The Slickee Boys - Ya Gotta Tell Me Why
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 січ 2006
- Another Slicks classic which I uploaded as a tribute to one of my all time favorite bands! I'm no music historian just a fan. Thanks to comments posted by other users I've learned that the video was produced & directed by Richard Fischer at R&R Lighting Studios in Silver Spring, MD with the following musicians; Kim Kane (Rhythm guitar), Marshall Keith (Lead guitar), Mark Noone (Vocals), Emery Olexa (Bass), and Dan Palenski (Drums). And, the recording likely came from the 3rd EP release on Limp in 1979.
I live these guys. Truly one of the unsung greats of their era.
Marshall Keith is one of rock's Mighty Lords. How a guy this colossally talented could escape widespread adoration is beyond understanding.
They oughtta blow up the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and build a statue to him in its place.
Whenever he bursts into a solo (and there is no other way to put it) it's almost as if Luke himself is firing up his light saber. Just... DAYum! :D
I was in a DC band in the early 80's: The Spy-Dels. The Slickees got the Wax Museum, Friendship Station and the Psychidelly on Friday and Saturday. We were a Wednesday/Thursday band. We were booked to open for the Ventures at the Bayou and then the manager for the Insect Surfers convinced the booking agent to boot us in favor of them. Went to the show and they got booed. Glad it wasn't us. Loved Mark Noone, Kim Kane and the Slickees.
One of the best power pop bands ever! The Slickee Boys have truly changed my life in the mid-80s, when punk has gone metal!!! Always love 'em!
Hello to all good people reading this blog and watching the Slickee Boys. I produced and directed this video. The video would be a lot "cleaner" looking and the quality of the sound would have been better if I had copied it from the three quarter inch tape it was originally recorded on. But low and behold the Master tape was stolen. I had hired a guy named Mike Murphy to be one of the cameramen. He showed up so wasted he couldn't even focus the camera. He was replaced by one of the electricians and passed out somewhere in the studio. Murphy showed up a few days later at the R&R Studio's, groveled into the vault and swiped the master tape taking it to New York and got a job passing the production off as his own. Murphy's more honest brother told me where he was working and I called them only to find out he was fired, apparently for not knowing what he was doing. If anyone knows Mike Murphy or if he reads this, the Slickee Boys and I would like the master tape back.
Probably went to more Slickee Boys shows than any other local band in our Scene when I was a teenager. Someday I may write about what it was like going to a punk show at the original 930 Club at 930 F St NW. Those were unforgettable experiences. I could write a whole chapter on the downstairs bathroom alone.
Sounds like everybody here remembers the original 9:30...that long, dark corridor and then the music hit ya!
PS Is anybody old enough to remember seeing all these folks at Fort Reno for free?!
Yes! And the bathrooms in the basement
The last time I saw them at fort Reno the park police chased us around on horses. Later we decided to drive to the Chesapeake bay and went boating on mushrooms.
They threw me in the paddy wagon fo r peeing on the fence. Took us all down town and made us pay cash to get out. like mexico!!@@dontpanic7329
I have slam danced to this band many times in the early 80s. Those were the daze!
i know MARK NOONE the dancing lead vocalist. he teaches me guitar. hes awesome!
I saw the slikee boys in boston in maybe 84 and it the first real punk show of my life, i walked out of that bar and fell into the snow and my life was never the same. i stop being a dead head and punk rock became my life
Always loved this band! I worked in some of the punk/alternative clubs in D.C. in the early to mid-eighties. This band sounded great then and I have discovered that they their music has aged extremely well. Still one of my favs!!
Very underrated band - so much better than many of those "big" punk bands of that era... GREAT! This song is an absolute hit by the way...
It's good - I downloaded it last week and listening to it and realizing how GOOD the Slickee boys were! There were so many great shows in DC in the 80's I did not appreciate them, but listening to this - Great Guitars, Great Singing, Great Lyrics - and ORIGINALITY! Listening to this took me back to 1981 & 82!
the Slickees where my first punk rock!!! and still hold a special place in my heart
I try to explain the 9:30 experience to my 20 something kids. They'll never understand😁
Saw them at the BlackCat on 9/5/09. Stilll great show. They can still Rock. Saw them in 1980 w/ U2.
Ontario Theater! Great show.
They played at my HS Graduation Dance at the Washington Ethical Society school. The guitarist intentionally kicked his beer into the audience..We Loved it !
I am a new fan of the Slickee Boys. Thank you for posting. Love this song!
still in love with kim.
So much talent in the DC area back then.
great band !
ΤΙ ΜΑΛΑΚΙΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΑΥΤΗ....................
γκαραζ μπαντα απο την δεκαετια του ογδοντα .
Kim Kane!!!
Yes! One of my favorite artist from DC!!
Anyone remember them playing Marble Bar in B'more?
Sure. Many times. They also would play at Oddfellows Hall in Towson.
No but I caught them at the Rocket in Providence back when.Great!
Just downloaded one of the Urban Verb's albums last week, in addition to the Slickee's live record "Fashionably Late." I thought, well it's probably gonna sound dated, but NO, IT SOUNDS GREAT!
Download the Slickee Boys!
Ahh, makes me think of the Psychedelly in Bethesda.
Yes, those were the days! Psyche Delly was one my band Discreet's first actual club gigs back in the day. Once after sound check, I went down the street to shop at the second hand clothing store and reached for a t-shirt at the same time as another shopper and was totally blown away when I looked up and it was Kim Kane!!

