    • I mean...really...I cant hold my piss in any longer..when the hell is this coming out.

    • March 16, 2013 2:14 PM CDT
    • I missed one of your criteria - The Monofones aren't American - oops!  Here's a few amazing and relatively new female-fronted bands:

      The Woolly Bandits (from Los Angeles, with Sky Saxon's former backing band)

      A Giant Dog (Texas)

      Persian Claws (Vermont)

      The Love Me Nots (Arizona)

      And you're probably familiar with Shannon and the Clams.

      Now that I think about it,  there's an impressive number of women in the garage punk scene nowadays.

    • March 16, 2013 11:56 AM CDT
    • As far as female-fronted garage punk, two of my current favorites are right here on the Hideout.  Highly recommended!

      Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (I was at this show, they were dynamite!)

      And from Switzerland, The Monofones (awesome fuzz guitar!):

    • March 16, 2013 3:08 AM CDT
    • Hi there, for Cramps type bands there's a great Japanese female punk rock 'n' roll band called The 5678s who are great if you've never checked them out. Also, as dave recommended, The Scientists are great - also the first album Kim Salmon made after the Scientists with his band The Surrealists called 'Hit Me With the Surreal Feel' - has some cool, lo-fi cramps style covers of 50s-early 60s stuff.

      For more female-fronted garage punk, there was a great band in Bangkok a while ago called Pussy and the Learjets - there are some cool clips of them on YouTube and they released one 7'' single with Metal Postcard Records.

    • March 15, 2013 7:00 PM CDT
    • Thanks everyone for your recommendations, it's a shame though that the Scientists and Gore Gore Girls are already disbanded (hopefully there are more bands like them active these days) but anyways I really appreciate it.

      If there are any more current female fronted/all female garage rock/punk bands I'd love to hear them too (but by that I don't mean to let the bands with guys out!).

    • March 15, 2013 8:29 AM CDT
    • You're talkin' 'bout "Blood Red River", right?  I can't recall the cover well, but maybe, it was good, so I bought another their single which includes Radio Birdman's cover "Man With The Golden Helmet". :)

    • K-Holes: "Scary" and "female fronted"

    • I like La Secta ,from Spain , better than The Scientists....But , I don't listen to them , anymore , really. That was during the Great Garage Scare of The 90's , before Major Labels STARTED PICKING UP ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS GARAGE.......

      but I'll check the Detroit Cobras and the Scientists.

    • My band The Mad Doctors is a b-movie-themed garage punk band - hopefully you'll dig our stuff! End of shameless self-promotion.

    • March 14, 2013 6:15 AM CDT
    • Thank you for the welcome Gringo Starr, although I'm curious as to why there was such a problem before with this kind of topic but well that's just a story for another day I guess.

      Thanks for the recommendations dave, I do know The Avengers and X Ray Spex but I'll check the Detroit Cobras and the Scientists.

      And about The Dyes I already know them and I'm really liking how they sound.

      So in general I appreciate all your suggestions people, keep' em coming please!

    • March 13, 2013 4:33 PM CDT
    • On all counts - The Dyes , from Chicago. Two women on Guitar , Bass and Vocals , one mighty, mighty man on Drums. Cramps - absorbed , as opposed to just influenced , but , they've got their own thing. An extremely rare ( In Chicago , anyway .) collision of Rockabilly and Garage sounds , covering some songs associated with The Cramps , as well as a great version of Jackie DeShannon's version of Elvis' "Trouble" , and others , but also coming up with the goods , in the songwriting dept. Singer/Guitarist , Lisa , draws from Wanda Jackson , but , sounds like she's chosen evil over goodness .  Kim Fowley recently dubbed her "The Devil's Bride".

      6. B10...The Last Canadian Bastion....local trib to Stompin' Tom. This song was written the day after The Stomper passed away, recorded that day and then played the same day right here on Radio WW! Had to play it again this week to start our Stompin' Tom trib...

And speaking of WW24, thanx to all those that came up and said hi and bought a copy at the London Indy Media Fair last weekend!! There was a young girl, maybe  15, saw the zine and asked 'is that like Radio What Wave??' I was kinda shocked and answered yes and she was familiar with the show and said it was one of her faves!! And we thought it was only old guys reliving their youth listening to this show!! Or maybe it was just a dream....after all it was kind of a long day sitting at the table.

      19. Black Jasper...Just Die Fast...from the Scum Of The Moon CD. Black Jasper are Jasper and King Khan playing 70's KBD punk rock.

    • Show #413: "Bands & Artists Starting With M, Part 7"

      Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows I call the "Alphabetical Series" where I randomly draw a letter of the alphabet from a hat. Whatever letter I draw, I take all the bands and artists in my collection (from the 50's, 60's & 70's only) that start with that letter and play them in strict alphabetical order one by one until I run out of time. This week I drew the letter "M". This is the seventh time I've drawn the letter "M", so I will start from where I left off on show #6 (which was with Merriday Park). So, tune in tonight (Friday at 10:00pm EST) to hear 3 hours of bands and artists that start with "M" like: Merrilee & The Turnabouts, Max Merritt & The Meteors, The Merry Dragons, The Merry-Go-Round, Merryweather, The Merseybeats, The Merseys, 2 different Messengers, The Meters, Methuselah, Michael & The Messengers, Michael & The Mumbles, Michaelangelo, Lee Michaels, Mickey & Sylvia, The Mickey Finn, Middle Of The Road, 2 different Midknights, Midnight Circus, The Midnight Snack, Midnight Sun, Midsommar, The Mighty Avengers, Mighty Baby and many others!!

    • hey, i'm glenn and i'm just getting started on this site. i first got into rock n roll in 1967, right after the 'garage band era' of the mid 60's. i saw rock and roll die out (commercially at least by 1970) and started getting into other types of music at the time. i was happy when i first heard punk on kroq back in 1977 and it was like a breath of fresh air, or whatever it was ;) i started my radio show in 1995 and have been on once a week doing a rock n roll/punk show ever since then. it's been really fun, but i'd like to change to an an all-garage format, which would exclude all the hardcore and classic punk that i've been playing all these years. i'll miss it when i get my new show soon, but we can all probably agree on this site that 60's and retro garage punk is the best of all ;) hope to chat with some garage rockers on here soon and thanks for this site.

    • Yep, a very dynamic and interesting cover!!. Didn´t know this guy! Love it!
      This beat for sure the psychobilly version, (which doesn´t beat the original but is fun)!
      :)
