The Twits - Sweets for My Sweet 7'' (1980)

Patricia Paay is a well known pop star from the Netherlands and she and her sister Yvonne Keeley were in the band Star Sisters.
This is the only thing they recorded under the name the Twits and it's extremely hard to find. It appears on eBay every now and then and never goes for less than $100 because it's sought after more by Patricia Paay fans than ska collectors.

After Star Sisters broke up Patricia had a very successful solo career and even posed for Playboy a few times.
She was married to American MTV veejay Adam Curry.

The G-Men - The G Files [REPOST]

Great 2Tone sounds...

...from their Myspace

"The G Men are a ska band from Northern England who were formed in 1989 in Darlington. The first band rehearsal took place at Chandos Street Recording Studio with Dins, Dell (aka Mr Sausage) and Crozzer. Shortly after this evening of song, Mark Wilson and Laze joined the band and The G Men were born. After a handful of successful local shows, The G Men supported ska legends including Bad Manners, The Selecter, The Nutty Boys, Laurel Aitken, The International Beat and Bim Skala Bim. North Sea Records approached the band to record an album, and 'The G Files' was released on the label in 2000 to favourable reviews from the UK press. The G Men decided to take a break in 2002, but five years later they reformed after a number of alcohol fuelled rehearsals in Darlington. Since their reformation, the dudes have performed alongside Prince Buster, Bad Manners, Neville Staple, Pauline Black, The Toasters, The Hotknives and The Blaster Master. In 2009, the band appeared at the Feuerwerks Open Air Festival in Mainz, Germany, where their crazed set went down extremely well with the crowd. The G Men celebrate their 22nd anniversary this year, and we would like to invite you to join us in the celebrations."

The Lotions 12" EP (1981)

I know what you're thinking..."who's this Rastaman?" Right? That's what you're thinking. Well, I have a surprise for you - this man is not Jamaican, no, he's actually from Texas.
His name is Alan Monsarrat and he started the first ska/reggae band in Texas.
I have not found any information that would lead me to believe that they released anything other than this EP.

However, Alan himself is currently heading Austin's premiere reggae band Mau Mau Chaplains. (As well as the band Stop the Truck)
They sound like this:



The Lotions sound like this...this is a cover of "Pushin' Too Hard" originally by the Seeds


A1 - Pushin' Too Hard
A2 - Groovin Song
B1 - Get Up (Don't Get Down)
B2 - Just Like a King

The Hangovers - Large Sum of Money
The High Tides - Wrong em Boyo
The Igniters - Ignition

This amazing collection was submitted by Merrick who provided these tidbits of info:

THE IGNITERS - IGNITION

This band is most of the Allniters plus Kirk Pengilly from INXS - they released 2x 12"s.

I interviewed Brett from the Allniters in 1997, and he told me that INXS supported them
when they first started out and gave them a demo tape with ska songs on it including a cover
of Gangsters ! INXS doing Gangsters, to my knowledge, has never been found.


LOIN GROIN - AIYEFEL SEAT COVERS

You have to hear this one if you haven't already. It comes from a rare cd called
Arise Sir Loin which was only given away at their last ever gig. Sadly I missed it
- them being in Melbourne and I in Sydney, but I managed to track down a copy of the cd.


BEDLAM BEGGERS - SWEET TALKIN' GIRL

This was the band I played in - I wrote song #12 on ska skank down under vol.2,
but not this one. There's about 20 studio tracks in total, and a few live bootlegs.


OFFBEATS [Melbourne] - RIPPLE SOLE SHOES

Gary Skaman Rosche from Melbourne sent this to me only a year or so ago, rare as rocking horse poo,
apparently Pete wanted to put a copy on Ska Skank Down Under vol. 1 but couldn't get this track at the time.
It comes from a 4 song demo tape.



GILGAMESH - UNITY (OPIV cover)

Gilgamesh were a punk ska band from Sydney, recently done some reunion shows. This is an OPIV cover,
they also do "Here we go again" live, which I have on a video bootleg. Graham, the drummer, recorded some
songs with Tim and (either lars or matt) from Rancid when they toured Oz in 1996, but those recordings have
never surfaced over here, not even Graham has a copy.

STRANGE TENANTS - LIVING LIFE

This comes from a live set in Manly, the only bootleg of theirs I have.

Half of this band went on to become Dr. Raju, who I have a few cds, live tracks and one dodgy live video of.



THE HIGH TIDES - WRONG EM BOYO

Gary Skaman's band from Melbourne, 4 song demo tape 2008. Garry puts in guest vocals on Bluekilla's new album as well.



ALLNITERS - STILL IN LOVE

This came from an Ausrock compilation in the early 90s. I had remembered seeing an Allniters
track listed on the cd when I saw it in a store 20 years ago, but only ever found a copy of it
again recently and snagged it straight away.

