6 O'Clock Rock Report - 1978

Marc Weisblott send me this link over.  It's pretty awesome.  Classic Bob Mackowycz.  (With Mark Daley & John Donabie) and a review of the Teenage Head "Destroy all Monsters" concert at the Horseshoe. 

The show is from 6pm, Friday June 2nd. 1978.

Madness takes its toll.  Please have exact change.

Re: 6 O'Clock Rock Report - 1978

Great find and nice to hear all those voices again. Bob M's show from around this time I believe it was called Sunday Performance was a must listen.. A mix of Punk, New Wave and oldies. New Wave and Punk made singles cool again. Still have my copy of Picture My Face by Teenage Head which is is played on this clip. I generally preferred the guitar driven new wave to the synth orientated sounds.

Teenage Head got their name from a Flamin' Groovies song and you can hear the inspiration in their music.

Around the same time as this clip. I heard Teenage Head and the Ramones on different episodes. of a show on CFNY. Sunday night before Listener's Choice where it was the stars choice. Both The Ramones and Teenage Head played some Beach Boys. Teenage Head played a song by the Ramones that I had not heard before and it took me until the You Tube age to finally find it.
