    • Matt: Grab the Panic LP if you can, don't think they pressed many. And Panic played a show with Simply Saucer somewhere in Toronto last night....facebook told me so, so it must be true!!

       

      catl did break up for awhile when their drummer Andrew (from the Deadly Snakes) left the band. They are now a 2 piece w/Sarah on the drumbs/vocals and Jamie on guitar/vocals. Way more primitive than they used to be, think you'd dig them.

    • Hey! I just saw that Panic album down the street. Unfortunately I didn't have the money (10 bucks, how sad) to buy it. If it is still there in a few days I will probably grab it.

    • This Panic is interesting. The singer sort of sounds like Dave Thomas (Ubu). Cool stuff. 

       

      We shared a practic space with Catl at one point. Seen them play live a few times, they were really good. They split up, I think due to a couple within the band breaking up. 

       

      I've heard about the new Simply Saucer, but have yet to hear any tracks off of it. I'll definitely be picking that album up when it's out.

    • Here's a coupla new records that i've blown my wad to:

       

       

      catl....This Shakin' House LP on CATL Records. 2 piece blues/rock'n'roll combo outta Toronto. Drumbs, guitar and vocals with some added harp/keybd/banjo to fill out the sound on this, their 4th LP. Slightly more produced than previous, but still raw and alive enough to keep me intested. Way different than their live show which is a dance and sweat marathon of good times.  This is a band that would should be on the Voodoo Rhythm label.

       

      Panic...Bad Fantasies....self released by a bunch of veterans of the garagepunk wars from Toronto. Sounds like a bad LSD trip prior to suicide as all coping mechanisms are lost and there's only one thing left to do....here's a link to give it a listen.

      http://soundofpanic.bandcamp.com/

      There's also a brand new Simply Saucer 12" just out called Baby Nova. Recorded in Detroit w/Jim Diamond and out on Schizophrenic records from Hamilton Ontario Canada. I've got a download, but need the real deal for the full sonic assault.

    • Kopper:

       

      Personally i like this better....ie all the music topics in the forum under one header. Makes it real easy to find anything new that i might be interested in. Less clicks and searching hence more participation!

      And Happy Belated Birthday Kopper!

      If you guys haven't noticed, I went ahead and did away with the segration of eras for the music discussion area, basically moving all of the topics from those forums into this one, which was formerly "Shakin' Street," and is now just simply called "General Music Discussion"... What about that name? Can you think of something better to call this forum? Should we go back to just calling it Shakin' Street, or go with something new? I'm open to suggestions.

      Thanks,

      Gotcha. I was seeing the old ones in moderator view but I checked the forum page incognito and see how it looks publicly. My personal opinion would be to move the Lounge (non-music) above Regional since Regional is so much longer and it gives it a greater chance of being noticed. If someone sees Regional they'll know to keep scrolling until they find their region of interest.

      Hey Kopper,

      I'm one of these people who are here one day and gone the next for weeks at a time. This is probably mostly due to school and being busy. I've never been on Facebook, Instagram, or whatever is hot these days. I do frequent Terminal Boredom a lot. I even used to be on the old old Garage Punk Message board many years ago. 

      One thing I notice here on the forums is there is not a lot of participation. Sometimes I click on topics and nothing has changed for days or weeks. I think maybe narrowing the topics down a bit to be more inclusive may help. Such as music and non-music. Instead of bouncing back between punk, garage, new music..etc. Politics, books, and whatever else could be non-music. Sometimes I don't feel like looking in every thread to see if something interesting is posted, but if I could just look in a couple, I may see something I was not expecting to see and get involved in a conversation. 

      I'm not trying to put down the way you have it going on here. I think the site is great and like coming to check it out. This is just an idea, which I thought may stimulate more conversation. 

       

      Also, some of those sections that are at the top, the "last post" or "last reply" is from more than a year ago, sometimes 3+ years ago. I'm sure this gives someone the impression that nothing is going on here anymore. So maybe it should just be "Music" and "Not Music" and then maybe the super organized ones would be the Regional?

    • Radio What Wave Playlist July 17/2014

       

      1. Simply Saucer....Baby Nova....from their 12" record of the same name that just came out.



      2. Teenage Head....My Mommy's Pot....from the Head Disorder CD from 1995. Teenage Head is playing at Call The Office here in sleepy London Ontario Canada on saturday night.



      3. Teenage Head....You're The One I'm Crazy For....from the Teenage Head with Marky Ramone CD. Frankie Venom's last recordings with the band and recorded by longtime Ramones pal Daniel Rey.



      4. Teenage Head...Little Boxes....as above.



      5. Ramones....Basement.....from 1975 demos produced by Tommy Ramone RIP....this part of our show is dedicated to Tommy, the brains behind the machine, who passed away this week.



