Ron Stults of the Unrelated Segments 1949-2009

It's with a heavy heart that I must inform you of the passing of Ron Stults, who was the lead singer of the Unrelated Segments, the Detroit-area group that was one of the greatest garage bands of all time. In 1966 and 1967, the band released such gems as "Cry, Cry, Cry," "Where You Gonna Go?" (which I used to sing in the Malarians), "It's Gonna Rain," and "The Story of My Life" (hear it on The Mal Thursday Show #13).

The Mal Thursday Show #20: Heavy Hits

After ten consecutive theme shows, Mal Thursday is back on the free form tip with this, the 20th episode in the series. Free-form, yes, but with a concept: in addition to a full plate of new releases from the Sons of Hercules, Snowbyrd, the Rationals, the Higher State, and the Texreys, Mal unearths godlike heavy jams from Blue Cheer, the Litter, Rodriguez, and the Troggs, among other heavyweights.

A potent brew of Texas garage, Detroit hard rock, and other heavy sounds from all around the world. Presented in Living Monophonic Sound.

Florida Rocks Again! in the Pensacola News-Journal

Troy Moon has written a feature article in today's Pensacola News-Journal about the local music scene of the '60s, inspired by the most recent episode of Florida Rocks Again!, "Jeff's Panhandle Party Platter."

Pictured above is the Sandpipers, backed up by Daytona Beach legends the Allman Joys at the Sahara Club in 1966. Charlyne Kilpatrick of the Sandpipers remembers that the Allmans were "skinny and ugly."

Good stuff!

Ian McLagan & the Bump Band @ the Lucky Lounge, Austin 10/29

Fresh from the Faces reunion (minus the late, great Ronnie Lane and a certain lead singer), Ian McLagan returns to Austin for another great happy hour gig with the Bump Band at the Lucky Lounge, 6 to 8 pm Thursday October 29th and the following night at the Cactus Cafe.

I'll be at the Lucky show, as it's always one of my favorite gigs in town, and my wife gets to have me back home early (hopefully in time to watch Pedro vs. the Yanks). Hope to see you there.

Cheers!
