Watch Found Footage of Suicide, The Ramones at Max’s Kansas City

Along with CBGB, Max’s Kansas City was one of the most famed venues of New York City’s 1970s punk era. The nightclub on Park Avenue South featured performances by the Velvet Underground, the Ramones and Iggy Pop and served as a home away from home for Andy Warhol and his circle of artists and musicians. First opened in 1965, Max’s was also the site of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and Aerosmith’s first New York City shows, and after closing in ‘74 and reopening in 1975 as Max’s II, the

Fricke’s Picks: The Undertones’ Pop Kicks

“Teenage Kicks” — the opening track on the 1978 debut EP, Teenage Kicks, by the Northern Ireland quintet the Undertones — is perfection. There is no other word for its two and a half minutes of balled-fist fuzz chords and raging-hormone emergency, written with telegram concision by guitarist John O’Neill and delivered with bleating-ram vigor by singer Feargal Sharkey. And that was just the beginning. Until the original lineup split in 1983, the Undertones made the best girls-and-fast-noise pop outside of the first four Ramones LPs, over their own four albums and a dozen-plus singles. An Anthology (Salvo) is a dry name for two CDs of such front-to-back joy. The first disc is a great hello to newcomers: 29 U.K. hits and choice album-and-B-side cuts sequenced out of chronological order but in weird, delightful mood swings, like the midpoint segue from the bratty zoom of “There Goes Norman” into the acid-pop flashes of “The Love Parade,” the plaintive jangle of “When Saturday Comes” and the supersugar rush “Mars Bars.” The second disc is more fun in rougher form: live tracks and demos by a band that was always within arm’s reach of punk-pop perfection.

On the Breaking Blog: Vivian Girls

Meet Vivian Girls, three Jersey lady rockers whose Brooklyn-based band churns out blasts of blistering surf-punk. The trio took their name from The Story of the Vivian Girls, in What is Known as the Realms of the Unreal, of the Glandeco-Angelinnian War Storm, Caused by the Child Slave Rebellion (a book they haven’t read) and boast personal monikers lifted from the Ramones and kickball teams. “We’re trying to write songs that are longer than two minutes,” guitarist-singer Cassie Ramone tells Rolling Stone. “We’re aiming for two-and-a-half minute songs.” Wondering why they love Burt Bacharach?

Rewind: The Week in Rock Daily

It was a wild week for one Miss Britney Spears: First a choreographer leaked word that her Video Music Awards performance is a go, then her first new single dropped, she had custody woes and that dress she wiped her chicken-greased fingers on went up for auction. New York City and punk fans lost a hero as CBGB founder Hilly Kristal died after a battle with lung cancer; Patti Smith, Debbie Harry and others remembered him, and Rock Daily ran a photo gallery of the Ramones, Talking Heads and more bands onstage at his legendary club. U2 collaborator Daniel Lanois told us that the band’s next album is progressing well, and that he and producer Brian Eno have been invited to write with the band this time around. Bruce Springsteen announced a fall tour to support his forthcoming album Magic. Bonus: Amazon will debut the video for “Radio Nowhere” on Tuesday, September 4th. We showed off some nice photos of Smashing Pumpkins, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fall Out Boy and more big names rocking the U.K.’s Reading and Leeds festivals.

Bootleg Watch: Elvis Costello Hits the Gas on “This Years Model”

Starting this week, we’re going to be spotlighting our favorite bootlegs of the moment. No, we won’t be linking to them – we don’t want anybody to get sued on our account – but if you’re interested, begin here and here. Elvis Costello and the Attractions Winterland Ballroom, June 7th, 1978 By the time Elvis Costello and the Attractions hit San Francisco for this show in 1978, they had been on the road pretty much nonstop for a solid year and had only just begun to play large rooms such as Bill Graham’s famed Winterland Ballroom. Performing most of This Year’s Model – Costello’s first album with the Attractions, which had hit stores just a few weeks prior – the four-piece bashed away at a frantic pace they haven’t matched since. The songs rush by Ramones-style – there are barely any pauses between them except for Costello screaming out terse intros like, “This one’s called ‘Pump It Up!’.” This must be why all their early press called them a punk band. Highlights include a highly pressurized ‘Watching the Detectives” and a frenzied “Radio Radio,” during which Steve Nieve bangs on his organ with such force that the thing sounds like it’s on the verge of short-circuiting.

