Angry Johnny and the Killbillies
I am hoping one of you kind folks could give me some insight with regard to the above. I have been asking friends - many have "heard of them" but no one has any first hand knowledge. They will be at the Rodeo Bar in NYC tomorrow and I am wondering if it is worth the trip from CT. A friend sent me the below but that's all I seem to be able to get at this point. Found something: according to Village Voice: "the most rip-roarin', butt-kickin', combo yet to bust out of the no-depression ranks will no doubt tear up the joint" ... Any advise/info would be greatly appreciated. On or offlist is fine. Thanks, Kat
Re: Rusty Wier
Rusty is alive and kicking in Austin. Tuesdays and Wednesday he is usually at Gino's Italian Grill. Thursdays Rusty can be found at the Saxon Pub (as well as an occasional Friday or Saturday night). Rusty also gets to Dallas to perform at Poor David's once in awhile. "Are We There Yet?" (co-produced with Larry Nye) features Rusty's son, Coby on guitar. Coby is a great player and has brought a new college age crowd to Rusty's shows. "My Side Of The Story" was co-written with another son, Bon Wier. As far as I know Bon was Rusty's drummer for a while (but after getting married left for a 'day job'). Jerry Jeff Waker, Steven Fromholz, Ray (Wylie Hubbard) and Larry Joe Taylor provide some of the vocals on another great tune, "Hot Spot" (co written with M. Ballew, B. Moulds and Rusty). That's all I know.. Kat Just outta curiosity. Back awhile (like the 70's-early 80's) I snagged a few pieces of vinyl from Austin based singer/songwriter Rusty Wier and loved them. Was listening to one the other day and wondering what ever became of Mr. Wier and what might he be doing now. I haven't seen anything by him in years. Iceman

Dale Watson Report?
Kate - I did't get back to CT until sunrise on Friday and had to work that day but here is your report. Dale Watson and the guys delivered an awesome show (as usual) on Thursday at the Rodeo Bar in NYC. After a few problems with the mics and monitors the crowd was treated to another great show by Dale. Dale and the Lonestars started off with a few of Dale's songs and then quickly launched into the 'living legends' part of the set. After a quick break, the guys returned to the stage for a shorter second set - mostly requests from the crowd. Dale sang two out of three of my requests - 'Poor Baby' and 'Exit 109'. Billy Dee (GA Male Vocalist of the Year), Ricky Davis (he's the best!) and Scott (yes, he was with the Dixie Chicks for about a year and a half) were right on the money! The bar was so crowded if you weren't lucky enough to get a seat at a table or able to find standing room close to the tables you could not hear much. I was lucky enough to get half a chair (compliments of Buddy-Ghost Rockets) so I was able to get a few good photos. After the show Dale talked with the fans, posed for pictures and signed autographs. At the end of the night Dale found a note from NY's finest on the Longhorn Suburban in the form of a $60 parking ticket (Welcome to the Big Apple). I must give Charlie Gouveia (Roadbilly Management) lots of credit for keeping everything running smoothly despite a few problems with the venue. Come on, give the guy a table for the CD's and t-shirts - sheesh Kat NP Steel Rodeo -Pack My Bag

