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. 

In this episode we welcome the delightful Kid Congo Powers, all the way from his home in Tucson, and ask him to talk about his former lives in the Gun Club, the Cramps and the Bad Seeds — as detailed in the riveting new memoir Some New Kind of Kick.The man born Brian Tristan looks back to his teen fanboy years from Frank Zappa to the New York Dolls, plus his memories of the L.A. glitter scene at Rodney's English Disco. He describes how it felt — as a gay Mexican American — to be a misfit among mainly white misfits on the punk scenes in L.A. and New York. He also explains how the Gun Club was conceived after he met Jeffrey Lee Pierce while queuing for a 1979 Pere Ubu show at the Whisky. We hear how Kid was then headhunted by the Cramps' Lux and Ivy, and what it was like to be part of their ghoulish B-movie aesthetic. We similarly learn how he was recruited (and "cast") as one of Nick Cave's drug-addled Bad Seeds in mid-'80s Berlin.From the decline and premature death of Jeffrey Lee Pierce — via Kid's own eventual long-term sobriety — we shift into the rarefied and erudite world of Brian Eno, an iconic glam influence on the young Brian Tristan. Clips from Mark Sinker's 1992 audio interview with pop's resident egghead are heard, leading in turn to discussion of Eno's collaborations with Robert Fripp and Toby Amies' remarkable new King Crimson documentary.Mark talks us through pieces about the Stones' 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' (1968), classic-blues septuagenarian Victoria Spivey(1975), the Police (1979) and Joe Bataan & Arthur Baker (1996) after which Jasper concludes the episode with quotes from pieces on bodyguard-to-the-stars Michael Francis (2003) and the "rise and rise" of Pharrell Williams (2015).Many thanks to special guest Kid Congo Powers; Some New Kind of Kick is available this week in all good bookshops.

SAN ONOFRE i Radiadores Viejos conjuran los demonios de Jeffrey Lee Pierce like a dagger from Hellmántica SAN ONOFRE seguimos viviendo de las rentas de nuestro reciente periplo triunfal por Hellmántica. Sí, la Hellmántica nos praestat (también en el sentido astur). Nos aliamos con el son of a preacher man an electrician charro (lo lleva in sanguem), el John Lurie from hell, el bueno de Pablo Livianos para ajustar las cuentas de la familia onofrita. No digan Vstedes que son Vstedes inocentes, es un insulto a nuestra inteligencia y eso no nos divierte. Diu el Irwin Chusid que si eres de Birmingham, Alabama, y no conoces a Sun Ra, se te debería caer la cara de vergüenza. Los del SAN ONOFRE no tenemos derecho a comer, almorzar, ni siquiera al aire que respiramos, copón. ¡Pues no llevamos casi cinco lvstros, cinco, cazcaleando en las jodidas ondas y aún no hemos dedicado un proama completo a The Gun Club! ¡Amos, anda, habráse visto semejantes mamarrachos! https://libritosjenkins.bigcartel.com/product/angloentrevistas-traducidas-de-san-onofre Onofrita biblia. ¡Últimas copias!

Terry Graham - Gun Club - part 2 - in conversation with David Eastaugh  The Gun Club were an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, United States, which existed from 1979 to 1996. Created and led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Jeffrey Lee Pierce, they were notable as one of the first bands in the punk rock subculture to incorporate influences from blues, rockabilly, and country music. The Gun Club has been called a "tribal psychobilly blues" band, as well as initiators of the punk blues sound and cowpunk - "He (Pierce) took Robert Johnson and pre-war acoustic blues and 'punkified' it. Up until then bands were drawing on Iggy & The Stooges and the New York Dolls but he took it back so much further for inspiration."

The Gun Club with Terry Graham - Part 1 - in conversation with David Eastaugh American drummer, started his career in the late 70's with The Bags, one of the first generation of punk rock bands to emerge out of Los Angeles, California; in the early 80's he joined The Gun Club. The Gun Club were an American rock band from Los Angeles, California, United States, which existed from 1979 to 1996. Created and led by singer-songwriter and guitarist Jeffrey Lee Pierce, they were notable as one of the first bands in the punk rock subculture to incorporate influences from blues, rockabilly, and country music.

Jeffrey Lee Pierce (June 27, 1958 – March 31, 1996) was an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and author, best remembered as the hard-living guitarist/singer frontman and one of the founding members of The Gun Club, a band that fused the fury of punk with the melodic structures and lyrical obsessions of the blues, creating their own brand of swampy, ramshackle, psychotic, blues- influenced music. This episode is a re-creation of a 1980 mixtape made by Jeffrey for Brad Dunning, the original drummer of The Gun Club. Lineup: Marvin Rainwater, Buck Griffin, Lonesome Lee, Mack Self, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Drifting Cowboys, Leo Kottke, The Rolling Stones, Big Bill Broonzy, Waylon Jennings, Bob Dylan, Johnny Horton, Conway Twitty, The Count Bishops, Slim Rhodes, Howlin' Wolf

Ralph and I explore the story behind one of the greatest American songwriters, Jeffrey Lee Pierce and the Gun Club.  Pierce may not be a household name for some of you, but his reach and influence has been profound in the realm of independent music.  If you enjoy X, The Cramps and Nick Cave, then the Gun Club is a band you should check out. But don't take our word, check out the Spotify playlist Ralph and I put together. Intro:     “Unholy Passion Theme” – composed and recorded by Mike Hill Outro:   “Moonlight Motel” – Gun Club

Multi-talented Howard Paar has been a primary rock'n'roll influencer for over four decades. His career in the music business evolved organically from his excellent taste in music. Starting out as an indie club promoter and deejay, he morphed into being a publicist before becoming an artist relations executive and award-winning music supervisor for film and television. He's worked with some of the biggest names in the biz, including The Clash, INXS, The Go-Go's, The English Beat, The Psychedelic Furs, Echo and The Bunnymen, Eric Burdon and Run DMC just to name a few. Born and raised in London, in the late 70's on a whim, he took off for Los Angeles, where he created the iconic, boundary-pushing indie venue The On Klub, booking emerging artists who played ska, soul, paisley underground, rockabilly, punk and hip hop; many went on to become wildly famous. In this episode, hostess Pleasant Gehman and Howard swap anecdotes about those crazy times in London and LA featuring Lydia Lunch, The Specials, Los Lobos, The Untouchables and shopping for X-rated reggae bootlegs with Jeffrey Lee Pierce. Howard is also an author; they discuss his books, the novel “Once Upon A Time In LA” and his newly-published “Top Rankin': A Punk/Ska Noir Novel” set in 1980's Los Angeles.

From James: I have a soft spot for bands that at their core started as best friends or brothers/sisters growing up together and playing music. Minutemen had D. Boon and Mike Watt, Devo had the Mothersbaugh and Casale brothers, and The Gun Club had Jeffrey Lee Pierce and Kid Congo Powers. Except in the case of The Gun Club this process was interrupted when Kid Congo joined The Cramps before they could record their first album, Fire of Love. This continued through their second album Miami, but then Kid came back for the third album, Las Vegas Story, which is my favorite. All of their albums are special, but I think the combination of Jeffrey Lee and Kid Congo on guitars and The Bags rhythm section of Patricia Morrison and Terry Graham was the best lineup they ever had. Also, for this album they moved past their blues/punk origins and ventured into new territory, stretching out artistically and making an amazing album in the process. Las Vegas Story is one of my favorite records of all time and an underdog even with Gun Club fans. I hope you enjoy the music and our music nerd discussion!Listen to the expanded version of the album here: Las Vegas Story by The Gun Club

Very few SoCal punk bands are legendary on the level that Jeffrey Lee Pierce’s Gun Club is. And of course, legends can be misleading. Pierce is known to come from El Monte, but his hometown was in fact South El Monte. Though he would say he was from Texas, like his mother. Questions about who Pierce really was were left without a direct answer when he died in 1996. Why did he pretend to be other people, like Chili Con Chola? Why did he stray so far from home, to London, Osaka, Berlin, and Cairo? Several documentaries have been made about the songwriter’s life. One movie focused on Pierce’s at times erratic behavior and strained relationships with bandmates, more so than his musicality. It's not flattering. Another narrative comes from the many bootleg records that have been released. Artwork gets changed, titles are mixed up, and people who have no ownership over the music make money off it. Yet there’s often a form of hero worship involved. In between these differing perspectives, are those who knew and loved him, flaws and all. Particularly, his sister Jacqui Pierce and her husband Johnny Faretra. They’re the custodians of his estate, rereleasing his work as he intended through Creeping Ritual Productions. This is the primary way they affect the telling of his story, more so than in liner notes or documentaries (though they’ve given a few interviews to Gun Club historian Ryan Leach). But they have insight into Pierce’s upbringing, and how his music has survived. Their memories provide an affectionate perspective that has lacked from much of the legend. That said, there’s no need to throw out the parts of Jeffrey that pissed people off. He sure didn’t. Rather, let’s include in our mental albums the impression he left on his sister - that of a seer of wisdom in others - so that we may hear his words and music in more detail.

