Demo Feature 

TOMB MOLD are a death metal band made up of punk kids. They have been around since 2016 or earlier. Payson from Capitol Death, Purity Control, Farang is in the band. Derrick and Max were also in Purity Control so I think this is a development out of their work there. They have a cassette that came out last year called “Aperture of Body” that we are going to feature tonight. Fans of death metal will love this.

I learned from a friend at work that Dave Greenfield of the Stranglers had died from COVID-19 on May 3rd. One of the first casualties of COVID-19 in the punk scene. So I thought we could do a bit of a tribute to Dave Greenfield, the keyboard player for the Stranglers. Hugh Cornwell tweeted that “Dave was the difference between the Stranglers and every other punk band.” His Wikipedia bio describes his trademark style of rapid arpeggios. He was often likened to Ray Manzarek of the DOORS. “No More Heroes” was one of the first songs that I had heard and has been my pogoing anthem through life. In tribute to Dave Greenfield’s passing here is a set showcasing Dave Greenfield’s work in the Stranglers.

THE STRANGLERS - No More Heroes (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS - Dead Ringer (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS - Hanging Around (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS – Duchess (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS – Genetix (United Artists)
THE STRANGLERS - Golden Brown (Liberty)

Dead Ringer is also on “No More Heroes” and is a song that Dave Greenfield sung vocals on.

The live version of Hanging Around was recorded at the Horsehoe Tavern on April 14th, 1978 and is song that demonstrates Dave Greenfield’s versatility as a keyboard player.

“Duchess” was next from “The Raven “ LP.

“Genetix” is also found on “The Raven” and this song was pulled out specifically as an example where Greenfield used a Korg VC-10 vocoder to accompany is own vocal with a unique effect.

“Golden Brown” was a song originally written for “MeninBlack” the band’s first concept album. It was written by Greenfield in a waltz time and eventually appeared on “Le Folie” becoming the band’s biggest hit.

Okay so I know this is a punk show but we are going to get a bit deeper on the electronic edge because another significant passing Florian Schneider, a founding member of KRAFTWERK, passed away from cancer on April 21st, 2020, but his death was just announced on May 6th. The founding members originally met at the Academy of Arts in Remcheid in 1968 forming a couple of improvisational bands ORGANIZATION and then PISSOFF which would evolve into KRAFTWERK, which means “Power Plant” in German. Florian played flute which he would combine with electronics and eventually invented an electronic flute. Schneider was interested in sound design (being referred to as a sound fetishist) and fits in with how the band viewed themselves as sound chemists. Florian also combined vocoding with speech synthesis to patent the implementation of something known as robovox. In 1997 the NY Times referred to KRAFTWERK as the Beatles of electronic music with many accolades coming from so many artists as diverse as David Bowie and Afrika Bambaataa. We’re gonna start out this feature with “Airwaves” from their 1975 release “Radio-Activity”.

KRAFTWERK - Airwaves (Kling Klang / Hor Zu / EMI Electrola)
KRAFTWERK - The Model (Capitol)
KRAFTWERK - Pocket Calculator (EMI)
KRAFTWERK - House Phone (EMI)
KRAFTWERK - Tour de France (EMI)

“Airwaves” was taken from their 1975 release “Radio-Activity” and a lot of this material could form the basis for a sci fi score.

“The Model” came from the 1977 release “The Man Machine”

“Pocket Calculator” was probably the first big hit here in North America as the song would get regular airplay on CFNY and came out on the 1981 release “Computer World”.

“House Phone” came from their 1986 release “Electric Café”.

“Tour de France” was Kraftwerks biggest breakout hit but was actually inspired by the band’s love for cycling. They would do interviews where they would just talk about cycling and this song was written as a soundtrack for their cycling pursuits.
