In the early Seventies my brief flirtation with Welsh rock bands seems to have extended to a third, Budgie. (more…)
Here’s a band I once loved that I had completely forgotten about, though I still have this album in my vinyl collection.
RIP Julz Sale, the singer in proto-feminist post-punk band Delta 5 – a vital part of the soundtrack of my youth.
The first gig I ever saw was by a Welsh rock group called Man, in May 1974.
I’ve never really bought into the idea of the “guilty pleasure” so I feel no shame about liking and posting this song.
OK, this song is awful. But it’s a bit of pop history because even though it wasn’t Lou Reed’s first recording it was the catalyst for the creation of The Velvet Underground.
I’m not sure The Runaways were ever really a punk group, but they made their mark at the right time to be part of our world and they were punky enough to play CBGBs alongside Blondie and Television and The Ramones.
