La Peste Live at Circe's Bar and Grill
Back in the early days of the Wormtown Scene, we looked to anyone who could help spread the word of what was going on. We looked up to the bands in Boston for inspiration, after all they were big players in the Major city in our state. What better way to promote ourselves if we could get them to come out to Worcester and play. One such band was La Peste, consisting of members Peter Dayton, Mark Karl, and Roger Tripp they were well on their way to dominating the Boston scene with their fast, furious style and ability to pack clubs throughout the city. They agreed to head west and play this gig along with The Blue Moon Band and Crazy Jack. Mike from Crazy Jack was in fine form that night and ended up "cutting" his set short for a trip to the hospital leaving La Peste to play an extended set, which they handled perfectly. Here now for the first time in 42 years is that set.

Darkbuster, the Lost Interview
This time we go back to 2006 with an interview and live performance by Boston Punk Rock Band, Darkbuster. I conducted this interview outside Ralph's Diner in the metal carport shelter. Looking through my archives of WDOA.com shows, don't think I ever aired this for some reason. They were just off the tour with Dropkick Murphy's and was the first time the band played Ralph's. Band members gave aliases but as I remember it was Lenny Lasley, Amy Griffin, and Mike Gurley among others I can't recall. They had just released their CD "A Weakness for the Spirits" and were on tour to promote it. Also, for some reason there are no photos from this show that I could locate, so what you hear is it. As they ran through their set and thrilled the crowd on hand that evening, it was true to what they came to represent. One of the scene's favorite bands. Enjoy!

The ROCK of Boston, WBCN 27th Anniversary
It's been over ten years now since WBCN 104.1 fm left the airwaves. They went on air as a rock station in March of 1968 and continued through until 2009. They used to celebrate their birthday by inviting Peter Wolf from the J Giles Band in to host a four hour show. He was actually a disc jockey there in the early days of the station. I always made it a point to listen/record the festivities as Wolf threw the playlist out the window and played the songs he liked, some from his actual record collection. Here we offer you to listen to the 27th anniversary show from 1995 in three parts. Since we all have time on our hands now thanks to the virus, I hope this will help you pass some time.

The Ballbusters Interview on WURN.net
In recent months I've been posting interviews with area bands conducted over the past 20 years or so, but this time we have a current visit by the newly reformed band The Ballbusters. If you're a fan of this blog and the scene in Wormtown, this name is no stranger to you. Led by Rick Blaze until his death in 2011, they played Worcester and the world for years. After the death of guitarist Dave Cuneo in 2013 the band wanted to play a tribute to him as they did with Rick's Passing in 2011. They finally got to do it one afternoon at Ralph's last year and decided it would be time to go forward with this new line up with the addition of Chris Cah Lillyman. But don't read any further, listen to their own story here, recorded March 7, 2020.
