Yesterday, we talked about the return of Australia's queens of pop-punk, The Spazzys' (see HERE) . Today, we're going to re-present to you a bootleg of the band playing in Sydney with Marky Ramone back in 2004. Marky's role in this show, aside from drumming, was to introduce all of the songs with this unbelievable stage banter which sounds somewhere between Paul Stanley and Wayne Newton - "We're gonna get some sun in California now" - and thereby validates an iron rule of showbusiness, "Never let the drummer talk". All the rest of the music is provided by the Spazzys, with usual drummer Allly taking most of the lead vocals. Almost the entire set list consists of Ramones classics done with good spunk but the two exceptions, a take on Joey Ramone's version of "It's a Wonderful World" and the Spazzys own, very fitting, "I Wanna Cut My Hair Like Marky Ramone" really makes this a fascinating document .

tahanks for spazzys
ReplyDeletea interesting listen corny but good thanks once again
ReplyDeleteI was a satisfied customer of the album he did with Teenage Head, so I'll be interested to hear this one!
ReplyDeletei love the song introductions. They are so horrible that they almost seem inspired. I remember seeing the Ramones in 1995 (too young to have seen them before that unfortunately). They played at the Berrymore Theatre in Madison, WI. Joey's song introductions where just as bad, if not worse, so I see where Marky was influenced. I remember Joey saying in his thick New York accent "You don't know it, but under the Berrymore is....(pause for effect)...a Pet Semetary." Then they went into Pet Semetary. I remember thinking it was horrible back then, and yet, I quote it to this day....my friends know that whenever I launch into a "You don't know it..." in my poor facsimile of a New York accent, they know what is coming next.
ReplyDeleteAs a side note- I see that you linked to the Spazzy's drummer's homepage....and turns out she does rap....but not very well. I felt sort of awkward for her.
Anyway, thanks for reposting this....as well as your postings of other Spazzy's stuff. I love the band, and it was nice to get some of the rare stuff that I didn't have.
