Interview with Bob Bert drummer from Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, and Lydia Lunch!   After seeing the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan show as an eight-year-old, he took drum lessons for one year at age twelve and learned enough to bang along to the Rolling Stones and garage-punk nuggets of the 60's (Cue up the Barbarians' "Are You A Boy Or Are You A Girl"). Bob became desperate to get out of the hell of his Catholic grade school. “In my town, which was 11 miles outside New York City, we had two types of kids, the rah rahs (jocks) and the hoods (greasers).   The hoods were mainly in the public school, and I gravitated towards the hoods mainly for the style; black leather jackets and girls that looked like the Shangri-Las and the Ronettes. I told my mom I would drop out if she didn't take me out of Catholic School!” One day Bob got called out of class by the principal who slapped his face back and forth saying "why would you ever want to go to public school?!”. (cue up "Mississippi Queen,” Quaalude Interlude", and "Oink Oink"). In high school Bob drifted away from drumming and headed towards Pop Art, Andy Warhol being a big influence. He got into Glam Rock hitting the NYC clubs to see the New York Dolls, Harlots of 42nd Street, Wayne County and the Backstreet Boys etc. He discovered CBGBs in 1975, when he wandered into a Television / Patti Smith double bill. He took classes at SVA and learned how to silk screen. He moved into Manhattan in 1978 and became a fine art silkscreen printer, eventually working for Warhol up until his death. (Cue up the Velvet Underground's " Foggy Notion" and the Modern Lovers' "Pablo Picasso"). In 1979, Bert saw an ad in the Village Voice soliciting “Punk Rock art,” submitted a piece which was accepted for a group show at the Nonson Gallery on Wooster Street, much to his delight. The opening was a gas, the whole downtown scene was in full effect.   Joey Ramone's piece was a toothbrush with red paint on it glued to the ceiling entitled "Bloody Gums.” Daniel Rey's Shrapnel performed in the back and someone drove a motorcycle through the front door! It was at Nonson that Bob met artist Linda Wolfe. In 1981, Bob and Linda moved to Hoboken, living a block away from the famed club, Maxwell's where Bob would spend half of his life seeing great shows and making tons of friends. In 1981 while hanging at a different club, he got up on stage making a racket with Peter Missing and Jeff Holiday (RIP). “We became the band Drunk Driving causing trouble most of the time we played. We were banned from Maxwells after Peter put his upside-down martini glass graffitti, which he became well known for when he formed his next band Missing Foundation, on the newly painted wall.” After about seven months, Bert saw a flier that Sonic Youth needed a drummer. Bob took the flyer which he still has and joined in 1982. As it turns out he was the only one to call. After his tenure with them, he joined Pussy Galore, staying with them from the mid-80's through the end of the decade. Bob's new album bob-bert

"Beach Bongo Bloodbath" Bob Bert's Beach Bongo Bloodbath might be the most alliterative album title of the year, but it also happens to also be one of the year's very best. Before we get to Beach Bongo Bloodbath, let me give you a little Bob Bert Backstory. The alliteration with Bob is seemingly unavoidable. Influenced by the Beatles, the Stones, Andy Warhol and the band's that packed CBGB's, the New Jersey-born Bob Bert started drumming as a kid, but put it down for a while and became a fine art silkscreen printer who, speaking of Mr. Warhol, had a job printing paintings and print editions for the legendary artist. Bert moved from New York City to Hoboken in '81 and perhaps it was the close proximity of the club Maxwell's or the characters that played there that Bert picked up the sticks again and found himself playing drums for Sonic Youth, Pussy Galore, and the Chrome Cranks. Bob's autobiography I'm Just The Drummer tells his story far better than I can, but good luck finding it--it's out of print, so you're stuck with me for the time being to fill in the gaps. Over the course of his career, Bert has recorded and toured with Bewitched, Action Swingers, Chrome Cranks, Knoxville Girls, Five Dollar Priest, Lydia Lunch Retrovirus and Jon Spencer & the HITmakers and in the early 90s he and Linda Wolfe started the awesome fanzine BB gun. Which brings just to Beach Bongo Bloodbath. A joyful sprint of a record that clocks in at under a half hour and has no guitars or bass, Beach Bongo Bloodbath is smoldering collection of covers and originals that's filled with swagger, groove and delicious percussive stomp. From his take on tracks by everyone from the Modern Lovers to Mountain to his electrifying originals, Beach Bongo Bloodbath is impossibly cool--and so is Bob Bert. www.bar-none.com (http://www.bar-none.com) IG: @therealbobbert www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers: IG + THREADS + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Today's guest has made a career playing with some of the most avant garde musicians in the world. But he didn't start off with music in mind. Welcome drummer Bob Bert to the podcast. He grew up in a house that wasn't super musical. In fact, his father, Angelo, was more into sports than music. He was so into sports that he won the Heisman trophy in 1943. But Bob had other ideas. Bob played some drums but was more interested in fine art, eventually printing for Andy Warhol. His music career began when his wife volunteered him for an impromptu gig. Bob talks about how he got the Sonic Youth gig, was fired, and then rehired. He talks about some other projects he was in and how Thurston Moore named one of them. Bob discusses his time in Pussy Galore, Chrome Cranks, Jon Spencer & The Hitmakers, Lydia Lunch's Retrovirus, and more. Bob has released his first true solo album called Beach Bongo Bloodbath. And the consensus is…it's a fun album. It's a mix of covers and originals and highlights Bob's singular take on music, like his guitar-free version of Mountain's Mississippi Queen. It's out on Bar None Records. Find it, buy, it, stream it, whatever you need to do. And follow Bob @therealbobbert on Instagram.

