SPOTLIGHT ON RUM BAR Records

Today is a first : an interview with Lou Mansdorf , Mastermind of RUM BAR Records, home to New England's newest hit-makers The Connection, pop punk heart warmers ZipGun Bomber, glam rockers n' shakers WATTS, and Boston's garage rock ambassadors to the world Muck And The Mires.

Lou on the left, Kurt Baker in the middle

It is my understanding you run RUM BAR Records on your own. Can you tell me when you started it all and why? Was this an out of the blue decision or were you thinking about starting your own label for quite a while?

LOU :  Yes, I completely own, operate and run Rum Bar Records all on my own with help and support from the bands, my wife Lisa (Queen of the Wild Bunch), and our 4 year old daughter Ida Lee (The Rum Bar and Brad Marino's biggest fan).  The label had slowly grown out of the blue but something I had been wanting to do again for quite some time.



About 20 years ago, with two best friends I started up Melted Records out of Astoria NYC, we were home to some fantastic greaser rock and pop punk bands including The Heartdrops, The Cretins, The Morning Shakes, Magnatone, Darlington, Huntingtons, The Young Hassellhoffs, 30 Amp Fuse, and released a stellar pop punk compilation with all our favorite bands called "My So-Called Punk Rock Life". Melted Records were releasing and putting greaser and garage rock bands in all the pop punk halls and rooms and had a great scene going on.

I moved to Boston about 13 years ago, and I have been friends with Geoff, Nate and Rick from the Guts going on 20 years.  About 2 years ago I was introduced to The Connection's rendition of "7 Nights To Rock" on the Underground Garage and when I found out the band was from Portsmouth NH, I emailed, texted and tweeted everyone I know in NH trying to find out who this band was and how to get their music in my hands.  The first person to respond was Geoff and his response was, "dude, that's my band".  So my response was, "dude, let's put out a record".   Geoff introduced me to Brad and we made it official pretty quick!

It only made sense, I knew these guys from their teen days long before the Guts ever existed, they used to crash at my place in Astoria, I used to book their bands and we were long-time friends who had just been out of touch a few years.

The name of the label comes from the bar in my home where we all hang, the bands are all considered family to my family and they are truly all my current favorite bands to listen to. Signing and releasing records from The Connection, ZipGun Bomber, Watts, and Kurt Baker was a dream come true for me.  Since then we have opened our doors to overseas exports The Breakdowns (who the Rum Bar refers to as Los Breakdowns), and I have re-connected with old friends from Rockford IL, Mono In Stereo.  These cats used to be in Mulligan Stu who were Melted family and appear on the Melted compilation.  Geoff and Rick of The Connection along with Nate from ZGB also appeared on the Melted comp in their old band She's A Guy, this has all come full circle for us.   We currently have a 2 song digital advance single/beer koozie available for sale from Mono In Stereo to keep the fans satisfied till the full length is unleashed.

Was The CONNECTION the first band signed on your label? How did you get in touch with them?

LOU: The Connection is the Rum Bar's first signing, we have released 2 LP's, The Connection's Xmas CD and a 7 inch to date with them.  The first "Seven Nights" LP is sold out and "Let It Rock" is getting close.  I have known Geoff and Rick from The Connection along with Nate from ZipGun Bomber over 20 years, they were just young teenagers when we first met in Fishtracks Studio, i was on tour with the Gotohells and we stopped in Boston and Portsmouth to do some shows with the Tunnel Rats and Queers, I had made so many great friends on my trip with the Gotohells through New England that we remained friends and worked together with their other bands all these years.   When I first moved to Boston, Geoff, Rick and Nate were playing in the Guts and used to play shows that I was booking at a local bar called The Abbey Lounge and we used to throw killer BBQ's at the place I was living before the shows, we just picked up our friendship where it left off and music was what always drove it.

Kurt Baker I met when he was in the Leftovers I was working for his label Oglio Records' distribution arm Fontana.

My wife Lisa and I were hanging at the Abbey Lounge one mid-week Wed night and all of Lynchy (Watts' drummer) former Avoid One Thing Drummer walks in.  I knew Lynchy from AOT and ask what he's doing there, and he said he is playing drums for this reunited glam band called Watts.  the band gets on stage and we see this dude who we always knew by site but never knew personally get on stage in his perfectly feathered ala Ron Wood hair do and we are like holy shit that guy plays in a band!!!  turns out that guy was Johnny Blout who later became one of our dearest and closest friends in Boston along with the rest of the band Watts.  That day, I swear the first time we saw them I said if I ever start up a label again I am signing Watts.  A few years later we have a CD and 7 inch and shows and all this stuff going on with them on the Rum Bar!!  Again solidifying our family connection.

What are the plans for the future/next releases in 2015 as far as RUM BAR is concerned?

LOU: Future plans include (no particular order), working closely with the bands on press, radio, shows, tours, I help manage all projects, we have a show this week with ZGB and The Connection supporting the Biters which I helped book.

The Connection 2015 full length release (produced by Andy Shernoff  of The DICTATORS) should be out by summertime.

