Hi Tim,

I'm seeing Ty Segall in Tufnell Park next Thursday, is that where you are going? 

Cheers, Coop

Came across a band called Boneyards recently who are from Brighton, England, and they sound REALLY good. I think they sound sort of garagey punk, trashy, lofish with a pleasant hint of surf.

Check them out!

http://boneyaards.tumblr.com/

I'd be interested to hear what people think.

Think they are pretty new and I only came across them because they are listed as support for Ty Segal who i'm seeing next week.

By the way this is exactly the sort of thread that I love this site for. Mmmmmm new bands!

Although some peoples definition of new is a bit.... well.... old... but I'll stop myself there so I don't become a meany.

There is a bunch of cool new bands. I particularly love the Tough Shits, Natural Child, Barrerracudas, Gentleman Jessie, Cozy (new powerpop/glam band on Hozac) Warm Soda (Matthew Melton's new band). Also, Puerto Rican garage like Davila 666 & Los Vigilantes is really great.

My daughter turned me on to BLOOD RED SHOES. They make an incredible amount of noise for a two-piece Think the Strokes meets th' Faith Healers. Their albums have been in heavy rotation in my house for the last 9 months. http://youtu.be/sob1cUVd-vE 

She also is a big fan of a chick who's almost like the female Lou Reed--Regina Spektor who actually played at the White House for Barack Obama (!?) 

Just saw an incredible show with THE INSOMNIACS, HOUSE OF FIRE (psych) and CONSOLIDATED FUZZ (60's garage)

Recently I discovered this great garageband, with some stonerrock mixed in, from France: Kaiser Bitnik.

The Stalins ( Punk.80's , still active ?)

THIS. I love 60's Group Sounds. Gotta love that wyld version of Hey Joe by the Golden Cups. Also can't forget Blind Bird (Please Kill Me) by The Mops.

....I kind of got off most of the Japanese Garage bands that were popular (Well , KNOWN TO SOME , put it that way.) mainly in the 90's. I liked The Sleez Sisters , still do , tho' I only have one single and maybe a track on a comp (If I did'nt trade it in.). Just kinda fun , catchy  all - girl Punk. I still like Mescaline Drive , who were an all - girl Psych/Garage / Pop outfit. Very catchy tunes. There's live video on youboob (Touche , Kopper.) .

But , I'm a little surprised , seems no one's mentioned Group Sound , where this whole thing began in Japan. Group Sound is what they called the mid - 60's Anglo - American - influenced bands in Japan. A lot of this stuff is pretty insane , fuzztone overload sonic boom , but , some , like The Tigers , who were huge in Japan , is more Pop - oriented. Some bands swung both ways. Musically. But , I'd recommend The Spiders , Golden Cups , Carnabeats , Voltage , Beavers , Dynamites , Outkast , Playboy , Rangers , Swing West....The Spiders and Golden Cups were among the biggest , so there IS footage on You Tube, more of The Spiders , last I checked. The excellent "G.S. I Love You" series on Big Beat , curated by Alec Palao , will definitely set you in the right direction. That , and the Teen Trash From Tokyo series (3 volumes , released on colored vinyl , from Italy , they tell us. These came out Late 80'S OR EARLY 90's.) , if you can track 'em down....But , before even that , there was the Elecki movement ,fronted by Guitarist , Singer , Composer and Arranger , Yuzo Kayawa.  Elecki was inspired by The Ventures and Surf music. If you like Los Straitjackets , you already like Elecki. As Group Sound took over , Kayawa got into film sountracks , including some of the popular Giant Monster -Sci Fi films. But , his work in that area was also very Psych and Garage oriented.  I think he still records today. I saw video from just a few years ago , and it still sounded like the early Elecki stuff.  I've only recently taken any interest in post - GS Japanese Rock , but , the first Glam band inJapan , Vodka Collins , come recommended by me , and probably several others , here. Vodka Collins was actually lead by  a White guy from the East Coast , Alan Merrill , with two Japanese band members. Man's Ruin put out a CD of their recordings , very Bowie/Bolanesque with a good , hard guitar sound. Merrill moved to the UK ,and had a hit with The Arrows. That song would go on to be one of the biggest Rock singles by a female artist in the last Quarter of the 20TH Century.

"I Love Rock'n' Roll".

I hit reply by mistake....The Plastics (80'S NEW WAVE) , SHEENA AND tHE ROCKETS (same), The Stalins ( Punk.80's , still active ?)

It's been a while , but I'd still recommend Mescaline Drive , a 80's - 90's (?)  all - Female Psych/Garage / Pop / Punk kinda band . A guy in Japan was nice enough to tell me about their current offshoot band , their name escapes me , now.

 Sleez Sisters - All Female , 90's , Punk .ONE 45 ON SYMPATHY with a version of "Sick on You" by The Boys and a great "Theme song". Holds up pretty well.

