Peel Details For April :
bob geldof's irish r & b/new wave rascals quickly made a media splash in the summer of 1977 andhelped by an appearance on marc bolan's cheesy tv show the single lookin' after number one became thefirst of a handful of chart hits. here's the second rats peel session, taped on 15/05/1978 in order to showcasetheir upcoming new album a tonic for the troops.
the irish folk masters De Dannan (originally Dé Danann) formed as a result of sessions in Hughes's Pub in An Spidéal, County Galway, naming themselves after the legendary Irish tribe, Tuatha Dé Danann.The group released their eponymous debut album Dé Danann in 1975. loved by peel, this sessionwas taopedsometime in january 1978. i have no further information on the other bbc sessions for uncle john - can anyone provideany?
Harvey's Rabbit were a five-piece band from Manchester formed in 1992.Tired of the process of recording demos, sending them off and being rejected, they decided to record an album, A Place For Beginners, releasing it (cassette only) on thier own Rain Soaked label. Around the same time they managed to get some dates supporting The Fall, no doubt it was this connection which led to the group coming to John Peel's attention and getting thier only session, which was put downon 23/07/1994. Harveys Rabbit went on to release another 3 singles and an album (The New Spiritual Vacuum) on Rotator before finally calling it a day in the Autumn of 1998; but in 2009 they played live together for the first time in 10 years.
The Molesters were a six-piece Punk combo from the Brighton area in 1977. Active mainly on the local live circuit, in mid-’78 the group recorded a demo tape which was sent to many labels and to John Peel who invited The Molesters to record a BBC session for his radio show on October 4: this is the session i present for you here, recorded on 04/10/1978.After a second session (January 1979) the band were finally signed by London’s premier indie label Small Wonder Records and a single, produced by Bill Sargeant, was issued late in April. The Molesters finally called it a day at the end of June 1979.
Liverpool's Monkey Steals The Drum were named after an African folk tale. A demo tape of their epic noise grabbed the attention of John Peel, who gave them a session. MSTD had their noses buried in the grunge textbook for their entire teenhood, but proved they were'nt another group trying to imitate the most basic of sounds. Instead they showed off the best aspects of the genre (Nirvana's angst, Lemonheads' melodies and Pixiesesque guitars) splashed with their own twisted identity . here's the first of two peel sessions, taped on 12/12/1992.
Reggae Regular were apparantly from Germany, and were first called The Regulars. this was the first of two sessions for our hero, immortalised on 12/06/1978.albums by the band include Victim (1979), I & I (1980) and Ghetto Rock (1984), which was partly recorded at ariwa studios and engineered by none other than the mad professor himself.
the american indie rock band rodan formed in Louisville, Kentucky in 1992. In 1993 they recorded a demo tape which saw limited release and six of these songs were re-recordedand released in 1994 as the album rusty. Rodan broke up in 1995 with the members cropping up in Retsin, June of 44,Rachel's, The Sonora Pine, and Shipping News. happilly they left behind a single peel session, recorded on 03/06/1994.
