Velkommen til oliekriseåret 1973, hvor Richard Nixon indtager det Hvide Hus, og Alice Cooper hærger de amerikanske koncertscener og hitlister med chok, rock og horror. Herhjemme betyder oliekrisen bilfrie søndage, og i stedet kommer støjen fra bands som Slade og "Cum On Feel The Noise", Nazareth og Black Sabbath, som endda komponerer blandt genfærd, mens danske Midnight Sun sætter "Kul På". Så, tag med os tilbage til heavyåret '73, der nok var fattig på olie, men ikke på tung rockenergi! Som altid er vi i selskab med studievært Jens "Jam" Rasmussen og vores formidable gæste duo, Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen. Nedslagspunkter: - Alice Cooper går til tops med "Billion Dollar Babies", mens bandet imploderer indefra. - De fire new yorkere i Wicked Lester inspireres stort af Alice Cooper og bliver til... KISS. - Aerosmith debuterer, de transvestit klædte The New York Dolls lancerer deres præ-punk/glam og Iggy & The Stooges udviser frenetisk rå kraft. - Det amerikanske band Grand Funk hylder den søde, søde Connie, mens texanske ZZ Tops' hyldest til øldrikkerne inspirerer Lemmy i England. - Looooovende lyde på den nye britiske rockscene: Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest og Queen. - T-Rex hitter fortsat, og inspirerer blandt andre de senere Def Leppard- medlemmer i Sheffield. - Glad rock'n'roll til en krisetid fra Slade, Nazareth og Geordie med en ung Brian Johnson i front, syv år før AC/DC. - Led Zeppelin på amerikansk monsterturné og en musikalsk tur rundt i både funk, pop og reggae. - Uriah Heep.sanger David Byron med nok en solid blåkopi til den senere King Diamond. - Hollandske Golden Earrings "Radar Love" hitter hos både Kim Bendix Petersen og Michael Trampenau. - I KB Hallen er Lars Ulrich til sin første Deep Purple-koncert, og dagen efter køber han sin første heavy rock plade. - Black Sabbath indlogerer sig på et 1700-tals slot, hvor den gamle slotsherre optråder som genfærd, og hvor bandet vender tilbage til den tunge, okkulte stemning på "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath". - Lars Ulrich får "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" i julegave, og hører "Kul På" med Midnight Sun. Hav en fornøjelig tur tilbage til 1973, og på snarligt genhør i det næste afsnit fra 1974, som udsendes om 14 dage! Idé, tilrettelæggelse og research: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen Produktion: Jan Eriksen

   Closer to My Home” is the long-awaited, new album from legendary guitarist and singer/songwriter Mark Farner. Bridging past and present, the grit of industry and the calloused hard work of a rural man,“ Closer to My Home” champions Farner's multi-faceted artistry.     “The songs on the Closer to My Home are honest and from my heart,” Farner said.  “The collaboration with Jim (Peterik) and Mark (Slaughter) came from a place of trust and that makes the whole experience so much more rewarding as songwriters. The audience can feel that and these songs reflect those very human moments that you can't find creating a song from a computer.”     ‘Closer to My Home' comes from the idea that love is at the heart of all that I do, and music is my home.” As one of the founding members, lead singer, lead guitarist, and wrote more than 90% of the Grand Funk music catalog, Farner has always been known as the energetic driving force on stage, the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top. ‘Anymore' is the latest single released, Here is one passage:     “In the beginning it was me and my band It's sad to say, that we don't play together anymore It's not the quantity, it's the honesty my friends The story ends, and I'm not angry with ‘em anymore.” “Love keep on shinnin', shinnin' on me.” Markfarner.com – to download the “Closer to my home” album and the single, “Anymore.” Also you can learn more about Mark's upcoming tour dates.

