ROR005 - "Mods Mayday2009"
Split E.P. on 7" vinyl with pic sleeve and insert.
Well it was 30 years ago today!! 30 years since that legendary night at the Bridgehouse, Canning Town, London. 30 years since Secret Affair, The Merton Parka’s, Small Hours, Beggar, Squire and The Mods filled the tiny backroom of a pub and the whole night was recorded and released on LP with the iconic sleeve of Robert S. Lee sat astride his immaculate vespa.
But this is now, and although the city may have changed the music is still as fresh and meaningful as it was back in 1979, even some of the original revival bands will make it to the Soundbar in Birmingham (Killermeters, Squire, Circles and Small World to name a few) for a mod-filled weekend of live music and DJs.
Rowed out Records is very proud to be associated in what will be THE live event of 2009 for mods everywhere. Four bands showcase their talent on what is entitled ‘Mods Mayday 2009’ – a four track vinyl E.P.
The bands featured are YEH YEH with a brand new track ‘And so begins another day’ – proof that the ‘80s modsters still have the talent to produce a quality tune, the usual fire in the belly pounder that is associated with the band.
Track two is by a new band from Stevenage / Hitchin. THE PETTY HOODLUMS deliver a perfect cover of the Shocking Blue club classic ‘Send me a postcard’. A band well worth catching live for their blend of 60s mod attitude mixed with superb musicianship.
Side Two is kicked off by THE UPPER FIFTH who need no introduction. Mark ‘Syd’ McGounden (Makin’ Time) is the frontman of this excellent Rhythm ‘n’ Soul act who have been blowing audiences away all over the world – check out their ‘Take the fifth’ CD on Vectra Records.
The last track is by another new band THE VISITORS who have provided a real corker to end the E.P. Recorded just before the E.P. went to the pressing plant, the band shows its potential with a great slice of powerpop with a mod mind-set.
With a release date of 18th March – two months before the actual weekend event, ‘Mods Mayday 2009’ will prove to be a real appetiser for the occasion to celebrate 30 years of mod revival.

Ivy c/w The Man That Time Forgot CDR The Lost 45s UK are in their own words at the head of Leeds Beat Revolution. For extra kudos they even go so far as to picture themselves playing a McCartney bass and pawing over... funny enough, some lost 45s... cleverrrr! This is great Mod-beat from Leeds, England! "Ivy" owes a big tip o' the hat to Them's "I Can Only Give You Everything" with a bit of "Gloria" thrown in for good measure. The tune makes it's own way with great playing and a very clever story in the lyrics. The Man That Time Forgot’ is more of a dreamy track with a slow, laid back arrangement. It reminds me of some of Paul Weller’s solo material With this kind of leader the Beat barricades may soon be on your door step. AVAILABLE FROM ROWED OUT RECORDS FOR £2.99 + P&P.
