Best of Kansas City 2006: The Last of the V8s
Time was, just about every car that rolled out of Detroit packed a V8 engine, the monster that drove families to church and propelled teenagers recklessly down back roads after dark. Now, big engines are the albatross around America's gas-guzzling neck, and workaday speed demons are lucky to have a V6 under their sensible hoods. So it's not the Dodge hemi that comes to mind when the Last of the V8s plays but rather a steel-bodied, four-door GM battle cruiser, trashed on the inside, rusty along the bottom, its crackly stereo blasting "I Wanna Be Your Dog." At every live show, band builds an altar to rock, with high priest-cum-lead singer Ryan Mattes sacrificing himself in a frenzy of growls, sweat, stage dives and self-inflicted bloody gashes. Meanwhile, bassist Chico Thunder and guitarist Jay Zastoupil mount roaring assaults; at least once every show, Zastoupil climbs atop Thunder's shoulders to form a chicken-fight totem pole of rock. In the back, Kriss Ward pounds bolts into the foundation, delivering savage backup yeahs into a mic. The overall effect is ridiculously thundering, like a Delta '88 motoring out of control through rush-hour traffic on the Denver-Lincoln-Detroit highway.
For those just joining us: The Last of the V8s are back in full swing. for some a dream come true for some a reoccuring nightmare. For those new to the chaos, welcome. In 2001 The V8s released their first album "IT'S ON!" on KC label Shock Factory records with much local fanfair but before one speck of dust could settle the band was on the road touring the west coast and Canada sharing the stage with such acts as: Rocket From The Crypt, The Black Halos, Nashville Pussy, Mudhoney, Nebula, The Gaza Stippers and The Dragons and many others. The band continued to tour, members came and went but drummer Kriss Ward, guitarist Jay Zastoupil and singer Ryan Mattes remained the core of the band. In two short years and before releasing their second album the band broke up claiming artistic differences. Now 2006 the beast is back and it's pissed! With former Cretin 66 bassist Chico Thunder filling out the low-end the sound is more powerful, energetic and furocious than it ever before. Look out for the brand new release on Dead City records this summer. This bands very existence in a market driven by the most poisonous, bullshit trends is poignant in itself. Seeing them play live is like watching a band of Comanche warriors go to battle for the last time majestic and tragic. But I dont mean to sound dire about the V8s future. Theyll be playing shows at home in KC in the coming weeks, and maybe theyll go on tour and cut a record. This is a band we should be fucking thankful for. You cant put a price on rock that pure." - Jason Harper Pitch writer Kansas City.

WAYNE KRAMER Profile Ep71 pt2 KASR VIDEO Henry Rollins interviews guitarist Wayne Kramer and talks about his cd: The Hard Stuff.
(More) Henry Rollins interviews guitarist Wayne Kramer and talks about his cd: The Hard Stuff.
Kasrvnotebook: Kramer came to prominence in the late 1960s as a co-founder of the Detroit rock group MC5 (Motor City 5), a group known for their powerful live performances and radical left-wing political stance. The MC5 broke up amidst drug abuse and personal problems, leading to several fallow years for Kramer, who battled drug addiction before returning to an active recording and performing schedule in the '90s.
The MC5 played at Detroit's famous Grande Ballroom often and was managed by John Sinclair, a radical left-wing writer and co-founder of the White Panther Party, until 1970 when Jon Landau took over creative management of the group. After MC5's demise, Kramer spent several years committing crimes and battling drug addictions.
In 1975, he was caught selling cocaine to undercover federal agents and went to prison for over two years at the Lexington Federal Prison in Lexington, Kentucky. While incarcerated he met Red Rodney, the American jazz trumpeter who had played with Charlie Parker's quintet. They played together in the institution's Sunday chapel.
Upon his release from prison, he moved to New York City and briefly teamed up with Johnny Thunders. They formed the band Gang War. He also spent a large amount of the 1980s out of the music business. In 1994, he began a solo career and released numerous records, including 1995's The Hard Stuff, which was produced by Don Was, a former acquaintance from the late 1960s Detroit rock scene. Claw Hammer served as Kramer's backing band on The Hard Stuff. Kramer, along with the other surviving members of MC5, reformed in 1991 in a memorial concert for former lead singer Robin Tyner, who passed away from a heart attack. This sparked a reunion tour which spanned several years and included dates in Europe and America. They also recorded and played some shows with GG Allin. Wayne Kramer was also temporarily in the grunge band Mudhoney. He was recently interviewed for the VH1 show 'The Drug Years'.

"Don't expect a lot from this show." Was the unofficial motto of KASR VIDEO, which made a pleasant surprise when we actually knocked out a great show! The program was a weekly 2 hour public access offshoot of the Arizona State University's original alternative radio station that aired in Phoenix. The music video show featured rarely seen videos and "new" music not in the "main stream." Along with non-conventional interviews it became a decent way to nurse a hangover with the midnight party crowd. These clips are edited as a sort of best of; minus the music videos. (Less)