Efter vores første to-delte afsnit fra fødselsåret 1970 er vi fremme ved det gode år 1971, som blev et særdeles interessant inspirationsår for mange metalmusikere og rockfans, blandt andre vores faste gæste duo, Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen. Nedslagspunkter: - Med "Fireball" laver Deep Purple forarbejdet til noget, der ligner speed metal. og rammer lige i øregangene på Steffen, Michael og knægten Lars Ulrich. - David Byron og Uriah Heep leverer falset-inspiration til teenagedrengen Kim Bendix Petersen. - Jethro Tull inspirerer Michael, og får Steffen til at sige noget flabet om Tony Iommi (hvor er den gule breaking news bjælke, når man skal bruge den!?) - Led Zeppelin laver en album klassiker, genopdager 50'er rock'n'roll, og lader John Bonham banke ekstrahårdt til gryderne, noterer Michael. - Black Sabbath's tredje album, "Master of Reality": På højde med det højeste, mener Steffen. Ikke kun i bandkataloget, men i hele rockhistorien. - Moses fra Esbjerg byder på et af Danmarks første heavy rock albums, og med en vis inspiration fra Black Sabbath. - Grand Funk og Budgie tænder også ilden hos den unge Kim Bendix. - The MC5 besørger Motörheads senere eksistens. - Marc Bolan og T-Rex introducerer glam rock, og optegner måske et spor til melodisk hard rock? Steffen Jungersen var ikke T-Rex fan, men han anskaffede deres plader af smålumre grunde. - Alice Coopers gennembrud, både kommercielt og kunstnerisk. Lyt endelig med, og vær klar igen til det næste program, Afsnit 3: 1972, som udsendes om cirka 14 dage! Idé, tilrettelæggelse og research: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen Produktion: Jan Eriksen

Det handlede meget om Black Sabbath dengang i 1970. Det handler fortsat meget om Black Sabbath i disse februardage i 2025, men det er så en anden historie. Men, der var en masse andre gode, tunge bands og heavy rock pionerplader i det herrens første heavy år 1970, som vi gennemgår i denne anden del af vort første afsnit om heavy metal-genrens fødsel. Igen sammen med vores kære, kyndige gæster, Steffen Jungersen og Michael Stützer Hansen. I “Afsnit 1. 1970: Den smertefulde fødsel - del II” har vi blandt andet følgende nedslagspunkter: - Deep Purples nye “mark II” line-up lægger et gedigent grundfundament med albummet “In Rock”. - Den tidlige tunge lyd hos Uriah Heep, Grand Funk, Mountain og The Doors (!) - Den rå rocknerve hos MC5, The Stooges og Alice Cooper - Den første danske præ-heavy kommer via den hårde blues rock og det psykedeliske power format hos Blues Addicts nord for København, Cinderella i Randers, Terje, Jesper og Joachim i Esbjerg og hos Pan i hovedstaden - Heavy metal-ordet tages i anvendelse af amerikanske anmeldere, mens “beton rock” (den danske betegnelse) bliver genstand for både ørefigner, forståelse og ivrig debat. - Den følsomme side af beton rocken: Purple, Heep, Sabbath (ja, selvfølgelig sniger de sig også med ind i dette afsnit). - Led Zeppelin bliver klodens største rockband, laver akustisk folk rock og en metaforisk slagsang for heavy rockens indtog anno fødselsåret 1970. Stor tak til Jungersen og Stützer, til producer Jan Eriksen og POV Mediano Music, for at facilitere denne 50 minutters tunge heavy-snak fra fødselsåret ‘70!

Så byder vi velkommen til anden del af prologen til "Det Tunge Stedbarn - heavy metal genrens fødsel". En lydfortælling i elleve afsnit - fra undfangelsen af heavy metal i sen-60'erne til genrens fødsel og omflakkende opvækst i 70'erne. I denne del II af vores prolog, går vi tæt på den sidste del af 60'erne, hvor det for alvor begyndte at lyde hårdt og tungt i garagerne og klubberne i Michigan og Californien, over London og Birmingham, til Københavns Vestegn. Vi kommer omkring de mere hårdt rockede anslag, der lød i årene 1967, 1968 og 1969, lige ved indgangen til heavy metals fødselsår, 1970. Blandt andet med følgende nedslagspunkter: - Michigan rocker massivt med Grand Funk, MC5, Iggy og the Stooges og Alice Cooper - Engelske Arthur Brown introducerer maskering og ild i håret - Chicagos Coven præsenterer okkultisme og sangtitlen "Black Sabbath" - Efteråret 1969: Hippieutopien topper og braser sammen - Californiske Steppenwolf serverer os "heavy metal" ordet - "Easy Rider" filmens ærinde og motorcyklens symbolik - En snak om motorcykelkultur, arbejderklasse og musikpræferencer - 1968: Amerikanske anmeldere anvender "heavy metal" ordet - Tony Iommi mister et par af sine fingerled, men reddes af en handicappet sigøjnerguitarist - Birmingham-bandet Earth hygger sig med blues rock - Led Zeppelin bliver til efter deres debutaften i Gladsaxe og Brøndby - Deep Purple debuterer i Tåstrup og optræder på en P-plads i Mørkhøj - Earth inspireres af skrækfilm og bliver til... Black Sabbath Som gæst i studiet har vi igen den navnkundige Kim Kofod, kendt som "Rockuglen", der oplevede de før-metalliske bevægelser, da de skete i sen-60'erne. Stort tak til Kim, til producer Jan Eriksen og POV Mediano Music for at facilitere - i denne omgang knapt en time og tre kvarters præ-heavy snak og masser af fed musik, værsgo' og lyt! Idé, tilrettelæggelse og research: Jens "Jam" Rasmussen Produktion: Jan Eriksen, som beklager, at lyden ikke fungerer optimalt. Det skyldes en programfejl, som er ændret, så de næste episoder lyder, som de skal.

