Apologies if I'm teaching Grandma to suck eggs here, but you guys do know about the "new" version of the old Garagepunk forum don't you?
http://garagepunk.proboards100.com/index.cgi It's only got 270 members so far. A lot that are members also joined the Hideout and of course the Hideout has a few thousand members now, so it may be that the Hideout has become the forum of choice after all. A lot of "refugees" from the old Garagepunk forum also joined the G45 forum http://finerecordingstudio.com/g45central/ but that is mostly geared towards collectors of original 45s and may not be as interesting to those who can't afford to buy the originals, have broader tastes or who like to hear about current bands.

Yeah I am a member of the 'new' garagepunk forum, but it never really seemed to catch on, not enough members with a few rare postings now and again, I never really check it much anymore. I am into the G45 forum, but I gave up collecting original records a while back in favour of guitars/amps and current bands records. I was thinking more of a forum for newer bands, clubs, labels etc, just to keep up of when bands are touring, new releases etc, so far myspace seems to be the best for that kinda info. I do miss the old GP forum, simple and loads of up-to-date info. Oh well, sigh! Maybe the hideout will get better in time.

Ya think that this board/site is so quiet cuz no one's talkin' or that there's nothing worth talkin' about?

This site is the second coming of the original GaragePunk.com forums (which was way more active, but a huge headache for webmaster Kopper), btw, which I really pine for nowadays....oh the memories...

I made an emusic list of a bunch of GaragePunk-type albums I've downloaded there. Check it out: http://tinyurl.com/GaragePunkeMusic (you might have to be logged in on eMusic to see it) I was surprised that some of my old downloads, ie Live Standells, Deadmoon's Hardwired in Ljubljana, etc. No longer are available there -- and The Black Lips' Good Bad Not Evil isn't available for download in the USA anymore. Any EMusic members have similiar lists?

Check out Eskorbuto. I´ve got one song by them called Mucho Policia Poca Diversion (Lots of Police, Not A Lot Of Fun) which is great.

you MUST listen to Wau y los Arrrghs and Los Peytes, el mejor garageros que cantan en espanol!

I recommend the Bonnevilles too. I shared a bill with them in December and they were bone-crushingly good. People living in Northern Ireland still know the meaning of blues. Plus they played an absolutely decimating version of Death Letter.

Plus, they're really nice fellahs.

But he did get his last 15 minutes of fame in the Quentin Tarantino film, "Death Proof" and I can't go to my local bar without hearing the sublime "Hold Tight", so he had a last hurrah.
