We are a Ferndale-based band in search of a lead singer. Male or female. We have guitar, drum and bass taken care of. If you can add guitar, or, preferably keys/organ, even better. We have about an EP's worth of ideas, but are waiting for the right frontperson to flesh them out. Some influences we have that will probably play a part in the sound of this band are: The Animals, Pink Floyd (Piper through Wish You Were Here), Dick Dale, King Kahn and the Shrines, Thee Oh Sees, Tame Impala, Conspiracy of Owls, The Seeds, The Beatles, The Gories, Frank Zappa, Bohemian Vendetta, The Zombies, bands on Nuggets-type compilations
All that being said, we don't have a specific sound in mind. Whatever comes out is the direction we'll go. We are all really into gear, vintage and new. We build and modify our own guitars and pedals too. We like vintage fuzz, psychedelic delay, lots of reverb.
We've all played a lot of shows between Detroit, Hamtramck, and Ferndale, including some with national acts, toured, basically know how to be a band. We're willing to give anyone a shot, but you definitely have to be comfortable with/capable of performing, writing original material, expressing ideas in a band setting, etc. Also, we all have adult jobs, but some reasonable goals for this band are playing good shows, pressing vinyl, getting songs licensed. We usually practice 1 day a week, and all work 9-5 schedules. If everyone feels like, and is able to practice more, we will.

I heard they are . I'm really not a fan of that Two Tone era stuff , anymore . Don't mind the Selecter , but , don't let that prejudice you.....It's just Dave Wakeling from the original band , but , you probably know that. I've heard they're very good.

O wow, they were at Berbati's Pan (the former?) about 2 years ago and I missed them. English Beat is gonna be at the Wonder Ballroom this Easter Sunday. Wonder if they're still sounding any good.

Yes, those were covers as well of the bands you mentioned. Just thought it was odd that whoever made the list credited some covers but not others. BTW, Wild Thing was more akin to Hendrix' version in style.

Was "Reverberation" the 13th Floor Elevators' tune? "Whatcha Gonna Do" the Small Faces'? "Before You Accuse Me" Bo Diddley's? Just curious... ;)
Jersey City Mods said:Funny how the list maker didn't identify Wild Thing as a Trogg's cover.
We went and it was a great time. Opening band was Headless Horsemen who also sounded great for not having played together in a number of years. Was it worth the $65 tickets? We'd say YES! We did say NO, however, to the overpriced t-shirts and posters.

Kopper , I just now saw one clip on you tube , which sounded great , of "Need Me". There's several clips up , now. "Reverberation" could only be The Elevators' classic , as Gibbons has always credited them as a huge influnce on The Moving Sidewalks' sound . Plus , ZZ Top did it on "Where The Pyramid Meets The Eye" , one of the only tracks on that , well intentioned , comp that I can stomach......AND , Billy has sat in with Roky, every chance he could , in recent years , and he looked , to me , like he was having too much fun NOT to attempt a Moving Sidewalks' reunion. They probably did "Before You Accuse Me" , the Bo Diddley classic , because it was a staple in The Elevators' and Roky's solo live set , and because Billy is rumored to like him some Blues. But , "What you Gonna Do" (sic) is a M.S. original.

$65! Wow. BB Kings is probably always that expensive in NYC. Glad to hear it!

Besides Barfly (mentioned in the first post above), I've just found a cool li'l tool to hunt beer:
Just type in a beer, neighborhood, bar, and zip! you've got information. When a bar pops up, you can check out all of the taps it offers.
And I just found out there's a free app for yr iPhone, too!
Sweet!

The No. 4 bus line—which runs from St. Johns south down North Mississippi Avenue and into downtown then over the Hawthorne Bridge and down Northeast Division Street to downtown Gresham—connects every major taproom in the city.
The No. 4 generally went through the “poor minority” strips. The transit agencies of the past would do that because it made it possible for more people to ride. Remember, most of these lines were designed 100 years ago, and the agencies had to work around the often perverse limitations of discrimination. To simplify the history dramatically, the “poor” areas generally are ripe for musicians and artists, which then make an area popular. Thus Mississippi and Division are now gentrified areas attracting higher-income people who want premium beer bars. It’s kind of weird how interconnected those trends are, but there you have it.

Oh, and I can't forget Reverend Nat's Hard Cider. Check out that Hallelujah Hopricot...
And there's a cider-house in Oregon City (confusingly named the Portland Cider Co.)

Here's the 2013 Willamette Week Beer Guide, it's really well-done. Their no.1 beer is a Belgian-style Saison, not even one of the super-hoppy IPAs!
The past few years have seen the beer scene here explode! Now there are 1 (or More!) micro-pubs in the small towns outside of PDX (Gresham, Hillsboro, and Beaverton).
Outside of Portland, there's a little brewery in Eastern Oregon (over the mountains) named Barley Brown's that won 4 medals at the GABF. It's a pepper beer, made w/ jalapenos and the newly-popular Citra hops that the reviewers loved.
And there are at least 3 Belgian ales being made here, a sign that we're moving on from Uber-hoppy beers (About time! I love a good hoppy beer in the summer, but my favorite styles are London-style porters and Belgians.).
We also have cider-houses Out-Cider and Bushwhacker
and distilleries Distillery Row.

Hello to all!
Our band's practice space is shared by a good group of people in Peabody, Massachusetts. One of those people is named Aviv. He recorded our band right in our studio (pretty much all live - vocals were done afterward @__@). If there's anyone looking to get some recordings done - Aviv is a good guy to go to. Inexpensive and affordable - when compared to some of the crumbs I've had the displeasure of dealing with/hearing about.
For an example of the recording quality - check this out thelittlerichards.bandcamp.com
Contact us on here or through our facebook page if you're interested and we'll pass the word along to our pal.
- The Little Richards
