Brian T. Kirchner replied to Nick X's discussion Most SAVAGE punk bands"Yeah, I should have mentioned that Teenage Head were backing up Thunders.

Brian T. Kirchner replied to Nick X's discussion Most SAVAGE punk bands"Although it wasn't the original line-up, the Viletones' Saturday Night/Sunday Morning is a great live lp. There wasn't any of their output that I didn't like. I only got to see them once--they were opening for Johnny Thunders at…"

Brian T. Kirchner replied to Phillip Jaggar's discussion Favorite 60's garage 45 in your collection""Comin' Down"/"Pop Top" by The Sigma Five. The record is M.I.A. at this time and I'm worried that a thieving former friend nabbed it along with several others."

Brian T. Kirchner replied to Bev's discussion Great Bands From Detroit?"The band that ruled the alternative scene in the mid-'70s to the early '80s was The Mutants. Unfortunately, all they left behind was two singles and a cut on a Detroit comp. A later incarnation of the band released a six-song e.p. Humorous…"
Brian T. Kirchner replied to Nick X's discussion Powerpop Bands"I'm glad Die Wasted brought up the Biters. Great band! Other faves: The Decibels, The Blades, The (Paul Collins) Beat, The Records, & The Fabulous Poodles."
Brian T. Kirchner replied to Josh Ryan's discussion What's your favorite one-man band?"I saw Subourbon Son a year or so ago and he was great! I hope he's still doing it.
Although he wasn't a full one-man band, Cranford Nix(R.I.P.) and his guitar could really control and thoroughly entertain a crowd, even those who had never…"

Brian T. Kirchner replied to Brian T. Kirchner's discussion Downloading obscure music"I have the first Purple Toads album on cassette and the second one on vinyl. I have a pretty decent collection of Canadian punk. I was hoping there was a website that had hard-to-find songs available to download."
TeenFink replied to Brian T. Kirchner's discussion Downloading obscure music"Yeah, it's not like it's impossible to find reissues or legit comps that have obscure songs on them. Check out the Norton Records catalog, Bear Family, Crypt, Sundazed, Bomp/AIP, Rhino, etc. Hell, just do a google search for them and…"

- Bio:
- I've been a music head my whole life. I had a very cool older brother which contributed greatly to my musical tastes. In high school, my favorites were the Pretty Things, The Stones, The Kinks, The Who, Golden Earring and Ian Hunter. In college the New York Dolls, the Heartbreakers and the Ramones were thrown into the mix. In the last 20 years, I have amassed a great collection of 40s and 50s R&B, blues and jump blues as well as some cool Detroit soul pieces. My music habit is afforded by working the last 22 years at the post office.
