Rather
than concentrate on some of the fine music played on this week’s show, like the 7”singles by bands such as the Black Hollies and
Peoples Temple, or new albums from the Luck
of Eden Hall, Soft Hearted Scientists and
[at last!] the very cool debut from Adelaide’s Slingshot
Dragster, or even ‘blasts from the past’ by the
Bee Gees and Tin Tin, we’d like to
draw attention to a wonderful short film by Alex Innocenti that we’ve
posted after the Red Angel Panic track. It centres
on an iconic Adelaide venue from the 60’s that he ran, “the Cellar” in Twin Street in the city, and features great
footage of some of the bands [including of course the abovementioned Red Angel Panic] that played there and some of the
events associated with it. Of course, the building is no longer there, demolished
recently as part of yet another upmarket ‘project’ – sigh!
– though it emerged in its final decade as another Adelaide icon, the Jade Monkey, which continues in another
location to provide great, local independent music... But do take a look at
this fascinating slice of Adelaide music history, and while you’re at it, check
out the final clip – an interview [plus some music] with Russia’s brilliant Messer Chups.....
