENT".
It concerns itself with a spoof "Black Metal" band called IRON LUNG who are recording their latest album in a haunted abbey which has been converted into a recording studio, whilst the band try to raise Satan to do their bidding.
The songs are quite amusing, although overall the show isn't quite as funny as i'd remembered.
Far better than "Bad News" though!
I did enjoy the "Wicker Man" styled pub scene.
The show only ran for one series, with each episode spoofing a different genre of music.
Pookiesnackenburger were a real band who had initially formed as a busking ensemble.
Some of their members were later behind the "Stomp" musical/dance extravaganza.

Complete credit and major thanks to tim50stroud1 who ripped & uploaded this video, had his account @ youtube hacked, and then took the time to upload it all over again. Leave the man some positive comments for all his work.

U.S. METAL ALBUMS Part 2 (1983 & 1984)

Howdy folks, sorry it has taken me so long to get around to updating this page.
Sometimes life just insists on getting in the way of the things you intend to do despite your best intentions.
Hope tonight's bumper selection of old US Heavy Metal albums will go some way towards making up for my lengthy lay off here.
We have some truly obscure stuff in tonight's selection, but hidden amongst these there are musicians who went on to make a mark in other outfits, such as a Pre-VINNIE VINCENT INVASION & SLAUGHTER Mark Slaughter fronting X-CURSION, SERPENT'S KNIGHT featuring a young Warrel Dane Pre-SANCTUARY & NEVERMORE, and before he was in CJSS and CHASTAIN, little David T Chastain was guitarist extraordinaire with SPIKE.
We also have ex-VIRGIN STEELE guitarist JACK STARR with his first solo album, "Out Of The Darkness", which features the cream of the early '80's New York Metal scene backing him with the late great RHETT FORRESTER of RIOT singing on all tracks, and former STEELER frontman Ron Keel with the debut album from his eponymously named band, KEEL.
Add to that little lot some great obcurios from the likes of RAT ATTACK, CRYSYS, PROPHECY, VICTIM, RISING POWER, MAX LYNX, TAIST OF IRON, DESIRE, LADY KILLER, WYZARD and PANDEMONIUM and i think you'll find much to enjoy amongst tonight's selection.
Get stuck in!

Let me know what you think of this little lot and i'll try to be a little more regular with the posts here in the future.
However, i guarantee nothing.
I'm sorry to have to report some sad news now, as we lost two more great musicians this past month.
Phil Kennemore of YESTERDAY & TODAY/Y & T sadly lost his battle with cancer a few weeks ago, and last week we also lost Henrik Ostergaard of DIRTY LOOKS to causes unknown at this time.
Raise a glass to them for the good times.
Rest In Peace.

RONNIE JAMES DIO : R.I.P.

From Blabbermouth:

Wendy Dio, wife/manager of legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio (DIO, HEAVEN & HELL, BLACK SABBATH, RAINBOW), has released the following statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET:

"Today my heart is broken, Ronnie passed away at 7:45 a.m. [on Sunday] 16th May. Many, many friends and family were able to say their private goodbyes before he peacefully passed away.

"Ronnie knew how much he was loved by all.

"We so appreciate the love and support that you have all given us.

"Please give us a few days of privacy to deal with this terrible loss.

"Please know he loved you all and his music will live on forever."

It was only a month ago that Dio, 67, spoke about his battle with cancer with the Artisan News Service on the "black carpet" of the Revolver Golden Gods Awards, which took place on April 8 at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles. When asked about how he had been feeling since he was diagnosed with the disease late last year, Dio said, "Well, I feel good and bad at times. It's a long process. Chemotherapy is a... I never realized what a difficult thing it was to go through. It's a real cumulative effect — the more you have, the more it piles up on top and it takes longer and longer to get over it. I find it very difficult to eat. I don't like to eat anyway, so I guess that's OK. But I know I have to. But this makes it very, very hard. But if you're determined to beat it, then you have to go with what you believe is going to beat it for you, and in this case it's that. I go to a great hospital in Houston called M.D. Anderson, which I think is the best hospital in the world, I have the best doctor in the world, Dr. Ajani, who I really trust and I really believe in, so I think I've done all the right things. It makes me feel positive about my life and positive that there is a lot more of it to live."

Earlier this month, HEAVEN & HELL canceled its summer tour plans in Europe due to Dio's treatment for stomach cancer. The band said in a statement that Dio wasn't "well enough to tour this summer. We hope that everyone understands and want to thank fans and industry colleagues for their continuing support at this time."

