Yeah , If I can grow  a long enough lock in my hair , I can cover that third eye up.

But , I'm 100% certain that's Sky Saxon's picture. That's how he looked in the 70's.

Jim Baker (Father Yod) did'nt look even remotely like his "Son" , Arlick (Sky Saxon.), except that he had the Moses hair and beard going on ,too. I used the term "Blatantly ripped off from " , lovingly , BTW.
 , TOO.

Hi John, we're not sure if it's Sky Saxon or Father Yod? Either way it's all linked to Ya Ho Wa 13.

Nice to see that someone had their spotter's eye on!

If you like a bit of Sonics/Cramps/Oh Sees/Billy Childish/Country Teasers/Fall influenced shit you'll enjoy the Wobbly Lamps.

Good to meet ya tyler, Theres a awsome band from Scotland called Deneuralyzer. Pretty hardcore Garage punky sound with a vox continental organ. check em out! http://soundcloud.com/deneuralyzer-falkirk-uk

There's a couple of stories about why Bryan left The Cramps....He , himself , claimed he was getting more into stuff like The Clash and PIL and further away from their musical roots.
The top story , with Lux's verification , as to why Bryan left was , was that he simply took off with a band vehicle , loaded with their equpment , and never came back. After he died , though , Lux and Ivy cited his Heroin habit as the main thing making their relationship with Bryan crumble.    Gregory did turn up , unannounced , at a Cramps gig in the 90's to make peace with Lux and Ivy . They forgave him. So much time had elapsed.....But , I speak from experience , these first wave Cleveland Punks hold on to a grudge like they'll turn to stone if they let go.

Of course , the most popular story is that Gregory joined a Devil Cult......Well......His Girlfriend , Ardella , was an Occult practitioner(They later  formed the awful Goth - Rock  BAND , Beast , together. ), AND , REPORTEDLY, the two joined a coven , practicing White magic , but , not Satanism as such.

Whoo, ya done good!! The Cramps were one of the best shows I've ever seen, w/ Candy and Nick. They embody all that's great about rock and roll!

'Ja ever hear why Brian left the band? Bad trip? Anxiety?

Kinky's always good for a laugh, wish he'd won the election in Tejas. Be a better gun'nor, that's for sure.

Keep up the good karma,

The first show I remember is seeing Freddy Fender at a rodeo in El Paso, Texas.

The first punk show was in DC to see The Cramps, Tex Rubinowitz and the Teen Idles (Ian Mackaye pre- Minor Threat / Fugazi. The Cramps had to cancel because Brian Gregory wigged out and left the band. So I saw the other two bands.

The best shows were Cramps and Link Wray shows.

Although always great, some of the Cramps shows that stand out more.

The night my good friend (Stephen Blickenstaff) and I went backstage and Stephen presented Lux and Ivy with his artwork that became the famous "Bad Music For Bad People" cover art. After that we got in to their shows on the guest lists.

Another time we traveled to Pittsburg and were on the guest list (Thanks Stephen!) Reverend Horton Heat was opening for them. Backstage after the show Lux, Jim Heath and I stood around talking about serieal killers.

RHH's drummer asked if I wanted to go party and play music with them after the show. I declined as I had to drive back early the next day.

Good thing too, because It turned out - unknown to us - that The Cramps were staying in the same motel as we were. Lux came to our room to hang out.

He was wearing black pajamas with glow in the dark skeletons. He went into our bathroom and turned out the light so we could see them glow. He picked up my glow in the dark toothbrush and pretended to brush his teeth.

Ivy was tired and did not join us but she sent Stephen a gift. She had rinsed out the fringed outfit she had worn on stage that evening and layed it out on a motel towel to dry. Some of the black dye had stained the towel with a perfect image of her outfit in a shroud of turin sort of way. Lux gave the towel to Stephen and said that Ivy wanted him to have it.

The next morning as we were leaving town we stopped at a record store. After a few minutes the Cramps walked in too. So I got to spend thirty minutes or so talking about guitars and comic books with Ivy.

And a differnt show we headed to a local bar after they played and I got to sit, chat and drink with Harry Drumdini.

Link Wray was always great. Once at the Wax Museum in D.C. I was up at the front of the stage and this lady tapped me on my shoulder and asked if I would help her onto the stage which was about six feet off of the floor. She said that she was Link's wife. So I gave a boost and she was. Link was happy and gave me a smile and a nod.

3. Ralph Nielson and The Chancellors....Scream...from the latest and final Lux and Ivy's faves, volume 17. This has also been re-ished on Crypt Records back in the mid 80's.

And it's also for the record show that's happening in London Ontario this sunday at Centennial Hall.

