I was meant to post this at the same time as Nikki Sudden's Lost in A Sea of Scarves, another request for someone, but never got round to it what with all the Christmas bollocks, time etc. Now this post has a different significance. On 30th December 2009 Roland S Howard passed away after battling liver cancer. Roland’s musicianship is all over this album; hypnotic kraut rock basslines and a scratchy swamp guitar sound. This album is greater than the sum of it’s parts, and boy did it have some parts to it. Jeremy Gluck, former singer for the surftastic garage punkers The Barracudas gathered together not only Roland S Howard but Nikki Sudden, Epic Soundtracks and Jeffery Lee Pierce to record this master piece of stripped back swamp blues and lo-fi post-punk laced with a hint of 60’s pop. It is both beautiful and brutal, stark and colourful in equal measures. A must have! Get it Here! My respect and sympathy goes out to Roland’s family and friends.

Vietnam opened:
Tracks 1-13:
Danny Hole -- drums
track 14: with Vietnam
This was recorded two days before his death, and was the third of the five concerts he gave in NYC on this tour. This was the only one where you actually had to pay.
I ran into Nikki coming out of the bathroom before the show. He said hello and started telling me about how excited he was to have seen the New York Dolls. Then in mid sentence his eyelids fluttered and he fell asleep.
Sound is quite good on this, but there is background chatter from the young hipsters who are standing at the bar.
Of the five shows I saw that tour, this one was my favorite. Just Nikki blasting it out with his electric guitar and Danny Hole providing the beat.
Cheers good people, nekro, The Gunslingers post will be happening, no problem Private somewhere, err, sorry JSG, it can be removed if you'd rather. Cheers Kostas, International Noise Conspiracy, top fuckin' band, must move them up the pile of things to post in 2010, not before The Gunslingers though. Always a pleasure 4 Dogs Records. No and Yes cat-north of watford junction, a copy of that Nikki Sudden show would be great. Happy New Year one and all.
Here's the Nikki sudden NYC 2006 show in flac files all zipped up and ready to go, any problems let me know and i'll try again.

Cheers cat, one small problem though, can't download it, keeps saying "the file you are trying to access is temprarily unavailable" been the same for last couple of hours.
Thanks for sharing I Knew Buffalo Bill. I remember how excited I was when I purchased it o so many years ago, and I am very happy you are giving people a chance to listen to this recording.
Had the same excitment myself planczoo, and still love listening to it. Disregard last comment cat, the downloads come through load'n'clear, thanx, a special show that one.

HEY NUZZ,

This should be the 16 wheels track, please let me know if it isn't. I haven't posted files in awhile and hope I did it correctly!
hey nuzz, could you do me a great favor and put up Nikki's version of Gallery wharf (or is it called ragged school?)
NONE of the record shops in SoCal seem to be carrying the texas/dead men cd.
as it turns out Rowland was on both of those albums!
hey planckzoo,

i got the track now, bought it from amazon.
Rowland s. Howard was the best...you know, the sounds, the riffs, the fucking riffs overdose....
