RIP Gary Moore

Damn!

This One!!

If you're astute and followed this blog for a while you may have noticed that a couple of all woman bands from Asia featured in the form of Taiwan's BB Bomb and Japan's Thug Murder. The Gaia were an all female Japanese band that were knocking around in the mid 90's. They made their way over to the States and played Gilman Street(which is a legendary venue due to weighty fanzine status but probably a shithole that's actually no different to many other venues) and recorded a few live songs on this half studio album. Anyway the Gaia play speedy ripping punk rock which really should be heard by everyone interested in such things. It's a shame there's not to much info around about these girls.

It's this one!

No SaNER

I don't know a whole lot about this Virginia metal band and there's not much info out there in cyberspace. Anyway they're a three piece and have a sound somewhere between Bay Area thrash metal and some of the metaller 80's US punk stuff. The album, Ire is made up of studio and live track plus a cassette only release.

Grrrrr.

Vibrators - New Zealand 2010

There is no text.

Arcwelder

Here's an early Bob Mould album. Hang on, it's an actual band and they're all wearing Husker Du T-shirts and consider "Workbook" to be the greatest album ever made.

Jack it!

Rocket Jocks

Remember when ESPN extreme sports was often backed by American pop punk. This Gisborne soap box derby clip utilizes the same idea with Gisborne band The Rocket Jocks song "Man VS Robot".

Fluf - Home Improvements

Although San Diego based Fluf were a band that had a New Zealand connection through drummer Miles Gillet, who was previously in Salad Daze. The band's sound falls somewhere between Big Drill Car, Husker Du and grunge bands like Seaweed and Nirvana.

I think so, Tim.
