Also "You Treat Me Bad" by the Jujus.

Mojo Nixon and Reverend Horton Heat, of course.

Yeah, this trailer can elicit a giggle or two, but on a serious note, this is actually a very good film. Well "good" as far as drive-in movies go. If you get a chance, check this out, I think you'll be entertained. I have this on dvd, as it came packaged with a bunch of other exploitation films in a "bargain priced" boxed set. But you may be able to find it online (streaming on Netflix?), or your local dvd mart.

I know this is technically a music discussion, but I had to include this trailer from an often overlooked classic, "The Pink Angels". Personally, I like some of the tunes included in this film:

That IS a real good soundtrack... Davie Allan spoke of playing the huge bike rally , The Love Run , in California. It's bigger than  Sturgis , I've read. The Bikers asked him to play some      C & W , INSTEAD OF BADASS BIKER MUSIC...    There is a difference between the movie soundtrack music and the stuff a lot of Bikers prefer. The Grateful Dead always had a huge following with The Angels. So did Big Brother and The Holding Co. . Blue Cheer , it seems , had a lesser following. Even tho' they had an ex- Angel Manager , and they sounded like a chopper being dumped off the top of The Empire State Building....David Allan Coe , too , has a very big Biker following. I like him , too , but , it's surprising when you realize how mellow music for badasses can be....

This band, the Angry Breed, are here on the Hideout, and they're into the biker image as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DefUUrerCc0

Yeah, we're going for a biker image although we're not into "real" biker culture. Our thing are the movies and soundtracks of the biker exploitation film genre, mainly during the years 1966-68, although everything we do are our own originals. We're currently working on two songs for a split 45 EP with Italian fuzz masters The Hangee V (due to be released early next year) that will come loaded with... yes, you guessed it - FUZZ!

Btw, I just picked up Devil's Angels which is now out on DVD for the first time. The movie soundtrack is totally packed with great Davie Allan stuff - just check out the first few minutes to get an idea of what I'm talking about:

Fuzz on!

The hits keep comin' . Thank you , Swahili Bob.

Pat , I see. somehow , your message kept turning uplike it was new...No big thing , tho'.

Pat said:

I left this message some months ago... i'm in France .

 

John Battles said:

Pat , did you just leave this message ? It reads like you did . I could be mistaken , my apologies if I am. Tonight (Sunday) is the last night. My friend told me you could'nt get tickets for love or money , if you just showed up on the street , but that a couple of people got in on one , but not all four , nights after some heavy hustling. It was that way  for that OTHER festival....

John Battles said:

It's the same all over. I saw The Cynics last week with about 35 people , and The Fleshtones , several months ago , to maybe fewer , still. The Woggles do OK when they're here , but they have'nt been in several years. In the 90's , when the economy was better , and there was a band boom , I bought way more new records than I needed. Some of the new "Garage" bands I only really needed to listen to once or twice , and then move on. Whereas , I first saw The Fleshtones in '84 , and The Cynics in '87 or early '88. They still bring the rock (Super Rock !), so , I'll still go see 'em....I can tell the hipsters , my Garage Rock is still alive , sorry about yours.

This is NYC and Garage Rock shows for the big boys (Dirtbombs, Gories, Black LIps, etc. ) fill places like the Bowery, but bands like The Woggles, Fleshtones,etc. can barely fill a 100 person venue. Reigning Sound played at the Bell House but I missed the show.
The Bellhouse is great, not too big and not too small. It's rectangluar, but the stage is on the long side so no matter where you stand your pretty close to the stage. I would guess there will be more out of towners than actual New Yorkers.

Pat said:

Does anyone knows how many tickets are available ?? is the venue big enough ??

 

i 'll try to figure how to get there, i've just come back from NY two weeks ago !!!!

You're killin' me....with kindness. Hope , otherwise your stay here was as good as can be.

And just like when it's purchased in a record store , music sounds better , purchased at a live show. You know you're helping the band with the bare necessities (No , not beer and porn , I mean gas , food , guitar strings , whatever...) , and you're probably saving money getting it straight from the source....

"...bands who are clueless how to distribute their music via the Internet..."

 

I guess I am clueless.  I would have thought that a band would have a better chance at selling music at the show right after having played live.  If you don't have something to sell right then and there, the music purchase will get blown off and forgotten about unless you made a huge impression.  Though I prefer vinyl, CDs are a lot cheaper to make and easier to transport than records (2 big plusses for labels, bands, and buyers) so in my opinion, they still have a place.

"to people on low incomes/no bank account who have limited or no access to internet facilities".

I think this was more in reference to people who have problems BUYING stuff on line, not bands who have trouble selling on line.  Not clueless. Just don't have a credit card or a bank card with enough funds on the account, not to mention fees a bank will hit you with for using the card.

It doesn't matter how much you like them or how handy you might think they are for bands who are clueless how to distribute their music via the Internet (*ahem*, Bandcamp?), but it has a LOT to do with the fact that CDs JUST AREN'T SELLING anymore. Period. And when stuff stops selling, it doesn't matter how fancy you think it is/was, it's gonna go the way of the dinosaur, or, in this case, the 8-track tape.

Jonclock said:

CD's might well become obsolete but not in the next two years? CD's are still relative to bands that want to get their own music out and to make it as accessible as possible to as wider audience as possible i.e to oldies like myself who can't be bothered signing up to yet another internet music provider or to people on low incomes/no bank account who have limited or no access to internet facilities. Not to mention that small independent vinyl/cd shops are some of the more interesting places to go on the high street these days. What about CD audio superiority and audio production aspects? I'm not being nostalgic - I like CD's. Don't believe the hype - long live the cd.

The Cynics and The Buff Medways. Also Black Mountain recorded a couple awesome garage rock songs for the latest version of the Sub Pop Singles Club.

Well, in terms of that pure unadulterated garage sound, I humbly suggest THEE DIRTYBEATS, from Chapel Hill NC.  We specialize in recreating the tough primitive vibe of early garage and psychedelia (the sound that inspired early proto-punk pioneers like MC5 and The Stooges) using period instruments, including original KAPA, Mosrite, Rickenbacker and Fender guitars, Fender and Ampeg amps, Big Muff fuzzes, and Morley wahs.

The sound is prickly, gritty, unpredictable... and utterly glorious.

For a limited time, you can download our just-released debut ep for free at

http://theedirtybeats.bandcamp.com  It's been doing shockingly well (3 straight weeks on WXDU DUKE UNIVERSITY STUDENT RADIO'S TOP TEN OF THE WEEK), which we take to mean there is quite a thirst out there for the pure stuff.

Warm regards,

THEE DIRTYBEATS - maximum vintage garage

2011 DEBUT: http://theedirtybeats.bandcamp.com   <--- share this link!

I was going to say The Ugly bEATS , TOO , THO' i DON'T HAVE MANY RECOMMENDATIONS , BEING OLDER AND EMBITTERED....But , there's also The Sons of Hercules , also from San Antonio. Been around about 20 years , but , still current. The Velveteen Loveseat , from Denver , they may have split up (?) , Chicago's own Dyes , Bama Lamas , and Heebie Jeebies (Who are part Country , Garage and Rockabilly.), Austin's Eve and The EXILES , The Bad Mr.and Mrs. Fred Cole and Pierced Arrows , the sporadically active Subsonics , from Atlanta ...OK , SO i CAN THINK OF A FEW...

Hidden Masters
Groovy Uncle
Frowning Clouds
Runaway Suns
Ugly Beats
The WildKat Tamers [more rockabilly/rock 'n' roll than garage, but dynamite nonetheless]
Galileo Seven

Google/myspace/facebook any of the above and you'll get a fine selection of modern-day brilliance!

I think it was on a Monday and before anybody knew who they were.

You guys should save your pennies and bring them to Windor next time they come 'round.

for a kind of trashy sound from the experience ive had with my vt20+ go to black face turn your mids right down put the treble at just above half and bass at 8/9 oclock  put the gan on10/11oclock ish and crank it also ad some reverb 9not too much ,preferably spring if you can get hold of one or a simulation of one)

Dec. 3 Jerry Lee Lewis and ? and The Mysterians are playing in Chicago. NOT on the same bill , of course. That would be too good to be true , and NOT a logistical nightmare....Jerry Lee's show is supposed to start at 6 :30. Hopefully , there won't be 3 or 4 opening acts. THEN , i'LL HAVE TO HOOF IT CLEAR ACROSS TOWN TO SEE Question mark (WHO , HOPEFULLY , WILL HAVE 3 or 4 opening acts.), THAT SHOW IS SUPPOSED TO START AT 8:00 or 8:30.

Otherwise , Rocket From The Tombs is also playing next month. Gotta look into that.
