TOUCH ME HOOKER - LIVE DEMO'S LINK

TOUCH ME HOOKER
Boston 1991
This music was a direct response to the current Hollywood scene at the time. Word of the Glamour Punks, Babydolls, Zeros etc.. had spread, and four kids from Boston wanted to take this music nation wide.
Internal struggle within the group would end this quest in less than a year. The core members of the band would head west to Hollywood, playing parts in the formation of the bands Astro Vamps, Sister Morphine, Tragedy, Never on Sunday and eventually heading home to Boston to reform as Stars Underground. Singer, Pink stayed in Boston and now fronts the band Biopop.
These Demo's were recorded Live to D.A.T. in 1991 by Chris Johnson, he would also head for the greener pastiers of Hollywood. Working with and producing the band Slamhound for years, and most recently producing the Josh Todd solo CD.

Cheers mate. Now THIS is my cup of tea! Great shit!

Had some problems with yousendit.com and certificates etc, but finally downloaded it.

Can't believe I had never heard of this band before (Well, up until you signed up at glitzinet that is) and I am HUGE fan of glam.

Again, killer stuff!

Shit you know what this reminds me of?

The Sex Pistols getting drunk with Sigue Sigue Sputnik and Wrathchild UK whilst pissing all over the walls of the Ramones' old rehearsal room. (Ramones ROCK!!!!).

Fucking fantastic!

<font size="4" face="Arial">I think he may have played on some of the JUNKIE SUPERSTARS recordings, I am going to transfer them next..

Cool stuff Greg

This is great stuff. Daddy's Lil Girl is awesome.

Hey this is pretty good stuff, thanks for the link.

Not too sure about the vocals though, sound a bit too butch, if you know what I mean.

I prefer the vocals on this kind of stuff to be more bratty sounding (aka Hollywood Teasze, Sugar Shock)

It's been a while since I got some new glam demos so thanks for the link.

Man I thought the vocals were fine on this stuff. A lot of the vocals reminded me of the Sigue Sigue Sputnik vocalist and Rebel Rebel's vocalist. Couldn't fault any of the stuff personally [img]smile.gif[/img]

I like your comparisons Andi, I like to think we were a very eclectic bunch, We were trying to push the boundaries of what people thought Glam rock was, When Chris Johnson recorded this demo, I think he was expecting us to sound more like Poison ,Afterwards he did not know what to think of us, Years later when he was living in L.A., having experienced the scene their, and what was going on. He asked asked us if we would come and record some new stuff, but by then it was too late, T.M.H. was just a memory. . .

So I am right in saying I read somewhere here that you guys never did any studio demos or whatnot? That is a massive fucking shame mate. The more I listen to this live demo the more I love it. I just wish there were more bloody songs! lol.

Had this stuff crankin out at work, when the owner walks in, shit I was clickin everything trying to turn it off and ended up with a huge pair of tits on the screen, Job sucked anyway, Raucous sound and love the pink baseball boots.

A huge pair of tits came on screen? What were you doing looking at Trinny and Suzanna pictures???? [img]wink.gif[/img]

(For those who don't know.. those two are the most fucking annoying people I have ever seen on TV. Telling people what to wear and what not to wear etc. Like they have any fucking dress sense!).

No I was listening to the tracks, and panicked, honest. That pencil skirt was far too tight, err oops.

<font size="4" face="Arial">A couple songs did get the full studio treatment, It was after I left, I will try to track down the tapes !!

HEY GREG, DID YA TRANSFER SUM OTHER STUFF??? ANXIOUS ME??? LOL!!!

Yeah try and track down some stuff Suicide Junkie!

I am a fan of all this shit! Glamour Punks, Queeny Blast Pop, Babydolls, The Zeros, etc etc.... Would love to get my hands on more of this stuff!

Hey Greg,

One of the videos you should look for is a Candycane Lane show that I videotaped at the Whiskey in September 94 I think?? There was a slampit with all the Hollywood Homeless kids, that one kid that had the huge green mohawk was in the pit as well. They ended the show with a Green Day cover song Basket Case. I really don't remember the exact date. There'll be an afterparty on there as well from the Hanky Hazy house. It's a good tape. As far as I know there were only two copies one I had and the other for Candy from Candycane Lane. I lent my videotape to someone when I moved to OC and I think they took it, I don't know. If and when I do find it, then I'll encode it but don't hold your breath on waiting for it cuz I might never find it.

Now Candycane Lane vids would be awesome also! [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font size="4" face="Arial">I will ask around,
that reminded me of Lonnie ( CCL - bass player),
have not seen him in years, have you talked to him??,
I still remember when he first came to Hollywood, I tried to teach him the ropes, but I was a little out of it myself, once he moved out to the Valley he did really well, The last time I saw him I was amazed , he had my first Bass guitar- The Warlock ( it was so beat too shit), I could not believe he had kept it all those years!!

Actually I hate to be the bearer of bad news bro, but if I'm not mistaken Lonnie's dead. Has been for a couple of years now. I too remember Lonnie as being a great guy. I remember hanging out with him and his girlfriend, and just the happy demeanor about him back then.

If he's not dead then I apologize to him but to be honest I think I remember reading it on this board about his passing.

godamn..........FUCK,,,,,know waht else to type

SAME HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I GAVE THE BAD NEWS
