Happy St. Patricks Day! No leprechauns today, but a Gulls Window Circus rock CD show with tracks from between 1992 and 1999 does await you. The show starts with the biggest name in it (Pulp) then explores a bunch of super-worthy other names. Some you might know, like NY’s The Mommyheads, His Name Is Alive or Inspirial Carpets, but you will hear many that are new to your ears, and none of those are in this set merely for that reason – all have greatness which you will hear.

A Gulls Window Circus rock show that completes the recent run of CD rock shows before starting a new 8 week series ‘The 2000s’ next week. Aside from carefully chosen tracks by artists/bands we know, I dug out a few very under-the-radar discs by Gutterboy , ESS, Hellpop, and Johnny Barnes. They are fun to hear, but the main tracks are where the gold lies. The Ramones covering The Animals, Pale Man Made from Newcastle, Überhund from California, and a lot of others including among others Tin Machine, Harlan T. Bobo, The Rosslyns, Torn Sail, and The Stroppies.

A Gulls Window Circus rock show that starts off in a pop melodic mode, then has a brief foray into Downtown art scene rock, before settling on punky stuff that keeps the melodies strong even as the loudness goes up. Special attention to the Angel Corpus Christi cover of Theme From Taxi Driver, Robert Gordon’s Eddie Cochran cover, Chris Stamey’s Beach Boys cover, Jeff Dahl’s Dead Boys cover (and Dead Boys themselves with the Cheetah Chrome mix of Big City), The Damned’s version of Help, Eddie And The Hot Rods with MC5’s Rob Tyner as lead vocalist, Peter Bagge’s band Can You Imagine?, Defunkt’s track In The Good Times, and the Dictators/BOC-related band David Roter Method.

A CD rock Gulls Window Circus show that further (yes, Further is played) digs out stuff I only have access to on CD. Aside from me loving all the tracks here, I want to draw attention to Richie Parson’s recent Eater cover, Uberhund, who take the art of the whammy bar to new levels, The Nettelles that have two members of the 80s band Sally Skull, 45 Grave, who I have recently been enjoying in conjunction with my re-discovery of TSOL, Good Rats, a 70s band from my native Long Island that I knew about but never heard till recently, ESG from their 2002 reunion CD that sounds great today, Benett that used to front Charles Brown Superstar, and Mats Wawa, a contemporary Norwegian band that I love all releases of, and hope their new digital-only album gets a physical release.

Today’s Gulls Window Circus CD-only show has a one- off feature: Each of the two hours have the exact same artists in the exact same order, with different songs in each hour. So you get two views off each artist’s sound. I frequently wonder about how certain song choices present artists in a way that highlights what is an unusual sound for them. This week really doesn’t address that concern, it just gives you 2 songs I like a lot from each. You will hear The Mommyheads, The Hepburns, Saint Etienne ‎, Pulp, Anthony Rochester, Garlands, Holiday, The Honey Pot, The Saints, Dr. John, The Night Tripper, Paul Haig, Mia Doi Todd, Rachel Stamp, Hussy, Black Bananas, The Lookout Honeys.

The third of 3 weeks of CD shows has Gulls Window Circus’s first interview in ages – at the start of the second hour The Yellow Melodies talk about their ‘Pleasant Dreams’ record, which is a song-by-song Ramones cover record. That should not reduce excitement about the other tracks. Every single track is a thrill that it would be a shame for you to miss. Florida’s The Stargazer Lilies are here from a Part Time Punks session, Oslo faves Mats Wawa are here (just announced a new record!), Wreckless Eric is here as The Len Bright Combo. The Strait-Jackets (Allen Esser just released a Primitive Romance CD) are here. Catalonia duo Tarta Relena and another track from the impossible-to-find Catamount CD appear as well.
