Always good to hear Dungen... heard them on BBC Radio 6 today - 'Gjort Bort Sig', on Stuart Maconie's Freakzone and then later (not so freaky though!) Life On Earth! 'Summer Lover' on the Lauren Laverne Show.  On the subject of Swedish psych, there's a good article / interview with The Nomads in the latest issue of Vive Le Rock! magazine, and whilst I'm at it, I'll get some gratuitous self-plugging in, check out the 'Everythang's Groovy Baby!' grebo article - also in the same issue!

You're right. The Nomads did a single , included in Next Big Thing Magazine , in the Late 80's , as The Screaming Dizbusters. Of course , they covered "Next Big Thing" . "Yeh , I knocked 'em dead in Dallas. They did'nt know we were Swedes.".

Aren't the Screaming Dizbusters actually the Nomads? Thought I read that somewhere before (never heard 'em, though)...

It's a Guardian interview with the singer of the Hives.

I picked up something by The Texas Motherfuckers. Sounded pretty OK, and it was cute as it had a little note explaining that they had been playing all over Sweden and Denmark at the time of putting the CD out.

The Tundra Fucks !!!

One band I played on my most recent episode of "40 Oz. Nonsense" are the Gravel Guts. Over on their Bandcamp page, they've got 3 albums available for download, and all free. Here's the link: http://gravelguts.bandcamp.com/

The Hives, Dee Rangers, Backyard Babies, The Stomachmouths, The Nomads, The Locomotions, The Strollers, The Maharajas, The Satans, The Hellacopters, Sons of Cyrus, The Sewergrooves, Henry Fïats Open Sore, The Wylde Mammoths, Crimson Shadows, The Maggots, The Blacks (Savage Records), The Heartattacks... that's all I can think of right now! As you can see, there are tons of great bands from Sweden. Good luck!

I have a comp of swedish garage punk with one of the bands as the Klunk's Klan.  My mind sometime plays tricks on me to read it as the KluKlux Klan and I say "what the" but then I am corrected.

I probably have tons of swedish bands on comps I don't realize are from Sweden but could pull out from the online comp database....but I will only mention one because I was listening to him last week  Little Gerhard, maybe a little rockabilly because he was earlier sixties but I love his Go Go Groove.

I need some new fresh Swedish garagepunk (wild, psych, hippie, beat...) bands for a mixtape.
so please give me some hints. (also old "evergreens" are welcome.) 

thank you!

ANYTHING by The Treniers.

I have to say chime in with The Creeping Ivies, The Mobbs, and this summer's heavy rotation platter is Peter Molinari for that too hot a day, coffee in hand, Dylan feel.

If you want psych, Baby Woodrose put out a new album earlier this year on Bad Afro Records.

The new album from Thee Vicars is pretty solid.

The Dynamite Pussy Club is some good raucous stuff.

Sure, just go to the Slovenly Recordings store.   http://slovenly.com/store/

Also, don't forget about Puerto Rico's Davila 666!

Yeah, i thought so too, and while I didn't care for the lyrics of his "Jeff Beck" number, I thought his delivery was good though, better than how he sounds on record these days (unless it's rerecorded vocals of old unreleased 70s numbers.  He sounds pretty good there too.)

Alison said:

Did you guys see Jagger on Saturday Night Live last weekend?  He played a with the Foo Fighters and Arcade Fire and sang a silly song with Jeff Beck on guitar.  Pretty entertaining.

For all the old "farts":

I think that whole 'doing everything together' actually was a result of and came straight out of "A Hard Day's Night", that made a major league impression on just about every aspiring musician around the world. Garage bands weren't so much just 'a band' as we were a bunch of gangs with guitars thanks to The Beatles!

Yes we have one or two, I'll see about that. Something else I recall about MADD, by the time they became UPSTAIRS PLAYGROUND they had a band house and lived together, the first such thing I had heard of and it sounded like the ultimate lifestyle to me at the time. As MADD they did everything together and went everywhere together, and GONN did as much of that as possible. It wasn't too hard since Fort Madison & Keokuk were only 21 miles apart and we went back & forth continually. But no GONN band house! But in those days that would have been like locking the Irish & the British in the same house anyway. Ha!

kopper said:

Great story, thanks. Craig, if you've got any photos of the GONN hearse, you should post 'em here!

Hearses rule, especially band ones.

I'll second SFRI, Telstar and Boom Boom of Renton (& now I know why I never got my last issue or 7'' from the Fang Club...boo)

good to know.......thanks!

Certainly Estrus, Rip Off, and SFTRI.  By the way, Crypt isn't defunct.  They still put out new records.  Just put out an LP by Atomic Suplex a few months ago.
