		The First Look 101ers who stayed after the shows finally could talk to the actors and ask the questions we’ve been saving since the first readings, and make comments.
		And I thought, perhaps some of the things I heard/learned also might interest the 101ers who couldn’t be at the post-show discussions and, in hindsight, also deepen their understanding and appreciation of the plays and characters, as well as the process we have studied the past three months.
		So, in the order in which they were presented this past weekend: Read the rest of this entry »

	CD review: 'Elgin Avenue Breakdown Revisited' (phillyBurbs.com)
		Shortly before the punk rock explosion of 1976, The 101ers, named after the address of the abandoned West London house in which much of the band illegally lived, were playing a gritty form of rock music then known as "pub rock."
		The 101ers were pure rock 'n' roll, leaving out all of the stagnant commercial filler that plagued rock music at the time.
		At the front of all the noise and hysteria was the legendary Joe Strummer, who later became the frontman of the Clash, one of the most influential punk bands of all time.

		Contemporaries of such bands as Dr. Feelgood, the Strummer-fronted 101ers were part of a back-to-basics movement that cleared the decks for punk -- which ultimately enticed Strummer to leave the group and join the Clash.

	Ex-Clash singer breaks ground
		The 101ers, formed in 1974, became part of the pub rock movement, which was a conscious reaction to the rock star excesses of the early 70s.
		The 101ers' fate was sealed when Strummer was approached by Bernie Rhodes, who wanted to set up a band like the one managed by his friend, Pistols svengali Malcom McLaren - and that band, of course, was the Clash.
		The only commercially available legacy of the 101ers is the 1981 LP 'Elgin Avenue Breakdown', a hodge-podge of the Chiswick material and some live recordings taken straight from a cassette tape.

		Elgin Avenue Breakdown Revisited is a gussied-up version of the original post-breakup LP by Strummer's first band, the 101ers, which Strummer abandoned in 1976 to form the Clash, despite a strong London following.
		The 101ers sound like a junk shop come rollickingly to life, with Strummer's gravel-yard vocals balanced on a pile of Telecasters, saxophones, and pots and pans.
		Amateurishness may be part of the 101ers' charm, but the soundtrack Walker -- Strummer's first work after the Clash's split -- shows a man with the tools to express his vision.

		The latter's roots are easily identifiable in ELGIN AVENUE BREAKDOWN REVISITED, a bonus-cut-laden reissue of the album the band recorded during its brief lifetime.
		Like many pub-rockers, the 101ers were heavily indebted to 50s rockers like Chuck Berry and Gene Vincent, their music laden with rockabilly and early R&B references.

		The 101ers is the bar band Joe Strummer fronted for a couple of short pre-punk years before founding the Clash.
		Normally classified as pub band, The 101ers covered 50s rock classics and added their own aesthetically similar originals - their sound was accessible, but also gritty; it was R & B-laced party music meant to be listened to with a beer in hand.
		The 101ers remain a footnote in the history of punk rock, a rock band in those hazy pre-punk days - one that served as a logical stepping stone to take Joe Strummer from nowhere pub rocker to punk icon.

	Tony Fletcher’s iJamming! » Joe Strummer: Before and After the Clash (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-29)
		Elgin Avenue Breakdown, a compilation of Strummer’s mid-seventies pub rock band The 101ers, was initially released in 1981, when The Clash were at the height of their fame.
		The 101ers lone single ‘Keys To Your Heart’ comes in two versions, that which was released on Chiswick in 1976, and a faster rendition recorded at the BBC.
		Unique among their pub rock contemporaries, The 101ers were staunchly political: they formed at a squat, debuted at a Chile Solidarity Campaign benefit, routinely battled the police at live gigs (the uniformed kind, not Sting and his crew), and are featured here covering The Stones’ ‘Out Of Time’ from a gig at Wandsworth Prison.

		But the punk legend's untimely death of a heart attack in 2002 gave the project a new urgency that has finally landed on shelves again on Monday [23 May], almost twenty-five years after its original release.
		Richard Dudanski, Strummer's longtime friend and former 101ers drummer, oversaw the release of 'Elgin Avenue Breakdown (Revisited)' (EMI), which features newly unearthed live tracks that showcase Strummer's raw, R&B beginnings.

