28/09/05 She looks like Joey Ramone !
A punk interview with Manny Montana, songwriter, singer and bass guitarist of the Ones and a few years before of the Buckweeds; with his company Teenage Head Music he is also tour manager in Europe for a lot of American rock bands.
The Ones in concert in Marseille at the machine a coudre, Manny on tour in South of France (click to enlarge the pics) with the Hangmen (from L.A.) featuring Ward Dotson of the Gun Club (on the right) and The General at work in front of the stage !

Being a French guy living in New York…all I can say is that this is a pretty small world.
I’m one of the very very few to own a Buckweeds T-Shirt, eventhough I never saw them live.
The first time I ever sang on stage -back in 2002 and for 250 people, it was a Buckweeds song..”I Don’t Care Anymore”….and I had Marky Ramone behind me on drums.
It was after the break-up of the Buckweeds, when former Buckweeds singer Nick Cooper started “Marky Ramone and the Speedkings”.
After singing that song I got to join them in the van on tour.
Annie, don’t mention the club Poste a Galene on your show….when I was personally invited by the Lords Of The New Church on their tour…and on the guestlist thanks to Mr Dave Tregunna….the #@@@ of that club threw me out from it during soundcheck for no other reason that I was sitting there and invited by the band.
Actually Brian James had very nicely offered me a guiness, and while Brian was away the guy of the club made me pay for it and threw me out.
I had to stand in front of the club, and couldn’t take any pictures during soundcheck like I hoped.
And if Manny reads this, I never met him but talked to him by email once…about Belgian old school Punk band Revenge88.
Oh and Adam, I know Adam of course…Heyyyy Adam!!!!
(everybody buy the Black Halos album OK?! Its GREAT!!!)
Small world, I’m telling you!
Best to all,
Thomas

Hello Annie and all the Meltingpod listeners,
I really enjoyed your interview with Manny. I learnt alot about his musicial life and the journey he has been on. I liked the story about the girl that looked like Joey Ramone and singing it to her years later in the club with Marky on drums. That was very funny.
I will have to track down The Ones music and listen to it.
Hmmm The beaver song, maybe it could be added to a Movie soundtrack.
American Pie 3 maybe a good vehicle, good royalties that is for sure.

Shane ! You have an eye for business !

Hi Thomas, we indeed emailed a few times. It’s indeed a small world. And what makes it even funnier is that “I don’t care anymore” is a song that i wrote…

Maybe you could rename the song for the American market
“Apple pie” lol

How does this man do to have such energy??? Playing in several groups and being a tour manager … whaouh, I’m really impressed! You must have several lives, and I guess it’s not the first one ! Bravo!
Who said the Poste à Galène was not the best place in Marseille Annie???

It’s unbelievable ! The Ramones come back with their powerful sound, speed, force and you’re knock out in less than 2′30 !!!