Ronnie James Dio had performed with ELF, RAINBOW, BLACK SABBATH, and his own band DIO. Other musical projects included the collective fundraiser "Hear 'n Aid". He is widely hailed as one of the most powerful singers in heavy metal, renowned for his consistently powerful voice and for popularizing the "devil's horns" hand gesture in metal culture. He was most recently involved with HEAVEN & HELL, a project which also included former BLACK SABBATH bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Vinny Appice. Their first and only studio album, "The Devil You Know", was released on April 28, 2009.

R.I.P. Ronnie & thank you.

U.S. METAL ALBUMS Part 1 (1976-1983)

Howdy folks.
Yup, i'm back again, scarcely a month after the last post at Still Alive & Well with another thrilling selection from Rawk's very own back-in-time basement treasure trove.
Not too many big names amongst tonight's selection, although those of you of a certain age and the connisseurs amongst you will surely recognize monickers like SORCERY (yes, the same band who released "Sinister Soldiers"), FULL MOON, MESSENDGER, HYKSOS and CULPRIT.
Sprinkle in the likes of BAD AXE, BEOWULF, (NOT the Suicidal Tendencies related act), FORTNOX, JOE STEP, BLACK DIAMOND and AMERICADE and what you have here is a pretty good cross section of what was happening in U.S. Metal between the years of 1976 and 1983.
Hope you find something that'll make your (May) day.
Please feel free to use the comments section to share your thoughts, rememberances, ire and love, and to heap lavish praise upon me too of course.
As per usual, all rars come packed with cover art and info txt files.

US METAL EP's, MINI LPs & DEMOS Pt 2 (1983-1984)

Here we are again, back with part 2 of my themed post on US Metal EP's, Mini LP's & Demos. This time we concentrate on the years 1983 & 1984, classic years for collectors of obscure American steel. Lots of small independent labels springing up, local distros and a groundswell of grassroots underground bands for the fans to get excited about. Most of the material this time is pretty damned obscure, and for the most part has never been reissued. The better known bands are VIXEN, who featured a young Marty Friedman pre-MEGADETH, RICHIE RANNO, formerly guitarist with STARZ & HELLCATS and OBSESSION who had several releases and a strong cult following for their PRIEST styled Metal. The other bands are pretty much unknown to all but the hardest of the hardcore collectors. This shit was hard to find then, never mind now.
Dig in and give your ears a treat, you just might find yourselves some new favourites.

U.S. METAL EP's, MINI LPs & DEMOS Pt 1 (1980-1983)

First post for a while over here, sorry for the delay, hope this little lot will make up for it.
This is Part One of a large post which covers US Metal EP's, demos and Mini Lp's.
For a little background, SNOW featured Carlos Cavazo pre-QUIET RIOT, ALIEN featured the late Frank Starr pre-FOUR HORSEMEN, and XCURSION was the first band of Mark Slaughter before his stints in VINNIE VINCENT INVASION and SLAUGHTER. Oh, and MOTLEY CRUE's Nikki Sixx was involved behind the scenes with LEATHER ANGEL, helping with their song arrangements and even their logo.
Tonight's instalment covers the years 1980 - 1983, there are some well known names contained herein, and some more obscure acts too. All are well worth investigating.

SCANDO/EURO LPs Pt3 (1985-00)

Hey, hey.
We're back again with the final (for now), part of our long running Scandinavian/European Metal LP's/Mini Lp's series, with an even split this time between the European and the Scandinavian.
From the frozen North, we're proud to present GLORY BELLS, the awesome MANINNYA BLADE and modern masters GRAND MAGUS. From Italy, we bring you ASTAROTH, and hailing from Germany, RAILWAY and ZAR, here enlivened by the presence of ex-LUCIFER's FRIEND/URIAH HEEP vocalist John Lawton.
A nice variety of styles on offer here, spanning the years 1985 to 2000, hopefully you'll find something to make your day.
As always, no password required for the files, full artwork included. Enjoy.

KISS Tribute Albums Part Two

Another post, and yet more great music at Still Alive & Well. All is right with the world.
This time out we're proud to bring you a stack of tribute albums dedicated to hailing the self-styled "Hottest Band In The World", KISS.
If you go waaay back in the archives, you'll find the first part of this mega post, this is part 2, and there will be a part 3 to appear here some time in the future. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, tonight we bring you 5 distinctly different albums, one full of US bands, one from Japan, and a trio of compilations from three different online KISS sites, Kiss Army On Line, Kiss Army Sweden and the Kiss Detention Hall. Some of the versions are pretty true to the originals in sound and spirit, others rearrange the songs to the point where you'll find it hard to recognize them. Some favour the classics, some more obscure hard core fan favourites. All are well worth hearing.
So dig in Kiss army foot soldiers, and enjoy this selection.
It's Kissin' time!

There's another from one of my personal favourites, AXE WITCH as well as a trio of lesser known bands, GOTHAM CITY, PROUD and SYRON VANES, all of whom are more than worthy of your attention, and are entirely appropriate to stand shoulder to shoulder here beside their better known Metal brethern.

SCANDO/EURO LPs Pt1 (1981-83)

Hi again, and a Happy New Year to you all.
This time around we'll be delving into the past to dredge up a whole bunch of under appreciated and seldom seen European and Scandinavian albums and Mini LPs, from back in the days when the Cold War was in full swing and unemployment was at it's highest.
The more things change the more they stay the same eh?
The beautiful girl in the Swedish bikini is gratuitous yes, but it does serve notice that the majority of tonight's featured bands came from that very country, with French, Finnish and Danish acts making up the remainder.
So, in the yellow & blue corner, from Sweden, we have GLORY BELLS BAND, AXE WITCH, GOTHAM CITY and BURN. From France, SHAKIN' STREET. From Denmark, ANGER. And from Finland, RIFF RAFF. All of these records were released between 1981 and 1983, a fertile period for Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, i think you'll find plenty to enjoy amongst tonight's selection.
Dig in folks!

SCANDO & EURO STEEL : Vol 4 - 84 - 86

Hello again, hope you all managed to squeeze as much fun as possible out of your Christmases, and now that the big day is over i suspect you'll be looking for something to chase away the winter blues. Well folks, i'm glad to oblige with seven shiny black circles of Swedish steel from days of yore, and one from Finland too!
This time around, we span the years 1984 - 1986 to conclude our collection of Scandinavian and European 7"s, EPs and demos.
Tonight's "big" names are OZ, AXEWITCH and HEAVY LOAD, but make sure you take the time to get acquainted with MANINNYA BLADE, WARNING, HELS, MANIAC, FAITH and GOTHAM CITY too, just because you may be unfamiliar with them is no reason not to take the opportunity to check them all out.
I tell you this, i'm prepared to bet that you'll be glad you did!
Although this is the end of this particular musical excursion for the moment, fear not, because next time out we'll be delving into more vintage European and Scandinavian Heavy Metal, but we'll be focusing on the full length albums and Mini LPs from that scene.
Lots of awesome material up my sleeve for that, so stay tuned to STILL ALIVE & WELL for your vintage rawk needs.
Have a great New Year people and i hope to see you back here in 2009 for more of the same.

Howdy folks, yep, it's that time again!
For your aural delectation and titillation this evening, we are proud to present part 3 of our ongoing Scandinavian/European Metal collection.
Here are some great 45s, Demos and EPs from Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Holland and Italy all released between the years of 1983 and 1984.
The "name" bands this time would be SYRON VANES, PAUL CHAIN and WITCHCROSS, but don't make the mistake of just going for what you know. Dig in and get yourself acquainted with the more obscure items too, have a taste of HIROSHIMA, a sampling of SWORD, a snifter of STITCH, a tot of HAMMERHEAD, a measure of LEZLIE PAICE, a plate full of RENEGADE, or snack on Airborne. I'm sure you'll find them all nice'n'tasty. Filling too.
To The Devil To Pay, thanks very much for your offer to u/l the Winterhawk albums, that'd make my week mate! If you could just put the links in the comments section here, i'll get them that way. And thanks again, it's really appreciated!

Here we go again boys & girls, more Metallic treasures plucked from the depths of obscurity to shine like diamonds in the bright light of a new day. Or something like that.
Eight more Scandinavian or European Heavy Metal 45's, EP's or demos released between the years of 1982 and 1983.
Again, as in the first part of the post, most of tonight's selection comes from Sweden, with a nice one from The Netherlands to represent the rest of Europe. If you've heard of any of these bands it'll likely be HEAVY LOAD or AXE WITCH, both of whom are awesome, but take the time please to get acquainted with the likes of GOTHAM CITY, GRAVE et al too, you'll be glad you did! Enjoy!!
Apart from you, "Bounded By Metal", you can go fuck yourself, you link thieving piece of shit.
