We love this place!
and I know that since we are new, that we havent even begun to really use it for all that we can...

I love finding like-minded folks, great bands from all over the globe and then trying to find them in the other places we lurk (myspace, Freeform radio stations, Podcasts)...you know networking!

especially if, for instance, the small town you live in isnt too keen on your music-
there's a whole other world in the hideout!

Just sayin'.

I'll do it!

I also find cool that they are bringing the Cobras around. Hopefully they can drag them over here too. It seems like a very natural team up.

just so there's no confusion, the Dex Romweber Duo is opening up for the Detroit Cobras. and yes, does seem like a very inspired pairing. be fun to see them in ATL!

Yep, I got that! And yeah there's a good load of noise coming from this duo. Hhaha! Mr. Jim: If you'd live where I live, you would be happy about every band coming around, Heheheh! I'm the more so 'cause I dig 'em both - a lot. If I read you right, you don't, so I can see your "nay nay" on that.

wash yer mouth out! Sara's the best thing musically that's ever happened to him! biz-wise, too. besides, Sam was never ever at the helm of anything except his one way path to self-destruction.

Didn't mean no disrespect to Sara a'tall ...I dig about half of the new record and just overjoyed that Dex is still out there makin' it happen w/ her help... But Sam was good to me, esp. in regards to gettin' to see Dex and I bummed that there's no Cola-town show, tis all. now, the Cobras on the other hand ...a bunch o' screws, that bunch...but that's another tale.....

I know, Europe sux, but can they come over anyway?!?

there's talk about doing just that. not sure when tho.

That sounds fantastic! Thanks for telling. It was great to hear about the band on the show a couple a times, they have some real fancy things going.

Whenever/ifever the Europe thing happens, I'll be glad to write in as the hype monkey. There are a few clubs here in Vienna that would be fitting in my humble impression. Here's some of them.

very cool. I'll get to their manager... so you've been hearing Dex on my show? thumbs up to that! but if I was not clear, that's a duo you're hearing. a lotta clatter for just two peeps, eh?

Sure, Sure! The two where not seperated in my mind. It's awesome what they got going. And the more chatter the better. I also find cool that they are bringing the Cobras around. Hopefully they can drag them over here too. It seems like a very natural team up.

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! No show in Cola-town, not even SC at all!!!

Guess I should post this, since I bet many of you don't even realize it exists! http://groups.google.com/group/garagepunk Yep, an old-fashioned Bomp-list/Banana-Truffle-style email list/newsgroup. Join it if you care to. Cheers, kopper

I probably posted in this discussion before! Anyway...

1. First 3 Ramones albums.
2. Young Loud & Snotty - Dead Boys
3. Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables - Dead Kennedys
4. Minor Threat - Minor Threat

I saw the Ramones and Dead Boys many times at CBGBs and around NYC in mid and late 70s, amazing shows! I saw Minor Threat once, that was also excellent. Never saw the DKs.

I agree with The Clash and Ramones. All their albums of this era are great - I even cannot select which one of them is better.

But if to add the band no one mentioned here before (or I did not notice), I would pick Cock Sparrer's "Shock Troops". Although it is a little bit out of 76-80 range, I believe it can be deemed to belong to the same era. I love it as strong as The Clash's albums.

Big thanx to Kopper, the Cats Eye, & Johnny Alpha fer the suggestions! I gots plenty now to throw on the next mix...gonna blow some gamblin' minds!

Bob Seger – Ramblin’ Gamblin’ man Tommy Ridgley - I want some money baby Link Wray - Deuces Wild Townes van Zandt - Waiting around to die, just for the line “I guess I keep a-gamblin' lots of booze and lots of rambling” Nina Simone – House of the rising sun Lonnie Donegan - Gamblin' Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QojNTkhJLN0 Daily Flash – Jack o Diamonds A good few here as well - http://waxidermy.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=18965&highlight=wall+poker

Just found these- Alex Harvey band- Gamblin bar room blues.(1975)
The Meteors- In The Cards.(in heaven LP)
Jimi Hendrix- The stars that play with laughing sams dice.(b side to midnight lamp)
There must be loads>>>>>>>>>>>

Link Wray: Ace of Spades
Motörhead: Ace of Spades
Bantam Rooster - Deal Me In
ELO - Poker
Ned Miller, George Jones, Elvis, or Ricky Van Shelton - From a Jack to a King

GGDs are IN with tyme :)

i started playing guitar first then got tired of looking for an organ player. so i bought one and learned some chords. it`s actually pretty easy. there is no "right way" just keep practicing. Lightning Boy said:

Thanks definately a great song, I'll try to get a feeling for that riff on the organ. Are there any organ players here in the group who started without any teacher/mentor?

I'm with the idea of over driven amps... (though I've used big muffs for recording). Depending on how loud you are going to be, what kind of sound reinforcement there will be changes which amp is the most rockin' Best bang for the buck is a Supro Taurus, though Bassman 100's break up quick if you use the right cabinet, and if you have the money and need to get silly the original Ampeg SVT shit thumps and gets fuzzy.

Thanks gang fer keepin' it comin' ...unfortunately I'm sold on my current amp set-up: a late 1960s(maybe very early 1970s) Sunn tube amp head runnin' a cheap-o Peavey full stack...most venues I can only "crank" it to 3 or 4 on the volume before ear drums split!! so I can't easily overdrive it all natural-like ....hence the need fer a pedal (much to my dismay as I loath bassists with pedal rigs) AAhhhhhh! Wish I could just test out a bunch o' the above suggested pedals...& the search continues...

I think most fuzz pedals (at least the new ones) sounds too much stoner/grunge/metal and lacks bottom. What kind of amps did the bassplayers use in the 60´s? I guess they didn´t have pedals, just overdriven (is that a word?) amps. Also, from what I´ve heard the new Big Muff isn´t as good as the old ones. Here´s a guy showing off the new Big Muff with a terrible riff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeCAJQcgeTA&annotation_id=annotation_256565&feature=iv
