Dear Pat:

I do a radio show for low power/internet station in Los Angeles: KHUG.rocks. I love your work. My show is a pre-recorded hour. I can send you a sample show if you wish. Sometimes I focus on one artist (JJ Cale, The Tubes, The Alice Cooper Group—week after played Caroline Wheeler’s Birthday Present😉) and I am going to soon do an hour on TJB. If any chance I could email you some questions would love to then read your answers on air. Have also done rock journalism off and on since I was 15 fyi.

Anyway longshot but never hurts to ask. Really love your work and have turned many fellow Angelenos and friends onto it. Have played on air Shakey, Devil, Jungle, YoYo, CWBP and Roadrunner.

Hope you are healthy after health scare in recent years. You do great stuff.

Best

Hi Patrik, The album that you have was recorded live at Onkel Po's Carnegie Hall, Hamburg (yes, really!) on 16th August 1985. Released by SPV, a German label. It was a very enjoyable gig, but the record didn't come out particularly well, in my opinion. Best regards, Pat x

Hey, I got a vinyl record from my parents a few days ago. They were looking for Joy Division but got something called Jazz Butcher, and that's how I ended up here. The record is called "Jazz Butcher Live Hamburg". It isn't mentioned anywhere on the Internet and I feel like you might know something. If you want photos send an email :)

Olof Palme
Bluesbaruch... - Bryan, Californis - 25May2021 5:58 PM
  #295/299
Olof Palme was a great man and the Jazz Butcher's song about him was a great song. WT holy living F is going on with that song? You can find lyrics online, but absolutely no links to recordings, performances, videos, nothing. Is there something going on with the rights? A legal fight? Or is socialism still such a nasty word in the US that it's been culturally erased? I have the lyrics and I play it busking. I think it's such a culturally important song, it needs to be household familiar and played far and wide. I'm gonna keep playing it. I'm so poor I'm judgement proof, so sue me. Be my guest. It needs to be heard.

Hi! Really want to say how much I’ve enjoyed the music over
the years! Grew up in Winnipeg, introduced to the JBC by
Brave New Waves, on the CBC radio. Saw you in concert in
88 or 89 when you came through on tour. Constantly
somewhere on my playlists. My kids sing along to the songs
as well! Thanks for being a meaningful part of my musical life!

Just cranked, very loudly, the Glass/Cartel vinyl 45 of Groovin in the bus lane and Hard on my insane audiophile system here in Brentwood (Los Angeles)CA. I was strutting around my house like a rooster in heat.
I have been listening to the Butcher since about '83. Saw them Many times on any tour that came within 1000 miles of me. Last show was Mercury Lounge NYC I think in early 2000s. Met Pat on several occasions. An honor.
It's hard to overstate the joy that your (and Max's) music has brought, and still brings to me over almost 40 years later. I have almost all of the original vinyl. I won't listen on CD. Just isn't the same.
Your songwriting craft and wit put you among the best in the rock and roll tradition. IMHO.
Thanks Pat. For the gift of your genius.

Just listened to Sun Is Still Sunny. Damn. Great cover choice. You can still kick me hard in the feelings when you want to Fishy! Tasty stuff.

By the way, I'm still holding you to that promise of a set of those rare tunes that I need in cd quality. I bought and devoured the two box sets (Violent and Wasted years) - loved to hear those wonderful songs again - and the liner notes brought a smile and a tear! But I need many of your lesser known gems available in high quality sound!

Thanks for all the gifts over the years. I still listen to your music often and it is a touchstone and comfort in time like these! Good heath and happiness to you sir! My wallet will always be willing to part with its contents whenever you have more beautiful tunes. to offer!

  #284/299
Was looking through your website and noticed you didn't have links to reviews at the AllMusic website for your albums. The ones there are generally very positive, so you might want to do so. I wrote some of them, so I should know... BTW, love most of your stuff I've encountered (though have only heard through "Cult of the Basement"), with "Scandal in Bohemia" being my favorite -- truly fine stuff. Here's a link to that review:

https://www.allmusic.com/album/a-scandal-in-bohemia-mw0000017476

You might be aware of them, but if not, you may want to take a look. Best wishes!

Wasted Years CD's
johnnybrew... - John Hall (Indianapolis) - 12Jan2018 1:49 PM
  #283/299
I am curious if the Wasted years re-issue have been remastered/remixed or whatever. I already own all these discs, though my copy of Big Planet/Scarey Planet has a very annoying skip during one of the songs. I also thought the vocal tracks on that album were a little muddy or surpressed.

Always happy to send some cash Pats way. His music has lifted my life for over a quarter century. (That's Big Scary).

Pat, I am the same brewer from Chicago you met on the 2000 tour. Still brewing and playing your music in the brewery every chance I get.

Hi Pat,

Just wondering if you have written any songs about the fiascoes happening in Washington DC? I think you would be the perfect laureate to comment on these dark days. I read this morning that press secretary Sean Spicer was hiding in the bushes to try to avoid reporters. Alas, it has come to this!

What are the chances of visiting a Jazz Butcher memoir upon the literary world?

Is this something that you might consider undertaking either as a solo project, or perhaps collectively/collaboratively with your fellow and former conspirators?

I reckon that this would make for an entertaining and enlightening read, and possibly another great crowd-funded project.