(The Connection in the Studio with Andy Shernoff)

Mono In Stereo full length release should be out summertime as well.

We will be releasing the CD version of the new Kurt Baker Band CD this summer/fall when it is ready for release.

Another new band Tom Baker & The Snakes are working on their Rum Bar debut.  Tom Baker is the frontman for Boston band The Dirty Truckers and he is working some great rock n roll tunes for a fall release and continuing work with Watts, ZGB, and Los Breakdowns.

Any information you want to share with the viewers on the blog.

LOU: I appreciate everyone's support of the label and our bands.  Keep in touch and hit me up any time!!!

THE UGLY BEATS “Brand New Day”

GET HIP Records released Brand new day, the fourth and latest full length record from the Ugly Beats! Following up on the success of MOTOR!, this hard working Texas garage band has come up with 12 new brilliant songs and there is a little bit for everyone here.

(check their record collection: they got it all good! :-))

Instant hard rockin’ classics (”Brand New Day,” “Up on the Sun,” “Throw Me a Line”), hook-laden power pop songs (”I Want That Girl,” “Gone for Good”), and folk-rock tracks reminiscent of the Byrds (”All of the Things,” “Braced for the Fall,” “Long Row”).

Also worth noticing, 2 covers: Tim Hardin’s “If I Were a Carpenter” and a revved-up cover of the Spanish folk-rock classic “Los Gusanos” originally done by Los Flecos.  

As always with the Ugly Beats, the songs are 60's influenced and yet refreshingly new and modern at the same time. Another amazing record from the Ugly Beats and an absolute must buy!

Shoes, the trailblazing guitar-pop combo from tiny Zion, Illinois who in the 1970s prefigured the home-recording DIY boom of the 90s and beyond released their first album of new material since 1994 on August 14, 2012. Ignition switches on with 15 fresh, vital tracks from Shoes three founding members and songwriters: bassist-vocalist John Murphy, guitarist-vocalist Jeff Murphy, and guitarist-vocalist Gary Klebe, plus longtime stage drummer John Richardson. Self-produced and released on the band s own Black Vinyl Records, Ignition not only carries on Shoes cult-heroic tradition of edibly tuneful, harmony-honeycombed guitar pop; it ventures intriguingly beyond those comfortable (though undeniably rewarding) borders as well. Altogether the work of seasoned, mature musicians whose singular trajectory as 100-percent self-taught, self-created recording artists has been outside-the-box since it began, Ignition showcases Shoes at their technical and artistic peak.

SEVEN LONG YEARS - A MOUTHFUL OF SHAME

The ever so brilliant SEVEN LONG YEARS returns with a new 7 TRACKS digital E.P oddly named A MOUTHFUL OF SHAME. 

Less fuzz and more folky rockers this time. Some tracks bring to mind the likes of The Byrds or the ALLAH-LAS. 

This time around you can even hear traces of some surf sounds on a creepy intrumental ("Dead Weight") reminisced of the VICE BARONS heydays.

"Fire in your Soul" is already a favorite of mine and it should be yours too!

12 Long Tall Sally
13 Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On
14 Down The Line

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg is not an album, it's a crime scene: Jerry Lee Lewis slaughters his rivals in a thirteen-song set that feels like one long convulsion. Recorded April 5th, 1964, this is the earliest and most feral of Lewis' concert releases from his wilderness years, after he was banished from the radio and after he had left Sun Records for Mercury, but before he humbled himself and switched to country. Live at the Star Club is not country, boogie, bop or blues but showdown rock & roll, with no survivors but the Killer.

Not that the rockabillies and piano pounders whose tunes he devours — Ray Charles ("What'd I Say"), Carl Perkins ("Matchbox"), Little Richard ("Good Golly, Miss Molly") and Elvis Presley ("Hound Dog") — thought of Lewis as their chief competition. But he did. The world at large seemed out to get him, and that was no position for the hardest-working ego in show business. Lewis was not going to just slide through his career doldrums. He wanted to show 'em all — those prigs who looked down their blue noses at his marriage to thirteen-year-old Myra Gayle Brown, those fools who thought Elvis was the King, those damned Brit invaders, even the angry God of his angrier fathers. No enemy could touch him onstage. Once Lewis launches into "Mean Woman Blues," the audience and his backing band, a vastly overmatched British group called the Nashville Teens, simply toast in the afterburners.   (review from rolling stones magazine)

Prima Donna - Vinyl Cuts & Other Pieces 
In wav - Scans are included

tracklisting :

Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley on a steady diet of punk and glitter rock, Prima Donna are infamous on the L.A. scene. Unlike many of their contemporaries, however, this foursome not only taps into early British Invasion rock-n-roll as translated by sax infused bands such as the Dave Clark Five, early Stooges and The Sonics, but they also put their own snarling, full throttle spin on it, leaving just enough L.A. sleaze in the mix to make it their own.
Their curriculum includes musical road trips with Eddie and the Hot Rods, Adam Ant, D-Generation and even Green Day, who they supported on two arena tours on two continents. Frontman Kevin Preston has also continued participation in Green Day side-project Foxboro Hot Tubs.