      6. Ramones...53rd & 3rd... as above.



      7. Ramones....I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend...from a Norton 7", 1975 demos produced by Marty Thau. If Marty had produced the first LP, things mighta been a little different and the world just might have accepted the Ramones instead of making fun of them. The band was considered a joke by the mainstream for many years....when in reality the joke is on the mainstream.



      8. Ramones...Judy Is A Punk....flip side of the above.



      9. Ramones...Havana Affair...from the first LP, 1976. I remember seeing ads for this LP in Rolling Stone magazine and it was completely different from anything else we'd ever seen up until then! Stripped down monochrome photo that looked like it came from another world. Mystery and intrigue as we had no idea what this band sounded like...radio play? in yer dreams! The only way to hear this one was to go out and buy it at Records on Wheels here in London Ontario as that was the place to buy records that were non top 40. My buddy Derek went out and bought it as we were bugging him about looking like Joey Ramone at the time....tall, skinny, glasses, introverted and a head full of black hair. Turned out we all thought the Ramones were great but had to wait until 1980 to see them live!



      10. Ramones...Now I Wanna Be A Good Boy....from their 2nd LP, Leave Home.



      11. Ramones...We're A Happy Family...from their 3rd LP, Rocket To Russia. This is my fave Ramones tune. A socio political statement on the family unit as a functional entity in a disfunctional world. Yep, it sums up the family unit alright!



      12. Lionel Lodge...Smile...from his brand new CD, The Agitator. Local artist whom you may remember from such 80's London Ontario combos as The Catch and Nosmo King Jr.



      13. Legend Killers...Loaded Gun...from the We're Workin' On It CD. This goes out to drummer Jeff Depew, for whom there was a benefit at Call The Office last weekend. Jeff is having some health issues and can't work and needs all the help he can get to help cover his medical expenses. Check the Call The Office page for details on how to assist.



      14. Vintage Experience...You Don't Look Good To Me....demo from Ryan In The Reds latest combo. Ryan hosts Rock City Madness on the garagepunk hideout site on the web.



      15. Dustbin Flowers....What I'm Missing Now...from their brand new CD, II. Local combo who are currently on tour on the west coast of Canada.



      16. Dustaphonics....The Message...from their brand new CD on Dirty Water Records Big Smoke, London Town.



      17. MFC Chicken...Chicken 'Bout You....from their brand new CD on Dirty Water Records, Solid Gravy.



      18. MFC Chicken...DJ Booth....as above. I can certainly appreciate this song's lyrics!



      19. Freddie Blassie...Pencil Neck Geek....from the Rhino LP of the same name and a request.



      20. catl....Hold My Body Down....from their latest LP, This Shakin' House.



      21. Barrence Whitfield and the Savages...Ramblin' Rose...recorded live 12/3/2011 on Terre T's Cherry Blossom Radio Show on WFMU.



      22. Noble Savages....Music Will Kill You....from their latest CD. Dedicated to Rob Munro.



      23. The Mogs....Bored....from the El'Mogamundo CD.



      24. The Mogs....Thunder and Lightning.... as above.



      25. Frankenstein 5....Cryin' Shame....from a live to air on CHRW from the early 90's. Rob Munro and James Bond in their prime!



      26. Frankenstein 5...Hey Joe.... as above.



      Thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!! That's the fuel that keeps us going!! Next week we'll be doing a Johnny Winter tribute as he passed away the day this show aired. Remember, Birds Don't Row Boats!



      We've got another project coming on, Rock'n'Roll Rent Party. It's going to be a live show, first sunday of the month from 3 till 7 PM at the APK right here in sleepy London Ontario. Local rockers, The Mongrels will be the resident band and there'll be another band joining them for each show. There's no cover, we'll be passing around the hat and possibly selling raffle tickets on a pie or cake. And i'll be the MC to announce the bands and other stuff. Hope to see you at the opening for this on the first sunday of August....more details coming.







      And here's a link to the podcast:

      WELCOME!!

    • Alot of movies that deal with Punks get it all wrong , but that's what' s so fun about them.

      '' Breaking Glass"  stars Hazel O'Connor (Former Girlfriend of Hugh Cornwall of The Stranglers and recording artist in her own right.) as a Punk singer whose band takes off , but , when fame happens too quickly ,she loses sight of her ideals , and becomes very Ziggy Stardust - like. Cries of "Sellout !" abound. I first saw it on a double bill with "Rude Boy"in '80 or early '81 ....You've probably seen the latter, but , if not , it deals directly The Clash trying to figure out how not to become absorbed by rising fame and , well , cries of "Sellout !".

      "Jubilee" - I have a copy , but it'll only play on my computer , and I watch movies on TV , as God intended.

      "Return of The Living Dead" - One of the funnier movies , post - Repo Man , to deal with Punk and get it all wrong , though about half of the soundtrack is great.

      ''Valley Girl" - REALLY misses the boat with Punk , esp. for L.A., BUT IT'S A FUN TEEN FILM.

                           The Plimsouls and Josie Cotton mime to a couple of their own songs.