Great news on your deal with Fire. Better a deal with Fire than to play with it. Long time fan, and while my CD version of GENTLEMAN ADVENTURERS will do, I am so happy that your stuff will soon be available once again -- that once the re-releases happen. I guess I'll have to take down my duplicate CD copy of FISHCOTHEQUE from Amazon, which is posted at $100+. THAT'S how happy I am.

Looking forward to a new record from you.

Wonderful news! I had a lot of fun in the past hunting down your out of print CD's through E-Bay. I would have rather given the money directly to you. Any re-mastering or re-mixing planned? Always loved "Big Planet, Scarey Planet", but thought it sounded a little 'muddy'. Pardon the technical jargon. Can't wait to put some cash in your coffers.

You may well long have known this - if so sorry for repetition and for ‘re-bringing’ old bad news – but I only just learned that KB Mensah died on NY Eve in Ghana. I see he's mentioned somewhere on this site, as an old school/college friend of several JB-linked musicians.

He and I had remained good friends, though latterly only getting together occasionally, when we were both in London (he’d been living back in Ghana for some years) – he always made a real effort to stay in touch.

So many good (albeit, from the earliest days, often stoned) memories of him, so often revolving also around music, from listening to reggae and jazz in his Oxford rooms to going together, later, in London to hear everything from Louis Moholo and other visiting Africans to various latterday manifestations of the Institution/Random Hold/Jazz Butcher ‘family’… I wish the attached could show, and let me hear again, his laugh.

Lads

I confess, I had no small amount of trepidation approaching the new record. Indeed, I've had it in my possession for a year and I just completed the third listening.

Since the JBC hits me on a basic emotional level (even the funny stuff, always has done), I worry about the releases from my favorite artists as I age exponentially. It's not doubt, it's just wondering where this communique will fit in the cupboard of things near and dear to me. Either there's less space in there, or there are more items in store than I'd care to admit.

I needn't have worried. This is a wonderful record. I'll spare you my nonsense re: what I like and why.

Thanks for realizing you had another one in you and getting it out the door.

Just wanted to follow up on the invitation for The JBC to play at Calgary's well respected High Performance Rodeo. I am not a good friend of Michael (though we have met a few times) but I have attended many events at The High Performance Rodeo and at One Yellow Rabbit theatre and can vouch for the wonderful festival and concur that you would be a wonderful fit. I have sent several messages on this board requesting for you guys to return to Calgary for a live show or two. This might be the best way and venue to make it happen. Please bring Max with you! I enjoyed your last couple of shows here in town but it has been way too long and we need you back! Love the new album!

My brother's mix
msclafani... - Mike from Bronx, NY - 23Jan2014 5:49 PM
  #258/299
So twenty-one years ago, my brother passed away. When going through his things, I found a mix tape of great songs with no tracklisting. It took me twenty-one years, but I finally identified the last two songs: Olof Palme, and the up-tempo version of Southern Mark Smith that appears on Gift of Music.

Unfortunately, I cannot find a digital version of either song. Is there anyone who can help me? I'm more than willing to pay. This would be of great emotional importance to me.

I've had La Mer 2012 on constant repeat (along with the "The Last of The English Gentleman" and the recently acquired Curtis E Johnson's "The Compleat Unknown"). Adding a little spice into the Xmas festivities. An utterly unexpected and absolutely marvelous surprise treat for the holiday season! Happy to New Year to all!!

My children are 8 and 10, girl and boy respectively. My wife sings with a chorus on Monday nights, so I'm with them exclusively those evenings. This past Monday I told them if they brushed their teeth and got ready for bed extra quickly, I'd play them a special song. They raced through their evening ritual and came down to the living room, whereupon I played "Love Kittens" at a substantial volume. (This song drives their mother up the wall, you understand, so I can only play it on Mondays when she's gone.) They laughed out loud, danced around the room, and mimed the saxophone solo. Then they asked me to play it again and again, trying to keep up with the introductory "meows" and pantomiming "only six inches tall..." A great time was had by three. Thought you'd like to know you brought quite a lot of joy to two little kids.

Thanks for all the music.

In the 80s I was a field geologist in the wilds of Northern Canada where your music, particularly Partytime, saved our little group of explorers from killing our boss and/or going completely batty. I thank you for that, but I never got a chance to see you play in person.
The new CD is amazing and I finally found a way to order Sumosonic and Waiting for the Love Bus. Happy days!

Pat,
Wanted to a) thank you again for pulling together an amazing night tonight. Liams beautiful, breathy melodies were a revelation, and I will be looking him up when I can. And David J has no doubt been on and off the majority of tonight's attendees record players/ tape decks/ cd players/ mp3 thingies for the past 30 years. When you think you know what to expect from someone you have grown up with, you get hit with an extraordinary show, such as was put on tonight, marvellously accompanied by Michael Berg. and b) I wanted to apologise for nicking off after you kindly went to find me a cd! I did lurk about for a while, until the call of nature took over both of us. Feel bad now for incurring you unneccesary postage costs! If you are ever passing, do pop it through the letter box, or better still..... pop in for a brew.
THANKS again for organising tonight. A very special night for everyone in attendance!!!

The "Jazz Butchers" appear to be a young, serious jazz band from the Los Angeles area. I believe that they have one album out at the moment. I also believe that the first of "our" Jazz Butcher records was almost certainly released before any of the members of this jazz band were actually born. So I'm rather looking forward to an irate letter from their management, asking us to change our band name.

