This date in 1979, DR. FEELGOOD released MILK AND ALCOHOL A song that owes much to Lee Brilleaux’s “sweat-spattered, eye-bulging, finger-wagging” performance #drfeelgood @GCPunkNewWave @FeelgoodBand #pubrock #leebrilleaux

Today marks 40th ANNIV of 999’s EMERGENCY. EMERGENCY was performed with all the channelled ferocity of the old 999 tunes, but had an imaginative arrangement. Shards of chopped guitar chords, an off-kilter goo.gl/HL7siQ @GCPunkNewWave @999_band #AS8502 #NineNineNine
