      I'd like to compile a list of artists who have songs w/ references to biker culture (bandanas, tattoos, cheap motels, gangs, Jim Beam - the whole 9 yards), lyrics and attitude. Not only late 60's/early 70's stuff but extra points will be given to anyone who can point out any current artists doing this sorta thing, too. i only know Simon Stokes' first couple albums which are really amazing. Oh yeah, and of course Davie Allan & The Arrows. Who else?

      Did any of us mention The Leather Boy (Not the 80's group.). Badass Biker/Garage Punk'n'ROLL , BEST KNOWN FOR "On The Go" (On Wavy Gravy , Strange Things , others.), and the worthy contenders Soulin'and I'm a Leather Boy. I just found an LP , NOT KNOWING THERE WAS EVEN AN LP's worth of material , under his real name , Milan (Forgot his last name , he was Eastern European , tho'). He recorded several singles as The Leather Boy , Milan and others , as well as writing and producing some great sides for othe racts (The only well known one on this comp is Lou Christie.). He even started out with a Xmas Twist record. But , his Biker and Garage Rock sides , which comprise most of the album (Entitled "Hell Bent  For Leather" - Between THAT AND THE Hip Hop- looking artwork   , it's a wonder I even picked it up to figure out what it was.....I was always a fan of The Leather Boy STUFF , BUT , i DID'NT KNOW  MILAN  WAS SO PROLIFIC , Like a more Garage Punk Kim Fowley.....

      Simon Stokes' last few albums are great too. His last one Simon Stokes & The Heathen Angels is fantastic though my favorite still is Honky, which came out about 10 years ago.

      This band, the Angry Breed, are here on the Hideout, and they're into the biker image as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DefUUrerCc0

      Yeah, we're going for a biker image although we're not into "real" biker culture. Our thing are the movies and soundtracks of the biker exploitation film genre, mainly during the years 1966-68, although everything we do are our own originals. We're currently working on two songs for a split 45 EP with Italian fuzz masters The Hangee V (due to be released early next year) that will come loaded with... yes, you guessed it - FUZZ!

      Check out this video of the song "Sickle Girl" from the upcoming EP to get an idea of what I was talking about. The record should be out this summer.

      Hi John ...got an old 1 sided radio spot - 1min / 30sec / 10sec ...maybe it was the same film under another name 'Hells Angels on Wheels' ? - apparently Jack Nicholsons 1st film -

      Also by the bad , bad Crestones , "The Chopper" . Probably one of the first Rock'n'Roll songs to refer directly to choppers."So if you're cruisin' around , lookin' for a go , come around the South Side of Chicago. I'll show you what I mean when my chopper starts to scream !".

      Here's a shot from yesterday's Violent SHifters show at  Bike/Scooter shop in St. Paul, MN!  Even though there weren't many bikes on the road with the snow and cold, we were hotter than hell inside with bikes and scoots all around!

      One of my favorite biker songs is Zeke's "Chiva Knievel" that includes some killer motorcycle engine revving!