The 60-Second Rock Tour: Spots That Inspired Songs in NYC

New York Dolls — New York Doll Hospital This decades-old doll repair shop is often credited as spot that inspirated Arthur “Killer” Kane to name his ‘70s glitter-rock band the New York Dolls. Dolls singer David Johansen disputes this account, explaining that guitarist Syl Silvain came up with the name the Dolls, then Johansen added “New York” to it. “I was thinking how there was New York, and then the rest of the country was like Gommorah,” says Johansen. “The city was so different than now — it was burnt out, full of boarded-up buildings and had this post-apocalyptic vibe. It was like love among the ruins — that’s the kind of name I was going for.” Nonetheless, people all over the world still send their dolls to get repaired at the Doll Hospital. “I never lost a patient,” boasts proprietor Irving Chase. One recent customer was Bruce Springsteen, who had his favorite childhood teddy bear repaired so he could give it to his son. The Ramones — “53rd & 3rd” On the Ramones first album, Dee Dee sings about hustling on this street corner, an infamous gay prostitute zone in the early 1970s. Joey Ramone’s brother, Mickey Leigh, recalled seeing him there in punk oral history Please Kill Me: “He had a black leather motorcycle jacket on, the one he would later wear on the first album cover … I was kinda shocked to see someone I knew standing there, like, “Holy shit. That’s Doug standing there. He’s really doing it.” Dee Dee also claims the song is about him, and not a Green Beret as is often said. “The song ‘53rd & 3rd’ speaks for itself,” he once said. “Everything I write is autobiographical and very real. I can’t write any other way.” The corner now houses the Lipstick Building, named for obvious reasons. Velvet Underground — Lexington and 125th Street This is the infamous street corner Lou Reed sang about scoring heroin on the 1967 Velvet Underground classic “I’m

Check out the list below: 1. Guns N’ Roses — “Welcome to the Jungle” 2. AC/DC — “Thunderstruck” 3. Metallica — “Enter Sandman” 4. AC/DC — “Hell’s Bells” 5. White Stripes — “Seven Nation Army” 6.

Will Madonna Be the Next to Cameo on The Simpsons?

The latest bold-faced-name musician rumored to appear on The Simpsons is none other than Madonna. While we’re not holding our breath for the notoriously choosy Material Mom to actually eat anyone’s shorts, the notion brings back fond memories of our favorite appearances by rockers on the legendary show (remember the White Stripes’ underwhelming cameo?) Which rock-related Simpsons cameos do you like best? Here are five of our favorites: Metallica’s tour bus breaks down and Bart takes the band to school with him. Spinal Tap are smothered by their half-inflated devil at a disastrous show in Springfield. Homer goes to the Rolling Stones’ rock & roll fantasy camp and runs into Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Elvis Costello and Lenny Kravitz. The Ramones sing a punk-rock version of “Happy Birthday” to Mr. Burns. Johnny Cash is Homer’s coyote spirit guide.

R.E.M. Rock Hard on New Songs, Rarely Played Tracks at the Hollywood Bowl

“We’re a really good live band,” R.E.M. vocalist Michael Stipe said backstage at the Hollywood Bowl yesterday. Not bragging, just laying out the facts. “So even on a bad night, it’s going to be entertaining. And some nights, it’s magical.” Down the hall, five hours before showtime, guitarist Peter Buck was busy pulling together the band’s set list (one of his longtime jobs in the group). “My job is to mix the new and the old,” Buck said. “All of the new songs are shorter, so we play more songs. It’s like the Ramones.” Last night, R.E.M. ended up cramming twenty-six songs into a blitzkrieg-bop show running a bit under two hours. On the third date of their summer tour, they made their 2008 agenda clear: rock, rock, and in addition, a bit more rock. The set was powered by eight of the eleven tracks on their new fast-and-loud album Accelerate, but it kicked off with 1984’s “Pretty Persuasion” and included some surprises, such as the acidic political rant “Ignoreland” (from Automatic for the People, but never played live before this tour). Stripped down to a five-man touring band (Stipe, Buck, and Mike Mills, plus multi-instrumentalist Scott McCoughey and drummer Bill Rieflin), R.E.M. played like hungry men. Concert staples like “Walk Unafraid” and “Fall on Me” were revved up, while “Circus Envy” (from Monster) got a heavy-metal makeover. Even an impromptu encore of “Happy Birthday” (dedicated to Stipe’s 40-year-old “computer guy”) was surprisingly rocking. “We’re available for parties,” joked Mike Mills at its conclusion. As Stipe promised, it was all hugely entertaining — and some songs, like the set-closing “I’m Gonna DJ” and an acoustic version of “Let Me In,” were indeed magical. Stipe’s final review, delivered onstage: “Not bad

