There are plenty of Gulls Window Circus shows that start off or have a few rock songs buried within – this show flips that and has 2 non-rock songs at the start, before progressing to a rock show, with highlights such as Pajama Slave Dancers America cover, a 1973 Foghat track (classic!), a 1975 Pavlov’s Dog track, then to 1977, Mink Deville exhibiting the wide-reaching sounds of NYC CBGB ground zero, and 1981 LA with Gleaming Spires (bassist and drummer of ‘Whomp That Sucker’-era Sparks), then to 1984 late period Edward Ball (The Times).

A 4 second Marvin Gaye sample becomes a 7:18 track and it’s not a second too long – that is the LTJ Xperience out of Italy. Also excellent stuff from Dutch artist Andre de Saint-Obin, France’s Elli & Jacno, England’s Mock & Toof, and SF’s 40 Thieves and Patrick Cowley. A short but worthy dip.

English disco artist John Schroeder opens this show with his sole release as Hi Voltage Orchestra from 1979 – very nice… US DJ Osmose does a re-edit of James Brown ‘Down And Out In New York City’ on a Smokecloud 12″. There is a 2012 track from Detroit’s Theo Parrish follows. A jazzy MadDisco re-edit. Walter Whisenhunt (promoter for James Brown, discoverer and eventual spouse of Gloria Ann Taylor), collaborates with her on a 70s funk/soul monster. Back to Detroit with Rick Wilhite. Then back to 1981 for Arnies In Love, then forward to 1984 for Pink And Black. That’s just the first hour – explore and enjoy.

Brooklyn trio Archie Pelago start off with a chilled jazzy track. Biologia (Joe Nunez) give us a modern disco track from their sole release, a 7″. Rx (a collaboration between Benedek and Delroy Edwards) continue with boogie sounds, as do Amsterdam, Netherlands based L33. At that point we start a good and proper rock show with some high-tailed glam (Brett Smiley, Bonnie St. Claire, Apple Pie & Custard), some NYC goodness (The Brats, ImpLOG, Chandra ), German pop on the awesome Firestation Tower label (Hot Rain, Monostars, The Vermont Sugar House, Shy) and who-knows-where-from reggae artist Sheila Rickards – there has been a private detective trying to find her and a documentary about it filmed but not released.