Pete Porker was after a cd copy as he only had it on tape, apparently there were more tracks
from this session which were never released and I dont have :(

A cover of a Dragon song - are you familiar with them, have you heard the original? they were a fantastic band,
not really ska but April sunn in Suba, Sunshine and this song are classics. Also, Im into heaps of Aussie pub
rock of the 80s, which occasionally crossed over into reggae & ska. Check Cold Chisel's Best Kept Lies or breakfast
at sweethearts if you haven't before.


THE HANGOVERS - LARGE SUM OF MONEY

The Hangovers live track, from a live comp called pulling on the boots, a show put on by Garry singer for the Bedlam Beggars
in 1997. Also had Backy Skank, HBlock, Dr. Raju, Skazoo, plus heaps of punk stuff. One individual track from each band,
then the last track contained another song from most bands.

...a couple'a things...

Okay, first off, I have been working 7 days a week - not because business is good, but because business is bad enough that my place of business is down to a skeleton crew and I was one of the few lucky enough to still be there - so my time on the computer isn't what it used to be and I have been very bad at getting to emails. If you've sent me an email and I haven't answered yet there's a pretty good chance that I will eventually. I'm really trying to answer all of 'em. I'm sorry...

Secondly, I have been getting a lot of complaints lately and I have removed a few posts because people who were in a band 30 years ago think they should be spending the money to put their music on cd and start charging 2011 prices for music that people stopped buying 13 years ago. I'm cool with that. The whole reason that I post this music is to make it available. If the band wants to make it available I'm 100% on their side. I am willing to promote any of the bands I have ever posted on this blog if they ever have anything to sell. We are all on the same side here. I promote ska music over any of the other trends of the day. Don't ostracize the small fan base you have left by acting high-and-mighty.

If your attorney spells the word you as u I'm going to have a a hard time taking him seriously. Why go through the trouble of legal action to begin with when you could just talk to me as a person first? It'll work out better for all of us if you did.


...forget it...this is an effete argument...

...Tone and Wave is on the verge of being shut down. I have recently taken over a friend's blog Napomm. I have done the last couple of posts and I'll continue doing more, he gave up on it so it's my blog now. I won't be posting much ska on Napomm unless T&W is shut down then I'll continue over there.


Thanks for wasting a moment of your life reading this...if you have another 5 minutes to waste watch THIS

Kyber Rifles - 100 Problems EP (1984)

Before there was Let's Go Bowling there was The Kyber Rifles. From 1981 to 1985 they were California's premiere ska band and this is their only release. It's a 7" record in a 7"x9" sleeve.
There is talk that they will be releasing these songs on cd someday. I will remove this post if I find out they are going through with it. They did record other songs (as you can see on their Myspace) so I know I'll be buying the cd. I recommend you do the same.

Maybe they recorded a studio version of their rendition of Gangsters which was great live:

Andy Pandemonium - I'm Just a Dummy (For Your Love) 7" (1980)

Andy Pandemonium was formed in the late summer of 1979 in the South Wales industrial town of Llanelli. The band members had played together previously in various combinations on the local scene, but the summer of 1979 saw keyboard player Paul “Nick” Nicholas write a series of distinctive songs that effectively combined the eccentricity of the less self-indulgent aspects of 1970s British rock with the urgency and energy of the post-punk new wave. Nick had previously featured in Llanelli-based folk rockers Carraig Aonair alongside drummer Pete Mason, and the pair had previously played with guitarist John “Sioni” Davies and bassist Gareth Phillips in numerous local ventures. Aware of the need for audience friendly presentation of the material, the band decided to recruit singer, sax-player, accordionist and all round dramatic performer Roj to complete the line up. (more)
(thanks to Bristolboy for the link!)



I have been after this record for a while and, as I had just received my tax return and, since the car decided to not have any major problems this year, I decided to indulge myself in a slightly expensive gift. The very day I was going to spend this paltry bit of money on this record Dudley from Antistereotypes sent me the songs.
Both are friggin' great so I hope you appreciate them at least half as much as I do and, if you're not already accustomed, you need to check out Antistereotypes



A - I'm Just a Dummy (For Your Love)

B - Living in Flats


http://www.mediafire.com/?1s8r44s3f6t69ui


...and, oh yeah, I spent the money I was going to spend on this on something else that's possibly more rare and interesting than this. You'll see in a few weeks.

Crown Agent - Occupational Hazzard 7" (1981)

Somebody sent me an email a couple years back about this one and they hinted that this was U2 with a female singer. I don't know that this information is true but, coincidentally, it was produced by Laurie Mellor who once organized a Christian retreat in the early 80s that U2 not only attended, but spoke at...and a recording was made:

The January 1981 retreat was held at the Gaines Christian Center in Worcester, England, and organized by Laurie Mellor as a Ghettout Music event. Mellor started Ghettout Music in 1980 as a recording and management company for motivating Christian musicians to leave the Christian music sub-culture behind for the mainstream music world.