CDNow, Valley Orchard
Recieved this and thought I would pass it on to those of you who may be interested in this information. bfn, Kat _ Artists - Selling your albums through CD Now I recently wrote to CD Now to ask how an indie artist can sell their music through the CD Now service. The prompt reply is as follows: Dear __, Thank you for contacting CDnow. We work predominantly with Valley, a major one-stop, which provides us with our selection. It has been difficult to stock independent music at Valley because of limited shelf space. But with help from The Orchard, a new on-line distributor/warehouse, you can get your releases into Valley's database (and thus into CDnow) and have them sold for as low as $10.00. All you need to do is visit The Orchard at http://www.theorchard.com and go through their sign up procedures. Their goal is to allow EVERY band and label access to Web distribution. Once you are carried by The Orchard you will be in the CDnow store. Go ahead, check it out! If you have any questions contact them at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or call 212-941-1979. Yours truly, Al Customer Service CDnow, Inc. http://cdnow.com
Tired in CT
Hi Kate - Drove up and back to Boston last night. Remains were great!!! Lots of faces from the 'old' days. Interesting to see lots of vinyl being autographed. Heard their was an article and photo in one of the Boston papers. Could you direct me to where I can get a copy - especially a copy of the photo? Thanks, Kat
Re: Tired in CT
Sorry that last post should have been sent offlist!!! My brain just can't function on 3 hours sleep. Kat
Remains - Saturday
I have an extra ticket for The Lost, Rising Storm and my personal favorite Barry and the Remains for Saturday March 20th at the Paradise in Boston. Anyone interested in taking this free ticket please contact me offlist. Kat
RE: Bramletts
I saw Bekka in October '98 at Barbara's in Printer's Alley. She just walked in to jam for a little bit. She has a rockin' voice filled with soul. Her Mama would have been proud. A lot of Tina Turner influence - just happens that Tina and Bonnie are close friends. Bekka had just come off the road from touring with Billy Joel. And last I heard she was singing backup with Travis Tritt. That's all I know,Kat
Re: Bramletts
Bonnie had a bit part (several episodes) in the sitcom Roseanne. She sang in their local drinking establishment with David Crosby.
Merle/Dale
Kate - No, Merle didn't play with Dale at Tramps. I know Dale would have thought he had died and went to heaven if Merle had. Let me know what you can about the Paradise - thanks. Off the see the Ghosts Rockets at the Rodeo Bar in NYC tonight. e ya later, Kat

OOPS - my last post should have been offlist. Kat
Greg Garing Friends
I saw Greg and Friends this past Friday night for the first time. I asked my friend, Holly Tashian what to expect and she told me I was in for a treat. Well, she was right. It was a great show at a very nice smaller venue, Emmerline Theater in Mamaroneck, NY. Some familiar songs and a few originals too. Greg surrounds himself with very fine musicians (I just hope I get the names right): Bob Clark - bass and guitar Barry Mitterhoff - mandolin Buddy Woodward (Ghost Rockets) - banjo and bass Mary Olive - (sorry I can't remember your last name -but I do remember you wonderful voice) - vocals It was a great show - I look forward to seeing them in the future. Back to lurking... Kat

Re: Barry and the Remains (Boston content)
Hi Jon Johnson - I talked to Dale a few days ago - no Boston dates at this time. But I am sure he will be back there (most likely this summer). I sent Barry the post with the article from the Phoenix. Last nite I posted Barry's reply to me. Back to lurking Kat (in CT) P.S. bw - 11 days 'til Willie
Re: Barry and the Remains (Boston content)
Hi Jon - Thanks for posting the article about my friend Barry Tashian. I don't know if I would classify The Remains as punk (but what do I know?). The article didn't mention Barry's nine years (80-89) with Emmylou Harris (The Hot Band). Or his recent work with his wife, Holly (bluegrass duo). Barry and The Remains did their first reunion show this past September 23rd in Leon, Spain and another show at Coney Island High in October. Barry wrote a book about his experiences with The Beatles (The Remains toured with them in 1966). The book is called Ticket to Ride and can be bought though his web site along with The Remains cd's. For all those in the NY area - Another friend of mine, Dale Watson will be at the Rodeo Bar in NYC on April 1st. Dale is also scheduled 3-31 at the Tin Angel in Philly. On 3-2 Dale will be in Richmond at Moondance. Also, Barry and Holly Tashian will be performing at the Levitt Pavilion in Westport, CT (their hometown) on June 25th. (203) 226-7600. Back to lurking P.S. Buddy, 12 days 'till Willie
RE: Barry and the Remains (Boston content)
Hi Jon - I read the article to a good friend of Barry's (In fact, he played bass with Barry in The Schemers - pre-Remains). His thought is the writer probably is too young to remember the Remains. He always considered the Remains (and the Schemers) a "garage" band. He wasn't sure when punk was first coined but thought it post-dated the Remains. Will be a great show back to lurking.. Kat
