Thank you! You've made my girlfriend very happy, she's Italian American and loves this stuff. Her father's from Sicily and can't believe it when she's listening to it, it bugs him out! FREDDI said:

There's an excellent compilation from Get Hip "60's Beat Italiano" that really worth,
"Garage Beat in Florence" is another good one. Clem Sacco is a little more trashy,or I ragazzi dai Capelli Verdi that was the second name of Ranger Sound that both made good stuff. More beaty but great names of those years,have been Jaguars,I Corvi,Rokes,I Ribelli, I Bisonti,

Celentano has been one of the first forgoer of rock'n'roll and R'n'B here in Italy.
There are some compilations that collect that period (1958-1964) and they worth.
In the rest of his life he done every sort of presumed art and the politician too.
Avoid from that.

Fast song,with muddy energetic guitars and psychotic wails disguised as singing!
Along with lots of tongue-in-cheek self-rony!
Who else than Hell Crab City could
put the Knack's My Sharona bass lines into one bed with Queens of the Stone Age space overdrive, Laika and the Cosmonauts
surf guitars and Nirvana's Negative Crip hysterics !

Thumbsup for the last.fm iPhone app too, if ya got one of those doohickeys. Just type in an artist and it will stream a "radio show" of all similar artists ... not always hundred percent on the related artists bit, but mostly pretty ok ...

I like the metrics because I listed to a ton of music throught the day. It's nice to validate that it's not white noise in the background.

yup .... http://www.last.fm/user/crankinhaus feel free to add me!

King Khan & The Shrines...nice!

Jimmy Ordinary of the Tyrades used a Jagmaster into some kind of Fender tube amp. I think that guitar sound could only be described as rabid. It should satisfy your needs. Just play it first and make sure you like it. tom mcneill said:

yeah i have been think about buying a new guitar to the jagmaster sounds like a awsome idea yeah dose any one know any good cheap guitars that sound good for heavy punk and garage punk

I get great dirty chime out of my JTM45. All I have to do is crank the master volume and I get into Dave Davies circa 'I Need You'. If that isn't great garage tone, I don't know what is.

I think more than the amp, it's important how to eq. Lots of treble w/ mild overdrive and fuzz to kick you for leads.

People also say don't use Gibsons for garage rock and again I'd say with the proper eq and playing technique you can get a great garagey tone. YMMV but I have to stand up for my own gear. :D

I'm in the process of trying to find band members in the Bournemouth/Dorset area (UK). I play an original 1967 Supro through a Fender Champ from around 1972. I can get a good sound from it but feel very limited at the moment - I think i'm gonna need a bigger amp and maybe a couple of pedals (analogue of course). I was thinking of playing through a decent old Fender bass amp as I have been advised that this often produces good results. Any suggestions?

sounds cool - please, keep me updated on your releases!
any info for the show ist great!
g.

Some great bands on the bill. Since when did the Dragons reform?