bob Bert in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://therealbobbert.bandcamp.com/album/beach-bongo-bloodbath Many music gourmandizers know the name “Bob Bert” from his stint as drummer for Sonic Youth in their formative years. He also beat car gas tanks for Pussy Galore. In the years since, Bob has recorded albums and toured the world with Bewitched, Action Swingers, Chrome Cranks, Knoxville Girls, Five Dollar Priest, and in more recent times Lydia Lunch Retrovirus, coming full circle playing metal percussion with fellow Pussy Galore alumnus Jon Spencer in his HITmakers.  With Beach Bongo Bloodbath Bob finally steps out under his own name with his first true solo album. For this outing he mixes original material with extensive re-workings of a number of covers to create a veritable soundtrack for the B-movie of his life.  Surprisingly for a guy who has slammed away for some very noisy guitar outfits, this album has absolutely NO guitars; once you hear his beat-centric take on Mountain's "Mississippi Queen," you will never hear that song the same way again. Bob creates a new world of sound utilizing a variety of drums and percussion as well as a diverse array of keyboards and theremin. The results suggest Sandy Nelson playing with the Flying Lizards on their greatest hits collection of Kraut Rock influenced Cramps covers!  The six originals and eight covers play to his love of campy teenage horror flicks, art damaged punk fuk-u-ness and Warholian underground groover vibes. In fact, let's cue up some tracks from the album to help tell the Bob Bert story.

Bob Bert in conversation with David Eastaugh Based in Hoboken, New Jersey, Bert initially came to prominence as drummer for the experimental rock band Sonic Youth during the early to mid-1980s. Bert played on the Sonic Youth releases Confusion Is Sex, Sonic Death, and Bad Moon Rising. After Bad Moon Rising, Bert quit the group. Bert contributed during the last half of the 1980s as percussionist for noise band Pussy Galore.  In the early 1990s, Bert drummed for the Chrome Cranks (which also included Peter Aaron on vocals; Jerry Teel on bass; and William Weber on stun guitar). After the dissolution of the Cranks, Bert joined forces with guitarist Kid Congo, guitarist Jack Martin, bassist/vocalist Jerry Teel and organist Barry London in the rootsy New York City band Knoxville Girls.

The Dolls Pod season 1 finale is dedicated to a real rock-and-roll legend: artist, “recovering groupie,” and beloved Chicagoan Cynthia Plaster Caster.

Welcome to the final episode of Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions' 2022 season. We saved a great one for the finale: Kid Congo Powers. Born Brian Tristan in La Puente, California, he eventually adopted the stage name which appears on the cover of Some New Kind of Kick, a new memoir that documents his time in The Cramps, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and The Gun Club, with whom he's credited for “excessive feedback, guitar and slide guitar, whirling whirlies, maracas and ancient mutterings.” And that's not all it covers. Kid's story is a layered one. The book, written with Chris Campion, gets into all of it, including frank examinations of queer identity, struggles with addiction, and his connection to the late Jeffrey Lee Pierce—who's dream visit inspired his 2020 Pink Monkey Birds Latin psych epic “He Walked In.”  At once hilarious, tender, and possessing an almost dreamlike spiritual quality, it's a great read. And it arrives alongside two new records: Summer Forever and Ever, the second album by Wolfmanhattan Project, his trio with Mick Collins of The Dirtbombs and Gories and Bob Bert, formerly of Sonic Youth, and Kid Congo Powers and The Near Death Experience Live in St. Kilda, a live concert taped in Australia. Both will be out physically in 2023—but you can listen to them digitally now. Or rather, after you finish this conversation between host Jason P. Woodbury and Kid, fellow Arizonans. Thanks so much for listening to Transmissions. Our 2022 season closes with this episode. We'll be back in early 2023, keep your eyes on Aquarium Drunkard for more info and check out the Patreon for bonus content we'll be sharing over the next couple months. This season of Transmissions is concluded. 

