Phil Everly died recently, and his death emphasized a sad reality: every year, we lose more of the great musicians who made the music that changed the world in the '50s, '60s, and '70s. The American Rock n' Roll Oral History (A.R.R.O.H.) Project is an attempt to capture first hand, on audio and video, the living history of American Rock n' Roll.

In my 25 years as a broadcaster and podcaster, the shows that have had the most impact have been the episodes that featured musicians telling their own stories, relating the history of their old bands and long-lost 45s. While these stories all have certain elements in common, each one is unique. Through my regional rock n' roll history shows, "Florida Rocks Again!" and "Mal Thursday's Texas Tyme Machine," I have featured first-person narratives from such artists as Ray Charles, Roy Head, and Joe "King" Carrasco, as well as the true tales of '60s garage bands like The Nightcrawlers, We The People, and The Wig.

The A.R.R.O.H. Project  hopes to interview over 100 musicians from the rock n' roll era, individually and in groups, in 2014. Our $40,000 goal represents the minimum amount needed for a two-person crew to travel the highways, byways, and backwaters of this vast country for three months. Also, the budget will allow for stipends to be paid to local documentarians who may have easier access to a given subject. The end result will be a permanently archived collection of living testaments to rock n' roll told by the people who made the music.

Your donation will help to ensure that this vital oral history will be recorded for posterity, for future generations, and for the love of rock n' roll.

The Scoot Inn Summer of Soul: Clarence “Blowfly” Reid

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Scoot Inn Summer of Soul: Clarence “Blowfly” Reid

Austin, Texas (May 24, 2012) – The Scoot Inn Summer of Soul series continues Saturday night June 9^th, when legendary soul vocalist/producer/songwriter Clarence Reid brings both sides of his public persona to the Scoot Inn Bier Garten stage with a set of his '60s R&B hits followed by a full set of the funky, filthy rhymes of his alter ego, the one, the only, the legendary godfather of Hip Hop, Blowfly.

According to his Wikipedia entry, “as Blowfly, Reid has recorded numerous albums, mostly of sex-based parodies of other songs, as well as original raps themed around sex. Reid started off writing songs for artists including Betty Wright, Sam & Dave, Gwen McCrae, and KC & the Sunshine Band. He also recorded many songs of his own in the '60s and '70s including the hit ‘Nobody But You Babe.’

“Reid would write sexually explicit versions of current hit songs for fun, but only performed them for his friends at parties or in the studio. In 1971, he recorded a whole album of 'dirty' songs under the name Blowfly. At the time, no record label would release profane material so he distributed the records himself on his own independent record label, Weird World.”

This will be Blowfly’s first Austin appearance since his sold-out show at Emo’s during South by Southwest 2010, when Reid was in town to promote the internationally-acclaimed documentary The Weird World of Blowfly.

D-Madness Project opens the show at 9, with Subkulture Patriots playing the after-show set inside at 12:30 a.m. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. Presented by Mal Thursday, in association with The Scoot Inn, Atomic Jukebox, Black Media Council, Fleshlight, and Blowfly International.

The Scoot Inn Summer of Soul continues July 14^th with Texas soul legend Roy Head (“Treat Her Right”). The Scoot Inn is located at 1308 East Fourth Street in Austin.

The Malarians' 'Know' and 'Finished In This Town' Now Available at CD Baby

The Malarians' 1988 Know EP and the 1989 live recording Finished In This Town have been reissued in a deluxe digital and CD release at CD Baby. The mp3 album is available for download now ($4.95 for the five EP tracks, or $9.99 for all 20 tracks), with the CD due to be released on June 8th, just in time for the band's 2010 reunion tour of Route 9.

DOWNLOAD IT HERE

Following up the recent digital reissue of Massachusetts' garage kings The Malarians' 1986 LP In The Cool Room, here are 1988's blistering five-track vinyl EP Know and the equally feverish 1989 live recording Finished In This Town in a deluxe CD and digital package.

The Malarians' most successful release, Know features the band's classic line-up: Mal Thursday, Johnny Tomorrow, Bob Medley, Slater Awn, and Lime Ricky. The record went top 20 on the CMJ charts and sold out of its original pressing in weeks.

With only Thursday and Awn remaining, the Malarians made an attempt at replicating the MC5's "Kick Out the Jams" LP by recording the new line-up, featuring Mike Sewell of the Lonely Moans, Steve Healey of Wingtip Sloat, and Peter "Spec" McHugh, at their second-ever gig with a mobile truck at Springfield's Zone Art Center. Finished In This Town was given an abortive release in 1990, when the band broke up prior to the pressing of the CD. Only the Cassette was issued, in very limited quantities.

Together at last, The Malarians' Know/Finished In This Town 20th Anniversary Limited Edition CD from Chunk Archives.
Know produced by Sean Slade and Jim Fitting

Finished In This Town produced by Sean Slade and Mal Thursday
