ALL OTHERS WILL BE TOWED

Strange. None the less he has been started his career in the early 80s I have been never heard about BEN VAUGHN before. His 16th album is the first I have listened. And I am impressed.

The album Piece de resistance has been released recently on French label KIZMIAZ RECORDS. It’s full of good old frenchy western swings and moods. Easy and elegant as this verse from the title song is

„sabotage, bon vivant, nouveau riche, je ne sais quoi, s’il vous plaît, c’est la vie, femme fatale, repertoire”

He made an album Cubist Blues together with Alan Vega and Alex Chilton in 1996. Chilton started his career as a teen star in Memphis in the 60s, then formed the band Big Star, moved to New York and played often at CBGB in the 70s, then in early 80s went to New Orleans at Louis XVI Restaurant to dish wash. Sabotage, bon vivant.

„Tell young teenagers the news, we got good hard rock”

Mick Cancer, Sal Mineo’s Only Son (aka Ben Vaughn), Barb Dwyer and Palmyra Delran are together

PINK SLIP DADDY

was a psychobilly punk band in Philadelphia from the late 80s up to 1995. Next year 12 Golden Country Greats was released by Ween with Ben Vaughn as producer.

The band was reformed in 2012, and in 2016 they have „returned to rock action with a vengeance, having recently played a string of calamitous live shows and a new 7” EP, a rollicking, raucous heartfelt celebration of the music of teen pop idol Fabian Forte, and the golden age of Philadelphia rock ‘n’ roll.”

Fabian’s music career lasted exactly so far while Elvis Presley as a sergeant of US 3rd Armoured Division served in Western Germany between 1959-60. A short film about Fabian, the manufactured idol.

But more important that here is a 7″ vinyl with 3 new songs on French label Kizmiaz Records. The first ones after 22 years

so PINK SLIP DADDY  is a psychobilly punk band in Philadelphia again. And you can find some old songs on their soundcloud free to download
