Hello Roots Rock Rebel fans! Welcome to this week's podcast sendout! Our special guest on the program this week was Toronto-based 2-tone ska artist Prince Perry. Roots Rock Rebel Wednesday, February 1st, 2012 10pm-12am, CKUT, 90.3 FM, Montreal! Hello Roots Rock Rebel fans! Welcome to this week's podcast sendout! Our special guest on the program this week was Toronto-based 2-tone ska artist Prince Perry. He has a brand new album out with his backing band, The Gladtones, called "Love at the End of the Century". The Gladtones are an interesting band in of themselves, made up of members of Toronto ska allstars from King Apparatus (Mitch "King Kong" Girio) and The Harmonauts (Ryan Chopik). The new album is great - reminiscent of The Specials, Me Mom and Morgentaler, and a bit of skinhead reggae a la Aggrolites. Check them out and get your hands on the album here: www.princeperry.com Plus we heard brand new music on this week's show from The Pinstripes, King Kong Girio, and Jimmy Cliff. We also paid tribute to the legendary Jamaican DJ King Stitt, the ugly man himself, who sadly passed away last week. Fire corner! Be sure to tune in next Wednesday on Roots Rock Rebel, from 10pm-12am EST! Val from the Montreal Ska Society will be filling in, and the Hangers will be joining her live in the studio. Fun fun! http://thehangers.tv/ Until next week, stay rude, and stay rebel! **************************************************** To download or listen to this week’s podcast, visit: http://secure.ckut.ca/cgi-bin/ckut-grid.pl?action=showaudio&show=wednesday,22:00 ***************************************************** Playlist - February 1, 2012 Eddie Bo - I'm wise Nancy Jacobs and her Sisters - Meadowlands Ntemie's Alexandra All Star Band - Daddy wami Lee Dorsey - A lover was born The Mohawks - Hip jigger The Slackers - Jeepster The Pinstripes - Alright baby Mr. T-Bone and the Young Lions - Me myself and I The Forthrights - Stay out late Prince Perry - Spinning girl Interview with Prince Perry Prince Perry - Love at the end of the century Prince Perry - Wire Sound System - Wire King Kong Girio - Open letter to Paris Hilton Chris Murray and Victor Rice - Pieces (disco mix) King Stitt - The ugly one King Stitt - Rockers corner Harry J Allstars - Liquidator The Deltones - I'll take you there Tony Scott - What am I to do Trojan Sound System - Liquidator Flatfoot 56 - Way of the sun The Dreadnoughts - Grace O'Malley Oi Polloi - Sgrudadh 2323 Refused - Refused party program Barrington Levy - Here I come (Kromestar remix) Johnny Osbourne - Fally Ranking (V.I.V.E.K. remix) Jimmy Cliff - Brixton version Rancid - Cash culture and violence (bass drop mix) The Detroit Cobras - Can't miss nothing The Ramones - Judy is a punk Musical Occupation yes 2:00:00 http://www.musicaloccupation.com/2012/01/the-pinstripes-on-roots-rock-rebel-january-25-podcast/ http://www.musicaloccupation.com/2012/01/the-pinstripes-on-roots-rock-rebel-january-25-podcast/#comments Fri, 27 Jan 2012 02:27:57 +0000 Roots Rock Rebel http://www.musicaloccupation.com/?p=8041

Sounds good to us!  They put out a nice 8-song album in 2011 called Alexandria, which covers many different music styles, and features the collaboration of world-renowned reggae producer Dubmatix.  Check them out online! www.dubtrinity.com Other than that, we played plenty of anti-fascist punk, skinhead reggae, and soulful rocksteady on this week's program.

