Nuggets 257 – Chug Chug 6

Nuggets 257 - chug chug 6 

I have been waiting for Surf City to play locally for several months. Last time I looked they were somewhere in Europe on tour. However, a message on Facebook from the band let me know that they were coming to town, and I headed down to the Lucha Lounge to see them. The Lucha is a great venue, it’s small and has atmosphere. Good sets from Lizard of Oz and Wilberforces then it was time for Surf City. They seemed a bit rusty but soon got going. A bit more shoegazey and motorik than their last record outing. The crowd kept surging forward, threatening to knock the mikes over, but always a hand appeared to steady the mike as the crowd eased back. Very jolly and I enjoyed the new material. The new album is out about now. See the mix for one track, and the widget below for another…

The Lucha Lounge features pictures of masked Mexican wrestlers. I’m not into wrestling but the pictures are intriguing. El Santo features in the picture above. There is a documentary about him below. It’s MC’ed by a tragically hip Jonathon Ross.

Nuggets 197 – morning (flight)

image

Flying used to be more fun. No worrying about whether your shampoo was in a 100 ml bottle and whether there was a pocket knife lost in the bottom of your bag and I am sure there was more room.

Anywayz, here is a morning mix for my travelling pleasure.

The Y Niwl are a fab surf guitar band from Wales, I have included live sessions from Laneways’ best, Yuck, Girls and Cult and some old blues and soul. 2 of the bluesy tracks are by Jamaican artists – Bread and the Mustangs.

Two covers, Emily Reo with a dreamy Neil Young cover, Damien Jurado & Richard Swift from their covers release Other People’s Songs Vol. 1 – with a Chubby Checker song.

First up Merlin Monroe with an excellent guitar piece – sex.
