RIP, Davy Jones, from the Hot Nasties

…who has passed away.

We of the Hot Nasties (like all punks) were huge Monkees fans.  In the Nasties, in fact, we covered Monkees tunes more than any other band’s.

Here’s our take on ‘Steppin’ Stone,’ from our self-made LP.  (If you listen carefully, you can hear my circa-1980 voice break.)

    Damn….another vestige of my youth….gone……rest well, Davy…..

    Cool cover of the Monkees classic, Mr. Kinsella…..Daydream Believer is still my favourite, but I suspect it was a little too saccharine for the Hot Nasties……

    The Beatles were overrated hacks. As a punk, surely you must agree.

    Does the Lennon/McCartney partnership come close to the poetic prose of Tork/Dolenz? I dont think so.

    The Monkees had their own car and better knitted hats.
    …..and a TV show.

    Davy Jones took tambourine playing to a new level. RIP
