The Slickee Boys
The Slickee Boys were a Washington, D.C. area punk rock, punk-psychedelic rock, psychedelic-garage rock band whose most-remembered lineup consisted of guitarist Marshall Keith, guitarist Kim Kane, singer Mark Noone and drummer Dan Palenski. The group was named after a G.I. (military), GI slang term for the rockabilly-inspired Korean street toughs who sold black market goods to American soldiers.Mark Andersen, Andersen, Mark; Jenkins, Mark (Soft Skull Press, 2001).

Rough Trade Records
Rough Trade Records is an independent record label based in London, England. It was formed in 1976 by Geoff Travis who had opened a record store off Ladbroke Grove. Having successfully promoted and sold records by punk rock and early post-punk and indie pop bands such as the Normal and Desperate Bicycles, Travis began to manage acts and distribute bands such as Scritti Politti and began the label, which was informed by left-wing politics and structured as a co-operative. Soon after, Rough Trade also set up a distribution arm that serviced independent retail outlets across Britain, a network that became known as the Cartel. In 1983, Rough Trade signed the Smiths. Interest and investment of major labels in the UK indie scene in the late 1980s, as well as overtrading on behalf of Rough Trade's distribution wing, led to cash flow problems, and eventually to bankruptcy, forcing the label into receivership. However, Travis resurrected the label in the late 1990s, finding success w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Best Of Limp (…Rest Of Limp)
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things already mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with pronouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of pronoun ''thee'') when followed by a v ...

Live At Last (Slickee Boys Album)
''Live at Last'' is a live album by The Slickee Boys. It was released in April 1989 on the New Rose label (ROSE 169) on LP and CD; in the US it came out on Giant (on LP and cassette, catalog number GRI6037). Coinciding with the release of their album '' Fashionably Late'', in May 1988 the band embarked on a brief tour of Europe.

The CD version of this album contain two extra tracks, "Your Autumn Eyes" and "(Are You Gonna Be There at The) Love-In". They perform songs from all but the earliest part of their (at that point) twelve-year career, including the band's last original song (which had not been released at the time of the show), "This Party Sucks". Cover versions include songs originally by the French punk band the Dogs, the Status Quo, the Afrika Korps, and The Chocolate Watch Band. Not long after their European tour, founding member Kim Kane departed to focus on his other band, Date Bait. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fashionably Late (The Slickee Boys Album)
Washington D.C.'s Slickee Boys' fourth and final "proper" album (not including compilations or live releases), ''Fashionably Late'' was released (on LP and CD) in early 1988 by the French New Rose label. That summer, they toured Europe (documented on their '' Live at Last'' album); soon afterwards, founding member Kim Kane departed to focus on his newer band, Date Bait. After a few more years of live shows, the Slickee Boys called it quits (reunion shows have taken place more or less annually since the early 1990s). The song "Your Autumn Eyes", which was released as a single during the summer of 1987 (the same version which appears on the album), was quite a departure for the band—a melancholy waltz-time ballad with an intense bridge/guitar solo. Most of the rest of the album, however, was what fans had come to expect from the band. Along with original songs written by members of the band, there are two cover songs: "You Can Run" was originally released by D.C.'s (The) Ra ...

10th Anniversary EP
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
