SMASHING STEVE GREEN & GUY THE GUITARIST

Steve 'Townsend' Green surprised the Wedgwood Rooms by smashing up his Fender Telecaster Guitar on stage at the end of one of Time Bombs finest shows. Time Bomb played to a packed house and gave the audience 'the power hour', 60 minutes of the hardest mod tunes you have heard. Can't explain turned into Town Called Malice  turned into Mirror in the bathroom turned into Won't Get Fooled Again, and that was just four out of the twenty number Time Bomb.

Time Bomb came out of the starting gates at 100 mph and did not slow for the whole period culminating with the maddest version of My Generation. Massive energy, huge distorted bass solo and then the destruction of the guitar (pictured left, no this is not Steve Green but Guy's first go on a guitar since he took up the ukulele four months ago). When asked why he smashed up his much love guitar, Steve said 'It kept on going out of tune, so I smashed it up'. Err ok Steve.

We are not anticipating much more smashing of guitars, how ever Mr Green does have quite a large guitar collection so watch this space. Gibson Les Paul customs splinter quite nicely I hear. When we asked Simon if he was going to smash up his Musicman Sterling Bass, his response was something like this F**** S***** B***L** **H*** *N* T**T or something...... so that a no then?

Big thank to Orange Street for the evening at the Wedgwood Rooms, they were great.

Brook review & DVD

Chinners has put pen to paper and has written his own review of the Brook which you can view on the 'comments' page. We have no influence over Chinners's writing, it is all his own commnets. But we thank Chinners for his assistance. He has also bought himself a new phone or camera and video'd two great tunes from the show. The quality is great. See DVD link above or preview Nite-Klub above (please note, a larger version is available on the DVD page):

Picture this

Guy has decided that we need more photos of you lot, so from now on he will be taking a picture of the crowd from every gig. If you want to be on the website, come to our gigs, dance at the front and guy will take a group photo. When Guy then figures out how to down load them, Simon will put them on the website.

On my radio

Time bomb have hooked up with Teenage Kicks Radio and Ace Radio, an all new radio station on the internerd. David Crane the DJ is playing a whole host of Time Bomb stuff from our back catalogue of originals and covers. Check them out at http://www.aceradio.co.uk/

Here's David's bit:I'm originally from Hampshire but now based in North Yorkshire.

I was a Mod/Scooterboy through the 1980's and I have been involved in many different music scenes over the years, but with a constant alliance to the Scootering scene.

 I started presenting shows on internet stations during the 2nd half of 2008 and I've had shows aired on several stations online since then. I now present my Teenage Kicks show (All the best Scootering & Punk sounds) every Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday exclusively on Ace Radio. The show features tunes from 2-Tone, Ska, Mod, Soul, Motown, New-Wave, Punk & Oi!
