Hello and welcome to this bonus episode of Revolutions Per Movie. Thank you for supporting what we’re doing…it means a lot.
We were in the process of releasing our recent conversation about John Curry and his band Flyboys this week when we heard from Lisa Fancher about his passing. So we've decided to make this episode of EXPLORING THE AXIS: THE ORAL HISTORY OF FRONTIER RECORDS w/ Lisa Fancher available to everyone. Much love to John, his family, and his bandmates.
SHOW NOTES:
Welcome to Chapter 3 of Exploring the Axis, where we freak out about the genesis of Lisa’s first vinyl release for Frontier Records, the iconic Flyboys S/T 12” EP, an incredible pinnacle of L.A. power-pop-driven punk/garage songwriting.
We discuss why the timing was right to release her first record, what the label was originally going to be called, how she first met Flyboys by interviewing them in her parent's living room, why Flyboys won’t let their debut 7” be re-issued, how their 2nd 7” Crayon World is considered a classic of the era & how the sleeves came back in the wrong size, telling Slash to fuck off, why the look of Flyboys was different than other bands in the scene, the long journey to get the S/T EP recorded, recording at Leon Russell’s recording studio, Disneyland vs. hardcore punk, starting to think about putting out a Circle Jerks LP, JFA covering the Flyboys without credit and more!