I vores podcast serie "Det tunge stedbarn: Heavy metal-genrens fødsel" fortælles om heavy metal.genrens fødsel i 1970, og genrens udvikling op gennem 70'erne: èt afsnit for hvert metal-år 1970 til 1979. Men hvem og hvad blev heavy metal- og hård rock-pionerer som Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin og Deep Purple selv inspireret af? Hvordan udviklede rockmusikken sig i en hårdere retning? I den første af to dele af vores prolog, fortæller vi om populærmusikkens udvikling fra den tidlige rock'n'roll i 50'erne, over den britiske bølge i start- og midt-60'erne og den danske pigtråds-scene i samme periode, frem til psykedelisk beatmusik og hård blues rock i power trio-formatet. Som gæst i programmet har vi Kim Kofod (f. 1947), bedre kendt som “Rockuglen”, der er en essentiel figur på den danske metal scene, hvor hans pladebutik Rockuglen var en institution i hovedstadens metal-miljø fra omkring 1983 og cirka 33 år frem - også som pladeselskab og koncertarrangør. Kim er en af de eneste nulevende personer, der dedikeret har været med hele vejen - fra start-60'er pigtrådsmusikken, hvor han selv spillede i band og oplevede The Beatles live i KB Hallen, over ungdomsoprørets hippie beat i sen-60'erne, den politiske rock i 70'erne, og frem til alskens metal-subgenrer i 80'erne, 90'erne og fremefter. Vi kommer blandt andet ind på: – Chuck Berry og Link Wray, som sætter tingene i gang i 50'erne – Hårdhedens hierarki: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones og The Pretty Things – Pigtråd som ungdommens udtryk og skældsord for forældrene – Overgangen fra pigtråd til beat til psykedelisk rock – Skillelinjen: The Who og Jimi Hendrix går amok, Cream blæser salen omkuld – Blue Cheer skruer op og opfinder “heavy” – Grand Funk åbner porten til masse-publikummet POVcasten om heavy metal-genrens fødsel er godt i gang, og vi er på vej til selve undfangelsen i anden del af prologen!

As one of the founding members, lead singer, lead guitarist, and wrote more than 90% of the Grand Funk music catalog, Farner has always been known as the energetic driving force on stage, the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts.

Jeremy Clark of Tracer Heights was in the house for Episode No. 128, and dang it if it isn't always refreshing to chat with a fellow Phishhead.Trust me: I'm not trying to pigeonhole Jeremy or say that that's all there is to say about him. There's a ton more. Rare is the opportunity, though.Anyway...Jeremy's a son and a brother and a bandmate and one heck of a sharp dude; I really enjoyed getting to know him a little bit. We talked a fair amount about Tracer Heights, what they're all about, and what his role as the bassist looks like. We also talked about a few of Jeremy's favorite albums. Those were these:Pet Sounds (1966), The Beach BoysNine Inch Nails' Broken (1992)Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness (1995), The Smashing PumpkinsThe Flaming Lips' The Soft Bulletin (1999)Person Pitch (2007), Panda BearSo, please check out our conversation. These chats are almost always awesome; this one was no exception. And please check out Tracer Heights. Find out more about them at tracerheights.com, on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Bandcamp. They're rock, blues, and bluegrass with the spirit of psychedelic improvisational music, and they're gigging often here in K.C.copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the audio samples contained within this episode. They are cuts from a track called, "Grand Funk," by Jackie Mittoo from his 1971 effort, Wishbone (c/o Light in the Attic Records).

The guys pop the mailbag open and make apologies, salute librarians, and geek out about Grand Funk.

In 1969, Mark Farner, along with Don Brewer (drums and vocals) and Mel Schacher (bass), formed the band Grand Funk Railroad.  They quickly gained recognition for their energetic, bluesy rock sound.  The band's name was a play on words, inspired by the Grand Trunk Western Railroad that ran through their hometown of Flint, Michigan.  Grand Funk Railroad achieved massive success in the early 1970s. Their music was characterized by a blend of rock, funk, and blues.  The band released a series of hit albums, including "On Time" (1969), "Grand Funk" (1970), "Closer to Home" (1970), and "E Pluribus Funk" (1971). These albums produced chart-topping singles such as "We're an American Band" and "Some Kind of Wonderful.”  Known for their high-energy live performances, Grand Funk Railroad played to large crowds and set attendance records, including a legendary performance at the Shea Stadium in New York City.  Their music resonated with the counterculture of the time and made them one of the most popular and commercially successful rock bands of the era.  In 1972, Mark Farner left Grand Funk Railroad due to creative and contractual disputes.  He embarked on a solo career, releasing albums like "Mark Farner" (1977) and "No Frills" (1978). He continued to tour and record as a solo artist while Grand Funk Railroad continued with a modified lineup.  Grand Funk Railroad reunited in various lineups over the years, with Mark Farner rejoining the band for several reunions.  Their music continued to be celebrated, and they received numerous accolades and honours for their contributions to rock music.  Farner's guitar work and powerful vocals remained iconic in the world of rock. Some 50 years later something magical still happens when Farner takes the stage.  His voice is still strong and on key, his guitar playing still slick and lighting quick, and his trademark prancing still commands the stage and mesmerizes his audiences around the world. “I love playing live where I can connect with people of all backgrounds,” he said. “ It's all about the fans…and all about love.” Mark is also known for his philanthropic work and his strong Christian faith, which has been a central part of his life.  This week MARK FARNER joins us to share his story and incredible music. To learn more about Mark head for his website https://markfarner.com/ To connect with me with feedback or a request for a future guest on the show, send me a message through my website https://abreathoffreshair.com.au/ I hope you enjoy Mark Farner's story.

This week the lads hop across the pond to do some more excavation of denim and leather… Well, sort of… While it's sort of about the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, we instead visit France, USA, Canada, Japan, and Germany! The NWOBM movement was filled with passionate bands from Great Britain that were poised to take over the world. Most of the A-listers like: Iron Maiden, Saxon, and Def Leppard went on to major success, but bands from around the globe were inspired and aspired to carry the torch of heavy metal in the early 80s. Hopefully, we can help spread the word and sounds for those that didn't quite make it to the same level.What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This week we discuss the LOST. From the music, to the fashion, to the attitude… 40-years ago these bands started an underground movement that would change hard rock and metal globally forever.Songs this week include:Riot – “Hard Lovin' Man” from Restless Breed (1982)Trust – “In The Name Of The Race” from Repression (1980)Loudness – “Loudness” from The Birthday Eve (1981) Manilla Road – “Far Side Of The Sun” from Metal (1982)Exciter – “Heavy Metal Maniac” from Heavy Metal Maniac (1983)Grave Digger – “Heavy Metal Breakdown” from Heavy Metal Breakdown (1984)Cirith Ungol – “Frost And Fire” from Frost And Fire (1981)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/inobscuria/og-shopCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

Don Brewer is a founding member of the legendary Grand Funk Railroad. He talks with us about how the band got signed from blowing out a guest spot at the Atlanta International Pop Festival in 1969, plus shares some great rock stories. We'll also get into the 2023 tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of We're An American Band and the incredible talents with Grand Funk today.Lou Van Dora was an original member of Rex. With a multi-album major label record deal, rock's top management behind them, and opening for the biggest names in the business, they were being groomed to be the next Aerosmith.  They even made it to the stage at Madison Square Gardens, but something at that show led to the band's breakup. Lou shares some great stories of how Rex almost made it to the highest level. Our regular features Covers, Liner Notes, and Hidden Gems, have some great info and tracks for you.Our producer/editor is Jane Jones.Intro courtesy of Diane Williamson, the worldwide voice of OnStar and Intercontinental Hotels
