Jaguar And Thunderbird - Chuck Berry

Go Go Yamaha - The Spats

The Renegades - Cadillac - Studio Live Video 1964

Lydon is selling British butter by the pound over here thanks to some fabulous advertisement campaign. He also Went on a turgid programme, 'I'm a celebrity, Get me out of here' thats very popular apparently. Loads of celebrity(?) making complete tits of themselves in real life telly, in the vain hope that someone still loves'em and resurrect their careers. Lydon was brilliant. It paid for the last PIL album and all the amazing solo stuff he keeps releasing. Surely a great advert for a real icon selling out for the greater good. Vive le Pistols

Two in the mix for ya. Britains very own 'Ten Benson' and 'Kid Congo and the Pink Monkey Birds' Fabulous schlock'n'roll. 'Unnatural Helpers' might be worth a shout as well. 'Black Angels' '18th Dye' and 'Future of the Left' are just sublime. 'Pissed Jeans' rock! Hope this helps

I don't really compare them musically, but they're all Cramps influenced one way or another, the vibes are there. Sting-Rays sounds good, a little more psychobilly but i liked them; Art Phag is very good! Gonna definitely look for more of their stuff. Whats the name f you bands, send me some stuff; if its deja voodoo influenced i'll probably like it dont worry about the rest.

Axel said:

I wouldn't compare the Purple Things to Deja Voodoo or Bone Orchard but I agree that their first two records on Media Burn are fantastic. If you haven't heard them yet listen to the Vibes, the band the singer had before the 'Things'. Early Sting-Rays might appeal to you, too, like their 1st EP and LP 'Dinosaurs' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiL4CIzDFyc. Another 2-piece band similar to Deja Voodoo(but nowhere as great) was 'Art Phag', on Wanghead Records http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dakg0QpkKQw&feature=related 

I played in a band heavily influenced by Deja Voodoo in the mid 80s but we were sooo bad, I can't recommend listening to us, lol.

Deja Voodoo is great, it got to listen to a few tracks from House Of Knives in a Myspace page,  sounds very good! I like the Gun Club too and I listened to Blowstops and sounds good too. Thank you both. I found this other band that sounds similar to the bands mentiones before, 'The Purple Things' you guys should check them out in youtube. 

Yes I reciently listened to the Chrome Cranks and Jesus Lizard i dig em both, good bands; gonna look for the others now

Robert Bell said:

I'm a big fan of Birthday Party, and although these might not be in the exact same vein, heres a few I'm diggin' on:  The U-Men, Cows (Cunning Stunts is me fave), Chrome Cranks, Jesus Lizard, Hammerhead, God Bullies, Rudimentary Peni...

Listened to God Bullies, good band; and you're right no one sounds like the Cramps but there are a lot of good bands influenced by them who have their own unique sound, like Deja Voodoo for example like you said. I checked out The Dyes & 3-D invisible are good too!

John Battles said:

. If you like the bands you mentioned....maybe I'm dead wrong , but , I saw God Bullies once , and they sounded a lot like The Birthday Party to me. I started listening to The Jazz Butcher again , recently. They were all over the place . Loosely associated with the whole Garage/Trash /Psychobilly thing , as was some of the Goth and Gloom MUSIC HAPPENING AT THE TIME. Lindsay Hutton told me "The Cure , The Cramps and Siouxsie have NOTHING in common except that maybe they all use a lot of hairspray !".....You might want to check out the Blood on The Cats (LP and Video) and Revenge of The Killer Pussies" (LP) comps if you have'nt already. Bone Orchard and Inca Babies appear on 'em , as well as The Stingrays , Vibes , Milkshakes , Screaming Lord Sutch , Sharks ,  Even Shockabilly. NO ONE sounds like The Cramps , but , they influenced so many other bands. Deja Voodoo , admittedly ,  sound like a Cramps bootleg. That's GOOD. In more recent years , The Dyes wear their influence like a badge. 3-D Invisibles are'nt really Crampesque , but , they're some of the best modern Horror/Novelty Punk Rock.

No room in there for  Ray and Dave Davies? Surely, 'Everybody's Gonna Be Happy' is pure garage gold. 'Waterloo Sunset' would bring a tear to any glass eye. Perhaps another topic in there? 'Bands sadly overlooked, even by the Punkers'. We should always 'question reality' because we can seldom get to question those who shape it!

 

As my bumper sticker reads Question Reality ?  This big round ball we live on that floats in the middle of nowhere can sometimes seem like hell.

Oh , boy . Such a loaded question...i DON'T KNOW IF i STILL BELIEVE IN hEAVEN IN THE TRADITIONAL SENSE, THOUGH i HAVE CAUGHT MYSELF USING IT AS A CATCH - ALL PHRASE.

