NIGHT GALLERY - "Seven Song Demo" (1991)

 

I'm running out of tapes to share with you, and that's one of the reasons I'm not posting as much as I should, so I think it's time to start with some stuff that's even outside my known parameters, and to start with is this 1991 cassette I found on The Internet Archive Thanks to Sinclair87, by a band called

 Night Gallery.

 

We recently got an anonymous comment on our defunct Monster Movie Blog, and the person asked

"For year’s I've tried to find out who’s version of the song “You’re A Sweetheart” John Astin puts on the record player that wouldn’t stop was, but nobody seems to know, do you?!!"

Since Tabonga wrote that post I didn't have a copy of "Hell's Bells" so I started searching for one on The Internet Archive, but instead came up with this pretty cool tape by a band called Night Gallery.

So that's how I got here, and I still don't know whose song it was, maybe somebody like Charlie Davis and his Orchestra.

I can't find anything out about Night Gallery on Discogs, Tape-Mag, or Tape Attack, but the information on the tape itself shows that the members were Anastasia Paro - Vocals, Erick Smith - Bass, and Michael Smith - Guitar.

HEINZ KÜPPERS - "Marching Thoughts" (1988)

 

I never had any direct contact with Heinz Küppers, but I used one of his songs on my "Refried Dreams" cassette because I was in direct communication with Winnie Pickert who sent me a song by Heinz to be on that tape. I never knew much more about Heinz except I always dug the Hell out of this rollicking song!

HEINZ KÜPPERS - "Wolfgang"

 

 

So I started digging around a little while ago to see if Heinz was up to anything these days. There was only this one tape on Discogs, so I searched his name and found out Heinz has been pretty busy over the years, and not only that, his music is still cool as beans!

If you don't believe me then check out this video called "Lieben Und Kuessen" or "Love and Kisses" from twelve years ago. 810 views in 12 years for one of the coolest songs I've heard lately. Geez, gimme a break!

Turn It Up!!

 

This song rocks and just when you think it couldn't get any better, there's a very cool trombone solo. After you watch it you're going to want more, so head on over to Heinz's website.

 

Heinz even has an album made last year called "Hoffnung" that is available on Amazon! So if you think "Heinz" is just a brand of condiments, think again, because this Heinz is the real deal

HERMANOS GUZANOS - "Shut The Hell Up!" (2023)

 

I never intended for this blog to be a promotion of our own music, but this is what's happening right now, so this is what you get! We just released our third album on Bandcamp and I really like this one!

It's all instrumentals so I don't have to listen to my own rants!

"Shut The Hell Up!"

 

I can't even describe it myself, it's not rock, it's not jazz, it's just pure

Instrumentality!

And the art that accompanies each song by Gary Wray is superlative!

I mean, could you come up with a better vision of the Sleaze King than this?

 

This song cracks me up, and this picture is freakin' prefect for the occasion!

It's all about having fun!

 Hit it Boys!!

"The Worst Band In The Universe!"

JOHN BARTLES - "Sedative Amnesiate Putanesca..."

 

I'm so far behind that I didn't get much done this month, but I can always count on my pal John Bartles to come through, so here's another undated CD John released some time between 1990 and 2010 probably. The CD was titled "Sedative Amnesiate Putanesca" and on this particular song John is joined by P. Ruske on Drums, S. McLay on Bass, and A. McFarland playing Piano!

This song is a little different for John, and I probably should have saved it for Halloween, but...I think you'll dig it as much as you would digging a grave!

JOHN BARTLES - "Little Ghost Girl"

HERMANOS GUZANOS - "Son Of X-13" (2023)

 

I've really been slacking off this month, and here's just one of the reasons why! Gary put this album together of some of our stranger stuff and I'm going to publish it today on Bandcanp! 

It's titled "Son Of X-13,"

 and there's 25 Wild 'N' Weird Cuts From Beyond.

Beyond where, nobody is quite sure, but it's pretty far out there!

 

Here's what the original "X-13" tape looked like that we made in 1990.

Some of the songs from this tape are on the new album,but not too many.

 

 

Here's just a sample of what you'll be in for in you feel like going for a ride!

HERMANOS GUZANOS - "The Wind"

LORD LITTER'S Radio Shows!

 

Besides being a musician, Lord Litter has been a DJ for over 30 years, and his shows are just the best, and you can always count on a full hour of solid entertainment, you know, kinda the way radio was back in the 1970's. If you're not old enough to know what I'm talking about then listen to one of his current shows and you will be able to hear for yourself. Class A entertainment at your fingertips to enjoy whenever you want, and it doesn't cost anything. It's a pretty good deal if you ask me!

Lord Litter's Radio Shows On The Internet Archive!

 

Here's a short excerpt I made from one of his radio shows from the 80's just for fun!
