Friday T&A on S&A: Inactive imagination

Screw these Feeder guys. First off, their name too close to legendary punk band the Feederz. Remember the album Ever Feel Like Killing Your Boss? It was black with sandpaper glued to the outside cover so it would deface any other albums you put it next to. OK, strike one, your band name is too close to another infamous band. Strike two, you choose to make an album cover with a picture that is already a direct copy of another album cover. The cover of Feeder’s album Renegades is Basilio SIlva photo that was obviously copied from the Dwarves. The Feeders made a video with a topless girl in a ski mask. As much as I can appreciate a topless girl (spring break!) I’m predisposed to hate this. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.

Former Breeder sings about skateboards

Kelley Deal from The Breeders and Kristian Svitak sing a jingle for Landshark wheels. There was a cool band in Illinois circa 82-83 called the Breeders. They had (among other things) some really good songs like Zen Punk and Uncool Slamming. You can download mp3’s of their 7″ with the band’s blessing from this article on Maximum Rock and Roll.

Skate Rock and Tim Brauch Movie

Ray Stevens II of The Faction, Los Olvidados, Drunk Injuns, Odd Man Out, and Clay Wheels fame has a new band called RS2 SOLID SOUND. They have recently completed the soundtrack to the movie SUPERCHARGED: The life and times of Tim Brauch. One of the stops on their Northwest tour is the movie premiere in Missoula, Montana on the 30th of July. Coincidence would have it that I’m sitting in the Montana night air (sweating)as I’m typing this. I’ve been staying an hour north of Missoula for the past week, and will be leaving two days before then. I will be back in time for the Portland show (with Stinkbug) at PLAN B in Portland on Thursday the 29th. That’s just rock and roll in Portland, there will be no showing of Supercharged at that time. I’m not sure if Supercharged is the project formerly known as Beans or not. Portland flyer after the jump.

Paper Tongues Skateboard contest

I know nothing about this band but the hard working gal from their publicity company has sent me a thousand emails about other bands and even a few CDs that I have never gotten around to reviewing, so Kaytea, this one’s for you. These guys are playing a few stops on the Dew Tour and are having a contest to win a custom Paper Tongues skateboard. You enter by making a skate video with a Paper Tongues sound track. You can get the details here. Give us a heads up if you enter.

Lady Skate and the Skateboard Kids

This is Lady Skate and the Skateboard Kids, from the Barcaly Records 1977 release. The A side is Skateboard Baby, and the B-Side is The Skateboard Lesson. This skateploixtation record is a French production, but I swear I’ve heard of that label in conjunction with some other skateboard music titles. – Oh yeah, Thanks to Matthijs for tipping me off to the auction.

Darkest Of Kin

Here’s a rock and roll musical video for Darkest Of Kin by the hard rock band Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. The kids are really dancing to it with their sock hops and Walkmans. It’s hard as hell to tell in this video, but I saw a Salba, and possibly a Hosoi and a Duncan. I don’t know who else I missed. – Thanks to Matthijs for the tip.

Epoxies reunion show

Before you get your hopes up, this was a one off reunion gig at a benefit. In fact, FM Static distinctly warned the crowd that they should “…go nuts now cause it ain’t gonna fucking happen again!” Well, Epoxies fans can only hope he’s not a man of his word.

Streets On Fire screening Monday to benefit Jake Stults Memorial Fund.

Jake Stults died of brain injuries resulting from a skateboard accident. He was an Oregon resident and teacher who had ties to the New York/New Jersey hardcore scene. The benefit is to help his family deal with the massive medical bills incurred while trying to save his life. Even if you didn’t know him, it’s still a good opportunity to see a great classic skate video on the big screen.

Wilson!

I can’t beleive there hasn’t been a skate rock song called “Wilson” before this new JFA tune on DC Jam records. I mean, House of Neil and I were in a skate rock band called McWIlson for the love of Hosoi, and we didn’t even think to write it. Watch the vid after the jump. Read the the Brian Brannon interview on S&A.
