...ANYWAY, CAN'T FIND A CURRENT MYSPACE FOR FASTWAY SO HERE'S SOME FURTHER INFO ABOUT THE BAND...Fastway was originally formed in England in 1982 by guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke, after he left Motorhead and Pete Way from UFO. Between 1982 and 1990, Fastway released six studio albums in addition to a live album and a reworked version of “On Target”.
During Fastway’s journey, the band took on various line ups, but the backbone of the band and one constant was “Fast” Eddie Clarke on lead guitar. In 1990, Fastway called it a day until they resurfaced 17 years later with an all new line up.
The 2007 version of Fastway once again features “Fast” Eddie Clarke on guitar, and he is accompanied by Toby Jepson (solo and ex- Little Angels) on vocals, John McManus (ex-Mama’s Boys) on bass and Steve Strange on drums. Their live June debut in London was met with rave reviews and have been a sure fire hit on the stage in the few major festival dates they have already played in 2007.
STILL LOVE THIS!(posted 27.9.08)
A FILM TO CHECK OUT IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY!
ALONG WITH GBH, DIDN'T THESE BANDS INSPIRE AMERICAN HARDCORE?!?!....GBH FORMED IN 79...TWO BANDS NOT EVEN MENTIONED IN THE FILM AMERICAN HARDCORE......DIDN'T THE WEST COAST FOLLOW THE EAST COAST?!?!.....SOMEONE TRYIN TO RE WRITE HISTORY?..LOL.......PITY, A GOOD FILM OTHERWISE!XXX
In the 1970’s, a group of teen surfers from a rough neighborhood known as "Dogtown" in Venice, California, created a cultural revolution by transforming skateboarding from a recreational activity into an extreme sport.
When a shipment of urethane wheels arrives at Santa Monica's Zephyr Surf Shop, the owner, Skip Engblom, played by Heath Ledger, puts together a team of local layabouts to test his new invention.
Known as the Zephyr Skateboard Team, the boys transferred their surf skills to drain pipes and empty swimming pools with stunning results. Their acrobatic manoeuvres inspired generations of teens and catapulted them to fame and fortune.
The movie follows the character developments of Stacy, Jay and Tony as they negotiate the benefits and pitfalls of superstardom.
Great soundtrack too, Budgie, Rod Stewart, Ted Nugent, T-Rex and more....
Television
Don't have much time to watch but like some sitcoms (fave being The Mighty Boosh), catch the occasional film,documentaries
SNELL (EX TOWERS OF LONDON) ON DRUMS THE REV ON GUITAR (NOW PLAYIN WITH DIRTY HARRY) THE MIGHTY BOOSH
Books
Autobioraphies, anything real, historic, scientific, cultural and spiritual....the occasional fiction novel!
We all know that a majority of fiction is based on fact, many writers gain their inspiration from people or situations they have known. The sitcom Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie was based on a friend who lived with a gay guy and the things she would come out with which inspired a writer she worked with!
There are many examples if you dig around......'The Hunchback Of Notre Dame' always a fave novel....is no exception and was published in 1831. Many will know the story but if you really analyse it there's so much more to it, written by Victor Hugo who himself was a poet, novelist, humanitarian and political activist during the 1800's. Being a very good read a film was made 1923 (love any old black and white films) More recently even Disney made an excellent adaptation ( recommended humour within but still gets the point across).........Sadly, much hasn't changed in the UK today. The truth is people are afraid of anything or anyone who is different! People assume too much!....That can mean ethnic background or from how you dress to how you live your life through choice or not by choice (knew a band of that name)....It's something experienced through my lifetime, even to the point where an interview was done with someone and I was asked if they could read it before it went to the editor!( a writer themselves) It passed with no flaws! Phew!
But it's also the same with bureaucracy and officialdom! It's been fun actually to see faces when preconceived assumptions are shattered when one presents themselves in the correct manner!

