the Screwed are teaming up with punk pioneer guitarist Cheetah Chrome of Dead Boys and Rocket from the Tombs..

On July 9 the Screwed are joined by Gord Lewis to play a some of songs by Teenage Head also to be joined by Dave Bingham lead singer and writer of the UglyDucklings to do songs from their Somewhere Outside recorded in the mid '60's.  This for me is special. I saw the band first at my Etobicoke high school in '66 and that is when i knew i wanted to be in a band. 

it was a thrill and an honour to perform with Cheetah Chrome, punk rock guitar anti god, writter of Sonic Reducer and all round rock and roll treasure. The Screwed and Cheetah will be performing live on CIUT Fm radio 89.5 (Uof T) 10-12pm tune in our come down to the St. George st. studio.

When we touring with Cheetah Chrome of the Dead Boys last spring we went into Grant Av. Studio in Hamilton and recorded a new song of Cheetah's which he is still working on. It's called Bury You Alive and the song is sung to George Bush. We however have put a version of Sonic Reducer up on our myspace that we did with him. It's pretty cool for me to hear his distinctive voice and guitar work with us on the punk standard that he co wrote. Have a listen. I've kept in touch and we are hoping he'll be back up here before too long.
We have recently added the Advert's Gary Gilmour's Eyes to our repertoire. We now have over 50 songs.
