In the past couple of years, I've seen Gonn (in St Louis) and The Alarm Clocks (last year's Gonerfest).  Both were really good live.

The Remains were the undisputed highlight of The Ponderosa Stomp , THE YEAR THEY PLAYED (2009?) . My only criticism is , that they have so many great originals , why bother with covers at all ? But , I know how it is , a lot of bands don't have time to work out their entire back catalogue....They only did maybe 3 covers , but , still....Definitely way the hell up there on my list !

The Monks, definitely! Not just the best reformed live act I've seen, but one of the best shows I've seen in my entire life.
After that are The Remains.
Oh, and July were pretty pretty decent this last summer. The evoked quite well the atmosphere of THE album, what is not an easy task.

? and The Mysterians never fail ! Last time I saw them was the best one , yet. I have'nt seen The Sonics , but , I have the live 10" and have seen enough evidence on You Tube to know they've still got it.....Could have happened 25 years ago , but , everything happens for a reason.....I DOUBT THAT VERY MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT  IT WOULD EVER HAPPEN. I only read , yesterday , that Gerry Roslie had a heart transplant several years go , so , if that's true ,  be glad he's here , with us , now . The Alarm Clocks KILL , I've only seen them once , but , was blown away at how great they were.

I have to say that the Sonics have pretty much been a blast at least live.  ? and the Mysterians were really good too in my opinion. For lesser known bands, album wise, the Alarm Clocks sound real good.  I saw a youtube with the Knight Riders of "I" fame that was real decent.  But I haven't really been privy to a lot else going on so I really can't give an opinion. But I've liked what I have heard or seen of these groups.

Yes , sadly , Dave Day , who was a sweetheart of a guy , a loveable big kid and the greatest Banjo player in Rock 'n'Roll , passed away a few years ago , as did Drummer , Roger Johnstone (sic) , before him...So , there is no more monks , but , we're lucky we got to see them , because , I agree , they were great. Nitpickers don't see it so , and , I'd say fuck 'em , but , they're entitled to their take on it....... Gary Burger still owns his home studio in Bemidji , Minnesota , but , Eddie Shaw seems to be more busy with his writing , and Larry went AWOL again. I saw Gary do a solo gig , backed by The Goblins , a few years back . It was great . Who can say?

i would recommend the sonics, the monks (if they are still around, i think the banjo player passed away)the standells, ? & the mysterians i 've seen them live and they are great!

This is a great idea!!

The Hideout is way too international to pick one spot, it would have to be a tour. That sounds even more difficult. Maybe an online concert in real time that could go from location to location around the world with different bands playing at home. Charge memebers a few bucks so they can view it live!

Hey Kopper! Kewl AS -- Thank you! And of course, you will be the first to know :-) Mel

I don't mind. If you need a word, then GO. Do it. You already have the site to use to network and get the word out, so good luck and keep us posted!

We've got plenty o' bands right here on the Hideout to get at least an entire day/night of bands to play here in the Southern Hemisphere. The Hideout Goes Down Under. :-) A satellite event to be sure. And a good network of radio stations to spread the word...

Just saying... give us the word and we'll get crackin'...

Jeez, I'd never want to meet any of you dickheads on purpose.

OK, just kidding.  I almost never run into people with the same music taste.  Basically if I want to go to a show or even the record store, I go alone.  When I do run into someone with the same taste at a party or something, I get pathetically giddy.  That said, I'm still amused every time my friends make jokes about my not liking bands that have more than 50 fans or bands that someone else has actually heard of.  It's a point of pride.

Never...

If i meet someone with same taste it's because somehow i "provocate" the meeting by going where i could find those people ! By going in record stores or r'n'r bars in other towns/countries...

not often enough that's for damn sure.

Outside of shows/gigs of course.

I guess we are kind of a specific group of people but I was pretty impressed today with a kid at the check out at my grocery. He had a sort of Paul Weller haircut and was wearing a Vibrators, Damned and the Jam pin on the shirt.I was like, "you got taste man" and we got in a conversation about music. It's weird that we didn't know each other but anyhow, it's reassuring to meet people who like good music.

I learned how to sing while playing guitar using the Ramones. A song like "Rock-a-way Beach" has all the chord changes during breaks in the singing. So it allows you to do one thing at a time.

Here's the honest truth: Singing and playing guitar is like riding a bike. It takes a while to get the balance, but once you figure it out, it's easy to keep going forward.

Alright, for super current I have to throw Ty Segall into the mix.  Either his self-titled or his collaboration with Mikal Cronin Reverse Shark Attack.  Maybe not "best of all-time" but I think we've pretty much moved away from that exclusive here and those albums play constantly for me.  Also, seconds or thirds or whatever on The Cramps.

Many glam acts cribbed riffs from earlier garage bands. Think how "Jean Genie" and The Sweet's "Blockbuster" were plagiarised from the Shadows of Knight's "Oh Yeah".

I would just like to say that Prima Donna put on a kickass show in Cleveland on Tuesday night:)

Too many songs by the Ramones and the early Beatles to even name:)

The Dickies - "Give It Back"

http://youtu.be/mGG0GLBCezg

"The Human Mertzes" , Plan 9 . 13 seconds.

"Bumble Bee Zombie" , "Please Don't Kill My Baby" , Roky Erickson...I THINK they're under two minutes.

"Sun Arise" (Rolf Harris cover) , Alice Cooper Group.

"River Ran Dry" Rev. Horton Heat. They had to add a verse , 20 plus years later , to make the studio version 2 minutes or longer.

 I picked one up when I was in San Fracisco. Still have it , it's great. Thank you for saying such nice things about Roctober.       John.
