I grew up in the countryside on the outskirts of a small city of 25 thousand. There were lots of woods and most kids spent a lot of time there. When I was 10 or 11 or somewhere in that age, 

some of the older kids told us a story that is ridiculous now but at the age it scared the crap out of us.

The story goes that a guy escaped from the mental hospital and stole a car. The police were chasing him and the car ran out of gas…near the woods by my house. The guy then ran into the woods. The guy was bleeding so they brought in some dogs to track him because it was dark. The dogs followed the trail but then the trail just ended. They came back at daylight to continue to search but they never did find him…..and they think he might still be out there somewhere…. :-) 

Of course were were scared to go in the woods alone or at night after that.

Kuva
 Phantom Creep Fest Weekender Otto’s Shrunken Head, Manhattan, NYC Friday 25th October Our Wicked Lady, Brooklyn, NYC Saturday 26th October Otto’s Shrunken Head in downtown Manhattan is a bit of a Mecca for all things Tiki, music and good times. Mike Decay (is it too soon to call him legendary?) regularly puts on bands and DJ sets here as part of his monthly Midnite Monster Hop events that have been running for the last 25 years. However, it’s his annual Phantom Creep Fest Weekender that we’re here for. At past events you might have seen some familiar faces such as the Surfin’ Wombatz and Screaming Rebel Angels. Tonight though we were being treated to a couple of DJ sets from Bal Croce (The Sting-Rays) and Susan Lewis (The Meteors, The Tall Boys). It was also an opportunity to catch up with friends from both sides of the pond. The weekend was promising to be a good one.   Friday The Phantom Creep Fest Weekender happens over three days around Halloween (we only atten...

DOUBLE BILL Folk und Roots

 10.01.2025 Paapan Kapakka, Tampere STENARI & THE SNAKEOIL COMPANY Aina on luvassa mukavan leppoista ja maanläheistä menoa, kun Stenari astuu lavalle yksin tai yhdessä huikean bändinsä kera. "Onko tämä cowboy musiikkia" kysyi eräs leidi, kun istuin vapaaseen pöytään. No siinäpä oli hyvä pelin avaus kolmen toisilleen vieraan ihmisen kesken. Yritin selittää, että jos tietää Johnny Cash herran, niin sinne suuntaan on kallellaan illan musiikki. Kun kyseisen leidin kaveri saapui Tapparan pelistä pöytään, niin hän kysyi samoin sanoin "onko tämä bändi cowboy musiikkia"🤭 jo vain olihan se ja paljon muuta. Kahden huippusetin aikana; jotka minä todistin; pureuduttiin tärkeisiin asioihin kuten mm rakkaaseen tyttäreen, miehet ovat sikoja, paholaisen pois hätistämiseen, junien tuhoamiseen, kännissä ajamiseen ja kaikkeen muuhun arkipäiväiseen normi ihmisten elämään. Perus Jamppa ja Jaana yleisö näytti ottavan täyden ilon irti cowboy musiikista. Samassa pöydässä istunut mies ...

GARAGE/TRASH HITS HARDLY TO GREAT BRITAIN vol.1

 Garage/Trash hits hardly to Great Britain:                     SUSAN LEWIS : You are on that lucky generation that have possibility to see all these big youth music movements from teddy boy rocknroll revival, born of punk music to rockabilly boom and psychobilly invasion and same time big bang of garage and trash music. What memories you do have bout all this happenings and how those things changed youth way of thinking and their way of life? The first thing I was into as kid was Rock n Roll. When I first started to like music, there were a lot of Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochran 10th anniversary records, to commemorate their lives. There was also films such as That’ll Be the Day which was about the Teddy Boy lifestyle, so it was natural that I would want to be a Ted. The first bands I saw were Crazy Cavan and the Rhythm Rockers, and Flying Saucers. Too many other bands to name, but there was some great gigs at The Lyceum in London in...