We shall see...

HiPat,
Best of luck with the new release, I looked for it on Amazon today, hoping maybe the CD'S were hitting the rack.
While there I found something by a group called " The Jazz Butchers", I clicked on the 1st MP3 sample, it's some jazz-rock fission thing.
Are you aware of this group? Are they compensating you for the use of the name? What gives?

Alright, Gentlefolks, it's finally here THE JAZZ BUTCHER CONSPIRACY - LAST OF THE GENTLEMAN ADVENTURERS and I can't believe no one has commented here on the new album yet! I guess it has only been a few days but still, it has been on constant rotation (house, auto, bus, train, and on foot) with this individual since it's groundbreaking launch at 4pm PST Oct 18, 2012 and I must add, "It's quite the perfect album, indeed!" After 30 years Pat, Max and co. have pulled out all the stops to bring us what can simply and truly be called the album Of The Year!! I've been in contact with all the usual JBC fan conspirators and I know they'll agree...do yourselves a tremendous favor and pick yourselves up a copy or 3!! Pat & Max are already gearing up for a few gigs in Japan in early Dec.!! Let's see what we can do about bringing them west across the pond for a little North American action!!! To the future kind Gentlefolks. with much Love & Respect, ~Jim

Dear JB,
Discovered you via LA radio KXLU late 80s. Bought Hey America I Slept Your Wife LP. Genius. Been listening to my cassette i taped off elpee of Planet. What a MASTERPIECE.

Just ordered and received (took me few decades to catch up sorry) Condition Blue, Glorioius and more. Put CB on and heard Shes a YoYo for first time. WOW. As exhilarating a pop song as i have ever heard up there with i Got A Line on you by SPirit. Played it 15 times today. No kidding. Somehow missed tours. 53 year old Hollywood exec in LA. You should be opening for Stranglers (Giants in more ways than one) next tour.

Anyway just wanted to say f-ing great music. The Devil Is My Friend indeed.

Looking for glass era cds (I know I am not alone)

  #230/299
Howdy Folks!
I am a longtime JBC fan. I had the great pleasure of seeing Pat and friends several times here in Canada. Good times. I am also a big music collector and though I spend a great deal of time snooping the corners of the internet and cd shops all over the world I am still without a CD of In Bath Of Bacon, Big Questions Gift of Music vol 2 and the live Hamburg glass era cds. I NEED them in my collection on cd. I have them on vinyl and have ripped them to cd but it just ain't the same. I have plenty of extra rare JBC to trade ( an extra Scandal In Bohemia / Sex and Travel glass era CD in mint) plus a ton of extra rare jbc vinyl. It is criminal that this wonderful music is largely out of print. Anyone want to trade or sell me the goodies I need. Mr. Fish, is there no chance of future re-issues? Also while I am voicing my sob stories, why has Grooving In The Bus Lane (Bloody Nonsense version) been released on cd? Anywho, I just thought I would express my love for all eras of Jazz Butcher material and throw in a rude complaint or two. Can't wait to hear more new stuff. I have Max's recent cds as well as the new Pat tracks on the Northhampton cd, but do sign me up for more new cds and I would like to second someone else's suggestion of a fan funded project. That might be the way to get reissues off the ground too. Don't ask mw what I paid for some of my glass era cds on ebay. Yikes!!!!
Cheers All,
Rich

As for the recording of the 1999 show at Crocodile Club in Seattle (I think that's what you're asking for when you refer to the 2000 reunion tour CD), I'd be happy to make a copy and send it to you. Please post some way I could contact you (email address would be easiest).

Well said, Iian.

Wow. All that (and years later mind you) from a comment off myspace? Of your band? Whew, I highly advise you against anything having to do with entertainment industry or public criticism in general, sir.

It's a losing battle, and with that being said, yes, "Good luck, with that lad."


....ok, so, now back to the more pertinent subject at hand. I also am famished for New material since "Now That's What I Call Northampton Vol. 1". Whaddya say, Pat? Looking forward to the Wilson DVD! Shall we be on the look out for "Now That's What I Call Northampton Vol. 2"? Or a Pat Fish album perhaps? Time will tell.

Cheers, Pat! And to the New Barcelona!!

joiain67... - Iain Nottingham - 16Jan2012 11:28 AM

I know that Pat is more than capable of composing his own defence, but I am pleased to see that the passage of 'a few years' and the discovery that his critic was responsible for a 'load of boring old dad rock' has helped the author of the Last Post to get over said criticism (if saying 'good luck with that lads' can be called criticism...) and move on with his life. Seems to slightly miss the point too that without Pat, who knows whether his (and probably most of ours too) beloved Spacemen 3 would ever have made it out of Rugby.

Anyway, pleased to see that he was at least brave enough to name his band too, so we could check them out...err no he didn't.

Anyway Pat, please update us on album plans, for those who can't wait for a lot more 'truly w**k' genius.

A few years back when MySpace was popular my band mate posted a comment on someone's page maybe it was The Mirrors and you didn't like it so made a disparaging remark about my band something to the effect of "good luck with that lads". Years later I'm reading a Spacemen 3 book and I finally find out who you are so I come to your website to listen to your music and I have to say what a bunch of boring old dad rock. It is truly wank. Why the hell a band as cool as Spacemen 3 ever let someone like you hang around them is beyond me. I would put the music from that old band up against yours any day.