April 06, My cousin came to visit and handed me a book (she's 59/60 now!), written by a great, great, great uncle in the 1800's...a relative who was a preacher it seems and travelled America and Australia. My uncle Mick who was married to dad's sister was the last in the direct bloodline!......Some interesting facts which are still true of today, Gypsies are NOT all the same, knew that anyway! In the UK you have pikes, tinkers, new age travellers, fairground people... and then your TRUE ENGLISH ROMANY...We are tarred with the same brush but we are not the same!!!!....We don't believe in reading palms, we don't rob banks etc, they have pilfered in the past and sometimes today but only a few apples or potatoes to live on!....We originated from Israel, a lost race, hence thick dark hair, prominent noses (I could go on)....we love music too! Some spent a few hundred years on the plains of India before spreading out but we headed West!....The Nazi's knew this and that's why they gassed the gypsies and the jews...it's an interesting read really, and helped to answer alot of questions... treated like dirt, buried in pits and unmarked graves and only at night back in the 1800's, no romany was allowed to buried in the day in church yards ....but one time prime minister David Lloyd George said 'If ever I found myself in the wilds of Australia where no one had heard of a British Politcian. I would knock on the door of the nearest squatters or miners hut and say 'I am an old friend of gypsy Smith'...book is available on Ambassador....And you don't have to be on the road either, it's bloodline and you a brought up knowing how to survive in hard times, manners, morals,self respect, even their own language!
Falling in with older hippy/bikers from the age of 10, my mother trusted them (open minded herself...and an angel!) and both camps encouraged Art, Music, Enviromental knowledge etc.etc....caring, honest, genuine people...but they were different days!
HERE ARE TWO 'FICTION' BOOKS WHICH WERE VERY WELL WRITTEN AND HELD ATTENTION, THE CELESTINE PROPHECY BY JAMES REDFIELD...IS A STORY OF 'COINCIDENCES'..YOU KNOW HOW YOU LOOK BACK IN HINDSIGHT AND SAY 'THAT'S WHY THAT HAPPENED' IT'S ALL VERY FATEFUL, AND SPIRITUAL....SOMETIMES YOU FEEL THERE ARE ARE OTHER SCOURCES AT WORK!YOU ARE ON A PATH IN LIFE!
BILLE MORGAN, WRITTEN BY JOOLZ DENBY FREAKED ME OUT....SOME OF IT SEEMED FAMILIAR HERE AND THERE!BILLIE IS 46...LIVES WITH HER CATS...TRYING TO LIVE A QUIET LIFE, LOVES ART, BOB DYLAN, CURVED AIR....HAWKWIND'S SILVERMACHINE, PUNK AND GOTH GETS A MENTION TOO!!!!!!!!!!THE LIST IS ENDLESS!!!IT WAS THE END OF THE 60'S AND THE 70'S... GOOD BIKER CHICK STORY THOUGH! ANOTHER BOOK WHICH HAS HAD RAVE REVIEWS AND GETS A THUMBS UP!!...
Autobiography only just read, although already knew some of what the book was about....met Dave at a punk gig in London, through a good mate Steve Whale (Ex Business) he was doing security!...attended 'An Audience With', went to Coutneys Camelot for an interview for Pulped and my show (used to have the occasional update too!)....Reading the book (finally)...Dave comes across no different as he is in real life, just tells it as it was!...Excellent read! Nice one Dave! x

JUST A SAMPLE TOO MUCH TO PUT ON SITE!
IN BRIEF!......BEFORE HSS, WAS HAVING A PRETTY GOOD TIME SEEING GLAM, PROGRESSIVE, THRASH, GOTH, METAL AND ROCK BANDS PLAY ETC..JUST CAME OUT OF DRAG RACING AFTER 10 YEARS, BEFORE THAT AN MCC, BEFORE THAT WAS INFLUENCED BY FAMILY AND OLDER HIPPIES AND BIKERS (TALKING 60'S AND 70'S)!....A PASSION FOR MUSIC, COULD BE A BIT OF AN UNDERSTATEMENT!
(COUPLE OF PRE HSS PASSES - ALWAYS AT SHOWS!)
....ALL THIS WORK SINCE END OF 94...FOR PASSION OF MUSIC...NOTHING MORE, I'VE GIVEN ALL MY SPARE TIME, MONEY, DEDICATION AND BEEN HONEST TO EVERYONE.....YOU CAN'T ARGUE AGAINST HONESTY!
