Sound guys (or gals) are funny, they make me laugh every time. With every new pa guy comes new laughs. It could be that they just look funny or it could be the way they carry a mini light around there neck or a pen behind there ear like they about to design some massive fleet liner or something but mainly it's the things they say...my favourite so far is a sound guy who wanted to start soundcheking the owner of the "Fender amp" to which we replied, "Which one? All THREE of 'em are Fenders!!!"

Off to Rose Tattoo tonight at the Revesby Workers, one of my all time favourites bands, this is one band I still love since getting into them in the mid 80's. Hear is a good boot of them. Rose Tattoo live at the Bondi Lifesaver 1980 recorded by Double J. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=79ALBH76

Hope the proper person/persons are getting royalties for this cause it seems to be getting aired quite a bit...

Has anyone else checked out this Commercial? Holy Crap! They're playing Can't Seem to Make You Mine by The Seeds. I'm beside myself over here... Not sure whether I should laugh or cry. Thoughts?

"Noisy Boys! The Saxony Sessions" at http://www.zohomusic.com/artists.php?a=52 Listen to a few samples from the album at www.myspace.com/miketheravens2007

Yamahas are pretty durable (especially their Professional Maple Series), along with DWs. Both sound good too. Neither are cheap though. If you get a good kit like these one, then get some good road cases to go with that kit. It is worth every penny you spend on them.

I have seen some pretty good "Pawn Shop Specials" lately (due to the crappy US dollar and ecconomy!) So you might wanna check out that avenue as well. You might find some deal that could make your day.

One other option is some custom made Garcia Drums. They are made by a friend of mine Jerry Garcia (don't snicker about his name though, he has gotten a lot of that over the years!). Although I am not sure if he is still making them right now. He used to run the Seattle Drum Shop here in Seattle, but closed that up a few years back. They are some of the best and most durable drums I have seen/heard in many years. They are not cheap either, but you will get what you want both sonicly and visually.

Me, I'll stick with the classic Ludwigs from the mid 1960s (when they knew how to build 'em!).
I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Skinsuit - New Rose. Here's me drumming on a damned cover.

They can't do it, PJ. I asked this past weekend.

Indeed! This is a REAL BOSS HOSS & THE EYE event!!

This show is going to be AMAZING!!

My first thought would be to burn the Nuggets Box Sets,1+2.Good selection of garage and an even better one of mod/beat/R n b.
If it was one tune for me it would be "Baby" by The Tasmanians.Four chords,fuzz guitar,weedy organ and the essential "my woman crapped on me" lyrics.

that would be the kind that cranks out of your car windas, not your iPeed... Mutant Hardcore Flower Hour Radio Thursdays, 10pm - to 1am With your hosts Burton, Scott, and Rosa 91.7FM or ktru.org

that would be the kind that cranks out of your car windas, not your iPeed...

hey

I'm thinking of making a guitar from these guys my "nice guitar"

right now I play on an EPI which is fine but those look bad ass

I'd go for either a white phantom with a black pickguard or a triburst hollowbody with a mirror pickguard which do you guys prefer?

any one have any experience with these guitars?

George

ps. this is probably a long way off I'll do it maybe when i'm living stateside as part of my university course or I'll do it when I get a job (I know, I know not Rock n' roll)

Hey,

Thanks to great comps like Transworld Punk Rave Up or the Peace, Love & Poetry series, we now know there were great 60s garage bands all over the world but what about 50s R'n'R?

I know of 4 great songs composed by French writer, poet and jazz musician Boris Vian and performed by Henri Salvador around 1956-57 (he meant them as a joke but they were brilliant wild rock'n'roll songs).

I know there were lots of great bands in Mexico: los Locos del Ritmo, los Boppers, los Apson...

I know of the incredible Tielman Brothers (Indonesian band who had a career in the Netherlands) but they sang in English.

Any others?

I just found this album of theres that has some radio commericals they did on dating courtesy , well Mary was discussing that. pretty funny,

oh sorry if i caused any confusion i meant trash in the most positive sense of the word

ahh a teisco i believe

no i don't

it's got that kinda crazy, glitchy, trash-retro-futurist thing goig on

i hope you like it

how's it sound?

A GaragePunk iron-on-patch t-shirt would be the cat's pajamas!!

Life is a Lousy Drag....cuz I gots me some of these stickers & I ain't got nothin' to stick 'em to!!!
Might make an iron-on from one...but damn that sounds like work...so fuck it I just stick the thing on a t-shirt & go!

....I though this was gonna be a thread screamin' at folks to decorate their HIdeout pages...hahaha

Have you gotten one (or more) of the GaragePunk stickers?! I have a few, and let me tell you they are bad ass! In fact they're so bad ass that I haven't stuck 'em to anything yet because I'm completely neurotic and want them to stay pristine forever! However, you should really shill out that fat cash ($1.00 ppd?! - cheap kids!) and stick 'em all over your car or bike or skateboard, or whatever you have!! *This ain't no advertisement. Just a challenge to you to let the world know about the obviously superior art-form formally known as Garage Punk!* Luv, Michael Kaiser, esq.

Actually, I need some help. Does anyone know a site that has a track list for these compilations? Because I'm seeing some conflicting information floating around and it's getting impossible to keep track of.
