GarageHangover.com shared information about The Aliens, a band from Westchester, NY. Steve Worthy provided some insight on this band, and the rivalry that existed between bands in Westchester: The Aliens were composed of Ray Marion on lead guitar and lead vocals (playing a Gibson cherry red ES335), Curt Meinel, bass (Hagstrom?), Glen Kane [...] Anyone that knows me knows I’ve been shooting video for many years. I’ve shot a lot of footage of a lot of different entertainers – musicians, poets, comedians, and friends. Certainly not everything is related to my big LOUIE project. While video production is my livelihood that provides me an occasional paycheck, I do create a lot of video for various musicians, simply because I love what they’re doing, and want to preserve certain special moments for posterity. I’ve got an extensive archive of footage that goes back for over twenty years. I do love YouTube. It’s a great chance to get the immediate gratification of sharing this material with others, and I love the idea of having friends all over the world appreciate what I’m doing. Today, I posted my 100th YouTube clip. It’s some previously-unseen video of one of favorite local San Jose bands from early 1990s- the Guttersluts, doing a medley of Spinal Tap songs, including a personal favorite, “Gimme Some Money.” Among guitar players, Jerry Miller is one of those guys that’s considered a living legend.

Jerry [...] This doesn’t direct tie directly into the LOUIE universe, but I figured anyone hip to the roots rock music circle that LOUIE is a part would appreciate this information.

Here’s a little video clip of the band performing LOUIE at the Café de Pinedo on [...] The recent death of Lux Interior of the Cramps still weighs heavily at LOUIE Central, as do more deaths than I care to think about. Some close friends of mine have also lost some dear people in their lives, and my heart goes out to them. At the LOUIE Party Yahoo Group, some of my pals weighed in on the legacy of Lux Interior. My friend Theo DeGrood of the Louie Louie Pages shared these words:
Chester Rocket of the UK chimed in with these thoughts…
KFJC alumni Stretch Riedle had these comments:
So today for the LOUIE of the Week, I’m acknowledging a Cramps version of LOUIE LOUIE that’s up on YouTube. Thanks to theeggman01 for sharing this one. The video itself is just a placeholder for the music, so don’t expect too much in terms of entertaining visuals on this one.
If you want to see more cool Cramps videos, that aren’t necessarily LOUIE-related, click below… Another rock star has left the building… Lux Interior, leader and singer of The Cramps died Wednesday morning (February 4) due to an existing heart condition, according to a statement from the band’s publicist. He was 62 years old. The Cramps were an American garage band that fused 70′s punk rock with 50′s [...] This week’s LOUIE of the Week is yet another archival rendition of the song. Twenty years ago, before David Letterman moved over to CBS, Paul Shaffer was the musical director for Late Night with David Letterman on NBC.