HSS BEGAN TOWARDS THE END OF 95 IN MILTON KEYNES, REASON BEING PUNK WAS ALMOST DEAD (MORE INTO U.S. SIDE OF THINGS,APART FROM A HANDFUL OF UK PUNK BANDS YEARS AGO)... ANYWAY, THEN SUICIDAL TENDENCIES SPLIT IN 94....WHICH WAS FINAL STRAW!!!!!!!....DID WRITE AND SAID I DIDN'T KNOW HOW OR WHEN BUT I WAS ON A MISSION TO CHANGE THINGS!...HSS STUCK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB IN LISTINGS IN THE BEGINNING ... I'VE BEEN A NUISANCE TO EVERYONE IN EVERY GENRE EVER SINCE......STARTED STRAIGHT AWAY WRITING FOR HIP HOP CONNECTION (HHC)THEY WERE THE ONLY MAG AT THAT TIME TO BE 'OPEN MINDED' AND GIVE ME A CHANCE TO GET A FOOT IN THE DOOR, ONE THING LED TO ANOTHER...THEY KNEW MY PASSION FOR ROCK AND EVERYTHING ELSE. AT THAT TIME MAGAZINES AND RADIO WERE NOT THAT OPEN MINDED. FROM THAT WROTE FOR TERRORIZER, WAS AT THIS TIME BROADCASTING AT CRMK, GOT ANOTHER SHOW AT CAMBRIDGE, WAS WRITING FOR VARIOUS HARDCORE ZINES, WRITTEN FOR ROB CLYMO (Metal forces, Terrorizer,also wrote for The Underground)
Contributed to Attitude clothing's website in the early days, even finding their models for skatewear....BEGAN DJ'ING HOLIDAYS IN THE SUN FESTIVALS, WRITING AND PLANNING PROGRAMMES FOR THE EVENT, DJ'D METAL AND HARDCORE FESTS...INCLUDING THE EVIL FEST!!, BEGAN WRITING FOR GEORGE MARSHALL OF PULPED AND SKINHEAD TIMES CONTRIBUTING PUNK AND HARDCORE,(he also produced the first ever ska zine) done a couple of tv bits too, AND COLLEGE RADIO!....HSS WAS THE FIRST SHOW OF IT'S KIND MIXING EVERY GENRE AND TONS OF INTERVIEWS....GREAT CLASSIC ROCK FROM MY PAST AND EVERYTHING BASICALLY FROM THE 60'S TO PRESENT...
WAS ASKED TO JOIN TOTALROCK A FEW YEARS AGO (ONLY THERE 3 YEARS, LONG ENOUGH!), INITIALLY JUST TO DO PUNK, HAD A FRIDAY METAL SHOW, THEN I WAS ASKED TO DO HARDCORE, THEN EVENTUALLY MY PAST CAME OUT (THANX TO THE SOUTH COAST CHAPTER, THE WEB CAM, OLD PRESS CUTTINGS.... THIS WAS THE BEGINNING WHERE MY ROOTS BEGAN TO COME OUT! thank you, thank you, thank you xxx)
THE SHOW CAN INCORPORATE MANY GENRES....IT WAS ROCK/METAL BASED ORIGINALLY...
At the end of the day it's all rock 'n' roll, and there's many a tale to tell and remember, some good, some bad!...a But it's been a great insight to become a part of all these scenes and be involved with them, had already been to Europe, Ireland, Isle Of Man, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Norway for racing, now music took me to the States and Europe again!, it's been educational, just feel like I've lived three lifetimes already! lol!....
...TO EXPLAIN THE TITLE OF THE SHOW....
the term 'hardcore'... I hadn't heard of when I was younger, we just were! (see left!)..... 'street'....., well suppose that speaks for itself, TOOK IT FROM STREET BIKES REALLY, 'sounds'.....that can be anything, guitar driven!...
ROCK N ROLL CAN BE FUN, AND SHOULD BE!...IT CAN ALSO DELIVER A MESSAGE..STORIES....OPINIONS....ETC...

Quote from MetalteamUK
"I had previously seen these guys at Bloodstock a couple of years ago, those who were there got a battering from Anger Management.Now older and wiser they are certainly bloody heavy, blowing the cobwebs away in the most appropriate way."
Quote from RockersDigest
"This was brutal to the point of painful to the senses.The band has been put together by ex-Murder One / Medula Nocte powerhouse drummer Jammer, hence its no surprise subtleties are unlikely. Quite frankly after the three songs I managed to catch I felt like someone had put a tin bucket on my head and battered it with a hammer! Top stuff!"
To all you rock fans that can get to London on 18th December 09, come to The Offical Pogues Afterparty at Jamm in Brixton! There's gonna be a guest appearance for the legend Shane Macgowan himself and we're gonna be playing our latest tracks as well as album favourites!
