Subvert

Welcome to Episode 44 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! Since it was -20 today, I decided to stay home and put a show together, with some local Lincoln NE bands and some rare stuff out of my record collection. Sit back and enjoy the show during this Arctic blast!

I put a a bunch of new local music on today, like Sputnik Kaputnik, which is kind of like Devo and weird, 70s LA stuff I've heard. There's some Powers on the show, and go see them Wednesday night at Duffy's for the New Year's Eve show. I also put on some King Thumper, Once a Pawn, and Halfwit.

There's a track from a weird single I found, with Keith Levene and Hillel Slovak on one side, and Kendra Smith on the other. If you don't know who those people are, I can't help you! I also have the new Chain and the Gang record, "Minimum Rock and Roll"; a My Bloody Valentine release that was supposed to be the famed "post-Loveless" album, put out by a German label; and this great Ann Arbor band The State, whose E.P. was mixed by Ron Asheton.

The playlist is: Sputnik Kaputnik, Powers, Once a Pawn, King Thumper, The Seen, Savages, Halfwit, Red Cities, Cheetahs, Jet Black, Kendra Smith, Flying Saucer Attack, My Bloody Valentine, Dream Syndicate, Vivian Girls, Broncho, Dum Dum Girls, Pack A.D., Kinski, Producers of the Word, Chain and the Gang, The State, Heroin, Rocket from the Crypt, The Sinners, Fugazi, and B-Boys.

The show is 95 minutes.

Thanks for tuning in, and see you in 2015!

Modern Peasant Records - Resistance is Feudal

Modern Peasant Records



Welcome to Episode 43 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! Today the show is dedicated to Modern Peasant Records, a Norman OK-based punk, garage, and stoner rock label. The label was started by Robert and Nate from The Putters back in 2010 to put out The Putters annual jam session/recording sessions in Ellensburg, where Nate lives. Then is morphed into a music publishing platform for Robert and Nate's "whore bands," or bands that were not The Putters, like Zombie vs. Shark and The 667s. Then it just became more like a community-based record label for friends of Robert and Nate, taking on bands like John Wayne's Bitches, Red Cities, and The Sinners. It's motto is "Resistance is Feudal," and it's basically aimed to put out all the rad music that the crappy, major record industry won't publish, and that is local in nature. All good indie music is local, so that is where MPR's work is concentrated. To date, Modern Peasant Records has put out 13 releases, with more in the future from Norman/Chickasha band Bite Me! and some other stuff on the horizon.

So be sure to support your local record labels and its bands! You can learn more about Modern Peasant Records and order records from: www.modernpeasantrecords.com
