Welcome to episode two again featuring a mix of various mod, and ska, bands from the the 1980s. The Targets – Searching for a SceneThe Jetz – Moderns for a DayThe Idea – Our WayThe Untouchables – Ska ModsFishbone – Skankin’ to the BeatThe Untouchables – LebanonThe Question – Stare you DownThe Pandoras – Stop PretendingFor more info visit Mr. Suave's mod pages at http://www.mistersuave.com/mod.htmlIn closing out this episode I played the title track to the Pandora’s second full length LP “Stop Pretending” which was their best, and their most mod probably because lead Pandora Paula Pierce had originally recorded it with her previous --more really British mod-- band Action Now. There’s a good website for the Pandoras maintained by one of the band members -- www.juliepatchouli.com and she even has a video of an entire concert.Also, you can get Pandoras info at: http://www.bomp.com/2021Press.html.And you can get a remastered recording of their first LP, "It's About Time" at Amazon.com.Finally, there are some Untou

Welcome to episode 3 featuring garage revival bands. Lots of bands start in garages, but these bands all share a certain sound that can only be called sixties punk. They draw their influences from the sixties sounds of the likes of The Standells, The Seeds, The Sonics, The Count 5, Velvet Underground and The Kingsmen. But they also were influenced by the original punk rock scene of the late seventies such as the Ramones, Sex Pistols and New York Dolls. The garage rock bands featured in this episode are just the tip of the iceberg.The wikipedia probably has the definitive garage rock summary of the genre and an exhaustive list of links to garage bands and related info.  The Prisoners -- Better in Black Thee Headcoatees -- Don't Try and Tell Me Yard Trauma -- Some People Chesterfield Kings -- Are You Gonna Be There The Pandoras -- The Way It's Gonna Be Gravedigger V -- Spooky Cynics -- Waste of Time Fleshtones -- A Hand for the Bands Salvation Army -- Going Home Tell-Tale Hearts -- Won't Need Yours  Un

Welcome to episode #5 dedicated to power pop. Power pop has always had a starring role in the mod scene, so this week I've put together a list of various different power pop songs that embody the sound, from the bands that influenced so many mods -- to rockers of all other stripes. Take a gander at this interesting video from Malaysian power pop group, Couple.  Prisoners--Vapors Apologies--Pointed Sticks  Whatever Happened To Thamesbeat--Times  Jessie's Girl--Rick Springfield  One Way Ticket--Nerves  Walking Out On Love--Breakaways (Paul Collins) Everyday Things--Plimsouls  What I Like About You--The Romantics  Moods for Moderns--Elvis Costello  Every Word Means No--Let's Active International Pop Overthrow--Material Issue  Cruel To Be Kind--Nick Lowe Cool For Cats--Squeeze Be sure to check out my website at www.mistersuave.com.

So, here are a few current mod tracks.There are a lot of mod styled bands playing these days, so this is just a little taste of what's out there if you look around. Enjoy.

I started this modcast in part because it seemed to me that a lot of great mod bands from the original Southern California scene of the 80s never got their due. My first few shows were dedicated to sharing the music of some those bands and then it just sort of grew from there. Remember back in 2006 the internet was still in its infancy really. Napster had opened up digital music in the 90s, but it still wasn't easy to find music by bands like these online. You couldn't just type their name in google and have a complete playlist wash over you.  So, I thought I'd share what I had. I had digitized a lot of my mod catalog a few years before that and so I had the mp3s and could share them. And now here we are 500 shows later.  I gotta tell you after doing this show for 15 years, this modcast is really the first love letter to myself. I've collected some of my favorite artists and a few of my favorite songs, fitting them all into a strange little theme that Mrs. Suave came up with.  I struggled to figure out a good

It's the end of the season, the pennant race is on, the fall classic is looming. So, of course I had to call up some ringers to talk baseball and music. First up is DJ Ken from The Shingles, and batting cleanup is none other than Vista Blue front man, Mike Patton. All baseball related songs of course, and a few of baseball's greatest play calls as well. As always find a complete track list, bonus videos, and all the important links to all the important stuff over on the modcast homepage at http://www.mistersuave.com/2021/09/modcast-494-triple-play.htmlAnd keep up with me between modcasts:Twitter - https://twitter.com/mistersuaveFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/modmodworldInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrrobsuave/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7GRj5El2drXcG7sPay6BWv?si=Vq4MIa56Sm6MryFjStlMwwSubscribe  with iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mr-suaves-mod-mod-world/id154325887Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World.

You know the artists but do you remember these tracks? I've got deep cuts from the back catalogs of some of our favorite bands on this week's show. These are the songs that often get forgotten, or overshadowed by the bigger hits.  We all know their hits, everyone knows their popular albums, and the true fans will know a lot of the back catalog for all the bands here, I'm sure.  But I'm guessing even those diehards don't play many of these tracks very often.  As always find a complete track list, bonus videos, and all the important links to all the important stuff over on the modcast homepage at http://www.mistersuave.com/2021/09/modcast-493-diver-down.html.And keep up with me between modcasts:Twitter - https://twitter.com/mistersuaveFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/modmodworldInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrrobsuave/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7GRj5El2drXcG7sPay6BWv?si=Vq4MIa56Sm6MryFjStlMwwSubscribe  with iTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mr-suaves-mod-mod-world/id154325887M