This week, drummer Kevin Shea drops by for a chat.  He has been filling in for Bob Bert in Retrovirus as Bob is on hiatus drumming for Jon Spencer. Kevin is a great drummer who has played with Talibam!, Mostly Other People Do the Killing, Bar Shea Dahl, Storm and Stress, Rhys Chatham, Sexy Thoughts, American Liberty League and many many other bands.  

Bob Bert was part of a stellar generation that got to see the likes of The Talking Heads, The Cramps, The Gun Club, Ramones, just to name a few, come up in the mid/late 70s New York. Bert witnessed some of the most influential bands, but also participated in some of the most influential bands of his generation. That being Sonic Youth in the early/mid 80's. I can honestly say without a shred of doubt, that Sonic Youth are one of my favorite groups, so the honor and privilege to speak to this legend was simply mind blowing! After Sonic Youth, Bert went on to participate in groups such as Pussy Galore, Bewitched, Chrome Cranks and Lydia Lunch. As of late, Bert has been in playing in Lydia Lunch Retrovirus and has recently written a novel!

Bob Bert became a drummer by accident. Originally he was an artist who studied painting and screen printing at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. After a couple of drinks at a club in Hoboken, his late wife Linda yelled out his name, when the band that was about to play announced they were looking for a drummer. His first band was Drunk Driving. Bob came to prominence as drummer for Sonic Youth during the early to mid-1980s. Bert played on the Sonic Youth releases Confusion Is Sex, Sonic Death, and Bad Moon Rising.  After leaving Sonic Youth, Bob replaced John Hammill as the drummer for Pussy Galore. In the early 1990s, Bob drummed for the Chrome Cranks. After the dissolution of the Chrome Cranks, Bert joined forces with guitarist Kid Congo Powers, guitarist Jack Martin, Jerry Teel and Barry London in the New York City band Knoxville Girls. Bob continues to work with Kid Congo Powers. They are currently in the band Wolfmanhattan Project along with Mick Collins. Their new album Blue Gene Stew was just released. During the late 1990s, Bert and his wife, artist Linda Wolfe, began publishing BBGun magazine. Bob handled the photography and interviews, and Linda handled the layout and advertising. During his chat with Lydia and Tim, Bob mentions how Richard Hell and Vincent Gallo were the only interview subjects that edited their own interviews. Bob is now playing with Retrovirus with Lydia, Tim and Weasel Walter, and with John Spencer and the Hitmakers. Aside from the new Wolfmanhattan project album, Bob also has a book out. The title is I'm Just the Drummer. The book is a compendium of all the photos and interviews Bob has done during his long career.

Live From The Barrage

Tune in for a big, big, bigger than big, episode of Arts & Seizures featuring Mike Edison in studio with superstars Peter Zaremba, Keith Streng, and Bob Bert!

In this bonus mini-episode, Bob Bert talks about the No-Wave scene; the legacy of Sonic Youth's classic album, Bad Moon Rising; and his relationship with his successor in the band, Steve Shelley.

Bob Bert first gained notoriety as the drummer on Sonic Youth's early records. Next, he played with Jon Spencer in Pussy Galore, and he currently works with Lydia Lunch in Retrovirus. He talks to Joe about how he discovered punk and no wave, how his background in visual art informed his musical concept, and he describes the difficult experience of caring for his dying wife.

This week on Arts & Seizures, host Mike Edison and guest co-host Bob Bert welcome Erin Norris to the show. Notably, Bob is a past member of Sonic Youth and currently plays with Lydia Lunch, while Erin is the owner of the Red Hook restaurant Grindhaus. Telling Mike of the journey to open the restaurant (it was set to open just before Hurricane Sandy hit), she also shares that prior to her restaurant opening she worked in a very different type of service industry. A former dominatrix with a SoHo dungeon, she shares that hung up her S&M gear more than a decade. She goes on to give the guys the details on what to expect from Grindhaus plus a lot more! This program was brought to you by Roberta’s Pizza.

This week on Arts & Seizures, host Mike Edison is kicking off 2015 with co-host Peter Zaremba of The Fleshtones welcoming guests, post punk superstars Ivan Julian and Bob Bert. Opening the show with the guys catching up with one another, Mike checks in with the projects that each are working on at the moment before getting into a discussion on the state of the music business today and how it’s a hard place to crack with the influx of home recording technology. Ivan and Bert perform a few acoustic sets in studio and share where listeners can catch them playing around the city. After the break, Mike gets the inside scoop on playing CBGBs from Ivan and his past recording experiences and closes out the show with Peter promising more shenanigans in store for next week.