Fricke’s Picks: The Dictators, The Pretty Things and The Wildbirds

Weekend Warriors In August 1973, the Ramones were a year away from their first gigs, sitting around in Queens, looking for something to do, when Bronx-bred bombers the Dictators went into a Columbia Records studio to make the five-song demo that opens Every Day Is Saturday (Norton). It’s a rock-city set of work tapes and outtakes, mostly from the band’s first decade, that doubles as iron-fist proof that the Dictators were punk even before CBGB. The founding triad of singer-bassist Andy Shernoff and guitarists Ross the Boss and Scott “Top Ten” Kempner was deeply glam, too — and truly heavy — in its hooks, slash and crush. With Shernoff’s smart, acerbic songwriting, the Dictators were also arguably America’s funniest and most fearless (if not famous) explorers of the American teenage wasteland. “Sleepin’ With the TV On,” “Faster and Louder,” “Baby Let’s Twist” and “I Stand Tall,” all here in rough, exuberant blueprints of later LP versions, are the equal and more of Killer-era Alice Cooper — atomic pop about fast food, warm beer and salvation noise, sealed with the subway-soul bravado of microphone bruiser Handsome Dick Manitoba. Ironically, the Dictators, who have made only four studio albums since those ‘73 demos, outlived the Ramones, still popping up on singles and stages. “The joke’s on you!” Manitoba crows in “Laughing Out Loud,” cut in 1999. Save your bread for Saturday, and know why he’s right. Also note the radio ad here for the Dictators’ 1977 stand at the Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles: You could get in for a buck, and some lucky folks got a free copy of the band’s Bloodbrothers album. Those were the days. The Long View For longevity and sheer bloody-mindedness, even the Dictators can’t compete with the Pretty Things, founded in London in 1963 by singer Phil May and guitarist Dick Taylor, an early Rolli

“Rock Band” Reveals Full Song List: Pixies, NIN, Killers, Metallica, Rush, Clash, Who and More

We’ve spent some time here at Rock Daily gushing about the all-around wonder of Harmonix’s latest music-based video game Rock Band (a.k.a. Guitar Hero for fake drummers, bassists and singers who actually have three other friends to “play music” with). In keeping with its near-perfect gameplay, the folks behind the title have finally revealed its near-perfect playlist. Besides the inclusion of Guitar Hero favorites like Kiss (”Detroit Rock City”), Deep Purple (”Highway Star”) and Nirvana (”In Bloom”), Rock Band also serves up tracks by Radiohead, Iron Maiden, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and more for a total of forty-five tunes. For the vocalists, songs like Faith No More’s “Epic” and Rush’s “Tom Sawyer” will probably be the most challenging, and drumming along to the New Pornographers‘ “Electric Version” won’t prove so easy. The game is slated for release on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 on November 20th, and there are a few more surprises in the form of thirteen additional songs that you can unlock as you rock. Check after the jump for the entire game tracklist. From the press release: Rock Band Set List: In addition to the 45 tracks listed below, Rock Band will also feature 13 songs ranging from a variety of established bands to up-and-coming independent artists that can be unlocked as you play through the game. 1960s Rolling Stones “Gimme Shelter” 1970s Aerosmith “Train Kept a Rollin’”* The Who “Won’t Get Fooled Again” Boston “Foreplay/Long Time” Mountain “Mississippi Queen”* The Police “Next to You” David Bowie “Suffragette City” Black Sabbath “Paranoid”* Blue Oyster Cult “Don’t Fear the Reaper” The Ramones “Blitzkrieg Bop” Deep Purple “Highway Star” KISS “Detroit Rock City” Molly Hatchet “Flirtin’ With Disaster” The Outlaws “Green Grass &#
