The first half of this episode will serve as a tribute to Peter Eichhorn who passed away on January 16th. Peter and his wife Susanne were the people behind P. Trash Records, an incredibly important record label based in Germany.
This record label was not only important for music fans in Germany or Europe, its reach was world wide. P Trash released records from bands from all over the place and had a strong connection to the Canadian punk scene including releasing many records by bands from Ottawa.
Peter was incredibly passionate and this was apparent by how he ran his label, treated his customers and his bands. He didn’t treat them like customers and business opportunities. He treated them like real people, friends. You’ll hear tracks from many P Trash releases as well as words from members of those bands and labels, including:
Steve Adamyk (Steve Adamyk Band, Sedatives)
Rob Seaton (Statues, Der Faden)
Ian Manhire (Sedatives, The White Wires)
Eric Daigle (Fear of Lipstick, Feral Trash)
Dave Williams (Sedatives, Year Zero, Last Communion, Steve Adamyk Band)
Ilona (The Dagger Eyes)
Patrick (Hosehead Records)
Eric (FDH Records)
We play:
Statues - New People Make Us Nervous - The Last Stand
The Toyotas - Made Headlines - T.V. Injection
Fear of Lipstick - Seasons - Memel
Year Zero - Year One - Seasons
Idle Hands - Postponed - Vacant Stare
