Full event details: RockTheGarden2013.com
UPDATE: 06/16/13
*The show was broadcast LIVE on 89.3FM - The Current. Since we were unable make it out for this one, we tuned in (and stayed glued right to the very end!) starting at 5:45pm - just in time to catch the Bob Mould Band who delivered an incredibly incendiary performance. The Silversun Pickups, rained out of their scheduled performance at Stir Cove in Council Bluffs, IA on Friday night, took the stage around 7:20pm and delivered a pent up set of their always amazing sounding psych-alt-rock. Metric finished things off, their set beginning around 8:45pm and coming to a close just over an hour later.

No word on exactly when we'll finally get to hear the finished track(s). As soon as I know a release date I'll pass the info along right here.

06/08/13 Nazareth/ The Oddfathers @ Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, IA - Part III: Nazareth
06/08/13
Nazareth/ The Oddfathers
@ Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, IA
Part III: Nazareth
(Continued from: PART II - The Oddfathers)
After a brilliant, take-no-prisoners opening set by the Minneapolis-based Oddfathers, a brief equipment change followed and then it was time for the headliners, Nazareth, to take the stage at the legendary Surf Ballroom. The hard rocking 70's era Scottish band are currently in the U.S. for an 8-date early summer tour. This show in Clear Lake, Iowa was the second stop on their current road trek.
I remember the first time I ever heard Nazareth pretty clearly actually. I was around 7 or 8 years old and my Mom and I were visiting my aunt and her kids, my rowdy cousins. A few my age and a few teenagers. An always active home to say the least. They were all a bunch of typical 70's kids - listening to rock and roll records was a big part of their lives and I credit them for passing this influence on to me in a big way at an early age. The first real rock 'n' roll record I ever owned besides a few Elvis LP's was a scratched up 7" single of BTO's "Takin' Care Of Business" that one of my cousins had pilfered from an older sibling and for some reason had risked an almost certain ass kicking by giving it to me. But that's another story.
On the afternoon in question, I remember being in my cousins bedroom, sitting on the floor intently looking through a stack of his older brothers albums and as he placed this one particular album on the record player, he told me with some authority that I should "definitely listen to this."
This turned out to be "Hair Of The Dog," the 1975 album by Nazareth. Now, I ask you, in 1978, what 7 year-old kid wasn't gonna fall in love with some dude screeching "Now you're messin' with a....SON OF A BIIIIITCH!!" at top volume? Of course I loved it. I think we just listened to that song a few times and had some laughs about being bad kids for listening to it or something. I don't think I heard the full album for several years, probably at some point in my early teens was the next time. To me by that point they were just another "O.K." hard rock band and there were so many other bands to check out and try to keep up with. I guess this is all a just a rather long winded way to say that, despite the fact that I always enjoyed listening to Nazareth, I was never a huge, dedicated fan waiting for them to come to town so I could check them out live or waiting in line at the record store on release day for their new albums.
And to be honest, I probably would not have driven from the Twin Cities to Clear Lake to see them had The Oddfathers not been added to the bill at the last minute. But when it was decided we were going - I got a bit excited to see Nazareth for the first time too. I've seen Foghat and B.O.C. and Grand Funk, why the hell not Nazareth too?
...and then it was on!
So being I'm not this life-long Naz-head or whatever you'd call an extreme Nazareth fan, I'm not really familiar with their music catalog outside the aforementioned "Hair Of The Dog" album. I know they have a bunch of records going back to like 1970 or something...so I know I wasn't gonna know most of their stuff possibly. Didn't know that first one. Wasn't too sure if I even wanted them to finish it actually. I wasn't really feeling it but I figured things would tick up a notch, and, thankfully they they did - it just took a few songs.
The band pulled off a nice, thick swagger on this version of "Beggar's Day" and I'm enjoying the guitarist. He could be louder I remember thinking. I'm usually thinking that at any show I go to so...you know...whatever. But they sounded pretty good.
So by this point in the show the band had kind of really got their groove together - I wasn't so sure for the first few songs but they seemed locked in together by this point and even though they weren't blowing me away or anything...I was definitely enjoying listening to them rock this room full of people and was glad for getting the opportunity to catch them on their brief tour.
Ha! Hands down that was the BEST version of that song I've ever heard. Never cared for it much at all but that was pretty kick ass.
And then...that was it for the camera battery.
By this point I was beginning to think about the long drive back home after a pretty long day and we ultimately decided, a song or two later as the band played on, that we'd slowly begin working our way towards the exit so we could get on our way. I figured they had to be wrapping it up rather soon anyway. We walked outside, the sound of the band fading into the distance, I was thinking I was glad to see Nazareth is still out there road-dogging it and bringing their music to their fans...even if, it seemed from my perspective, their best performing days might be a bit behind them at this point. The fact that they're still out there at all, obviously enjoying it from what I could see, and sounding like they're giving it 100% as they're able to do - I guess that's all that matters.

New York City Images As Album/CD Cover Art #126: West End Records (7" & 12" Single Sleeves)
OK - so technically these are not examples of "New York City Images As Album/CD Cover Art." But I figured the New York City skyline represented on 7" and 12" singles produced by West End Records (a popular New York City-based dance/disco label founded back in 1976) qualified them to be included in this series.
West End Records 7" single (paper sleeve)
West End Records 12" single (cardboard sleeve)
So how did I come to know about these West End Records NYC sleeve images in the first place? I'm so very glad you asked!
A few weeks back, our friend and fellow insatiable music lover Tim B. posted a great piece over at Stupefaction titled "Movie Of The Week: The Godfather of Disco: Mel Cheren and West End Records." This amazingly well put together, nearly one-and-a-half documentary examines the formation of West End Records in 1976 amid the then still exploding dance/disco music craze and how, eventually, label founder Mel Cheren came to be considered by many as the "Godfather Of Disco." And don't think for a minute that just because you might consider yourself some hardcore Punk or Headbanger that you shouldn't watch this movie because it's a "Disco flick." I consider myself to be some fucked up mix of Metalhead and Punk (who admittedly also has a small, secret admiration for some disco music - Shhh! Don't tell anyone!) - and I still found this movie to be an absolutely fascinating look at a segment of the music industry I'm not really so knowledgeable about. I would highly recommend "The Godfather Of Disco" as essential viewing to anyone who seeks a greater knowledge and understanding on the topic of both underground and popular dance/disco music produced in the 1970's - 1980's as well as the culture and life styles of those involved in its creation and distribution.
