The Nomads - Virus 1999
I've always been shocked that The Nomads aren't one of the biggest bands in the world. They surely have the songs & the performing chops, to stand along side any platinum selling arena rockers going in the last 30 years. They even had a ton of support from the music establishment, with folks like Peter Case, Jeffery Lee Peirce & Scott McCaughey all penning tunes for them. They also had guests like Johnny Thunders, Joey Ramone & Handsome Dick Manitoba appear on their records. Yet they remain mostly a band know to only the most die hard rock fans, outside of their home of Sweden. In a perfect world, the two songs in this clip would be million selling hits, but instead we live in a world rules by morons who would rather listen to music resembling an off balanced washing machine.
The first song "I've Seen Better" comes from their "Big Sound 2000" album, while the second song "(I'm) Out Of It" (co-written by McCaughey) is from quite possibly their best album "Powerstrip".
Little know fact: The Art Production on their 1996 EP "The Cold Hard Facts of Life" was done by (a then unknown) Neko Case!

The Dictators - Irving Plaza Feb 7th, 1981
July 26th 2010 marks the 34th anniversary of the first time The Dictators took the stage at CBGB's. While I have yet to find footage of that monumental event, I present you here the next best thing, The 'Tators ripping it up at Irving Plaza in the winter of 1981.
These 7 songs were filmed at one of the string of reunion gigs the guys did that year, just a few days before the performance that would be released by ROIR as "Fuck Em If They Can't Take a Joke
" (and later as "Live - New York New York
"). They play with a fire that makes one wonder what might have been if the band hadn't called it quits three year earlier.Thankfully, the last decade has seen them return to playing on a semi-regular basis, including the release of the excellent "D.F.F.D.
" album and the live document "Viva Dictators
".You can download the m4v file here. Those of you on slow connections, or who don't wish to download larger files can view it on Youtube in 3 parts. (Part 1 Part 2 Part 3)
Billy Childish at Annandale Hotel in Sydney Dec 6th, 2005
Here's some fine audience shot footage of Billy Childish & the Musicians Of The British Empire. The gig was billed as a Buff Medways show, but the lineup here is the same as the MBE. I've always found it hard to keep track of whatever name Billy is using for his current trio, especially since he tends to draw from his entire catalog no mater what band he's with.
Here he plays (Thee Mighty Caesars') Lie Detector, (The Buff Medways') Unable To See The Good and (Thee Headcoats') Girl From '62.
MonkeyBeat 46: If I Could Only Remember My Name....
It's an odds & sods show this week, as I toss tunes that have been laying around into a pot to make a menudo for your ears. I also do my usual bit of bitching and complaining, question if there is more than one HeWhoCannotBeNamed, talk about better podcasts you should be listening to, and continually lose my train of thought and setlist.

Real Kids - Outta Place
I was looking through some old DVDs I've had kicking around an found this choice clip from The Real Kids performing "Outta Place" back in November 1982 on the old Boston TV show "5 All Nite Live". Not sure where I originally found it, but I couldn't find it posted anywhere on the old internets so I uploaded it myself.
Enjoy.
