efd's avatar View efd's profile Options

Every show starts with a cut from the ‘70s: Rediscovering the forgotten rockers, revisiting the once-hated disco beats, replaying the power-pop favorites. Next: copious amounts of new releases and occasional live bands. Also: I’m the biggest Nick Gilder fan on WFMU.

Options September 7, 2011: CUTE LEPERS live set!

Listen to this show: | Add or read comments

'77 punk might be the jumping off point for Cute Lepers -- there's even a song called "77" on their latest album -- but they take that sound and run with it, taking it to places that the Ramones and Heartbreakers never imagined. That new album, Adventure Time (1-2-3-4-Go!/Damaged Goods), is chock-full of catchy anthemic hits and is a cinch to place in the upper reaches of efd's 2011 Best Of list. They're touring extensively across the US, so try to see them when they play your town!

Ah, the smell of burning leather. Reminds me of, uh... you know.
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:20pm john:

Hey Evan! Awesome opening set....as soon as I think of something semi-cleverish to say about a song the next one's better....being eighteenish had its cool moments!
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:21pm cheri:

KILLER A-Wine track! Never heard that one and I'm a big fan!
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:25pm efd:

Ajax, there's another track on that same April Wine album that I bet a llot of people would think is That Petrol Emotion in a blind test.
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:30pm Stevel:

Dog is whining--will have to wait till the set is over.
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:32pm Carpet:

Wow, that April Wine is from 2006! I was gonna guess '74. Awesome.
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:37pm Ike:

Hey what's yr hip-hop theme song that played just before the back-announce, Evan? I haven't listened to the opening hour of any of your shows in a while -- is that new? It's extremely excellent.
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:38pm Stevel:

Carpet: You know the drill. Besides, the carpet cleaner is like a lovely massage, right?
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:39pm efd:

be right with you, Ike!
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:42pm efd:

OK - the intro song is by Adam Warrock, about whom you can find more info at http://adamwarrock.com

As a matter of fact he is currently on tour around the US; he'll be in the NYC area in early November.
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:44pm Danne D:

Hi Funk Fans. @Ike that's been Evan's theme for a while - ya gotta catch up on your first hours :)

This is a great live set, EFD.
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:44pm PB:

The third track sounded a lot like the legendary late-70s Aussie punk band The Saints (and that is a good thing).
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:46pm Richard from Venezuela:

Good evening Evan and all the listeners.
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:47pm cheri:

  Wed. 9/7/11 9:53pm Danne D:

Vegas was alright, Cheri. Nothing too exciting.
  Wed. 9/7/11 9:54pm Stevel:

Some very long (but amusing) song titles tonight.
  Wed. 9/7/11 10:23pm Joe D:

hearing this soft tags in the background while I edit this Mozart based Insane Clown Posse track is doing bad things to my head
  Wed. 9/7/11 10:23pm Joe D:

wait I sung what now
  Wed. 9/7/11 10:24pm Julie:

@Joe haha check the Lepers lineup
  Wed. 9/7/11 10:25pm efd:

Joe, it might not have anything to do with hearing Soft Tags in the background.

Also, check the credits for the Cute Lepers set.
  Wed. 9/7/11 10:25pm Julie:

Wait, Cheri can see me? Oh my, I look a fright!
  Wed. 9/7/11 10:26pm Joe D:

You have to admire them, playing underwater like that
  Wed. 9/7/11 10:38pm Stevel:

BTW: I really enjoyed the video preview of Cute Lepers. Video was great, especially given the vast open spaces of your studio.
  Wed. 9/7/11 10:40pm sleazeluver:

OMG the sleaze!!! we love the sleaze!!
  Wed. 9/7/11 10:44pm efd:

  Wed. 9/7/11 10:46pm Joe D:

  Wed. 9/7/11 10:56pm T-Zero:

Though I know the music, every time I see the name pigbag I expect bagpipes. lol
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:02pm Holly in NC:

I love bagpipes. And Bill Withers. So, all roads lead to Rahsaan!
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:04pm T-Zero:

Wait. Did efd just say pigbag is a New York group? I always thought they were Brits.
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:09pm Aharon:

  Wed. 9/7/11 11:30pm Michael from the Left Coast:

EFD--I learned something interesting this week--did you know Ray Davies and Bob Goldthwait were working on a Schoolboys in Disgrace project together? Interesting pairing (I'm a fan of both but would never imagined the two of them together)
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:31pm Holly in NC:

Drat.
But White Hills makes up for my loss.
What'd I lose, anyway?
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:32pm Vegas Oddsmaker:

Your virginity. :-P
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:33pm efd:

Michael, that is bizarre! I'm trying to imagine what that would have been like.
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:34pm T-Zero:

an episode of the Twilight Zone
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:36pm Holly in NC:

You took that bet? OK, *I* win ! ;-)
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:36pm Vegas Oddsmaker:

Dang.
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:37pm Holly in NC:

  Wed. 9/7/11 11:44pm Holly in NC:

DUDE! You have a palmetto bug! Flying cockroach, yes.
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:44pm Studio:

Officially renamed "Cockroach Terrace"
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:44pm efd:

seriously, I've seen cockroaches and palmetto bugs, and this was a different color and shape.
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:45pm Beetles:

We gotz a joizey accent, freakin palmetto bugs gotta suddern accent, yo.
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:45pm Holly in NC:

http://youtu.be/uQxo2j1UY2I

I mean.....really,,,,,
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:47pm Beetles:

holy shit, is dat real, or a little robot?
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:49pm Exterminator:

Roaches and beetles seek water, so until the studio drip is fixed and totally dried out, they will come around. Just sayin. Sometimes we tell people to dry their sinks at bedtime to help get rid of a roach issue.
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:52pm Holly in NC:

That's friggin' real. For pure grossness, check the side-barred video "praying mantis fishing for goldfish" - nor suitable for work, or the squeamish. GREAT to show vegetarian friends, however ! ;-) (sorry, sorry...)
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:53pm Holly in NC:

"Dry their sinks". Yeah, I've heard that before...
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:54pm Praying Mantis Chowing Down on Goldfish:

mmmm, free sushi....
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:58pm Holly in NC:

Excellent set Evan - yes, I am here for the music ! :-)
  Wed. 9/7/11 11:59pm G:

maybe efd finds bug grossness hitting a little close to home!
  Thu. 9/8/11 12:02am Danne D:

8( wait noah is going away? :(
  Thu. 9/8/11 12:02am Danne D:

  Thu. 9/8/11 12:03am Holly in NC:

WHAAAATTTT????
  Thu. 9/8/11 12:03am Danne D:

Thanks for a great show Evan!

Ugh for the good/bad news of Noah's impending move!
  Thu. 9/8/11 12:05am Nat the Parker:
