Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE PRETENDERS!

Cover Song night is off to a fabulous start as we have The Pretenders paying homage to the Jimi Hendrix song, 'Room Full of Mirrors' which is gonna knock you back into your seat so hold onto your drink, bunky.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE PRETENDERS!

Go ahead Donald Trump, go walk up to Chrissie Hynde and grab her pussy, go ahead, you're famous, you said you can do it. Walk right up, reach out your hand, and get your teeth knocked out and your throat stepped on.

Saturday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE PRETENDERS!

So, yeah, once again sorry about last night and let's rock on outta here with a hot live version of 'Day After Day'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE PRETENDERS!

Your face, consider it about to be rocked off. All over Cool City tonight lots of 'Tattooed Love Boys' out there looking for Ms. Right Now. Chrissie Hynde sings this song with such base sexuality it just steams up the place. It smacks you in the head a few times with James Honeyman-Scott's snarling guitar licks too. Put the good headphones on and turn the volume up because here it comes.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE PRETENDERS!

It's that time again thrillseekers, time to unwrap our yearly Christmas song packages from under the tree. We'll start with this one, a wonderfully stripped down sounding Chrissie Hynde and The Pretenders on their Christmas song, '2000 Miles'.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE PRETENDERS!

Was there a better band working when Chrissie Hynde had the services of James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon? The Pretenders with 'Stop Your Sobbing'

Saturday morning MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE PRETENDERS!

That's right kids, Saturday morning (Johnny's out again tonight) so we'll get our swerve on just like we're watching some really cool musical cartoons. Now this one comes to us by the request line and for a very good friend of the JCD. Now Johnny's email address is down below if YOU have a request hipsters. We'll wrap it up today with a HOT live performance by The Pretenders with the awesome tune 'Message of Love'.

One sad bit of irony, within two years of this performance both guitar players on either side of Chrissie Hynde would be lost to drug overdoses. Pete Farndon's (Bass player with the Japansese theme paint job) heroin issues became so bad he was fired from the band. But it was just two days after Farndon's dismissal lead guitarist James-Honeyman-Scott died from heart failure due to cocaine abuse. Soon after, Farndon died by drowning in a bathtub after a heroin overdose (Jim Morrison anyone?). Another odd factoid in the annuls of rock history; Before his passing and after being dumped by the Pretenders Farndon was working on forming a new band with former drummer for The Clash, Topper Headon, who was also dismissed from his band for heroin issues.
