Merry Christmas Wormtown!
Well, here we are at the end of 2020, a year that we will never forget. Since I had no live radio show planned for this week, I went through the archives to look for something recorded around Christmastime to post. I came upon this from December 24, 1993. Rick Blaze and Jeff Crane stopped by the studios of WICN in Worcester to promote the debut performance of The Ballbusters at Sir Morgans Cove in the coming week. They had with them a tape of newly recorded songs they had been working on and also performed live on air. Sadly, as you probaly know, Rick passed away in 2011. Jeff has recently said The Ballbusters will return in 2021 in yet another incarnation to keep the spirit of the band going. That gives us all something to look forward to.

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!
