I've been a fan of the 415 label for many years and Romeo Void definitely released one of the best new wave albums ever on the label. I've long thought they would be much more highly regarded if they were from anywhere but San Francisco.

.

It's a Condition (Romeo Void's first album) and Wire Train's in a chamber (also that band's first album) are American new wave classics, if you ask me. Another band on the label that I really like is Translator. They were more of a Feelies/R.E.M.-influenced jangle band, and even though I wouldn't call any of their albums flat out classics, they were still consistent as hell.

And again, if the label had been based in any other major US city besides SF, they would have been taken much more seriously in the long run.

If life is stupendous one cannot also demand that it should be easy. - Robert Musil

Of course, don't expect a fat 70's groove but more of a sharp, stiff and jagged funkiness.

Minutemen-Viet nam (1984):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5LKJid28xA
(BTW, this album-"Double nickels on the dime"-is highly recommended with several somewhat funky songs on there; SICK rhythm-section; bassist Mike Watt is a legend but their drummer George Hurley was arguably the best musician)

Tar Babies-More Salt (1987):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZKklgYqlYI (this band was much better than RHCP in the same era IMO but the latter obviously "won"; anyway, Tar Babies later stuff sounded even more "funk-rock" but their earlier, more punky stuff is better IMO)

Big Boys-Funk Off: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU6YX4P4SH8 (this band was one of the first "eclectic" US hardcore/punk bands)

And of course, you have a lot of the british post-punk stuff like Gang Of four and Pop Group and A certain Ratio and so on if it counts. Gang of Four's second album "Solid Gold" is a banger if you can handle the dour vocals which I can: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXZJMrXuX4w

And then you have a lot of the No wave stuff like James Chance/Contortions, Bush Tetras and even ESG and Liquid Liquid if they count as punk (debatable to me): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63t_egLuo1A

Basically, lots of stuff in that era, I need to sleep now but I can link some other shit tomorrow...

This is exactly what i'm looking for...thanks!!!

I never quite liked that album as much as I feel like I'm supposed to... maybe it's b/c my intro to them came via the first fIREHOSE record (ragin' full on) which I still prefer (possibly b/c of ed fromohio's acoustic bent, though I think it's more than that).

But Ragin'... still presents some things along that somewhat funky vibe as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9cC_OZZMNM utilizes straight chicken-scratch guitar chording, just sped way the hell up.

I still ride for The Stick Men, Philadelphia's answer to that sound. Not much from them online but this live clip from 1983 is pretty great: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvn2COUBRx8 (Funky Hayride, the middle song, was a classic from just prior to my high school years, already well past the Stick Men era).

Yes, that song is cool and it has a fitting title since the guitarplaying sounds straight out of Meat Puppets fabulous "Up on the sun"-record (their best IMO, "II" is the "important" classic and great but "Up on the sun" is just WOW-they grew SO much as musicians while still maintaining some punkiness, at least in energy) with a mixture of "funky" guitars and jangle and even something that vaguely reminds me of highlife or something.

Buckethead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJfmWSzjx40

Animal Kingdom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQkR2eGJBTk

The rest of the album isn't particularly funky but more a sort of neo-folk/psych/Grateful Dead/jangle/Talking Heads-hybrid or something (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2074dMBRtdg )

Anyway, fabulous record-check it out if you haven't heard it; this "instrumental" (they wistle) is majestic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFlO0I3asb4 Smiths/Johnny Marr-eat your heart out; *this* is the peak of 80's jangle... And the simple riff @ 2.05? wow...

As for Minutemen vs. firehose, I personally prefer Minutemen, probably because they sounded more "post-hardcore" with the intensity and aggression whereas firehose was a bit more "college rock"/"80's alternative". Their debut is still a very good album though and MUCH better than the last Minutemen-album "3-way tie for last" which doesn't do anything for me...

Yeah, this has the No wave vibe to the core. I don't think I've heard them before even if I recognize the name (I might confuse them with Stickmen with Rayguns)-sounds cool minus the "rapping"! Need to check them out, I have (well, *had*) this compulsive need to hear "every" reasonably notable 80's US underground band...

I borrowed my brother's copy of their compilation reissue. Don't think I've ever seen it otherwise.

my other favorite Philly band from that period was SCRAM, also nominally punk but more reggae than funky. (and not to be confused with an apparent proto-hair-metal band of the same name.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCd7AEZnvtk

if you want more, this guy http://freedomhasnobounds.com/?cat=13 has their whole catalog up for streaming.


As for Meat Puppets, one of those bands I've never explored the way I really need to sometime. I've heard bits and snatches of II and I have the exceedingly mediocre 'Too High to Die' album. Maybe I'll place an Amazon order soon.

because they sound like Perry Farrell fronting the Chili Peppers here.

There is definitely some similarities in the voice but the theatrical, pretentious shtick from Farell as well as some of his more annoying vocal-tics are missing here; Tar Babies sound more like your typical hardcore vocalist trying to semi-rap or something.

As for RHCP, songs like this is definitely in the same vein as what they were doing then but Tar Babies music as a whole (well, on this record; they would kind of go more funk-rock later) were much more eclectic and overall more rooted in a general US post-hardcore/SST aesthetic as opposed to a full-on funk-rock sound even if they had several songs in that vein as evidenced by this one.

he sounds like a slightly less high-register Perry on a Idiots Rule or Standing In The Shower Thinking to me here.

no wonder damn near everybody is a moron.

let's just redefine everything.

Paul Simon is Japanese Ghetto Techo.

Dolly Parton is Swamp Boogie.

Neil Sedaka is a turnt up Trap Star.

Wow...see. This article...is another whole post...but fuck it...I don't want to talk about "Arcade Fire" anywhere...but since they've been billed "funky punk"...yeah.

You will NEVER see a Black artist get this kind of gaping wide spread eagle come hither praise for experimenting (not when the album drops at least)..."furious congas"?...jesus fucking christ.

This is part two of the "Daft Punk Is Magical Because They Made A Chic Record".
Well because none of these smart phone clowns barely know who Chic is...but they do blow, it matters.

But do a cover story on Nile Rodgers? Won't see it.

Chris Blackwell shows up in this article? Really?

This hacks get the "Canonball Run" treatment, license to appropriate whatever the fuck they want and it's okay for the writer to deem west now east and south now north east.

Rock and Roll music journalism is just as much responsible for people being idiots than the schittpantsed baby bird thrillseekers.


s.blak
Oh but they (not Arcade Fire) wear motor oil on their faces and dress up as slaves...huh? Read that schitt.

keep: looking,searching,seeking,finding

You could probably make a *triangle* sound furious in the context of an Arcade Fire-album...

the spin is just soooooo...."Talking Heads" *shivers*

"snort/chortle* We got congas, maaaan. COOOOOnGUUUHZ *snort/chortle*

Hey...I wonder who the new "IT" band is gonna be this quarter?

Lagwagon, in general, utilizes strong Funk undertones and Jazz-harmonic-aeshetics in a lot of their shit. The average punker might not catch it, but if you're an exponent of Punk that also happens to be an exponent of Funk and Jazz, you can immediately hear the influence.
