    • 'Ha! Still alive you fat bastard!' Stewie Griffin after going back in time and stopping Kurt Cobain kill himself using Hagen Daas ice cream. Check it if you don't believe! Genius! Cannae get more punk than that!

    • Here's an obvious, but genuine, one ... Words of my own mind:

      "Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock."

      -Kurt Cobain

    • First show was The Blues Magoos at a local high school (NJ) in 1968. Saw them again in Woodstock, NY in 2009. 

      Punk? Best? Don't remember, can't say. Grinderman in NY last year? Maybe.

    • I also got to see Green Day, i don't really care for Green Day, but holy hell, those guys can put on a fuckin show! I was close enough to the front that I could see their wrinkles...I had to wonder if they were tired...I could't tell.

    • Saw The Casualties last year, it was fucking great. They played harder, faster, and more hardcore than the face painted metal heads they were touring with. Got drenched with their beer, stabbed with someones jacket spikes, and a lot of ribcage bruising from being in the front. It was a good time.

    • I just put in a request to MRR to publish the old Motards interview from '95! Would love to see it in print once more, but I dunno, we'll see.

    • January 27, 2013 5:45 PM CST
    • dave , I started a message , but , it was 'ET.

      Yeah , I have 45s BY ALL OF THOSE SA BANDS WE MENTIONED, have'nt listened to 'em in years , but , I have'nt traded 'em in , either , so , I must have liked them. I've purchased a total of three copies of MRR in my life , and I was mentioned in two of them. Don't get me wrong , I'm fully aware of how little I have to show for my efforts.

      As for The Rip Offs , I KNOW ONE OF THEM IN PASSING , NICE GUY , BUT, THEY WERE NEVER MY THING.

    • January 27, 2013 2:34 PM CST
    • Yeah, even tho' they'd review something like that Squires re-issue, MRR was waaay too hardcore oriented for me to read for years! Kudos to Tim for opening that portal. By the time that interview came out (wanna say late 95/early 96) they were stuffed with garage- and 60's punk fans. "Huzzah!"

      Big Drag, yeah, I'd forgotten about them! Great pop done w/ a dash of punk. Singer had a nice burr in his voice, played a half-stack. If you can find their 45s for cheap (Sleep King and Unclean come to mind), buy 'em. Jeff Smith (Hickoids) put out their CD after an Unclean deal fell through.

      You would prolly like the Drop-Outs, 60s punk done w/ a singer who put out a bit of country into his voice. They have a song or two on that Au Go Go Texas comp. from that time.

      Supercharger is a funny (strange) band, I couldn't get enuff of 'em in the 90s but today they just don't do it for me. Same for the Rip-Offs.

      Well , you touched on something.When I interviewed Sons of Hercules , they told me "We were out of it geeks. Like, we knew Thee Headcoats
      , but , we did'nt know about Supercharger!" They sold me on Supercharger , I bought their record , thank God it was 1/2 PRICE , BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS TERRIBLE. They were playing up their local bands , Inhalants , Cryin'Out Louds , Big Drag , Motards. There was another band , The Drop-Outs. They said Joe "King " Carrasco turned up at their gigs a lot. This was before Jon Horne from The Cryin' Out Louds  WON THE BUDDY BRADLEY LOOKALIKE CONTEST !  NOT AFTER, BUT WHILE , PETER BAGGE WAS DOING  THE 45 SLEEVE FOR JON'S SISTER , CHRIS HORNE'S , BAND , THE FABULOUS BROOD !!!! 

      P.S. I did'nt know  Sons of Hercules were even IN MRR. It was around that time , they started experimenting with Garage , when they could have been supporting it in the 80's , too.

       

      dave said:

      Yeah, it was just about exactly that time. It was that Sons interview in MRR that Tim Stegall did where Danny says they weren't aware of Birdman. And it wasn't me that hepped 'em to it, probably Tim Hayes (Cryin' Out Louds) or Lisa Rickenberg (Inhalants). Tim prolly gave 'em the video, too, he had a LOT of R&R stuff! He showed me a gig in the Funhouse where Birdman's fans were goin' apeshit, it was inspiring! It freaked out John Wilson (Motards), too, he couldn't understand fans getting so worked-up.

      I was just joking about bein' sore at missing them, it woulda been cool, but I wasn't even aware of an American tour (yoiks!).

"Hey, what's that emblem on your jacket?" hahaha... You could tell Tek knew the lineage of the Sons, and got off on their sound. Ironically, the guys hadn't heard Birdman 'til they got a following in Austin.

      DENIZ TEK , WHO LIVES IN DETROIT , NOW (WELL...DOES ANYBODY?) , HAS BEEN PLAYING , OFF AND ON , WITH SCOTT MORGAN'S POWERTRANE.

Either of those Guitarists and singers could front a great band of their own , but, together , Holy Shit ! Less than 15 people showed , including the opening band, Thunderwing.......that's another subcategory "Best shows nobody went to"

      Mine would include - Divine Horsemen ,   Chris D.'s Flesheaters offshoot band , that , admittedly ,had'nt had much press yet. I ONLY KNEW ABOUT THE GIG , AND WHO THEY WERE , BECAUSE I WAS standing right outside the club , somewhat dejected after seeing a very competent but not very Garage (In sound or repertoirre) Larry and The Bluenotes , and I read a mention about the show in The Dallas Observer

      Ragin' Fire - Despite a Southern Rock Bar band - sounding name , this Nashville Roots /Country Punk outfit , fronted by a gutsy female singer , Melora Zaner, took me entirely by surprise. I think the 6 or 10 other attendees agreed.

      Voodoo Dolls - Cramps/Flesheaters /Roky - influenced Punk Rock and Roll. From Florida , their very early sides are on You  Tube , now.

      27 Devils Joking. THE OTHER 14 PEOPLE WERE THERE FOR THE OPENING BAND , BUT STAYED , ANYWAY. This , given the fact that the club stretched the truth just a BIT , and said Singer/ Bassist , Brian S. Curley had been in The 13th Floor Eleveators. It's possible he played in the reformed group for one gig in Houston in 1984  , after Ronnie Leatherman bailed. He did back Roky in The  Resurrectionists (With Nervebreakers Drummer , Carl Giesecke.) and Evil Hook Wildlife E.T. , as well as Lester Bangs with The Delinquents ,who also released a very B- 52's ish LP of their own. 27DJ rocked like Raw Power - era Stooges , with the expected nods to Roky and The Elevators , live.

    • I'm looking for a decent, but...cheap set of drums. Hey, i'm an art student in college, i'm not exactly climbing the money tree. My last kit was a Pulse and I loved it, it had great sound and was super cheap $300-$350...sadly my kit was stolen...so I need to start building up my setup again. I think the Pulse set I had is discontinued now, sadly, so I need to look for something else. Anyone know how Sound Percussion and DDrum sets are?

    • I can't listen to any of that early 80's hardcore political punk rock anymore.

      Back in the day I used to love it. I have a pile of Aussie punk in the record collection, I used to go to the gigs.  Even filled in on the Punk rock radio show from time to time on 3-PBS-FM from time to time.  Fuck, I even got tattooed by Smeer of Depression.

      I don't want to say it but it bores me now. Some of the vinyl has sold for big bucks on eBay (thank you crazy Japanese record collectors). Maybe I will sell it all off, maybe not, I do know I will not be listening to it.

      Haven't been on here for a long time, mostly just lurked around and scoped the 'casts. I've never really been into forums until this past, but only on www.chopcult.com

      I've been working/living at a lodge in Sequoia National Park, CA since March '12.

      Spend most of my free time working on my bike, reading, hiking, camping and such. All while jamming to some of the older podcasts I have. Flying Saucer, Wild Wild Sound, Surfcast, Shout Bamalama!

    • Hi to everyone in garage land!

      The Great Dismal Swamis, from Chesapeake, Virginia, USA, have recently setup and updated our page on the GP Hideout. The Swamis have been playing RNR garage music together for about a year, and are in the process of releasing a full length 12 track album.   The album is complete, available as a digital download via bandcamp, and will be available on ITunes within the next month.  Pressing a super limited amount of CDs to sell at shows, maybe make some available to sell or trade.  Really would love to press this album, or even selected tracks on vinyl, but right now the money and distribution is just not right to do so ourselves. I love pressing records, but it is not the most effective way to recoup the expense of recording and manufacturing a hard copy version of music.

      The Swamis have all been in previous bands and outfits.  Doug Duncan has played with the Candy Snatchers, River City Rapists, Dirty Fingers, Phantom Creeps, and more.  Jeff and Jason both played together in the Hydeouts.  Steve Marsh has played with Big Bobby and the Nightcaps, as well as the lookers.  We've had a blast playing shows and recording since we started playing together.  Hope we can connect with some new faces and bands here on the Hideout.  We would love to try to bring your band, to the swamp to play your rock n roll.  Check out our page!

    • Lookout Records was a big influence for me growing up in the Bay Area. I was too young for the Purple Onion Budget Rock scene, but all-ages pop punk shows were abundant thanks to Lookout's support. I became a huge fan of The Groovie Ghoulies. I remember the excitement as World Contact Day came out and I went to the video shoot for Island of Pogo Pogo. Lookout also exposed me to the Hi Fives, which were the first "retro" band I ever saw. Seeing guys spazzing out with suits and vintage guitars certainly left a big impact.

      What no one has mentioned so far was the change in management in  1997 and how that ruined Lookout. Larry Livermore created a defined identity for Lookout Records. With new releases, you knew that the band would fit within the style. When Livermore retired and Chris Appelgren from the PeeChees took over, it was the beginning of the end. Chris' taste was more artsy and open to emo, post-punk and more experimental groups. Gradually, the pop-punk bands were cut and different kinds of bands moved in. Part of Lookout's effectiveness was its judge of taste, but under Appelgren, you couldn't count on a band fitting into the Ramones-y pop punk idiom. I know that at the time, I quickly lost interest in Lookout and moved on to other things.