      "Neighbors" - Deals with Punk , in passing. John Belushi's innocent , cherubic Daughter comes home all punked out , two tone hair , black leather , a stash of edible panties and "Holiday in Cambodia" blasting on her boom box.

      "Cotton Candy" - Not a Punk film , but recommended.  Ron Howard's considerably tame answer to "Rock'n'Roll High School". The music is real nerdy , performed by Charles Martin Smith , who worked opposite Howard in "American Grafitti" (As "Toad"), and stars as an idealistic teen (Who was already about 25 at the time , and looked older , still ...shades of "Happy Days"who goes head to head with the "Bad Guy Band" , who own his High School. The Bad Guy band is played by future members of Dallas Punk/Psych legends , Quad Pi.). Clint Howard ( Rock'n'Roll High School.) co - stars , making it Punk by default. He publically knocked his Brother's choice of music , saying "The Ramones were my kind of people !).

       

      TV - You may know all of these examples , but.....

      "Quincy" , "CHIPs" , "CPO SHARKEY" (Don Rickles goes to a Punk club and meets The Dickies. Kid Congo and other LA PUNKSTERS ARe EXTRAS.) , "Sugar Time" (Very SHORT LIVED SERIES. BARBI BENTON AND HER GIRLFRIENDS TRY TO MAKE THE BIG TIME AS A SINGING GROUP. In one episode , they "Go Punk", WEARING GARBAGE BAGS FOR DRESSES , singing "GARBAGE! GARBAGE ! WE WANT TRASH!".....

      WKRP in Cincinatti - You've got to remember the episode where the station hires a band from England , The Scum of The Earth , who turn out to be more Power Pop than Punk (Or more like REO Speedwagon...it's been a while.), to do a concert , then find out they like to beat up on members of the audience.

      They Young Ones - OK , VYVIAN was not a Punk , despite his being labelled as such. He was more like a latter - day EngliSh Rocker. Not the previous generations' bikes and black leather and 50's R'N'R variety (Hilariously misrepresented in "Quadrophenia" as VERY long haired and bearded, because those were the only extras they could find who could ride !), but people who liked both Metal and Punk , BEFORE IT WAS FASHIONABLE , but leaned more toward Metal. I knew guys like this , from England , and they called themselves Rockers.

      Square Pegs - It's not Punk ! It's New Wave ! It's a totally different head !

                             Johnny Slash , our fearless leader , was the first TV counter cultural icon of his time , even if he appeared to be a poseur (Like Maynard G. Krebs , THEE first counter cultral icon on TV , period .).   Slash , at least , was an EX - pUNK rOCKER.

    • In the past month I've re-watched Suburbia and Class of 1984. These have kind of put me in the mood to watch similar stuff. Any suggestions?

       

      I really want to see “We Are the Best!” which just recently came out.

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWWNd-eybN0

       

      Fabulous Stains, Times Square, Repo Man type movies is kind of what I’m interested in. Not punk documentaries per se.

       

    • July 14, 2014 12:48 AM CDT
    • Hmmmm.... Haven't heard Stars (Syd Barrett , Twink ,ca. 1972.)

                   The Plastic Dipshit Band (Thrown together band that subbed for a no -show group at The Cincinatti Pop Festival , with Cub Koda , Suzi and Michael Quatro , and I think Nancy and Patti Quatro and others. 1971? Not the festival that was on TV.).

                  Noel Redding Band (With Eric Bell - ex Thin Lizzy , Them.) Saw it the other day , though.  Obviously , I could look it up on You Tube or Something.

      Gene Vincent backed by The Alice Cooper Group . Toronto Rock'n'Roll Revival , 1969.

      Gene Vincent with Billy Zoom on Guitar , L.A. , circa 1970 - 71.

      Elvis and Tom Jones on the same fucking stage (There is at least one picture.).

    • This was one of my favorite threads in the old Hideout. Well worth keeping alive. I thought of it today when I heard this song on a Native American radio show (Singing Wire, KUNM, Albuquerque)

      Brother Panti-Christ said:
      Howdy Folks... I think the part I really like about this community is that we have a pretty focused taste in music, surely based around garage punk. But damn, I've been listening to '66 garage since I was a kid. And I've been around the block and thought I heard it all. SO, in this day and age i am still digging in record bins looking for eras of lost styles from Surf to Blues to Country to Swing to Psych to Punk to Trash to whatever...( i could keep going on here ) My point being, Is there any cool undiscovered stuff?? Have we heard it all?? Weird African Tribe records or Russian Folk music has been turning me on so much lately because I NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE!! I would love to turn you on with my records via Sonic Nightmares radio show here at GaragePunk.com so if you think you might have something tasty, i dunno, some cajun hillbilly soul music or something, post it here in this discussion so we all can take a leap into some muddier waters. We all deserve it, so put on your thinking caps and let's blow each others minds... and hopefully stop talking about the new Guns N Roses release... with glove Brother Panti-Christ