Sledge Hammer (80's?) - Surely the only Japanese skinhead band to cover "Merry Jingle" , the Christmas medley recorded by key members of Thin Lizzy and The Sex Pistols as The Greedies.

70'S -VODKA COLLINS , Glam , fronted by roundeye gai - jinius , Allan Merrill (He wrote "I Love Rock'n'Roll". Joan Jett still owes him one. ).

60's - Yuzo Kayawa - Spearheaded the "Eleki" movement ( Influenced by Surf and The Ventures.)  , movie soundtracks , even Garage and Psych . Considered one of the true forefathers of Japanese Rock'n'Roll. Still active.

Group Sound ( Garage /Psych and Pop sung in English and Japanese) - Spiders , Tigers , Golden Cups , Playboy , Carnabeats , Dynamites ( Also with Allan Merrill), Outkast (yes.) , Mops , Beavers , Swing West , Voltage ,. A ZILLION OTHERS.

Dead Boy,

Thank you so much for this!  I'm going to try to order it through diskunion, and, if that doesn't work out, I'll try to contact them via myspace to see if I can purchase some merch from them directly or find out if they plan to come to the USA for a tour!

Hi.

I know nothing about that band, but I just found these record shops which sell their CD.

The Disc Union  (It's a big record shop.)  They have some MP3 samples.  If you can buy it from their, you may get a bonus limited edition CD only for the Disc Union which includes unreleased tune(s) (about 15 minutes).

Happyend (I haven't bought anything from their.)  If you can buy it from their, you may get their badge.

http://e-happyend.sakura.ne.jp/blog/2011/06/_s_gos.html

But I don't know if they can accept international orders. :/

They have:

If you can't buy it, ask me.  I'll ask a friend of mine who runs a record shop.  If he can special order it, I think he can sell and send it to you.

> - YUMI YUMI . A long gone garagepunk / technofuzz duo.... they graced a lot of British shit hole venues and rocked harder than most

In my expeirience I think the hospitality you get on the continent is second to none, Belguim, France, Italy and Spain in particular. Here is an example, On my arrival I was picked up from the Airport, taken for something to eat, then to my hotel, then collected from the hotel in the evening and taken to the venue, via a visit to a restuarant for dinner, the following night I was taken out again for something to eat, then picked up from the hotel in the morning and taken back to the airport. My Flight, Hotel, food and drinks were all paid for, plus they paid me for doing it. Going through some of the reply's on this thread, someone did mention that it depends on who the organisers are. The weekender I am involved. I have taken on board the way I was treated as stated above and we have decided to do our best to set a standard of hospitality. I think if the organisers are DJ's themselves and have done a fiar stint over the years, then they have an understanding of what effort is made to entertain crowds, as we know its not just about turning up with a box of 45s is it. BTW A GOOD TOPIC TO BE DISCUSSED

     That's too funny. I still think the funniest instance of hot (NOT!!!!!) tidy whitey action on stage was when I saw The Damned , I think , in 1997. Of course , The Cap'n was known for lettin' the ol' boy out  , from as far back as the first U.S tour in '77 (With The Dead Boys) . But , at this gig , he was down to his not - so - tidy whities, toward the end of the show ("Make 'em beg"). They were hangin' so low on him , he could have had a hammock - stuffing contest against Felix and his Amazing Underpants , AND WON !  But , WHEN THE SHOW WAS OVER , INSTEAD OF GOING BACKSTAGE (There was'nt really a backstage entrance from the stage , itself.), He just lept off the stage , still in his underwear , until , predictably , a female fan yanked them off. He carried on , smiling , shaking hands , giving people the "Thumbs up" sign , going , "RIGHT , CHEERS! BRILLIANT ! NICE ONE !".

......OH , AND THEY TELL ME OF THIS BAND CALLED NAZ NOMAD AND tHE NIGHTMARES.  THEIR REISSUE IN THE 80's OUTSOLD HALF THE EVA CATALOGUE AND "PEBBLES VOL. MCXVIII . Vatican City Lashes Back.". DAMNED if it did'nt.

Mark George ,    WHA' , Y'MEAN , SOUTH OF LONDON?

I've been too busy to just look it up , but , for eons (That's aoens in Yankeese.)

 I thought Jagger was saying " I'm gonna hit and run rape her in anger"
(In "Midnight Rambler" ) , which , I thought , even for him , was misogynistic as Hell , though , obviously , not coming from the First Person P.O.V. , but from a role played in the song.     But , then , it occured to me , he was probably saying "Rapier" , as he's reading off a list of weapons ( " Knife - sharpened tipee - toe , shoot 'em dead....cloak and dagger....stick my knife right down your throat".).

I also thought an audience member was saying "CODS , HAM !!! CODS , HAM !!!" , BUT , Rock'n'Roll fucks upyour ears.