Roots Rock Rebel Wednesday, December 14th, 2011 10pm-12am, CKUT 90.3FM, Montreal! Hello Radio Rebels! Welcome back to another weekly podcast of Roots Rock Rebel, beaming out thousands of pounds of punk-soul-reggae energy from the island of Montreal every Wednesday! This week on the program, we did our annual year in review special. It was a “best of 2011” throwdown. Like in past years, we counted down our picks for the top 5 ska/reggae albums of the year, and here they are! 5. The Selecter - “Made in Britain” (Vocaphone Music) These 2-tone ska legends came back with a timely, poignant album this year, hitting with world with an anti-racist, anti-fascist ska punch just as riots were tearing up the UK again. Pauline Black also released her auto-biography “Black by Design” at the same time, proving herself to be one of the best vocalists and political voices in the ska world. This record proves The Selecter still have the great grit and attitude today that they did 30 years ago. 4. The Fabulous Lolo - “S/T” (independent) If 2010 was the year of the mashup, 2011 was the year of the cover album. And there were some great ones that came out! The Fabulous Lolo, aka. Lorraine Muller (ex-Kingpins) assembled an all-star cast of Montreal musicians, including members of One Night Band and Danny Rebel and the KGB. This record is 7 covers of rocksteady and rock n roll classics, and it sounds divine. Bucket from the Toasters says The Fabulous Lolo are one of his favourite bands right now, and I'm inclined to agree. A Montreal classic. 3. Smoke Like A Fish - “Blood, Fish, and Bone” (Do the Dog records) Wow! An upbeat ska record with great licks, subversive lyrics, catchy songs, and one of the best Zounds covers I've ever heard. A solid release from these British ska stalwarts. 2. Mr. T-Bone and the Young Lions - “Nothing to lose” (Jump Up records) Mr. T-Bone and the Young Lions are consistently one of the best ska-reggae groups in the world, hands down. This is not the first time one of their albums has graced the Roots Rock Rebel top 5 list. This Italian band released “Nothing to lose” on Jump Up records this past fall, and it serves up everything their fans have come to expect – soulful harmonies, great horns, funky rhythms, and rebellious lyrics! 1. Jimmy Cliff - “The Sacred Fire EP” (Collective Sounds) Our pick for the top reggae album of the year comes from Jamaican reggae legend Jimmy Cliff! He released “The Sacred Fire EP” in December. It is the culmination of an incredible collaboration between Cliff and Rancid-frontman Tim Armstrong, who produced the album. It's got one Jimmy Cliff original on it, and some great covers of The Clash, Bob Dylan, and of course, Rancid. And to top it off, the backing band on this release features some ex-members of The Aggrolites and Hepcat. A must-have! So there you go, our top 5 picks for 2011. For the rest of the show, we played some other great releases that came out this year, including new stuff from The Slackers, The Planet Smashers, and Deal's Gone Bad. Hey, follow us on facebook! www.facebook.com/ckutrootsrockrebel We're taking next week off, but we want to wish everyone a happy holidays, and we'll be back soon!

It's time again for another weekly podcast of Roots Rock Rebel! This week on the program, our special guest in studio was The Skinny. The Skinny are a newer band on the Montreal scene, comprised of former members of Stepper and Take the Boys. Their sound is a stripped-down, skinny blend of soul, reggae, and ska, very reminiscent of the Chris Murray Combo. You can catch them at a variety of shows around Montreal, including a big show at Petit Campus this Friday, December 2 alongside Kman and the 45s! Anyways, The Skinny played a couple live songs for us, and talked about their music. Check out the band here: www.myspace.com/skinnyreggae Also, 2011 is quickly coming to a close, and soon we will be counting down our top 5 ska/reggae releases of the year for Roots Rock Rebel on our year-end round-up on December 28. BUT WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! What were your favorite releases of the year? Shoot us a message at rebel@ckut.ca Finally, we got our first ever complaint for Roots Rock Rebel (after 7 years!) in the mail, from a listener who wasn't happy about the interview we aired last week on Punks Against Apartheid. Actually, I don't think this 'listener' actually 'listened' to the interview. Aparently, some people don't like coming to terms with the fact that Israel is an apartheid state. Yikes. Anyways, it actually makes me happy we got a complaint, because at least we are starting a dialogue about this important issue in the punk rock and ska community. If you have any questions about PAA, or the boycott campaign against Israeli apartheid, don't hesitate to send me an email at rebel@ckut.ca. Next week on the program, we'll be joined in the studio by Chris Barry of the Montreal pioneering punk band the 222's! Until next week, Stay rude, stay rebel, Aaron Maiden **************************************************** To download or listen to this week’s podcast, visit: http://secure.ckut.ca/cgi-bin/ckut-grid.pl?action=showaudio&show=wednesday,22:00 ***************************************************** Playlist – November 30, 2011   Alton Ellis – Ska beat The Wailers – Hooligan ska Bob Marley and the Wailers with The Skatalites – One love The Skatalites – Lawless street Derrick Morgan and Desmond Dekker – What a revenge The Debonaires – Right hand man Smooth Beans – She's gone King Fatty – Fe-fo fi fum Tasty Grooves – Better than nothing The Skinny – New thing (live at CKUT!)   Interview with The Skinny   The Skinny – Week one (live at CKUT!)

