You should get a "ball park" sound from either of the Danelectros they're both loaded with single coils. The Jagmaster is all humbuckers... but I'm sure, sorta sure, that they used to have a single coil loaded in the neck position?? But them maybe I do get too drunk before going out to shows? but anyway that'll change the sound a bit, you'll still get that warm cleanish neck position sound but a bit thicker, maybe a little thicker than you want. Personally I'd go with either of the dano's, I've never found them thin sounding but I do use a fair amount of fuzz and overdrive. I wouldn't worry about what the drummer thinks, it your ears that you need to please.

I don't think I know the Little Girls, but the Yum Yums are great. I think I have a couple of their albums. Fantastic power pop. What label is the new album on?

Yes, and it's unbelieavable how this post comes after I bought their CD two days ago.
I was so happy because I couldn't find it in Italy, even though I've been looking for it a lot.
Great band. Indeed.

I know this is going to sound dumb, but I just discovered this band thanks to the Yum Yums. I saw the Yum Yums at Gooski's here in Pittsburgh last year in March, and I bought a copy of their latest CD. The last track on the CD is a song called "Earthquake Song," and it's a live track in which the Little Girls join the Yum Yums on stage. This song was released in 1983, but somehow I missed it. I guess I was too busy listening to Quiet Riot's cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize" at the time to take notice.

BTW, I know it was over a year ago when I first heard this song, and I meant to look up this band sooner, but I just kept forgetting about it. I get easily sidetracked. Now I'm friends with them on myspace.

Additionally, I have Little Steven to thank for this, in a very long, roundabout way. Little Steven got me into Vibeke Saugestad, which in turn got me into the Yum Yums, and now the Yum Yums helped me to discover the Little Girls.

The Sonics, The Mummies, the Oblivians, the Ramones, the Cramps, the Saints, the Wipers, the Real Kids, and on and on and on...

Well, I have to go with YOUTHBITCH, check them out. (no partiality AT ALL there!), Wayne the Train Hancock, The Detroit Cobras, Seven Shot Screamers, of course the Cramps and MC-5. LIking Those Darlins lately... Lots of other stuff in almost all other genres too (except top 40 and commercial country)

hey boss! How u today! Yeah i was down in South Queensferry, dont know why, but i actually miss it, all my older friends left for Cali, and surrounding areas, some went to Michigan, so i guess i had to leave too.. These people gave me my first taste of music, i mean like 25 years back, a real mountain of sounds, and most of the usual stuff u all talk about, but as diverse as lefty frizzell, some pre 65 avant garde, lots of acid sounds, mod of course, and the beat thing.. We have a great scene out here now though, the Mummies played a wee while back.. And the scene here is hot anyway..

Again, agreed. Too "hard rock" for my tastes... reminds me of Pat Benatar or Heart. Gimme the early Pandoras any day over this. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

oooppppss....I was mistaken...Slickee Boys actually play Hazy Shades Of Winter on that Midnight Christmess LP....sorry, got my Paul Simon songs mixed up...

hi, i will try! thanks so much!! whatwave dave said:

Probably The Slickee Boys out of Washington DC area.....think that was on one of the Midnight Christmess LP's (on Midnight Records outta NYC) that came out in the late 80's/early 90's. Might also have been on one of their LP's.

No! Camden and the High Roads, a Kilburn tribute act, haha. No malice taken mate. keep it punk!!!

That'll be Kilburn and the High Roads then ;-))))))))))))))) no malice meant my friend just being a punk pedant

Think The Ding Dongs have been around for a little while...but with BBQ and Bloodshot Bill on the road most of the time they probably rarely cross paths. Check Mongrel Zine 8 for more info... Rinjo Njori said:

Doubtful... I think BBQ saw this coming and enlisted Bloodshot Bill as his new wingman. Notice how the Ding Dongs is a full album but Tandoori Knights is two songs? JK

perhaps this will mean a Les Sexareenos return???

Big Bird by Eddie Floyd

She's Looking Good by Rodger Collins

Danger Heartbreak Dead Ahead by The Marvellettes

"Makin' Deals" by The Satans or "So What" by The Lyrics both come to mind pretty quick. Oh, "Go On Leave" by Red Beard and the Pirates is another one.

Try it now... Rinjo Njori said:
