Racquet Band - Miller Brothers (on Tennis Racket Guitars) 40th Anniversary Reunion 2006

2011-12-01T12:53:00.002-05:00

* Miller Brothers: BILL - DAVID - GREG reunite for a Racquet Band recording sessions in 2006. Forty years ago in Virginia they broke out the tennis racket guitars & trash can drum while their MOM shot super 8 film & snapshots. Then in 2006, they cranked it up again at SOS Studios in North Carolina while MOM shot digital video. All LIVE... just free wheeling FUN, just like when they were kids.

* Hope you enjoy the wacky Miller Brothers madness of a meltdown of The Beatles, The Monkees, Partridge Family, The Cowsills, Jandek, Weird Al & The Shaggs, all adrift in outsider silliness unfiltered.

This cover version of Edgar Winter's Frankenstein was the perfect choice for a guest appearance with the percussive sounds of the tennis racket guitar. In the 60s the Miller brothers (Bill, David, Greg) played together in Racquet Band & The Electric Onion. In the 70s high school pals, Greg, Jeff, Johnny Mac all played together in the band Klutz.

Flashback to 44 years ago when I saw HENDRIX & THE MONKEES in North Carolina on July 11, 1967

2011-07-11T12:48:00.013-04:00

July 11,1967 - Charlotte, NC - My dad took me and my younger brother David to see The Monkees. I had tried to get my dad to take me The Beatles at Shea Stadium, New York in summer of '65, but it never happened. At this point I had only seen a local rock band on an outdoor stage and Chad & Jeremy when they came to the local college gym. So this was my first real concert. I knew The Monkees were a sort of TV joke based on A Hard Days Night, but still dug them.

So we drove about a hundred miles to Charlotte. I remember we were on audience left side about halfway up. I had not heard of ANY of the opening acts... Lynne Randell & The Sundowners & Jimi Hendrix. Jimi played on a handful of dates from Florida to NC. Before that the only Jimi Hendrix Experience show was a few weeks before at Monterey. His first album didn't come out until August '67 in the states. Eventually he breaks into WILD THING, and I was thinking like... "oh yeah, I've heard this tune on radio... that's who this guy is?" Later on figuring out he was covering The Troggs. At the end of his set Jimi was standing there feeding back and grooving and he held up his guitar and tossed straight up in the air about ten feet and then it landed on the stage squealing as the trio left the stage.

My eleven year old mind was blown... still dug The Monkees set, but never forgot Jimi. Problem is the bar was set so high at my first concert, that everything since has been second best.

My dad snapped this photo of me and my brother in front a seafood restaurant called Captain's Wheel that we ate at just before the show. Man, we were so hip with our cool bermuda shorts outfits.

In '66, my brothers and I had a band where we jammed on tennis racquets and trash cans. I eventually called it... Racquet Band. That's my brother David in the three cornered revolutionary hat that we scored in Williamsburg for a sort Paul Revere and The Raiders nod who I had seen on Shingdig! and Where The Action Is on TV.

By '68, my band had become The Electric Onion. We covered Steppin' Stone, I'm A Believer, Foxy Lady and Purple Haze. I finally had a real rig... Silvertone Bobkat Guitar & Harmony H415 amp & Lafayette Reverb & Shure microphone. I now have collected all of this gear again. It is fitting that today (July 11, 2011), I just got the actual guitar amp (seen in picture) after finding it on ebay. More on that and the planned Summer 2012 reunion for The Electric Onion later as details unfold.

This is a radio spot advertising Jimi's opening for The Monkees at the Detroit, but of course Jimi had dropped off the tour before that. Read more about what happened over at SNOPES. PS. The Monkees concert poster (at top of this post) is from the FLORIDA show.

PLASMASOUND - Photo Cell Oscillator Theremin by DeMenTia laBs Added to BTM's Zonkulator Rig

2011-05-20T16:54:00.012-04:00

While looking for some more vintage signal generators and the like for my Bill T Miller ZONKULATOR Laboratory Rig, I found this photo cell oscillator theremin unit built by the amazing Ross of DeMenTia laBs out of Indiana. It is a real cool fantasy faux simulated signal generator (with a decal instead of an actual rehoused metal faceplate) that he made from scratch. When I saw it on Ebay, I knew it would fit right in with my ZONKULATOR RIG.

ZiggyCat helping test out PLASMASOUND at Headroom Studios

At some point I will whip up my own mega BTM ZONKULATOR meets ORGY OF NOISE video with the Plasmasound and record some audio with this new gizmo. Currently working editing already existing footage into a full length ZONKULATOR BTM DVD and plan to shoot and add some sights & sounds from this unit to the fun. Stay tuned...

FLASHBACK: LED ZEPPELIN II Tour on APRIL 7 1970 - Charlotte, NC

2011-05-14T12:17:00.012-04:00

Flashing back to when I saw LED ZEPPELIN II Tour on APRIL 7 1970. I remember Robert saying here's a song from our next album and then launching into Since I've Been Loving You.

I remember hearing that Whole Lotta Love guitar solo / theremin breakdown and being hooked on Zep. The theremin sounded like sirens on the record, eventually I figured out that it was the same thing I had heard on sci-fi tv/movies and Beach Boys (Good Vibrations.) Nobody rocks the snake voodoo theremin dance quite like Page.

SEE 8mm fan footage featuring Led Zeppelin performing in Charlotte, North Carolina, April 7, 1970.

Setlist:
We're Gonna Groove, Dazed and Confused, Heartbreaker, Bring It On Home, White Summer / Black Mountainside, Since I've Been Loving You, Organ solo / Thank You, What Is and What Should Never Be, Moby Dick, Whole Lotta Love.

SEE MORE SNAPSHOTS by S. BETTS on ledzeppelin.com

In 1976, my younger brother Greg scored his own LES PAUL similar to the one Jimmy Page was playing in '70. Here's a snapshot of me playing Greg's guitar in early 80s.

I was 13 and my Dad drove me and two "older" girls (Bess & Sarah) who were in the next grade up to the concert in his 60s red Renault Dauphine Gordini Car.

Only saw ZEP that one time in 1970, although I did see various solo combos like Page (Outrider, Firm, Black Crowes) & Plant solo & Page/Plant & John Paul Jones solo twice and actually met JONESY at Paradise club in Boston after he played with Mutual Admiration Society. A friend was ex-soundman for JPJ solo, he had a private VIP sit down after the show.

HOMICIDE: LIFE ON THE STREET - A Tourist in Baltimore

2011-04-28T13:24:00.014-04:00

MUST SEE TV. In my real life I have never been a fan of cops, killers, politicians, doctors, preachers, jocks, drug addicts, drunkards, soldiers, angst ridden teens and most of what is on tv shows.... but Homicide simply had great characters.

Bayliss: You never say please. You never say thank you.
Pembleton: Please don't be an idiot. Thank you.

The day after the RUSH Time Machine concert in Baltimore this past weekend we went down to Fells Point and snapped some photos of the building & pier area where they shot the TV show Homicide: Life on the Street back in the 90s.

Scored this SUPER 8 FILM CAMERA @ MIT FLEA

2011-04-18T16:52:00.003-04:00

Yashica Super 8 SU 60-E
Spotted this camera at the MIT FLEA and it was super cheap with a cool retro case, so I "popped" on it. Of course now sorting out film stock and processing opens up another can of worms.

For now I guess I will shoot a couple of test rolls of super 8 film (B&W and Colour) with the Yashica and just keep shooting with my Circuit Bent PXL2000 Camera that was bent by WATERHEAD. At some point I will get the time and funds to get into shooting Super 8 again. I still have piles of Super 8 films that my parents shot of our adventures in the 60s to edit into my assorted BTM TV (Orgy Of Noise, Racquet Band, The Electric Onion, OBE etc) videos.

* RECORDS on RECORD STORE DAY 2011 * Flashbacks from a Vinyl Junkie

2011-04-16T15:55:00.026-04:00

Scored my very first records X-MAS 1964...
I still have that original Beatles '65 album.
Then my world centered around getting more records or guitars...
My Dad had a super deluxe hi-fi stereo system with custom turntable, Tandberg reel-to-reel tape recorder, separate Scott tube pre-amp and a Fisher amp and 15-inch EV woofers and Wharfedale tweeters and even a center channel 10-inch EV speaker.... but this was MY first record player.
Racquet Band circa 1966
...but by 1966 I no longer wanted more records only by other people, I wanted to MAKE MY OWN RECORDS!!!
The Electric Onion circa 1967

Although I still wanted MORE MORE MORE!!!!!
Now I have more records than I will ever have time to listen to in this lifetime.... and I have MADE more than YOU will find the time to listen to in YOUR lifetime.... but I still want even MORE!
OBE "GROATCLUSTERS" FLEXI-DISC circa 1989
Out of Band Experience (OBE) - Call Now!

Although I have engineered, produced, remixed or played on piles of music that was released on vinyl over the last few decades, my favorite slab of wax is my own LP released in 1990 and my label's first release the OBE FLEXI-DISC. In fact, I loved them so much that I bought a thousand of each. Real truth is they are pretty scarce and you prob can't find either of them in an actual "record store" anymore.

SUPPORT RECORD STORE DAY... EVERYDAY!

Flashback to 1.11.2006 - BTM on Hollow Tree - Experimental Music Report - FIVE YEARS AGO!