Our special guest on the program was Alexander Billet,   Roots Rock Rebel Wednesday, November 23, 2011 10pm-12am, CKUT 90.3FM, Montreal! Hello Radio Rebels! We're back with another HUGE show for Roots Rock Rebel this week. Our special guest on the program was Alexander Billet, who is a music journalist in Chicago, and one of the co-founders of Punks Against Apartheid. Punks Against Apartheid (PAA) is a global grassroots initiative that encourages punk bands, labels, promoters, and fans to support the Palestinian campaign for Boycotts, Divestments, and Sanctions (BDS) against Israeli apartheid. Similar  to how many musicians refused to play in South Africa during the apartheid regime there, many musicians today are refusing to play in Israel because of their occupation of the West Bank  and Gaza, and racist laws that discriminate against Palestinian citizens of Israel. Some musicians  who recently have cancelled shows in Israel include Elvis Costello, The Pixies, Gorillaz, and most recently, because of PAA's efforts, Jello Biafra (ex-Dead Kennedys)! So head on over to their recently-launched site, check 'em out, and sign your support – especially  if you are in a band, have a label, book shows, etc! www.punksagainstapartheid.com Also, if you want more information on the BDS campaign to end Israeli apartheid and free Palestine, go here: www.bdsmovement.net www.pacbi.org Next week on the program, we'll be joined in the studio by The Skinny a brand new ska/reggae  band in Montreal featuring ex-members of Stepper and Take the Boys!

After taking a week off, Roots Rock Rebel is back and more pissed than ever! But anger only ever led to some of the most fist-shakingly good creations in punk, ska, and reggae, so let's feed it! Plus we always want to reaffirm our hatred of the boys in blue, and our love for the millions of you people out there who are occupying, decolonizing, striking, fighting, and skanking! On the program this week, our special guest was Jamaican reggae vocalist Little Roy! Little Roy began his career in the late 1960s in Jamaica under the wing of legends like Coxsonne Dodd and Prince Buster, who gave him his stage name. He still records and performs widely today, and his most recent album is the acclaimed "Battle for Seattle", which is a Nirvana reggae cover album! Before some of you purists dismiss the idea of a cover album, you should check this out. It reminds me of some of the great cover material by the Easy Dub Allstars. Go check it out! www.battleforseattle.com Also on the show this week, my good friend DJ Boban from Serbia came by to spin us a set of ska, reggae, and punk from the Balkans and former-Yugoslavia. Fun stuff! Prijatno! Lots of exciting stuff coming up on the next few weeks of the program, including interviews and in-studio performances by The Skinny (ex-Stepper, Montreal), Tasty Grooves, and Punks Against Apartheid!

It's Roots Rock Rebel time again this week! First up, I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who donated or made a pledge during our funding drive last week. Big up! But we're still about $3000 short of our total CKUT drive goal of $50k, so if you like this podcast and want to support it so that it continues, please go to www.ckut.ca and make a pledge today!   On the podcast for November 2, we have a few very special guests for you. In the first hour of the program, we interviewed Zeke, the vocalist from LA ska band The Bohunks. They have a new album out called "In the waiting room" which is full of tight, catchy ska, the way it's meant to be played. Check out The Bohunks!   www.thebohunks.com   Then in the second hour of the program, we had a Mod Invasion! Pat and Ben from The Montreal Mod Club (or Modtreal... great name!) came by to spin a set of rare 45s of mostly Montreal or Canadian artists. Amazing! If you are in Montreal, make sure you check out The Mod Club the first Saturday of every month at Blizzarts. And go check out the Parka Avenue blog:   www.parkaavenue.com   Next week we're taking the week off the show, but Roots Rock Rebel will be back in full force on November 16 with an interview with Jamaican reggae singer Little Roy!   Until then, Stay rude, stay rebel, Aaron Maiden   ****************************************************   To download or listen to this week’s podcast, visit: http://secure.ckut.ca/cgi-bin/ckut-grid.pl?action=showaudio&show=wednesday,22:00   *****************************************************   Playlist - November 2, 2011   Operation Ivy - Bankshot The Silencers - Candy Millie - My boy lollipop The Class Assassins - No justice U.S. Bombs - Wig out The Toy Dolls - Deirdre's a slag The Ramones - Judy is a punk The Queers - Fuck this world Crass - Darling Zounds - Can't cheat karma The Bohunks - Animal times   Interview with Zeke from The Bohunks   The Bohunks - As is Roger Rivas - In this corner Mr T-Bone and the Young Lions - Get free The Wailers - Do it nice The Wailers - Pound get a blow Marc Ibarz - Better than nothing The Four Tops - Reach out   DJ Parka Pat selects   The Haunted - 1-2-5 The Bohemians - I need you babe David Thomas and the Boss Men - Brainwashed The Persuaders - Don't fight it The Mod Beats - Somebody hump me Thee Deuces - Hung up on you The Ugly Ducklings - Nothing Les Coquettes - Jimmy Mack Pierre Perpall - Satisfaction Raphael - J'ai vu Le Clan 91 - Le sens de l'amitie   The Specials - Stereotype Little Roy - Dive Marvin Gaye - What's goin' on (Al Fingers mashup) The Slackers - Strychnine   Musical Occupation yes 1:59:29
