I rarely if ever meet anyone with my musical tastes up here in Idaho. I live in a town of about 7800 people in the mountains, the nearest record store is 45 miles away. My husband likes some of the same music, and when I play something he hasn't heard before he usually (not always) likes it, same with my daughter.

There seems to be a lot of punk and rock n roll here in Essen. But I just meet people I like and get one with it. ruhrpottrode.de more punk and not garage at all but should be fun anyway :)

Are we still talking about garage punk here?

Just sayin' is all. Sorry, when someone mentions New Wave, I want to stick sharp objects into things...

not really a quote per say, but it has come to be one of the most quoted/memorable lyrics I can think of

MONEY , as well as interest , are two big hurdles to get over.....I agree , it should have been done ,by now....There was a documentary on PBS , hardly all - inclusive , but , done with their hearts in the right places...on the history of American Garage Rock. Very low budget , but , it should've been a rallying point for similar documentaries....It featured Sky Saxon , Jimy Sohns and Joe Kelly (Shadows of Knight) , and was co - hosted by Bun E. Carlos (Once in a Garage band.), and shot in Wisconsin , largely in a flea market.

I think you're right , much like a  lot of individual cities' "Scenes" from the Late 70's - Early 80'S are getting the documentary treatment....

Well, to be done right, it would have to be enormously comprehensive. With thousands of garage bands sprouting up all over the world from '65 thru '67, it would be quite a task. The best way to go about it would be to do a series of documentaries and focus on regional scenes, such as Texas, the Pacific Northwest, Michigan, Australia, etc. Sort of like how the later volumes of the Pebbles comps were focused.

Teenage Shutdown, Volume 10

Pebbles, Volume 3

Killed by Death, Volumes 1 & 2

Garage Punk Unknowns

Electric Sugarcube Flashbacks, Volume 1

Killed by Glam, Volumes 1 & 2

The Do The Pop comp is absolutely essential. Australian garage rock featuring Radio Birdman, The Saints, and loads of other great bands!

My ultimate fave tune under two: Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs "Stay"

Also it's the only song to hit #1 on the US charts recorded in my town over 50 years ago!

lana loveland of the fuzztones:):)

There aren't many really good bands that sound like the ones you mentioned...one comes to mind though...the PANDORAS:):)......anyhow, few ladies play the organ like Lana Loveland:):)!!

John, me too rarely spend 1 buck on a 45 these days.  But today 20 of my $33 bucks was spent on The Hullabaloos "i won't turn away now" picture sleeve, knocked the antique lady down from 35.  Also got a bunch of small label releases including a pretty cool lo-fi primitive "garage?" 45 by a band called The Townsmen You left Me Crying/Friends on Albun.  I can find no mention anywhere on the net about it... I love it and hate it when that happens.  Another unknown 3rd rate garage beat found.

Also cool doo-wop Arthur Butler -Lock Stock and Barrel (one went for 80)

and this soulster... way cool.

So now I have 6 dollars to spend on Yo Yos.