2011-01-11T13:55:00.016-05:00

11 January 2006
Bill T Miller: King of Noise
by Matt of Hollow Tree

Whatever complaints you may have about life on this little planet, you can't say there isn't plenty of entertainment. A middle-class westerner has access to more diversions today than, say, Caligula might have had after a shipment of loot from the African frontier. We've got a thousand channels of television, a whole fistful of video-gaming platforms and if you don't want to sit on your ass all day, we've got machines that you can get exercise on.

Entertainment is available by the bushel here in the "free world." This is great if you've got plenty of free time to piss away, but it's a problem if your livelihood is dependent on the entertainment economy. The supply entirely swamps the demand. We are facing an absolute entertainment glut, and the fun dealers who don't know how to react are losing money by the tens of millions.

The music industry is taking it the worst. We've already seen the demise of the record store. Pop music sales are pretty much nil, and the record companies are all dying in an embarassingly undignified way. It probably doesn't help, either, that rock and roll has run its course as a genre, dance music has degenerated to a 1/1 beat and hip-hop is, well, retarded.

What we've got here is a chaotic situation, and it's damn near rotten with possibility.

These are the kind of times that breed pioneers. New kinds of people rise, full of all kinds of new ideas. In this particular instance, the demise of the music industry, those ideas are sure to be about both new ways of making music and new ways of distributing it.

Emerging from the Chaos
Bill T Miller is one of those new kind of people. He has been making new kinds of music in and distributing it in new ways since back when people still had tape decks. Prior to the final days of the Church of the SubGenius, Miller spread the Word of "Bob" with his Kings of Feedback and Out of Band Experience CDs, which featured micro-cassette-generated samples over razor-wire guitar licks and hard-funk rhythms. These CDs found their way to fans through the mails and at live events, largely at no cost to the recipient. That's right, Miller gave his music away for free. [Piles of free records, tapes, cds & stickers flowed from BTM via snail mail in 80s/90s before internet distro kicked in.]

And now, as permanently-recorded music is essentially obsolete, Miller has upped the ante by putting what seems to be his entire body of work on the internet in mp3 form.
[starting in 1996 and then releasing MP3ORGY disc in 1998.]

DOWNLOAD FREE ALBUMS with ARTWORK
http://MP3ORGY.com
There's more to Miller than just free music, though. He has also worked with a variety of highly-original artists from around the world, remixing, producing and even designing web pages as needed. The list of weird bands that you've never heard of that have benefited from Miller's engineering talents is at least a kilobyte long.

- Article from http://hollowtreestudios.blogspot.com on 1.11.2006.

2011 note from BTM: Wow... It's hard to believe FIVE YEARS have passed away since this report on Hollow Tree. Special Thanx to Matt @ Hollow Tree. Ya know, I am still wondering if the world is flat or round...

So it's 1.11am on 1.11.11 !!!!!!!!

BTM on APPLE.com back in 1999 - Music for the Twisted Masses

2010-12-30T01:36:00.003-05:00

Decades of analog/tube/vinyl/tape/film (which i still incorporate as much as possible) has given way to a digital realm where my main tools of choice are... Pro Tools (AUDIO) and Final Cut Pro (VIDEO) and Photoshop (PIX) all on MAC. It was just eleven years ago when APPLE did an article about me and my Mac lust on their website, entitled: Strange Notes: Music for the Twisted Masses. (click to read the article)

BTM HARD DRIVES & TAPES...

2010-12-29T03:15:00.023-05:00

You would not believe the MEDIA (audio, video, photos, art, text) that is stashed in my hard drives. If I don't shoot another photo or video or record any new music, there are still enough unreleased gems to fill a dozen cds, dvds, and photo books. Not to mention all the analog audio tapes, micro-cassette, and mini-digital video tapes that are stashed away. Much more than you can consume. Most of you haven't even heard most of the stuff I have already released. I am in a non-stop editing/mixing frenzy (via Pro Tools, Final Cut Pro, and Photoshop) doing what I can to give you more more more.

Note: You will notice that the hard drives say MAIN on them... i also have exact duplicate mirror drives that say BU (Back-Up) on them. ...and i still need even more hard drives.

I have over 15 BTM CDs and over 100 VIDEOS (and several DVDs) and several thousand PHOTOS that are ONLINE already... not to mention all the recording/remixing etc i have done for OTHER ARTISTS.... so dig in, there's more on the way.

There's some beyond magical about the moonbeams of a full moon lunar eclipse on the winter solstice with sprinkles of snow tossed in... even if it is all buried in clouds. As most of you know, many of my BTM, OBE, Drum Army, Kings Of Feedback, Orgy Of Noise recording sessions and album/cd/single/video/book releases and other adventures have purposely and sometimes accidentally coincided with equinoxes, sabbaths, and full moons.
