MC50
MC50 is the new supergroup of MC5 mastermind Wayne Kramer. Featuring Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil, Marcus Durant, vocalist of Zen Guerilla, bassist Dug Pinnick of King's X, and Fugazi drummer Brendan Canty.
50 years ago, MC5, one of the most influential punk bands of all time celebrated its debut. They released the recording of their Detroit concerts in October 1968 as Kick Out The Jams, which named ROLLING STONE one of the best punk albums: Already in April 1969, Lester Bangs called this band from Detroit a bunch of 16 year old punks on a meth power trip. It almost sounds like a compliment, but that's not how it was meant. Ridiculous, presumptuous, pretentious, he found this album, and somehow he's right about. MC5 mixed beat poetry, the hippie lyrics of Sun Ra and left agitation and stole tunes by John Lee Hooker and the Troggs. But it's the maddening energy of the free jazz tuned guitars of Fred "Sonic" Smith and Wayne Kramer that makes this live album so remarkable. The attitude behind it was already punk, the music moved on the next MC5 album Back In The USA.
Kick Out The Jams and MC5 are music history and reason to celebrate the 50th anniversary of these two gigs. Wayne Kramer is the only remaining member to hold the flag high – but his new generation support is first rate.
