From beautiful downtown Merryfield in the Shadow of the Mosaic District, it's the Ready Kilowatt Hour on Radio Fairfax. Tonight we say happy birthday to Sir Paul McCartney and hit on some classics from the offspring, the Ting Tings, and Julian Coke, plus new tunes from Power Plant, Modest Mouse, Violet Roll, Irish singer Alpha Reddy, and Nara's Room, plus lots more. Tonight we open up with a band that's continued to fly under the radar for 47 years. From New York City, it's the Bush Tetras. From 1980, this is Too Many Creeps don't want to go.

SPEAKER_00 11:42

Off their latest album, Bridge of Sacrifice, we heard Transactions, a London quartet led by Ukrainian Theo Zerkariev. Doing a tour of Scandinavia this month, and they'll be playing a couple festivals in the US in September, on the 11th in Austin, Texas at the Levitation Fest, and on the 25th in Memphis at the Honor Fest, and my sense is there won't be any levitation at that point. Before that, the offspring come out and play! Keep 'em separated. The album Smash from 1994. That was their third album. Offspring from Garden Grove, California, touring Europe and North America this summer. Handfall. And if you want to see them in Kazakhstan, they are playing at the Park Live Palmatti on August 23rd. And they'll also be in Asbury Park, New Jersey on September 20th at the Sea Here Now Festival. Voice Tetras opened up with Too Many Creeps after 1980 album Wild Things. Voice Tetras from New York City. They're still together after all these years. They've had at least 14 people who've been in the band. But Cynthia Slay and Placer, two of the original members, still in the band after 47 years, still making appearances in the New York area and elsewhere. But of course not in Kazakhstan. I think Voice Tetras in the offspring would make a hell of a bill, though. That's actually Polish. We have a brand new album right now that we're playing from a Portland, Oregon band. You may have heard of them. They're called Modest Mouse. Their latest album is An Eraser and a Maze. It's their eighth album and their first one in five years. We're gonna hear Picking Dragons Pockets.

SPEAKER_11 16:02

I said that the town out of the came up from the bottom of the door to try to go to but you did not know. Final lease in the wind, fresh clothes on dirty skin, the means to meet no ends again. Watch the show. Well pretty tricky little animal. I ain't a pasture now. I ain't your pasture now. I'm just equipment. We've been in the home. We've been in a young. We've been in a home.

SPEAKER_10 19:18

So long since I saw it from a car across the street. You looked happy with soon face. And on her body shared coffee. And solid is to see that was that she's supposed to be.

SPEAKER_02 21:57

Oh son jump at the sea. That old giddy a pitch free. Did you find yourself? Were you all your own? Did you bang the drum on your way back home?

I'm not like a hero, way down in the basement. But you woke up today with a look in your eyes. It's gonna be all right. When your wings catch fire, when you crash a crow, we stay across with the lesson love. Yes, I can wonder how it all goes. Everything is going your way. Oh yeah. What you thought you would say. Your trouble come and take it all. Live it to forget and forget. Save for living like I was already dead.

SPEAKER_00 26:08

That's Degler. Zachary Degler and his band come from Boise, Idaho, and we heard The Devil What a Lemon. Like it was like Idaho and Oregon. Before that, already doing that girl. And the album called it. Lovely Irish finger. Before that, Modest Mouth. That album dedicated to their drummer Jeremiah Green, who died of cancer in 2023. Fingerizing Rock, now the only original member of the band.

She's also known as Claire Kika, who sings both in English and French. Her parents are Korean and French, so of course she lives in LA, so why not? The song that she did with Window, and her latest album called Angie, and was also available on her EP called Lepto. Before that, Violet Roll. Who was her new album with her debut record Be Sweet to Me. And no, that's not her dad, Dave playing drums on that track. Dave apparently has stayed clear of the studio so Violet can do her thing. Which he definitely has, but you know, she's got some of the same influences as her dad, who by the way grew up here in Springfield, Virginia. Violet Roll was in DC a couple weeks ago and is coming back to the area. She'll be in Baltimore on June 23rd, next Tuesday, at the Nevermore Music Hall. We started out with Metric doing Dead Disco of Old World Underground, Where Are You Now from the year 2003, that song, and the band also appeared in a 2004 French film called Queen that was featured that year at the Cannes Film Festival. Right now, Metric is touring with broken social scenes and stars on a tour that they call All the Feelings. They're making it to DC on August 1st at the anthem. The new album that Metric has out now is called Romanticized the Dive. And you're listening to the already kilowatt hour on Radio Fairfax. Julian Cope from 1987. This is World.
