Even with a super backlog of CDs & mp3 I’m taking you on a trip down memory lane in the form of Adam West. For those of you who think Adam West was the actor who played Batman in the 1960’s US Television show and have no access to Wikipedia here is the lowdown. Adam West was formed in the early 1990s, when vocalist Jake Starr decided to form a garage band with a 1960s Rock n' Roll sound. They released their first single, "I Get a Sensation", on Fandango Records in 1993. Their discography consists of 35 7-inch singles, one 10-inch EP, five full-length studio albums, three outtakes/B-sides albums, and 40 appearances on compilation albums. In 2008, Adam West released their final album ESP: Extra Sexual Perception, and played their farewell tour in Europe. They concluded an almost 17-year career at a sold-out show in their hometown of Washington, DC on November 8, 2008. I only managed to see the band twice. The 1st in 2005 at Debaser and the final time a year later on 31st October at Club Sheriff, both in Stockholm, Sweden. Enjoy.

On this week’s show The Squirrel and I travelled up to The Jazz Café to see Progressive, Psychedelic Rockers Motorpsycho who hail from Trodheim, Norway. One of us came away happy, the other not so. This would have been the third time I’ve seen them in three different settings, the first was at the Borderline with the second at the Garage where the band played the whole of their “Death Defying Unicorn” album. This time around it was over two hours of career spanning Progtastic fan and band favourite songs. Enjoy.

This week’s live show was almost a studio affair no small part to my shoulder still giving me gyp. I just didn’t feel up to venturing out. Fortunately industrial strength painkillers and Jamesons dulled the pain. So off I rode up to Hoxton to see Outlaw Country Rocker Bob Wayne at The Bar & Grill, Hoxton Square, who was over here promoting his current album “Back To The Camper”. This was my first time seeing this style of music and even with a dodgy shoulder I enjoyed every cotton picking moment.

On this week’s show I get around to playing a whole bunch of tunes that should’ve been on Episode 376 namely, a brand new track from Mother’s Children’s “Lemon” album, ditto The Peckham Cowboys, The Cry and Wonk Unit, but before all that it’s The Wildhearts that start this week’s show off. Up next it is The Germans who featured Pete Coyne, Kris Dollimore, Mark Wrangham and Rat Scabies. This week’s “Missing In Action” is Free Fall who are swiftly followed by a brand spanking new track from The Curse whose second album should be out anytime now….Looking forward to that! Still in Sweden it’s a MegaRock Demo from the Backyard Babies as it has been announced that the foursome are regrouping this Summer to make new music. The last of this week’s studio tracks comes courtesy of Cats In Boots who were a late 80’s band that at the time passed me by unnoticed. Live it is Beastmilk and Doomriders recorded at the Camden Underworld rounding things off this week.

Welcome to Episode 376 of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show and for the first since 1879 I bring you an all studio episode. What a better way than starting proceedings off with some Motörhead. Which is swiftly followed by Mary’s Kids with their contribution to the AM Records split 7” with T-55. We stay in Scandinavia for a while with a track off the new Chuck Norris Experiment CD and rejoice in the news that the band will be playing over in here in the UK come June. Marvel’s latest and greatest album “Hadal Zone Express” has been a firm favourite of mine since it landed on my virtual doormat. The track I play sounds like Ian Gillan popped in for a sing-a-long. Imperial State Electric recently released a new 4 track ep. Obviously I play something off it but am I pleased with it? H.E.A.T. have a track aired from their “Tearing Down The Walls” album. My fantasy Girlfriend Karla Force’s band Crucified Barbara have just released a track from their forthcoming album which obviously I play with. The last of the Scandinavian segmentation come courtesy of The Electric Boys with a track from “Starlight United. We now move over to LA for some Smash Fashion who feature an ex members of The Quireboy, Smack and Rock City Angels. After that we travel Downunder for a track off the debut Black Heart Breakers album. In a shock move I play some Magnum as I was lead to believe one track off their new album sounded like The Wildhearts. Find out if it was a dirty trick. Up next from Kent its Whispering Shadows with a song from their/his Russian released “Compendium Of Sorrow” album. The next section is all about Pledge with tracks from Stiff Little Fingers, The DeRellas, Bernie Tormé and CJ Wildheart. The show is played out with some Wilko Johnson and Roger Daltrey as we all keep our fingers crossed that Wilko’s recent operation is a success.

Welcome to “Two Sides Of The Same Town”. On this Episode I go to two gigs on the same day that were 15 miles apart. The bands in question are The Drej, that feature one of my top three all time favourite drummers, who were playing The Garage in Highbury & Islington and Borracho, who feature a couple of ex-Adam West members who I last saw in Stockholm, Halloween 2006, who were at The Iron Horse in Sidcup. Both bands play a compatible style of music and in an ideal World they would’ve been on the same bill. So if you are into Black Sabbath, The Damned, Soundgarden, Faith No More, Hendrix, Kiss, Melvins, Kyuss, Pink Floyd and Clutch I recommended that after sitting back with this show turned to eleven you purchase The Drej’s debut album and Borracho’s first two. Twenty quid well spent .
