NICK CAVE/SLICK RICK/TERRORBIRD/MIDNITE SNAKE/PLAYLIST/TOP 10

The MELVINS ruled last weekend at Slim's! Dale Crover did call the show from band practice somewhere in a L.A. bunker. Listen to it on my podcast of the show down below. Thanks alot Dale. Poison Idea and Antiseen tore it up as well at Thee Parkside. The weekend went well and its time for another.

Thursday night Mr. Nick Cave and his new project, GRINDERMAN will be playing at Great American Music Hall (I'll be attending that one) and Friday night at Slim's. Did you see them on Letterman this past Monday? David didn't even mention his name. Weird? Anyway, we here in San Francisco feel privileged because GRINDERMAN is only doing shows here, New York City and Chicago. He'll be back soon because he just finished up the new Bad Seeds album and also finished a script for a now in production movie called "Death of a Ladies' Man". Damn, he's a busy guy. Have you seen the movie, "The Proposition"? Totally sick and bloody! Speaking of Australia, go by THEE PARKSIDE for a Slick Rick Presents: Slick 46 (Melbourne, Australia), The Departed, Broken Oars and Stash Black. I wonder if Slick 46 likes Nick Cave? Uh, probably not. So, if you’re not going too see Mr. Cave and still want that Australia feel, go see SLICK 46 at Thee Parkside for some Punk Rock.

Saturday night is a double shot of shows. First, I'll be at Terrorbird One Year Anniversary Blow Out // Daly City Records Triple Ds Record Release Party! The party is being thrown at The Minna Gallery here in San Francisco. It’s been a year already for the music marketing company that specializes in non-commercial, college, satellite, select commercial specialty, and internet radio promotion that prides itself on a handpicked, amazing roster. Check out TERRORBIRD for more info. The anniversary also adds a release party for Daly City Records. Come on out and meet some of the coolest people in the biz. It’s open to the public so you don't have an excuse not to come.

Right after that party, I'll be heading back to Thee Parkside (yes I'm there all the time) to check out one bad ass band, MIDNITE SNAKE. The Pittsburgh trio includes one of the most under-rated drummers of our time, Paul Quattrone of Modey Lemon and guitar-God to some, Alexei Plotnicov. Midnite Snake gives a "shock & awe" psychedelic metal attack that makes Jimi Hendrix feel uncomfortable. It’s a FREE SHOW!! YES, FREE!! Come out and witness a band that will make sure you won't leave empty handed.

Make sure to check out the Dale Crover (fast forward the show to +11:45 minutes) interview and the rest of my radio show on my podcasts at THE THRASH ATTACK and THE NAKED ROB SHOW. I will not be on the air this week!

Thanks everybody for listening, sending music and supporting KSCU 103.3FM. Please, do not stop! Have your friends in other bands, labels, promo & marketing companies to send more music. As you know, I chart to CMJ every week, send my playlists out on a weekly basis, post everything on both my myspace profiles for the world too see and what's going with me, your bands, labels and the music scene here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Have a great weekend and ROCK OUT! CHEERS!

MELVINS/POISON IDEA/ANTISSEN/PANTHERS/PLAYLIST/TOP 10

This weekend, you can say it'll be historic for all of us living here in San Francisco and the surrounding area. Some top notch bands will be performing this Friday and Saturday and I know a lot of you wish to be here for it. I'm talking about the MELVINS (performing Houdini/Eggnog & Lysol in its entirety), POISON IDEA and ANTISEEN. These three bands as we know it have shaped the way we listen & perform music today.

The MELVINS of course changed many of our lives (especially mine) and have inspired so many bands to play or just to be obsessed with them. Being around for way over 20 years, The MELVINS will perform these albums in its entirety and some songs haven't been heard live or played in years. Doing the three albums in its entirety will take some of us back to the days of finding out what music meant to us and how we still appreciate it now. Both shows are sold out but, still show up and hang out. Who knows? Maybe you could get in. Note: Dale from the MELVINS may call in my radio show so listen for it. Who knows what he'll say and you may miss out on it.

The Kings of Punk, POISON IDEA from Portland, OR is a band that you either hate ’em or love ‘em. They started waaay back in 1980 and disbanded in 1993. Also with the departure of Pig Champion, no one thought they would ever come back. Now, they are back with a new release coming out soon on TKO Records and playing the same night of the MELVINS “Houdini” show. That means right after Melvins, I'm riding my bike five minutes away to Thee Parkside and catch a glimpse of the Kings of Punk.

The following day, the Hillbilly, Redneck, Wrestling Punkers, ANTISEEN will enter the ring at Thee Parkside for a night of washboards, blood, wrestling and some damn good PUNK! ANTISEEN comes from the dark woods of South Carolina. They have been around for over 20 years. They have recorded with the likes of notorious madman GG Allin and legendary Alice Cooper guitarist Michael Bruce. So, I'm going to do the same thing right after the MELVINS show and that's haul ass to Thee 'Darkside.

OH! I also interviewed Geoff, the bass player for the PANTHERS last week. They are going on a huge U.S. Tour with Coliseum, Mono (Japan) and from Oakland, HIGH ON FIRE! Check out the interview here:

PANTHERS INTERVIEW. Check it out, download it, stick it in iPod or do whatever you want with it but, just listen to it.

Thanks everybody for sending music to the station. Its so much appreciated! This year so far has probably been the best year for releases and tours. PLEASE DON'T STOP! Keep 'em coming and spread the word. Don't keep this to yourself. Spread the gospel on what I'm doing here and you may go to the good place when you die. HAHAHAHA!!

Don't forget, my radio show streams online at KSCU 103.3FM every Thursday 4TO7PM (PST). If you miss my radio show, don't worry your little heads off, I podcast my radio show here: THE THRASH ATTACK and THE NAKED ROB SHOW. oh yeah, I'll be at CMJ this coming October in NYC. Let's hook up! Have a great weekend, take care and be cool. CHEERS!