I'm not sure if this is the forum for such a request (or if it's feasible), or if there is another list?

Anyone globally can pledge to Kickstarter projects, but creating a project currently requires a U.S. bank account. All you need is someone in the US who is willing to lend a hand.

(Like, oh I dunno...me.)

Also, peoplefund.it is a UK-based Kickstarter like-a-look, but it only takes UK contributions for the moment.

IndieGoGo.com is international, but they charge 4% according to their FAQ

Well then: is it Christmas Eve there yet? Brain/time malfunction here. A very happy and into the new year to you and your family and friends. Good grief, I'm listening to "Illuminate", which made me think I could possibly make contact on my shiny new laptop. Perhaps it will work. Here's hoping.....

Thanks for the tunes, Pat. I hope that doesn't sound flip. I was telling a friend a few months ago that I could (and will) happily listen to your music, desert island or not, for the rest of my life. It makes me feel: good, thoughtful, angry, connected,... and who doesn't need that? To that end, if funding for a new album is still pending/wanting;trying, please keep advised. Perhaps global fan funding is possible. Could you, or possibly fans, create a sort of co-op, without too much red tape?

Anyways, here's withing you and yours the very best happiness, health and desired success for 2012. I look forward to learning more. Until then, take good care.

Still not sure. I recently imagined that I hooked up with a former co-worker at a record store, and remembered a bit of music from that time. Yours was at the forefront, for what that's worth.
Now I'm most assuredly not sure, but I am 'happy' I guess, that the man whose tunes I continue to dial up(not Itune-wise,etc.-I still use a walkman!)has a forum. Thanks for maintaining the idea that kick-ass rock can sulk, and rage, and kick ass, and love, and regret, and pilfer one's own soul for a time, all the while kicking ass for some reason.

Please tell me if the I-tune thing would be the better way for yourself financially. You need to thrive more.

I typed the red word into the box, but I'd still like the hose again. Rock n' Roll, I guess!

Hey Pat!
44 days and 27 minutes after the last bloke...

I'm living in old Europe these days--in Dortmund, the
Pittsburgh of Germany. Took a job causing a ruckus at the local
Stadt Theater. Woyzeck, Threepenny Opera and other teutonic
classics.
Anyway--I've imported my music salon, Small Beast. We also do
Hamburg and Berlin. I think Thomas T. might have mentioned to
you my cockamany idea for conjuring up the non-existent
supergroup reunion of Marcus Maria Jansen, Thomas, you and
me for a few shows. Now might be that moment. Or Spring
2012, anyway--if we can all plan that far ahead. It'd be perfect
for my beastliness.
Get in touch Butcher! Tell me what ya think.

He seemed to like the venue, under the arches down on the seafront. Wanted to know how old the place was.

It's all about being in the moment, enjoying the little things...

Are you gonna get to see him in London?

Of course I saw Mercy on YouTube long ago but I've left off previewing the other tracks so it will be the first time when my Northampton compilation arrives via post. Can't wait for Shame About You and Shakey to make it out too. Keep up the good work.

Unless monitoring this site hour by hour, it is hard to get any
warning for the upcoming gigs...while that can be very
rock'n'roll, its equally impractical. And since somewhere this all
must be part of some master plan anyhow...

Specifically, since you might (not?) wonder what would be
helpful, 5 days notice on the next London show (this fall?)
would do..or Brussels beer garden show...or both

And while we're at it, how bout The Devil is My Friend download?
Can't figure out how to lift it off YouTube

Hello Pat
Its been and age since we met, probably some time in the mid or late 80s. As an excuse to say hello I'll use the co-incidence that I have the honour to be the eminence gris behind the recent revival of Ratliffe's Celebrated Stout and its parent company, Phipps NBC, the insipration behind the name of Tom Hall's band. I see you are also a fan and champion of this Northampton musical legend, so I simply salute you and your taste, as ever. I was looking for a simple email address for you but hope this will find you via some convoluted method, Cheers my dear Alaric x

Hello Pat,

Saw you with David J at the Derngate in the early eighties when I lived in Northampton. When I moved to Nottingham with my only Jazz Butcher Single I started to go to Rock City. Got to know the DJ and made him play your single which then got played every week (lost that one). All these years later I am still listening and want to thank you for years of enjoyment. That night inspired me to play bass guitar (of a fashion)

Thanks

Tim

Great to see your new songs! You're a massive talent and we're still looking forward to your best work. Don't let the grind of daily life or the weight of nostalgia keep you from doing what you do best. Keep punching! Looking forward to your new gems.

Just got myself organised with replacing a lot of my old vinyl with CDs - moved house and finally had room for the turntable again after 10 years, only to find it's wrecked. Spent last night bouncing round the house to old favourites from the very early days on the Draining the Glass CD.

Do you remember the Tube fiasco back in early '86? I'm the excitable student who ended up on your guest list because my parents were talking to yours at a party in Tiffield and knew I was a fan... I remember a couple of gigs at the Roadmender around that time too, great fun and my strict parents were quite happy to let me out to play because they were under the strange impression that you were respectable!

Glad to see you're still out there, I'll keep an eye out for gigs (although these days I'll need a babysitter!).