...On the 45-minute recording, Bono, then 20, and Edge, 19, speak about their faith, the battles they face as Christians in the music business and their sense of what lies ahead for U2. They read Scripture, talk about justifying the expense of producing their next single ("Fire") in the face of global poverty, tell a few jokes and invite feedback from the audience.

(excerpts from HERE)

Keep in mind that this article doesn't support that this is U2 - in fact I don't think it is, but there is a small possibility since this record provides no info. about the band at all.

Before investigating this record I had no idea that U2 was a Christian band.

This is a Christian record. I can't tell you what the first song is about (who is this Edgar that she's singing to?). The b-side is obviously an attack on Mormons.

What would Jesus do?

A - Occupational Hazzard
B - Negative Image

Tone and Wave podcast - Episode 5

This episode was just supposed to be a re-cap on the last 3 years of the blog. It was going to focus not on the things that were downloaded most, but things that were downloaded the least. Before I started putting sound clips there were a lot of things that got very little interest based either on my minimal description, or, I don't know...maybe the cover wasn't conducive enough to what you thought a ska cover should look like. Who knows?
I already have episode 6 in the works (it won't take as long as this one did) but I will probably do the re-cap in episode 7.

Speaking of covers..I figure that I had to do this one at some point so here it is. It's cheesy, yes, but it had to be done.

This episode is chock-full of the big names:
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Cure, Simply Red, Blondie, Bruce Springsteen, Mick Jagger...

...and Steven Seagal

Oh yeah, that little clip at the beginning was John Lennon in 1971 during the rehearsal of How Do You Sleep from the Imagine album. He recommends playing it as a reggae song. In the end it didn't wind up that way. Damn shame that.

This is a very hissy tape and it's hard to listen to but it gives you a glimpse at what other songs Blue Chateau had in their set that were never released.

Sleep-N-Eat EP (1981)

This compilation from '81 claims a song called "No One Like You" by the Volecanoes. The Volecanoes being the Originals...Arthur Kays back-up band. It says that they went off on their own to do this song, but Arthur Kay helped them on it.
It's odd that this exact recording was released in 1982 under the name Arthur Kay and the Originals with the correct title "No One But You" (which is what the lyrics are).

(download this 7")

...aside from that there are a couple of power-popish rocking songs and a great track by a band called Naughty Thoughts which was headed by Mark Edwards of the Kent band The Rivals (great punk band, by the way...check em out).

...how I spent my winter vacation...

I mentioned before that I had a lot of less important things to do besides dedicating so much free time to this blog.

How do you think that went?

I did the post on the Velvetones on New Years eve and just two hours later I found myself taking a wrong turn on an icy road and I wound up on a sandy shore of Lake Arrowhead. I tried all sorts of interesting driving techniques to get back up the steep road but it looked as though the wife and I would spend our New Years freezing to death in our car.

Luckily there were some plastic shovels and buckets some kids had left behind and I was able to scrape past the frozen sand and, for over an hour, I painstaking took one little bucket of sand at a time trying to cover up as much ice as I could. Just when I had only one or two buckets to go I was walking as carefully as I possibly could down this icy hill when I started to slide. Then, like something out of a cartoon, my feet flew out from under me and I slammed down on my back. Thankfully there was a large pointed rock that broke my fall. It caught me right in my tailbone. I'm sure the initial impact hurt like hell but I was fortunate enough to have hit my head and gone unconscious for a few seconds. I came to while I was still sliding down the hill...

...long story short...we eventually got out and decided to skip out on any New Years festivities. We went straight home and I went straight to bed. (after consuming every bit of every form of alcohol I had on hand.) I could barely sit up for the first few days and it was about two weeks before I could walk without it feeling like there was an ice pick stuck in my spine.
After the pain became more of a nuisance than anything else I went back to work. My first day back one of my co-workers went home early with the flu. I woke up the next morning feeling like my veins were polluted with cold hot-dog water. I spent another week in bed.

I got almost nothing done at all in January.

I hope you all are having a better New Year than I am.

I have received lots of emails and I've responded to very few. Today's my one day off from work so, after I do this and another post or two I will start answering some emails.

One message I received via Facebook was a link to a blog called Rusty-Knife. Its a great blog. The only release from Bouncing Soles from 1988, Boss, Deltones, Loveboats, Arthur Kay, Stage Bottles, Explorersz, The Mistakes - Shut Up and Dance EP, Tara's "Ska Man" 7" from 1980, The Skunks "Solenzara" 7" from 1980, original 2 Tone and Go Feet rips and lots of original Madness and Bad Manners vinyl rips. Not only that but lots of rare Oi!, traditional ska, and punk.