This week we’re discussing the wild and influential Gun Club. Led by all around maniac Jeffrey Lee Pierce, the Gun Club pioneered a unique type of blues-inspired punk in the early 80s before releasing a handful of strong rock albums. Pierce, by all accounts, was a drugged up, rabid egomaniac who wailed like a legendary blues man, despite being tone deaf. Even still, the Gun Club released some wonderfully inventive and timeless albums. If Pierce’s vocals don’t scare you off, there is a lot to be had here.Closing track: “For the Love of Ivy” from Fire of Love (1981)Check out our episode playlists on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/user/motherpuncherincMike’s Picks:Fire of Love (1981) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteDivinity (1991) — Worst AlbumAlex’s Picks:Fire of Love (1981) — Best Album, Personal FavoriteDivinity (1991) — Worst AlbumPastoral Hide and Seek (1990) — Least FavoriteAlbums we discussed this episode…Fire of Love (1981)Miami (1982)Death Party EP (1983)The Las Vegas Story (1984)Mother Juno (1987)Pastoral Hide and Seek (1990)Divinity (1991)Lucky Jim (1993)Follow Mike on Instagram @popejesseventura for show updates and @pandermonkey for original musicFollow Alex on Instagram @motherpuncher

They came from LA with a sound like no other, scraping up remnants of roots music, blues, country and mixing it up and thrashing it out with a punk sound, everyone scratched their heads for over 30 years until generations of musicians discovered them. Jack White says their songs should be taught in Schools. Led by the insufferable but irrepressible wildest of frontmen and Elvis from hell, Jeffrey Lee Pierce, they carved out a niche in underground rock music and started a whole genre.

Jeffrey Lee Pierce and his band the Gun Club created a singular masterpiece in 1981, “Fire Of Love.” When we asked South Florida local and legendary musician Charlie Pickett if he wanted to come on the show, he said yes, and “Fire Of Love” was the first, second and third choice of what record he wanted to discuss. Both of us were very much on board with it, as the record still stands as a pure realization of an artist deeply committed to bringing the real sound of the late 20s delta blues into the vocabulary of rock, without filters.

This is a beatnik inspired spoken word piece I had written and recorded in 1983 after The Gun Club had gone on a wild tour of Australia, in the early 80's. I'm glad to have uncovered it. Dig. a description from a blog goes like this : "This is the followup record to English As A Second Language, released in 1984 and again featuring a huge amount of short tracks by L.A. artists, poets, punks and various lowbrow Hollywood fixtures. There’s lots of Henry Rollins and Chuck Dukowski, something from the late, great Jeffrey Lee Pierce and loads of L.A. poets. I dare say, at over one hundred tracks there’s probably something here for everyone, or something to offend everyone. Like the first compilation, much of this is unsafe for daytime radio or for the kiddies, unless they’re like my kids. All kinds of love, sex, death and dying and general testimonials of the human condition are contained herein." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kid/support

Punk rock resumes don’t get much better than Kid Congo Powers’. The Southern California-born musician has been playing music professional for nearly 40 years, since the then-president of the Ramones fanclub was recruited by Jeffrey Lee Pierce for the band that would soon become the Gun Club.Soon after, Powers was recruited by fellow punk rock weirdos, The Cramps as rhythm guitarist, staying with the band for two of their most influential records, Psychedelic Jungle and Smell of Female. After another multi-album stint with The Gun Club, the musician joined up with Nick Cave, recording two records as a member of The Bad Seeds. For the past decade, Powers has served as the front man for The Pink Monkey Birds, an amalgamations of decades of music influence, including the Southern California Chicano rock sound that helped ignite his love of music.  To celebrate the release of the band’s latest, La Araña Es La Vida, Powers sat down for a far reaching interview about his long and storied career.

Welcome to episode 30 of Love That Album: The Compilation Edition. This time around, Eric talks about the music of the hot American summer: country and blues. First up, Eric discusses a pair of tribute compilation albums dedicated to Waylon Jennings: “I’ve Always Been Crazy” and “Lonesome On’ry And Mean”. One features more mainstream country acts and the other, alt country artists and bunkers. If you are one of those people who thinks country music isn’t for you, Waylon might be a good entry point. From his early days as Buddy Holly’s bass player to the 70s outlaw country era, and then finally as a member of the supergroup The Highwaymen, Waylon left his mark on the landscape of popular music, and it’s easy to hear why so many artists stepped forward to cover his songs. Next, Eric explores a couple of volumes of The Jeffrey Lee Pierce Sessions Project where artists like Nick Cave, Iggy Pop, and Mark Lanegan have covered demos of unreleased Jeffrey Lee Pierce songs. For those unfamiliar with Pierce, he was a part of the early LA punk scene where his band, The Gun Club were pioneers of mixing punk and blues. While bands like X, The Cramps and The Minutemen have been embraced by the many in the music world, The Gun Club and Pierce remain one of the last truly underground / cult artists of the period who wait for greater acceptance.