Hi Pat

Please keep me informed of what you are up to.
I don't know your music. I'm not only a great lover of jazz but I'm also a slightly removed relation of yours; my grandfather, Vernon Guy, is, I believe, your father Wilfred's brother. I've heard much about your side of the family but I've never got to meet any of you. Last I heard of you directly was through through a schoolmaster of mine at Tonbridge twenty years ago, ....blah,blah (Mr to us), something Sweitzer... who asked me if I was related to you and said he knew you from university( Oxford, perhaps?).
I'll make a point of looking your work up; forgive my not knowing much about you but besides five years at boarding school and a couple of years at the Bartlett, UCL, I've grown up and lived mostly in Latin America and Southern Europe.
Get back to me if you feel like it at: oliverhuntrods[at]-remove-hotmail.com

Hi All,
From the moment I saw JB play at Glastonbury many, many years ago I was hooked. Did see you guys play around Hammersmith a few years later and it was great. For years I've been searching for a vinyl copy of "Live in Hamburg" and found one last week in excellent condition.
One mystery I'd loveto know is that once at a party in Tower Bridge I came across a girl who was Caroline Wheeler and knew you guys. Was a bit shy and wouldn't go into details too much. Could have been a wind up but I don't think so. Would love to know the connection to the lift with a fish in it and what it was all about! Andy

So, is there *anywhere* to buy or beg an mp3 of 'The Devil is My Friend'? Fifteen years ago in Houston, the spunkiest, sexiest Lone Star girl there ever was bought the album, and she and her closest friends started many a famous evening with a rousing sing-a-long. Well she's getting hitched in February and I aim to tie up the DJ while I patch it in on my iPod, if I can find the dang thing. The aftermath may make national headlines.

You know, we did think about this. A fellow in Canada even contacted us, offering to help sort a date or two. I think we scared him off with demands for stupidly serious amounts of money. But it's not as though you American guys wouldn't come, right? Hell, you could even forget to go home and fit in some good old fashioned draft dodging. All together now...It's one, two three, what are fighting for?

Hi Pat & Defunct maillist-
taking it all in, what about a Canadian date? Its a way to still move about without falling under GW's nonsense. Yeah, I've never been; but not only do I get the feeling that they would make for a fantastic host, but I would even imagine we could add Cohen in the mix- given a solid date and some ground work. Double bill, Toronto? Think on that?

Got to write in and say what a great gig Pat and Max played at the Lumiere on the 14th! Only found out about it hours before from a friend who's got a relative in Scarlett's Well. Last saw the Butcher live about 20 years ago in Dingwalls, and a little solo gig with a sax player in some dodgy pub in Kings Cross. Last night was waaaay better! Great to see you on such stinking form, and sorry if I made Max jump when I grabbed him after the show to tell him what a genius he is!
Thanks for a top set! Lots of new songs (for me, anyway). Any chance of the setlist so I can track them down?

Hello everybody, it's me. On a tip-off from Rolo I have just discovered that there is a JBC myspace site. Before the rush starts, I need to say this.
Somebody else has set this thing up, not me. So I have no way of communicating with anybody who tries to contact me or the band via this site. To those who have already become friends and who have received no reply, my apologies, but I didn't even know that this was going on until today. I am not currently a member of the MySpace community in any way, though I have recently been considering dipping my toe in. Now this comes along.

I have no idea who is behind it, but I would be very grateful if they would stop what they are doing and talk to me. Now, please.

(Side note: I agree with your comment about getting into
America. It is paranoid and unreasonable.)

Andy is in the process of putting the tapes onto dvd, so if you want one, then er.....let us know. I've sent on an email via Mark Refoy, who may pass the email onto you anyway. otherwise, i'm sure you may be able to get the address from this thing somehow.

Just thought i would put this on the main web page. Leighton Cousins


remember seeing the Celebrated Ratcliffe Stout Band on two occassions in the early eighties at the Arts Centre in Builth Wells, Powys, Wales.

At the second gig, unfortunately the audience was probably no more than a dozen. This did not deter or upset Tom however. After a couple of numbers he walked off the stage and simply invited us all to join him in the bar, where we all had a fantastic evening joining in as he sang and played his eclectic range music which was individual as the man himself.

I still have the two vinyl albums I bought that night. Tom signed them and drew a small caricature of him sinking a pint, plus the words "I like a nice pint". A great man and musician.

Stay forever on the Brightlit Pier.

In the Feb. '05 issue of Mojo magazine, there is a feature about Creation Records on page 130.

There, on the left hand side of the photo collage, are three darkly clad figures that bear a vague resemblance to: David J, Max Eider, and the Jazz Butcher himself (on a bad-hair day). Even though that is not the Creation-era line up, I wonder if that is our beloved JBC?

Anyone else see this?

As usual, there is no mention at all of Creation's greatest signing...oh well, Butch, there ain't no justice in the world.

Hey there, Curtis fiends...We here at the JBC aren't actually involved with Curt's recording output (except when he lets us in the studio to mess his shit up). For release info you need to contact Floating World Records, or check out Curt's own website, which you can reach via the links page on this site. For what it's worth, he mentioned to me the other day that he is working on an EP at the moment, but I have no idea when it's coming out. Best, Pat

Well, if the '80s Jazz Butcher sounded like anyone else, I think Robyn Hitchcock or the Television Personalities might be a LITTLE closer to the mark. New Order? Nah - really don't see it. At all.

