Friday Videos: In Which I Enter Wikipedia
My friend Stu and I have been Fleshtones fans for years: as I’ve said a number of times, they’re one of the best rock-n-roll bands on the planet, a nonstop riot of r&b and garage rock known for leading conga lines of fans out of the club and onto the street. They call it Super Rock:
The Fleshtones describe the music they play as SUPER ROCK.
* Peter Zaremba: “Super Rock is all of the great elements that make rock & roll the great and vital thing that excites people rolled into one, without saying, this is disco or this is garage rock. Putting it together and rolling it up into one big greasy ball: that’s Super Rock.”
* Bill Milhizer: “Super Rock is taking the best, most exciting elements of rock & roll, and exaggerating and amplifying them beyond proportion, with no apology whatsoever.”
I believe they were the last band to play Windows on the World, the restaurant/bar at the World Trade Center. I saw that show, and reviewed it (it’s in my “greatest hits” sidebar somewhere).
Anyway, The Fleshtones are in Wikipedia now, and my review made it into the entry as well.
I feel so… immortal. And with that, onto the videos. Fleshtones of course:
