The Feelies - Neptune, NJ 1988 + bonus

Green Parrot

Neptune, NJ

BIG THANKS to THE KING OF ROCK for the amazing job he did recording and editing this show

REPERCUSSION: The dB’s have indirect connections to The Feelies. One example: Anton Fier, who for a time was drummer for The Feelies, went on to found The Golden Palominos, which roped in both Chris and Peter for collaborative efforts. The dB’s and The Feelies also have Hoboken, N.J. in common. While they were in the NYC area, The dB’s often played in Hoboken, at times recorded there, and Gene Holder lived there for many years.

Repercussion: Here's a page at this blog that spells out the many connections between LX Chilton and The dB's.

Repercussion: I get the feeling Peter Blegvad has been friends with Chris Stamey and Peter Holsapple for some time, but I don't know how they met, etc. Chris produced Peter B's wonderful King Strut & Other Stories album, on which Peter H did his multi-instrumentalist thing on several of its tracks. Well-worth seeking out!

BIG HONKIN' THANKS to the taper and to p.z. for sharing!

Peter Blegvad's latest is a collaboration with Andy Partridge (XTC) called Gonwards. It's very different and very cool. Highly recommended. They seem to have a YouTube video for every song on the album!

Tee Hedz - Central Park, NYC 1980

THIS ONE’S LOSSLESS

REPERCUSSION: This blog is devoted mainly to two groups active primarily in the 1980s — groups at times lumped in with the so-called “New Wave”. So, at some point, I wanted to post something by this group. Otherwise, there’s no connection between our heroes from Winston-Salem, NC and the Tee Hedz from NYC.

SAMPLE: "Take Me to the River (Central Park 1980)"

01 Warning Sign (beginning cut, fades in)*

02 Stay Hungry
03 Cities
04 band intros 
05 I Zimbra
06 Once In A Lifetime
07 Houses In Motion
08 Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On)
09 Crosseyed and Painless (fades in)** 
10 Take Me to the River
11 The Great Curve
 

     *first song in the set, Psycho Killer, is not included here

     **Life During Wartime from this show was officially released, so is omitted here (would have been the track before “Take Me to the River”)
 

ROB SEZ: I’ve tried to make it hard for the Internet music police to find this post. I’ve misspelled the name of the band and its original members. When Hans De V began sharing his amazing Tee Hedz tape collection a while back, the powers-that-be were all over his posts, and they disappeared quickly. I don’t want to jeopardize my humble little blog by calling attention to posts like this.

REPERCUSSION: Peter joined the Continental Drifters in the early 1990s after The dB's were kaput, and he stayed with the group until it disbanded circa 2003. While they were active, the Drifters recorded several of Peter's songs, so if you enjoy his singing and songwriting, those discs are definitely worth seeking out. Their music is excellent! (Here’s another Drifters show I posted a while back.)

01 A Song for You (Gram Parsons cover)