Sigh, I'm still trying to get over another Ebay failed attempt. Who on earth paid $180 for a CD of "Big Questions" or $170 for "In Bath of Bacon"? Who has that kind of money!?! There HAS to be a better way. I guess that's what comparatively cheap vinyl is for.

Still think the serios Creation era stuff is the best, and "Waiting For the Love Bus" will remain my favorite. I wish Pat, Max & co. continued success.

Smiths? New Order?
www.matthewfogel.blogspot.com... - wemgadge! - 14Oct2004 7:25 AM
  #70/299
Both Pat and Max have at times sounded
reminiscent of Bernard and Morrissey, but they
have always had there own unique style.

If I were to make a comment on the later
incarnation of the JBC (say, Waiting for the Love
Bus era) I would cite Stereolab, Spiritualized
and The Blue Aeroplanes as closer influences...
(though I suspect that Pat has partied with these
fine gentlefolk on occasion)

Cheers Pat and the rest of the Conspiracy... I
wish you all well and continued success with
Wilson!

Sound quality is great, with the exception of a pop at the beginning of side 1. I'm trying to figure out how to rip this LP into my computer so I can finally have the CD I have been waiting for these past 18 years. It's really unreal that this thing is not available yet. What is the deal? Brilliant album.

The Butcher? Naah. Never met him personally, although he did provide the soundtrack to my growing up years in New Orleans. Rather liked the tunes - sort of witty. The kind of music you want to listen to with your friends, and then punch them. Haw Haw - a good time, that! Wish I could replace my poor worn tape copy of Bloody Nonsense with a shiny new CD, and I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Quit hiding out in the HM's back yard - we need music in Auburn, and I can almost guarantee you would survive to play another day.

A fine idea but an opportunity lost. It must be irritating to get other people's tracklisting suggestions but I won't let that stop me.
Given that 'Fishcotheque' is pretty much unavailable in CD format I would have liked to have seen a heavier inclusion of some of its finest moments i.e. Most of side 1 and 'Susie'.
Also 'Sweet Water' and 'Whaddya' are conspicuous by their absence. Never mind, it still means that a CD release of 'Fishcotheque' is a viable proposition for someone. (or did I miss it?)

I have had the great pleasure of listening to your music for the past (Holy Christ!) 15 years. Most recently, I had the "dream-come-true" honour of sharing the dinner table and beer with you and the band at a friend's wedding you performed at in Pacific Grove California some years ago (fear the Iron Maiden!) Again, I apologise for the chorous pedal comment.
I thought you may or may not find it amusing that my twin 13 month old boys are great JBC fans (no thanks to my poor recreations on guitar and laughable vocals.) Their favourite song thus far is "Mr. Odd." Ever consider an alternate career? Look out wiggles...

I'm trying to get The Tigerlillies to play a gig at Roadmender... not sure exactly how or when, as they are out on tour at the mo... but would you be interested in a support slot if we got them here? It may be next year, but there IS a possible slot on 24th November if you are free... but it's a slim chance.

If not then... maybe another time?

Now that Joe Strummer's done it, maybe it's time for Pat to sellout. I'm sure liquor companies would line up for the chance to use "Partytime", and ya can't help but think that the folks at Carlsberg would love to use "Soul Happy Hour", to point out a couple of the obvious ones.

My apologies if this sounds like one of Kasey Kasem's long-distance dedication intros...

Several years ago I posted a message on this site. A friend of mine, with whom I'd lost touch after college, saw the email address and contacted me. We have both been JBC fans since high school.


Anyway, we renewed our friendship and subsequently I met the gal who is now my wife through him and his wife. We were married a little more than a year ago and "Whaddya" was one of the songs played during the festivities.


If it hadn't been for the JBC and this site we might never have met. Thanks, Pat, for all the great songs over the years.

I used to champion The JB, particularly Distressed Gentlefolk back when I programmed a Northern Maine college station. The "what the hell is this" response never failed to stun me. Surely, I thought, the genius of Domestic Animal, Buffalo Shame, Still In The Kitchen and Who Loves You Now was something to be beloved by millions. But somehow I was wrong. All these years later, I'm still wrong, and glad of it. Had such gems become multi-platinum best-sellers, t'would have been a sure sign The New Jerusalem had already descended and time would be no more. Though I've literally had no luck whatsoever finding anyone off-line who's heard of JB and I've never been able to locate DG on CD, the songs have stuck in my head for nearly fifteen years, taking up the space that otherwise would be filled up with Christina Aguilera or some such thing. For that I'm forever grateful.

I used to love the JBC with a religious-like zeal while in school, but all those vinyl albums have been lost through a series of house and country moves. While i still have some stuff on CD, just looking through this site made me remember almost too much. I can remember the lyrics to "Poisoned by Food", for instance. How sick is that? It was 18 years ago! Then, just glancing at some of the pages, I finally learned what the lyrics of "Who loves you now" are. Now, how sick are they?!?! At least I managed to grow up without becoming too polluted by these glorious tunes. Will definitely be at the next JBC gig in London, whenever that is. And, if at all possible, please play "What's the matter, boy". I've selected it for my funeral, to be sung by the entire congregation.

