John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

Baseball Furies

Sign in to edit

Baseball Furies are an American punk band who were formed in Buffalo, New York and subsequently moved to Chicago, Illinois. The band took its name from a gang of the same name in the 1979 film The Warriors and wore similar costumes in their early live shows. The Baseball Furies' "This Is The World's Greatest Rock & Roll Record" and the Blowtops "Voodoo Alley" were the first releases from Big Neck Records, an independent record label started in Buffalo in 1995. The Furies helped put together a two-day garage punk festival called the Rust Belt Revolt in Buffalo in April 2000: this event featured bands originating from Rust Belt cities.

The band had been recording since 1996, but JP's repeated airing of I Hate Your Secret Club was his first flirtation with their work. Moreover, it would be three years until he gave them more exposure.
