Primitive_Love (listen/download)

Today at 6pm (eastern) on WFMU's Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban, DJ Andrew Sandoval presents an all new edition of come to the sunshine.

It features 45's played from vinyl by: Bob Morrison; Mike Rabin & The Demons; The Leaves Of Grass; Tony Rivers and the Castaways; Barry Mann; The Majority; Don Lee Wilson; The Renaissance; Rick Nelson; The Tony Jackson Group; The New Wing Featuring DAVY PETERS & Music by The Sons Of Adam; The Loose Ends; Love Society; One; The Lime; Tom Northcott; Lords Of London; Chris McClure; San Francisco Earthquake; The Collection.

In part two, an artist spotlight on Anthony & The Imperials, shedding light on their post-1966 recordings (when they dropped the "Little" from their moniker and explored straight-up soft pop and even baroque sounds, ala the Left Banke with producer Teddy Randazzo). A fascinating glimpse at yet another 1950's artist making contemporary '60s music.

Wednesday at 8 - Andy Rasmussen & San Diego Girls on Crayons to Perfume!

The Groves family, and Andy Rasmussen (in the plaid shirt) with GME/Musette Records - their family legacy.
Today on Crayons to Perfume! my special guest will be San Diego musician, music historian and record collector. Andy and I met in the early 90's, back when we published fanzines. Andy was one of the founding members of the legendary surf & instro combo the Bomboras, along with San Diego psych outfit the Loons. We finally met when the Loons played at Fuzz Fest in Atlanta, and now we are living in the same city! Andy was also in the latin influenced Americana Sleepwalkers and now has Action Andy & The Hi Tones and his own Relampa-go go Records label. A few months ago Andy surprised me by asking if I knew any of the San Diego girls. GIRL "s". There was more than one? Actually I didn't really know of any, to me they had just been Southern California girls - and so it was agreed that Andy should join me on Crayons to Perfume! to spin a few of his San Diego girls, some of which will be on his forthcoming compilation album 'Look Out!' - the history of San Diego Rock'n'Roll. Many of the girls today come from National City - a suburb of San Diego, and it's closely neighboring Imperial Beach, both booming in the mid-60's. The best known group within the city was probably The Accents, featuring singer Sandi Rouse from Mount Helix High School in the suburb of La Mesa. They released a handful of records Here's one of their slower numbers from 1964.



Also featured today is singer Jamie Horton who had a varied career, starting as a child singer in the 50's releasing records under her real name Gayla Peevey, in Oklahoma. Gayla eventually attended San Diego State University where she changed her stage name to Jamie Horton and released a few more records before getting married and starting her own advertising company.

We'll also hear Angie Kay with her group the Keys who released two singles for San Diego's Globe label in 1962, both with a teen girl group sound.

Tune in Wednesday at 8, right HERE! for San Diego Girls!

Whig Out! Sunday at 8 pm

On Target with the Whig Out! Sunday at 8pm

Your triple threat Sundays start with DJ Roulette - a revolving door of dj's playing host with the most - the most rock'n'soul! In the evenings you can end your week with The Real Nitty Gritty and then the Whig Out! Sunday at 8pm take a bit outta the Whig Out! Richard and Glynis are right on target with the rawest and raunchiest garage sounds that abound, like the Alarm Clocks. Now, the Alarm Clocks go by the old addage, if the clock ain't broke, don't fix it. They sound pretty much today like they did back in their day - 1965 when 3 high school kids in Parma, Ohio scraped together enough dough to head into the studio to record their 1st 45. Trouble is, they only had one song to record! Putting their heads and three chords together, they came up with the snotty teen punk ode "Yeah" - filled with the crashy clash of poorly recorded drums, and a time straining tempo - almost two and a half minutes of hormonal hollering. Fast forward your clock 40 years - when fellow Ohio-ite and record collecting nut Tom Fallon puts the Alarm Clocks back together to record 'The Time Has Come' - the Alarm Clocks first offical full album which sounds pretty much exactly like the group did in 1966 - check out the track Ramona that Richard has in store for you, she just may be the girl that 'Yeah!' was written about! Now check out this great article on San Diego's own Id a bunch of geeky 13 year old barefoot beach bums who got their start (and finish) yowling at their local teen clubs.

Crayons To Perfume! 7pm

The girls are at Ichiban every Wednesday at 7pm for Crayons to Perfume! and this week, host djgirlgroupgirl brings you some of her newest finds and favorites and plus you can win a copy of the new girl group compilation album HONEYBEAT! so tune in, and join in the conversation to win at WFMU.org on the Rock'n'Soul Ichiban stream - just look for the link for playlist and comments...and get ready to answer the skill testing question!!

Honeybeat features the eldest of the Franklin girls - Erma, and I don't Want No Mama's Boy - recorded during Erma's short sojourn at Epic Records, a stand out song for Erma, who for the most part liked to stick to fairly straight ahead material which was highly gospel influenced although she did have her contemporary favorites like Jackie Verdelle, Gladys Knight and Dionne Warwick - who all dabbled in adult contemporary soul. Heartbroken after finding out that her earliest musical experiences with Motown ended with her being no more than a demo singer, Erma learned to live in two worlds. Her father insisted she get a college education which she did, and had something to fall back on. Her degree came in handy after leaving the Lloyd Price Orchestra (where she sang after her contract with Epic ended) and then again when Shout records owner Bert Berns died suddenly, in the midst of her top 10 R&B hit with "Take Another Piece of My Heart". Never one to quit, Erma continued her day job and moonlighted at her fourth label, Brunswick while releasing "Her Name Is Erma" - one of my favorite albums of the 60's.

Today you'll hear Erma, and plenty of girls and girl groups from around the world, all from the 60's. 7pm Eastern, 4 Pacific WFMU.org Rock'n'Soul Ichiban!

Billy Miller Forever Memorial Celebration

Saturday April 29 at the Music Hall of Williamsburg is a night you do not want to miss.

Billy Miller was a true rock'n'roll guru. Already a feverish record collector and zine writer he founded with his soul-mate Miriam Linna, Kicks magazine in the late 1970s. From there he formed the legendary groups The Zantees and The A-Bones. And if that wasn't enough for a rock'n'souler, he and Miriam opened up Norton Records, with the release of Hasil Adkins' "Out To Hunch" in 1986. He lived and breathed "fandom."

Friends and fans pay tribute to the man who paved the way...

Join in this Saturday in a shivaree for the ages! 

Featuring Lenny Kaye, Reigning Sound, Peter Zaremba, Roy Loney, Andy Shernoff, Mick Collins and so many more! 

All proceeds from this show go to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation and The Ponderosa Stomp Foundation

Buy your tickets here!

Jean Thomas - Singer, Songwriter, Session girl Extraordinaire!

Jean Thomas unwittingly became one of the most heard voices in the early 60's girl group era - her sweet sounds with the teen style voice are those you often hear as the back up shooby doo wahs on so many girl group records, but Jean sang back ups for the guys too! Jean started as a solo artist, but soon came to the attention of Bob Crewe, who was putting together the Rag Dolls - his girl group answer to the 4 Seasons. Jean's high range and sweet sounds filled the bill for a falsetto lead, and she became the voice of the Rag Dolls, the Cheese Cakes, the Surfer Girls and so many more. She's also the voice behind Neil Diamond's earlier hits, the Beach Nuts and really too many more to count. You can read a lot more about Jean here! and also here and tune in to Crayons to Perfume! this evening at 7pm to hear Jean's voice.