Some years back, I saw the JBC play at Maxwells in the US, and they played a very funny song with a slavic flavour, called, I think, "Moscow Drug Club". Anyone know if this song ever found its way to the recording studio??

Scandal in Bohemia / Sex and Travel two-fer cd

Hello butcher fans!

I found an extra copy of the Scandal in Bohemia / Sex and travel two-fer cd. It has some surface scratches but play perfectly (I tried it on several machines) It took me ten years to find the first copy and I know how frustrating it was trying to find it the first time. If anybody has any tasty rare things or excellent quality live recordings I'd love to trade. I could be persuaded to sell it as well.
Cheers

Rich

Not asking for anything immediate. Not asking anything at all, really. Yet, I guess the subject demanded otherwise.

I can't help but feel that you felt a kinship with him, and intuitively shared an insight into music that most don't, and continue to don't understand. That and he was my favorite Beatle.

I'm afraid punters in dear old Rugby town have never really understood the concept of paying over the £3 mark for a gig in the town, it's just one of those things. It's just lucky that Pat and the boys were just really up for the gig on a booze and food basis that I managed to pull the show together. A full room was what I was after and that's kinda what we got. Anyway, what can I say really I just loved the show. Curtis was as cracking as ever, local buddies The Moths were just fantastic in there own groovy garage punk way, and the JBC..... well I just smiled a lot! I thought the guys played superb, they were an absolute pleasure to deal with, and I think they drove back to Northampton pretty happy. Oh yeah and you should of heard Girlfriend in the soundcheck! Years of love you guys, Johnny P.....

I'd heard of the JBC Charity, but was fortunate to benefit from it last night. I was one of the 60/70 lucky enough to actually find the Regency Club in Rugby. £2.50 for Curtis's set would have been a bargain, but throw in a fine performance from The Moths (?) (great drummer!) and a cracking set from the Butcher Band.... well, I feel we might have robbed you!
From the sedate opening chords of Partytime, through the speeded up Friendly Spaceman and on to the magnificent versions of Sweet Jane and Skinheads (with help from Curtis)... every second was a joy.
By the way, who rated Rotten Soul 3/10? Death to the heathens! And.... did you enjoy your pizza? Best gig since, ummm, must be the 12 Bar Club!!!

Pat,
My name is Geoff. My brother, some friends,
and I saw you at the Knitting Factory show
here in Los Angeles. We were the surly
drunks who would not leave you and the band
alone. I almost don't know how we left or how I
got into bed. We also went to see you at the
Troubador and I had trouble making eye
contact with you, remembering what an ass I
was. Anyhow... Pat... best wishes to you and
the band.

You know, I do seem to remember some folks
at the Troubador who were doing some
interpretive dance or something and having a
very fun time for themselves. Maybe I wasn't
such an ass after all.

Geoff

The show was announced in the gigs section of this very webpage, but the date listed was the 7th of July. DOH!!!

Oh yeah, the funny thing about the David J. set on Sunday was that he covered both Marilyn Manson and Madonna, in a folk-singer stylee.

He did some accoustic show....
dreitzel... - Behind the Orange Curtain - 11Jul2001 11:00 AM
  #16/299
I heard it straight from Pat. He said that the show was Tuesday (I think), and that no-one was there and he played most of the show with his eyes closed so he didn't have to see it all. I know he was scheduled to do a DJ set as well, but I thought maybe that was an error. Anyone know when the acoustic set happened?

More importantly, how can we get Pat to do another that we can actually attend? Sure wish I could go to SF today. He and Max did many song acoustic last time I saw them up there and it was fantastic. I think an entire cd of acoustic renditions would be a beautiful thing.

Pat didnt do an acoustic show on July 3rd, he did a Dj set at the Knitting Factory. Close enough I guess!

The Troubaour gig.

Great show. It was nice to see The Conspiracy out and about again. It was great being able to say hi to Pat before the show as well, although I never say as much as I'd like for fear of bugging him.

David J was the special "surprise" guest. He did a wonderful set that was a mixture of a couple Love and Rockets songs (a particularly amazing acoustic "The Dog-End of a Day Gone By" which has always been a favorite L+R song of mine) some classics off his many great solo recordings including a slight reworking of the wonderful "Crocodile Tears and the Velvet Cosh" (very nice David!) and some very good new material off a forthcoming release. Anyway, anyone wanting to see him, he's playing at the Troubadour again July 31st I believe. I am thinking about attending to see what else he has to offer. plus, I've always been a fan. Can you tell?

The Butcher was great as always. The show felt more like hanging out with friends while some particularly talented musicians were having some fun on stage. JBC fans for the most part are such a friendly bunch too. It's part of the fun of going to the shows really. Well, everyone except these two women that thought my voice was too high to be polite. Whatever that had to do with anything. Anyway, Pat knows so many people here in LA that you feel like you are at a private show, but one that you were invited to as well. In any case, the JBC has always had a great rapport with the audience and it's fantastic to get to experience it all again.

Highlights of the show for me were "Come Friendly Spacemen" (a Sumosonic song) which featured one Kevin Haskins wearing a space helmet and armed with a blaster shooting everyone in sight and a brilliant version of "Sister Death", which is one of my many favorite JBC songs.

The band was great too. Mr. Max Eider was in typically stunning form. Pat let the cat out of the bag that Max is recording a new album for us as well!

Also, The Butcher evidently played an acoustic show on July 3rd. Why wasn't that publicized? I sure wish I could have been there. I know of a bunch of people that would die for that.

Anyway, I sure hope the JBC comes back to LA soon.

Dave

One of the best JBC gigs I've been to, and I've seen all their LA shows. Very heavy on the Max Eider-era material, thankfully. The show was almost two hours long, too. Who cares that it was a school night-I was in heaven!

Please make them come back to the US...

ABSULUTELY THE BEST
you(at)company.com... - Peoria Heights, Illinois - 7Nov2000 9:55 AM
  #8/299
I can't begin to tell you how it all began. I was visiting my girlfriend, Alexia Sabor, in Chicago ... it was 1986, and I saw a flier glued to a telephone pole.
"The Jazz Butcher," I laughed at the name. I new nothing about them... nothing.
A few weeks later, I had driven to Chi-town again to see Alexia. We had nothing to do, and she said that band I kept mentioning was playing that very night.
It was at the Metro. We watched from the balcony ... and I was hooked. Shortly after I bought my first LP, Scandel in Bohemia... many more followed.
By '88 I had moved to Chicago, but there was no more Alexia... she had dumped me and married the guy she left me for. But, on the positive side, I caught JBC at the Cubby Bear! Another spur of the moment event. My roommate and I were shopping for BIG BLACK records when we saw a sign that TJBC was playing down the street... the show had started. We ran as fast as we could, and didn't miss a JB song! God must have wanted me to be a Jazz Butcher fan... because the coincidences are too hard to phantom!
Because I drank too much and took too many drugs... and failed to get a suitable job... I managed to get kicked out of 2 apartments, I quit school and move back to Peoria.
But all was not lost. I turned my friend Torry on to TJBC and we spent the next 5 years drinking, getting drunk, watching his gold fish, toasting, listening to and singing Jazz Butcher tunes.
"I don't wait 'til I'm sober, 'til I get drunk again," "I just want to drink 'til I can't see..." etc... "I've got a mind like a playground..."
Oh, these were the anthems of a 20 year old boy!
We relished in the rights of passage the Jazz Butcher initiated us through.
I'm pushing 35 now, but I still dig out those old vinyl (glasss)LP's and think about all those wonderful memories... too many to tell you about.
But I will tell, they sure do make me smile.

God Bless, the Jazz Butcher!

I recently found a second copy of this rare promo item. It is a Canadian promo that clocks in at over 78 minutes long! Cool artwork and liners/song stories by the Butcher himself. If anybody wants to trade for this item let me know.
You can read more about it in the discography on this site.

I am amazed he still has his liberty, but that's the spirit of the man, and his cohorts.

If any desperate Butcher fans want to buy a CD of photos, I have two posed sessions that my girlfriend did and gave me the rights to. 35 shots show Butcher posed solo (83/84?) which were used with my interview in Melody Maker, including the ice-cream shot, and there are 61 of the Jazz Butcher band (inc. Max Eider and David J) from 1984 (?) for another interview, which might have been Melody Maker, or ZigZag. In this session (and it was quite a session), a tired and emotional Butch saves the Earth from decimation as the Alien Fleet put their invasion plans on hold, having observed strange activity happening beneath them in EC1. (Fleet Commander: "You are fucking joking, right? Disperse, disperse!!!)

ALL TOP QUALITY STUFF.

The sets together cost £12.50 to anyone in the UK, and can be cash, cheque (made payable to Mick Mercer) or uncrossed postal orders. To anyone outside the Uk it's cash only I'm afraid, as I 'bank' with the Abbey National and if you even mention International Money Orders of Eurocheques to them a fracas swiftly ensues. So if anyone outside the Uk wants the CD with both sets on it's a crisp twenty dollar bill missus and no questions asked.

Price includes all P&P and there's a case, covers and CD label. There's also six hundred free scans included of pics of other bands.

If you want it then the address to write to is Mick Mercer, 76A East Street, Selsey, West Sussex, PO20 0BS, ENGLAND.

And if the owner of this site wants to put up a few pics as examples, then a quick e-mail to mercerm[at]-remove-talk21.com will achieve a happy result for all.

Cheers then!

david here.
just got my mitts on the latest from our old friends pat and max.
fantastic to have something new with which to sustain the legend and snicker at the uninitiated.
stylistically,rotten soul seems something of a throw-back to earlier,less complicated,less produced times.
while i enthusiastically appreciate the warm coat of fur condition blue and waiting for the bus of love caused to sprout on the inside of my cranium,i whole-heartedly approve of this stripped-down offering.
at this moment,iam listening to it for the second time.while my ear tells me my it will require a few more spins to catch this more subtly nuanced discs afflictions,i can certainly endorse the creature at face value.
leads me to the cautious hope of a live west coast appearance at some point.to sustin the legend.and snicker at the uninitiated.

Played "Scandal in Bohemia" for 1st time this century last night...bringing back lovely memories of Northampton in the early 80's ! Specifically remember a gig at Lings with "Another Time" (teenage crush on lead singer) and the angst ridden times at the Derngate / Northampton Musicians Collective.

Was the first line-up formed partly from previous members of a band called Sonic Tonix? If so, which ones? And did Sonic Tonix ever make any records?

Someone let me know, please?

Thanks,