	Joe Strummer's Postcard from Heaven
		When the 101ers were playing, the New York Dolls had come and gone, and there were more interesting things going on in jazz and prog-rock than at the core of rock'n'roll.
		Sure, Dylan was recording "Going, Going, Gone," Bowie and Roxy Music were in their prime, and Big Star presaged power pop, but the Stones were already in decline, Lou and Iggy had not yet caught their second wind, and all else was bloat and excess.
		But the 101ers really did, based on the evidence here, give hints of what was to come.

		The 101ers reformed to play a few tribute gigs after Strummer's death, but Dudanski says the band won't tour to promote the new re-release.
		We went because we really liked the 101ers and knew that the Clash were Joe Strummer's new band.

	The 101ers, Elgin Avenue Breakdown (Revisited)
		Two years and one single and the 101ers were done: In June of ’76 vocalist/guitarist Joe Strummer split to make his indelible mark with the Clash.
		The London pub-rock scene he was leaving behind, populated by the likes of Dr. Feelgood, Ducks Deluxe, Kilburn and the High Roads, was already in decline, collateral damage in the rise of punk.
		Yet the 101ers’ posthumous ’81 LP Elgin Avenue Breakdown, newly expanded for reissue by drummer Richard “Dudanski” Nother at the urging of Strummer’s widow Lucinda, burns with enough prepunk power to suggest the band might’ve endured had their frontman not taken the Clash call-up.

		The 101ers sound like a junk shop come to life, with Strummer's gravel-yard vocals balanced on a pile of Telecasters, Chuck Berry riffs, and pots and pans.
		Like a lot of songwriters more concerned with communication than with introspection, Strummer's first instincts were crowd-pleasing ones, including the bracingly atmospheric "Keys to Your Heart" -- a tune as catchy as "Rock the Casbah" -- and raveups to enliven the dancefloor of the imaginary juke joint Strummer must have had in mind.
		Amateurishness may be part of the 101ers' charm, but the soundtrack Walker -- Strummer's first work after the Clash's split -- was made by a man with the tools to express his vision.

		I can’t remember where I read it but it pretty much summed up the band’s conclusion, “when they turned their Tommy guns on themselves” with Strummer driving Jones out of the band and killing the thing that made the band unique.
		The 101ers were a high energy pub-band that survived by covering rock nuggets.
		According to the liner notes, on April 3, 1975 the original Sex Pistols (pre-Sid Vicious) opened for the 101ers and Strummer saw the future.

	Silent Uproar
		As the leader of the pre-Clash 101ers, Strummer (then known as Woody, in honor of his idol) honed himself with the roots of rock & roll.
		Drawing on the sounds of Chuck Berry, Eddie & the Hot Rods, and Dr. Feelgood, the 101ers put together a pretty solid batch of pub rock, though it's difficult to tell how much Strummer's later success helped to fuel the desire for this album, instead of what the band accomplished under their own name.
		On their own, the 101ers were a really good rock band.

		Usually, you'd think such collections would be for the "completist," but the 101ers are worth checking out on their own merits.
		Single "The Keys to Your Heart" accent the catchy, while the crude "Rabies From the Dogs of Love," a song that mentions "the Clap," lodges Strummer's tongue relentlessly into his cheek.
		As the story goes, the Sex Pistols opened for the 101ers one night, and that was the end of them, as Strummer had found himself a new fix.

	HIGH BIAS -- The 101ers
		The 101ers were the legendary mid-70s London band led by singer/guitarist Joe Strummer prior to the formation of his more famous outfit the Clash.
		Drawing more explicitly from the rockabilly and R&B strains that threaded through the Clash's work, Strummer and the 101ers play what was then called pub rock with the kind of passion and energy that just a couple of years later would be associated with punk.
		Breathless live covers of Bo Diddley ("Don't Let It Go"), Chuck Berry ("Maybelline") and Slim Harpo ("Shake Your Hips") double the energy of the band's originals, even if they don't quite have the finesse to be a true R&B act.