12. Back In The U.S.A

The Morlocks aren't some smoothed-out, swagged-out screw-ups toting stage passes and guitars; The Morlocks are a living, sleeping and breathing embodiment of the garage punk they've perfected and long performed. The music they create is the lifeblood of their cause, a cause which is as much a point of pride as a way of life. The scars, breaks and bruises earned along the way serve to magnify the only truth they know. Growing up fans of Chicago blues-rock legends like Howlin' Wolf and Bo Diddley, L.A.'s The Morlocks' shared love of all things related to Chess Records created a natural inspiration to pay homage to some of their musical heroes with their fourth long player. The resulting album: The Morlocks Play Chess!

Influences run the gamut from early `60s Brill Building songwriters and related East Coast Girl Group sound, a touch of Doo Wop, the sound of mid-`60s convertible top-down summertime Southern California and early `70s teenage AM radio Raspberry City Rollers flavored love-affairs. It is pure pop as seen through the eyes of the best decades of original rock `n' roll music with all the drive of late `70s punk powered `80s power pop. If you like TEEN MACHINE or the 2 first solo albums by Sylvain SYLVAIN, this will be right down your alley! The best pop album of 2011. No less.

Nothing but ...the Youth

THE YOUTH is a young Beat/Garage/R&B band from Copenhagen, Denmark including Jesper Agerbæk:  Guitar - Lasse Tarp: Guitar, vocals - Sune Christian Thomsen:  Drums and last but not least David Peter Jørgensen:  Bass, vocals.

Some people claim that they are influenced by Medway bands like The Masonics or The Milkshakes but as far as I'm concerned I hear much more the influences of Dutch 60's bands like Q65, The Motions or The Outsiders. And to prove my point, they deliver a very fine rendition of "That's your problem". And even if their sound is rooted in the past, it sounds totally fresh and contemporary!  Their debut cd/album, "Nothing But..." was recorded at Circo Perrotti Estudios, Gijón, Spain and released on Dirty Water Records last October.

You can purchase it here : http://theyouth.tictail.com/

The YOUTH will be touring Italy at the end of this month:

28.01.15 Gennaio-Edonè Club Bergamo, IT

Iris and the Deadly Flowers - What must a girl do

Once again, IRIS and her Dad, backed by the DEADLY FLOWERS are delivering the goods in spades. 

What must a girl do is a brilliant sixties rocker with a swirling organ riff. Five miles South of Mumbai on the other hand is an hypnotic and spatial instrumental close to krautrock. 

AMAZING.

Graham Day and The Forefathers - Good Things

Graham Day and The Forefathers - Good Things

Graham Day, Allan Crockford and Wolf Howard have been blasting out their muscular version of “Medway garage-rock” in various combinations over a period of more than 30 years, releasing dozens of albums between them. Graham and Allan were in The Prisoners (1982-86), before forming The Prime Movers with Wolf in 1988, releasing three albums before they split in 1993. The trio was re-united in 1999 as The Solarflares, releasing another five albums until once again calling it a day in 2004. 

The three re-united as a live band in 2013. The Forefathers formed around the idea that the time was right for rifling through the “Graham Day Songbook” and delivering a “best of...” set: stripped down live versions of the best of The Prisoners, The Prime Movers, The Solarflares and Graham's most recent band, The Gaolers. One might think that The Forefathers are essentially a “tribute act” – a tribute to themselves and their shared musical history. If that is true, they are the purest and best tribute act in existence – no one delivers a Graham Day song like Graham Day, Allan Crockford and Wolf Howard. 

After a debut single on State Records, here’s the album. "Good Things" packs six Solarflares’ tunes, three from The Prisoners, two from The Gaolers and one from The Prime Movers. Recorded in the back room of a mate’s print shop, using a couple of old mics, the backing tracks were bashed out in one take, raw ’n’ alive.

The vinyl, in glorious MONO, comes with a CD and a digital download. All formats for just one purchase!

THE CRY! "Dangerous game, US Edition"

THE CRY! "Dangerous game, US Edition"

The CRY! Is a five-piece Rock 'n' Roll band from Portland,  Oregon, founded in 2011, that manages to re-craft the 2 min. pop song for a new generation. The CRY! effortlessly merges 50's style vocal harmonies, the jangle of 60's pop hooks and the glam-rock attitude of the 70's with the raw punkish street emotions.

On March 1st, 2014 the CRY! released their 2nd studio LP "Dangerous Game" in Europe and Asia. Even before it's release the highly anticipated album has earned high-praise within the power-pop community and has garnered dozens of critical reviews.

In Oct. 2014 “Dangerous Game: US Edition” was released as the band’s first american offering. The record features 13 previously released tracks and one exclusive track: “Last Thing That I do.”

14 tracks of 100% pure Rock’N'Roll. If you're looking for 70’s power pop and punk combined with an authentic glam sound, this little gem is going to make your head spin and your feet stomping for weeks. All killers and no fillers, hooks a plenty and top-notch vocals, this is definitely in my top ten of 2014.
