    • I had no idea SFTRI was dead... didn't they do The Ettes album last year?

      Long Gone John was certainly proud to be a jerk, but he had an eye for talent. 

      You guys covered most of my favorite departed labels, but I also miss:

      One Louder (UK)- sure, they put out that MOA? re-issue, but nothing new since the 90s

      WorryBird Disk- they were small, but specialized in 7"s, which I'm addicted to

      Iloki- surf label in the 80s, punk in the 90s, dead by 2000

    • Yes saw that cheers :-)

      Just submitted a track, the Halloween volume is a great idea!

    • See message above, Mr. Tea.

      If we have already had songs on other comps can we still submit for the halloween volume? Or do you want all new bands?

    • June 7, 2012 11:57 AM CDT
    • Good question! This special volume will be open to ALL bands, even if yours has already had a song on a previous volume.

      Thanks for asking!

      Are bands that have already been on the compilation series being considered for this special edition, or still just bands which havent been on the comps?

    • I'm honored to announce that Stephen Blickenstaff, the iconic artist who did the cover art for the Cramps' Bad Music for Bad People LP (1983) will be designing the cover art for a special Halloween-themed volume of the comp series with a target release date of early October. I'm beyond thrilled! Oh, and Haunted George (aka Uncle Yah-Yah of the Haunted Shack Theater podcast) will be pulling together some b-movie/horror film soundbites to sandwich in between the songs. Muhahaha!! BANDS: Get your creepiest original songs in as soon as you can for this! Deadline will be September 16.

    • June 7, 2012 8:11 AM CDT
    • Stephen, please get in touch (shoot me a direct message). I have an idea for Vol. 9 for you. Thanks!

      I'd love to do some artwork for the Hideout Comp series.

    • Are the Impediments still around? That band kicked ass. They put out an album in 2009, and i'm pretty sure there were members around 16 or 17.

    • For the 90's I'll add Supercharger and Teengenerate.

    • Before the discussion list explodes with everybody throwing in their two cents...  What about using google docs or something to set up an actual nomination form?  That way we could easily count up entries/noms and maybe set up a few categories

      I would be willing to host it on my website.

    • June 7, 2012 11:30 AM CDT
    • Dang, kopper beat me...

      I vote for the Oblivians, and everyone connected to them.  And Jay Reatard.

      And Billy Childish gets the "Lifetime Achievement Award".

      Honorable Mention: Jeffrey Evans

    • Yes, the Mummies, of course, but wouldn't you also want some "forefathers" in there as well? For example: Link Wray, Dick Dale, Bo Diddley, Wanda Jackson, Hasil Adkins, just to name a few. Maybe start there, then move into the garage rock explosion of the mid-'60's, and on from there...Or were you just considering the garage underground of the '90's through today? Lots of good choices there as well! You'd have to include the Cramps and the Fleshtones as torch bearers, as well as others that formed in the '70's...The Stooges should also be in there, but hell, there's so many we could list! As far as the city it should be based in? Hmmm...

    • June 7, 2012 11:21 AM CDT
    • The Cramps!!!

    • June 7, 2012 11:18 AM CDT
    • Billy Childish!

      Oblivians!

      And, naturally, the Sonics!

    • June 7, 2012 10:24 AM CDT
    • let's set it up! what city? memphis? chicago? tacoma? san fran? nyc? boston? austin?

      who would you nominate? what bands or musicians do you think BEST exemplify the trashy sounds, punk demeanor, bad reputations, stupidest (yet genius) lyrics, lo-fi approach, and thee most primitive sounds eminating from their beatup, retro gear??????

      i would like to offer up the first nominee: THE MUMMIES!

    • June 7, 2012 11:05 AM CDT
    • No, no connection. Electric Frankenstein is a great band though.

      Weren't they connected to Electric Frankenstein?

    • 5th Annual Surf Guitar 101 Convention Promises to be Largest Yet

      Los Alamitos, California: August 11, 2012..........Machine gun staccato guitars drenched in dripping reverb, twangy plunk, bouncing bass, driving, tribal drums.........most are unaware that the musical genre known as “Surf” that was catapulted onto the radar of modern pop-culture by Pulp Fiction has evolved and developed into a full-blown sub-culture with fanatic followers, complete with its own online ground zero, a website called (what else?) surfguitar101.com.

      Once a year, the fanatics convene for a marathon 12-hour festival of all things surf—live performances by 8 of the best bands in the genre from all over the world, a “Living Legends of Surf Jam,” which features performance collaborations from the original players that were there back in the genreʼs 60s beginnings, a surf music and memorabilia marketplace, and an extremely generous raffle featuring music, clothing, collectibles, and musical instruments and accessories from prominent makers/sponsors such as Fender, Eastwood, Nocturne Pedals
      and many more!

      Now in its 5th year, the Surf Guitar 101 Convention has grown from a small gathering of geeks, to an all-out international festival, drawing attendees and interest from across the globe. 2012 promises to be the largest convention yet, with substantially increased advertising, marketing and corporate sponsorship.

      5th Annual Convention Highlights:
      —A historic reunion performance by the band that re-ignited interest in Surf Music in the 80s and
      ushered in the so-called “Second Wave,” JON & THE NIGHTRIDERS
      —A Live set by the group that many consider the best modern surf band in the world, direct from
      Indiana, featuring material from their new album Tribal Fires, THE MADEIRA
      —A performance by Denmark Surf rockers El Ray, on their first American tour
      —The second US visit by Euro-Instro/Surf/Ska/Soul troupe Los Venturas from Belgium
      —From Wisconsin, one of the best traditional surf mainstays since 1994, The Exotics
      —Direct from Florida, Southeast Surf/Rockabilly/Space masters The Intoxicators!
      —Local Orange County, California Hot Rod/Surf legends The Dynotones
      —Celebrating their 6th album, East Coast Surf, Sci-Fi, Spy, Hot-Rod veterans 9th Wave
      —Incredible live reunion performances by first wave bands The Rumblers, of I Donʼt Need You
      No More fame, and Southern Californiaʼs own The Nocturnes
