damn. until I found this website I did not really check out new music, it was all nuggets/pebbles/back from the grave and THE CRAMPS. via SAVAGE KICK and R'n'R SUICIDE, the various incarnations of Kahn and BBQ were one of the first new garage groups I really dug. so very sad. although I don't really believe "that's it".
really I'd like to hear BBQ's side of the story. Thee King rules, but let's face it: his cream corn aint exactly vacuum packed too tight.
PS: I hate laurie anderson. I'd see her on night flight and it was like "your parents' art rock".

if bbq is not a retard they'll get back together.

KK sounds like a mess... for every man there is a breaking point.

Crazy shit! I never liked the look of that opera house... far to pointy.

Now I see that they are going to finish the tour together in China, so maybe they can patch things up. http://www.facebook.com/thekingkhanbbqshow?ref=search&v=wall#!/thekingkhanbbqshow

Personal and the Pizzas-Raw Pie: If the Stooges had New Jersey accents and sung about pizza and retards--it's that good! The must listen to record (cassette) of the year.
Thee Oh Sees-Warm Slime: Psychedelic garage rock. What I imagine a nuggets band would sound like in 2010.
Dead Farmers-Go Home: Band from Sydney, Australia. Thick sound with tons of wah-wah. Heavy like Blue Cheer.

I had never heard of the points..yeah, Ive been away for a few years. Checked out their myspace page...and loved it. thanks man

I've been spinning The Beasts Of Bourbon Box Set it's the first 3 LP's THE AXEMAN'S JAZZ,Sour Mash & Black Milk on Bang Records very nice kick ass release!And it was only 50 e from munsterama.com if you Gun Club, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds you'll love this.

To all these great comps you could add "Cough syrup for Elvis Impersonators" released in 1989 on the BIG GAL label.
Do you include "Psycho Serenade" in the Wavy Gravy series ? It's great anyway !
"It's finking time" is a super cool one too but it's more 60's "garage" oriented.
You could try the "International Vicious Society" serie too,full of international weirdos'n'psychos, on the UNIVERSITY OF VICE record label.
In a more sleazy, Vegas grind style : "Swing for the crime" on the JAZZBO label.
Cheers !!!

I have the Forbidden City Dog Food album. It's pretty cool. I was gonna say, I just got one of the Mad Mike comps on Norton. Those are pretty demented.
June 11, 2010 11:01 PM CDT
Forbidden City Dog Food - This was supposedly one of several tapes that Lux Interior made for friends. Howie Pyro and/or Kogar the Swingin' Ape would know all about it. Axe em!
Yah-Yah

Here's a few i dug outta my collection that you might dig, but might be just about impossible to find these days:
Ho-Dad Hootenanny! it's on the Ho-Dad label...fucked up trash'n'roll from the late 50's to mid 60's
Teen-age Riot! on the Atomic Passion 1957 label.....fucked up trash'n'roll from the late 50's to early 60's including Kip Tyler's Jungle Rock
Real Gone Garbage...on the Romulan label...trash from the late 50's to early 60's
Bent, Batty and 'Bnoxious! on the Torture One label....fucked up trash....late 50's to mid 60's
The Madness Invasion....on the GMG label outta France and there's at least 3 volumes....noisey trash'n'roll of the early 60's
All the above i've got on vinyl, probably got them in the mid 80's or thereabouts....got tons more, but these are sorta cream of the crop for this kinda noise.
and if you like this kinda stuff, Norton has the 3 Volume Mad Mike Monsters on LP that is well worth picking up...as always, way more liners than you can read while you spin the disc and shake your ass and spill your beer!

I knew I spelled that wrong. Ha!
June 11, 2010 4:25 AM CDT
yes, LOOKEY DOOKEY is definately an album, but it's more like SHAKIN' FIT than WAVY GRAVY. the catalogs/websites are a help, I just wanted to see if anyone could add some titles I might have missed.
June 11, 2010 4:01 AM CDT
Geez, the only thing I can think of is checking out the Norton and Crypt catalogs. Mostly because the Big Itch is the only thing that comes to mind. I think you mentioned Looky Dookie (?) on that Skynnard thread. But to be honest that might not be a record. But for some reason it sounds right.

They named themselves after that Big Lebowski quote. It's even their myspace url. kopper said:

They had an add on tele the other night with those dicks going on about their new song. It was amazing, I really couldn't believe my eyes or ears when the band (bland) members were telling someone who didn't exist that their new song was a rock song... For some reason I was buckled over laughing my arse off... I mean, really, a rock song? what is this rock song thing? I feel so backwards and silly... man...

I always thought of them as a heavy metal Runaways.

Fire & Brimstone's 1967 45, "I Could Hear The Grass Growin'" (not the Move tune) b/w "Underground" was written and performed by two ex-members of Mike & the Ravens, Mike Brassard & Steve Blodgett. The 45 was produced by Terry Phillips, the only guy who ever wrote songs with both Lou Reed and Phil Spector. Both trax later ended up on Jimmy Curtiss' New Hobbits LP from '69 albeit uncredited to Brassard & Blodgett.
Fast forward 43 years... Helsinki, Finland's Them Bird Things do a version of "Underground," which can be heard at www.myspace.com/thembirdthings and seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYtSHQp3unA (or on this site's own video page)... Blodgett makes a studio appearance on Them Bird Things version, playing the electric guitar on the middle section... from the upcoming Them Bird Things album, "Wildlike Wonder," which will be out on Playground Music Scandinavia next month!
