Three Shows and One Really Long Blogdate
Hello wuoggers, I am Dylan (aka DJ Friedmann *Tha Jewela*) and I will be updating this blog for most of the summer. I appreciate the opportunity to baby sit this show while Will is in Italy. Hopefully I can keep the output up at the same level of quality. On with the blogdate!

Aussie Industrial group Severed Heads with their single “Dead Eyes Opened” off of the album Since The Accident. Gaining a significant cult following in Euro dance clubs, Severed Heads would start a world tour shortly after the album’s release, taking with them local video producer Stephen Jones who would incorporate similar multimedia effects into their shows.
Also: A special tribute to Fred Cole, who since 1964 has released a prodigious assortment of albums in genres ranging from Garage Rock to Country. After being promised an opening gig in San Fransisco’s Filmore for the Yardbirds but then denied at the door, Cole and then current band The Weeds would take their van up towards Canada, fed up with the music industry and hoping to avoid a draft call from the oncoming war. As legend goes, their van would brake down outside of Portland. It would be there that Cole would meet his future wife and bassist Toody Conner. Together they would run a local record store while producing some great west coast punk records under the monikers King Bee (who would open for The Ramones), The Rats, and Dead Moon. Today, Fred and Toody Cole still play as Pierced Arrows with drummer Kelly Haliburton.