Show #409: "Bands & Artists Starting With P, Part 8"

Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows I call the "Alphabetical Series" where I randomly draw a letter of the alphabet from a hat. Whatever letter I draw, I take all the bands and artists in my collection (from the 50's, 60's & 70's only) that start with that letter and play them in strict alphabetical order one by one until I run out of time. This week I drew the letter "P". This is the eighth time I've drawn the letter "P", so I will start from where I left off on show #7 (which was with The Purple Fox). This is the final installment of the Letter P! So, tune in tonight (Friday at 10:00pm EST) to hear 3 hours of bands and artists that start with "P" like: 2 bands called The Purple Gang, 2 bands called The Purple Haze, The Purple Hearts, Purple Image, Purple Passage, The Purple Underground, Purple Wine, The Purpose, 2 bands called Pussy, The Pussycats, The Pussyfoot, Putney Bridge, 2 bands called Puzzle, Pynk Peach Mob, 4 different Pyramids, Pyrolator, Pythagoras Theorem, Python Lee Jackson, and many others!!!

Thanks for the link, been looking around for tapes (10 mins a side)
For ages, seems cheap too,even shipping to aussieland

I still much prefer the Roy Loney - era material , though I like the "Slow Death" album on Norton , all pre - "Shake Some Action" (The album , I mean. It's got a very early demo of the song.). It has most of the post - "Teenage Head" stuff that I like. Post Teenage Head. Sounds liek a cereal Kim Fowley would endorse .

Off the site...
Between 1972 and 1978, San Francisco’s Flamin’ Groovies – featuring core members Cyril Jordan (guitar/vocals), Chris Wilson (vocals/guitar) and George Alexander (bass/vocals) – produced some of the decade’s most vital recordings, including the 1976 classic Shake Some Action. Dig It Up! will be the first time since 1981 that the Jordan/Wilson/Alexander line-up of the Flamin’ Groovies have appeared anywhere in the world.

By Flamin' Groovies , do they mean Roy and Cyril ? Because they WILL crush , kill , destroy ! , but they have'nt been calling themselves The Flamin' Groovies. maybe the promoters insisted they do.    One guy I know had the same idea , to do an all day festival in his garage and alley. He asked me to be the M.C. , telling me they might be getting Patti Smith and David Bowie. 

Sydney now has the Dig it up festival, last year The Sonics ,5678's and tonnes more played, this year we got the flamin' groovies, the stems, blue oyster cult, buzzcocks to name a few.
I'm thinking of starting an anti-fest deal, just getting a few bands together, couple of kegs rolling the garage door open and blasting it out of there, have everyone spilling out my front and into my dead end street

A few bells and whistles here and there, but mainly in the controls/pickups, in lead circuit you can isolate either pickup or throw them In together and adjust the individual volumes. The neck rocks a dimarzio humbucker dp103 and bridge has a dimarzio dp100 super distortion, isolating that with an old beat up big muff I got and I've almost found heaven

I'm intrigued (I've been a Jaguar and Jazzmaster enthusiast for years).

What are the special feature of the KC model.

I'm sure it does. Rock!

Just got the Jag Kurt Cobain today, not sure bout the custom dings etc , bit too gimmicky maybe, but i think it sounds brilliant

"IT'S ALL ABOUT PEACE AND LOVE , MAN. AIN'T NOTHIN' WRONG WITH THAT! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SMOKE , DRINK , POP , SNORT OR BLOW OUT OF YOUR ASSHOLE , IT'S STILL ALL ABOUT PEACE AND LOVE !".    Dickie Peterson , Blue Cheer.

Thanx for checking us out, Matt.  I have submitted our album for review with Get Bent.  I appreciate the advice.  Cheers, Jason

Get Bent is my main source for current garage punk/psych/lofi stuff. They are pretty friendly too.

I like what I've heard so far.

I never picked up on the protagonist in "St. James Infirmary" singing about The Clap , tho' it was'nt uncommon , then. I saw Charlie Louvin , twice , the first time , I almost had to beg him to do "Knoxville Girl" , and NO ONE had my back. Lame - o's . HE DID IT , THO' (HE ALMOST did "On Top of Old Smokey " , instead.). The second time ,he explained that "Knoxville Girl" was based on a centuries - old Murder Ballad from England.

I didn't mind Seaweed

I don't feel that Likes are important on any social network.

Facebook is the nearest thing we have to Satan (thassa joke :P), it's a way for Zuckerberg to get rich off peoples' personal data.

Use any other account, Wordpress gets a lot of hits, GaragePunk should be yr go-to for posting yer band's info. There are lots of other sites out there that aren't EEEEE-VIL.

And no, it's not killing music, but FB isn't doing it any favors, either.