i'll chime in as a lad about ten years too young to have caught slickee fever here in b-more. i heard that they were legends and i went to a "reunion" show they did in baltimore around '91. kim kane walked past my friend and i, looking basically the same as in this video, though as he passed us he smelled distinctly like an open box of "fruit loops" cereal. we though it was odd that a "rock legend" (local rock legend) would reek of fruit loops...
Yesterday and Today was a great place.
Too funny! I saw them at the 9:30 for this tour! Doesn't look or sound like it was there though...I agree with the other comments to that effect. The good ole days...930, the Bank, Poseurs, geez I'm old!
This is a crappy dub of the version I produced for the Third EP, not as listed as being recorded in MINN, and the U2/Slickee Boys concert was at The Bayou, not The Ontario. Slickee Boys were originally booked as the headliners, but by the time U2s first USA tour got to DC, they became the headliners!
Wasn't Bad Brains there also?
I saw the Slickee Boys at the 35th anniversary of the 9:30 Club where they also played the documentary 930 & F, named after the original location of the club. They were amazing of course! I've also had the pleasure of hanging out with Marshall Keith, at some live music shows, and he is an incredibly nice and humble guy. He also has new music out, check out Something For You online, it sounds great! Here's my tribute to the Slickee Boys and my favorite song of theirs! ua-cam.com/video/S-DodUH9o8k/v-deo.html
this is early and great! Big thanks!
Awesome track......so hip!!!
The Deuce brought me here! I'm staying.
EL MEJOR GRUPO DEL MUNDO
Effin Bad Ass!!!!❤
i miss skating all over Silver Spring n DC.
Thanks for the video!
and the memories!
I feel like I'm 20 again!
Cagney's, One Step Down, DC Space... Ontario Theater - saw U2 there - can't believe it now! I still tell people about that show! And dancing in the lobby at the Gang of Four show. The old 9:30 was a real dive a few blocks from the shooting galleries!
Check out their LIVE CD "Fashionably Late", which was released this year and is different then the aforementioned "A Postcard from the Day" which I just received from my old buddy Dan Palenski, Slickees Drummer. I worked with Dan for over 10 years in the 1980's in the Northern VA. area and he was best-man at my wedding.
Thanks again Monk....their in my favs now.
This video was not recorded at Nicollet Studios. It was produced and directed by Richard Fischer at R&R Lighting Studios in Silver Spring Maryland. Richard Fischer produced and directed many videos including Tex Rubinowitz and the Bad Boys. You can get in touch with Fischer through Mark Noone.
I think this was filmed in-studio in Minneapolis, by the record company who put this out (their name escapes me). By the way, my favorite places to watch bands were The Psychedeli (which really was a deli!), The Childe Harold at Dupont Circle, and the Ontario Theater. Good times one and all.
There's a new LIVE Slickee's CD out...from recordings between 1980 and 1982... it's called Postcard From The Day.
Gatorrock, you and I already spoken about the Ontario Theater, and I am sure we at least shared a love of the same shows (if not the sandwiches) at the Psychedeli (or Psychedelly). Happy New Year from NJ to Georgia.
@richardgideon1 Never said I produced or directed the video, I produced the RECORD that is being mimed to, that is what VERSION in my comment refers to. Sorry you misunderstood my comment. Look at the EP credit, on my label, LIMP
No worries.
cool thanks for the heads up!
I saw them, most likely at the 9:30 Club.
ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!
also the "urban verbs" and the almighty "(the) razz" though not at psychedeli...
20+years ago I was losing my hearing at the original 9:30 Club at 930 F St NW (keep in mind the current 9:30 isn't the original 9:30). And, sporktoast is right--there was a pole near the stage that I used to crash into every now and then.
Betcha sporktoast did, too.
si senor!!
Geez, these guys were great. Mark Noone (Noonan?) has to be the least likely lookin' rock singer ever and Marshall Keith is a godforsaken wonder of a guitar slinger from the second-wave Brit Invasion mode.
'Wish they'd shot it live-sound rather than synch, 'cause they certainly had it in'em to nail it.
Doesn't look like the 9:30 to me -- there was a club in SW (F Street I think) they used to play. Want to say it was the Space Club or Club Orbit, or something like that. Had a space suit out front. Was a couple blocks south of Air & Space. This looks like that stage. Wish I could remember the name.
I am looking for their version of Glendora (an old song of Perry Como).
Mark. I can't play that fast.
Here's a great talk on the good old days of the DC DMV music scene including the entire lineup of Slickee Boys past & present. ua-cam.com/video/ZoE3pLSKofQ/v-deo.html
Does anyone know who the lead guitar player is? I can't remember his name. Wonder what he is doing now. He was quite awesome!
+Suzanne Boyd Still is, Mark is still playing music! The Yachtsmen
Lead guitarist is Marshall Keith. He is on Facebook.
well this would have been filmed what - 20 years ago? it MIGHT have been cleaner then! (never been to the 9:30 so I wouldn't know...)
@DannyA123 thnx for the tip
Are you thinking of East Side? I remember some jackass in the pit, just throwing his body around (ok, that's what happens, but he was trying to knock people over), who crashed into me and knocked me thru a door on the left side of the stage.
with all respect SlyOneJr, that looks too clean to be 9:30 :~)