FOR STARTERS , I can readily see Eddie , Gene ,  Marc , Elvis , Carl , Bo ,  Johnnys Burnette , Cash , Ramone and Thunders , Joey , Dee Dee ,  Brian Jones , Sir Doug , Roy "o" , Link , LUX OF COURSE , Screamin' Jay Hawkins ,  Rob Tyner , Michael Davis , Fred "Sonic" Smith , Jerry NOLAN , RONNIE BOND , Hasil , Dave Day , Roger Johnston , Sean Bonniwell , Razzle , Steve Marriott , Ronnie "Plonk" Lane* , Ron Asheton , Dave Alexander ,  Arthur Lee , Syd Barrett , Dickie Peterson , Janis Martin , Barbara Pittman , Paula Pierce , Richie Teeter , Bryan Gregory , Lord Sutch , DJ JOHN PEEL , HOSS ALLEN , THE REAL DON STEELE , MAD MIKE ,THE MAD DADDY , AND , of course , YOUR OLD PAL , ALAN FREED.

btw, I found out why they called him "Plonk" . Would you like to know?

Haha. We're all goin straight to heck mate! All the members of the Choir will get the nod for this classic

Here is THE DRUIDS OF STONEHENGE doing a cover of It's all over now, baby blue in 1966.

They also did other covers including a smokin' version of Bo Diddley's "Who do you love".

The 'Scream' abide maaaan! Still pullin crowds and great tunes.

http://youtu.be/IBwCwcoXY2s

Can there be such a thing? I say 'yes'. There was a huge debate over here during the summer fueled by BBC 6Music's, 50 greatest punk tunes, debate. Alot of furore over The Prodigy gettin in there. Gasp! in the top 10 no less. I think The Prodigy are more punk than some other bands out there masquerading as punk who are no more punks than my doctors left foot. DAF and Suicide (dance???), but you get what i mean. We cant afford to be precious, but if it rocks..... It's punk!!!

I rest my case

Have this on us Brits, USA. Amazing

Hey , Andy .    Well , shedding a light on the trash is what I should be doing (Being as how we have racoons in the alley , sometimes.). Of course , Our Lord Which Art in Heaven , David Sutch , is dearly missed. Do you know that , in The US , his obituaries (Including one in Time magazine.) largely dealt with his political career , which , I know , most people called a mock political career , but, he shook things up for some 40 years , and several of his proposed bills have since become laws , with someone else taking the credit.

He was an innovator , in the rock arena (As opposed to Arena Rock.) , too , wearing his hair IMPOSSIBLY long , several years before The Beatles and The Stones arrived (And even they looked like Oi Boys , by comparison.). Of course , he jump started the whole Horror Rock thing , before Arthur Brown and Alice Cooper upped the ante for Theatre in Rock , but , I originally mistook him for a crass Screamin' Jay Hawkins imitator , and would'nt give him a chance. Once I "Got it" with him , I realized , well  OF COURSE , Screamin' Jay was the far better singer of the two , but , there's room in my heart and on my record rack for both....

I would'nt call Wesley Willis a "Garage Rocker" , I think he fits safely in the mold of "Outsider Artist". His songs were frequently hilarious ,but , they all sounded the same.

I found him to be extremely annoying , personally. I could'nt abide by his head - butting women at random , one of my friends from an out of town band was traumatized by this , before I had a chance to warn her about him. He could be comparatively "Mellow" , but , you never knew with him. He was banned from nearly every club in town at one point. But ,of course , I never wished anything bad on him.  That has nothing to do with his music , or his hysterically funny musings. I just was'nt riding on the Joy Bus , sorry.

But , to me Roky is the true King of Horror Rock , BUT , they're both Kings , Roky being the American Horror Rock King , and Sutch , The King of England. He may have never actually served in Parliament , but , The Monster Raving Looney Party was rated Fifth largest party in Great Britain.   People like this brought colour (Intentional spelling) to a culture that was drab and seemingly humorless (Though you've certainly produced some of the finest Comedians OF THE LAST 50 - something years.). Carry on Screaming ! John.

Apart from this slice of lunacy, i know absolutely nothing about the band. John Battles sheds some light on them in a post above. I love the schlock quirkiness that comes out in some bands in the great and good garage punk scene. Kim Fowley must have a cupboard full of unreleased madness. Others that springs to mind are 'Roky' and 'Screaming Lord Sutch'. Who can forget 'Jack the Ripper'? Wot a tune. Later on he became a pseudo politician in Britain, fronting the 'Monster Raving Loony Party'. Mavericks like this are sorely missed or overlooked these days... Why? i've no idea. 'Vive la Difference' Does Wesley Willis count as Garage? I think he should, haha

 

 

Kopper , The Coctails were a Chicago - based band that started up around 1990 , maybe '89 , I'm not sure, but , I'll say '90 , because that was when I first saw them. They became VERY popular in Chicago , and were , I guess you'd call 'em , the house band at Lounge Ax , one of the last great places in town, where nearly all the great shows happened.  Their reign only seemed to last few years , and ,when that single came out (I don't know who T. Lance is.) , I was'nt aware they were still together. I think it was just a one -off. But , various members went on to much bigger things , at least , locally , like The Sea and Cake , and , more recently , Drummer , Mark Greenburg (Who also lived in Dallas when I did.) has joined Eleventh Dream Day , who were HUGE , back when . Archer Prewitt , too , is now an established Cartoonist with 'Sof'Boy". A "Reunion' was staged on "Chic - A - Go Go" , with NO original members , even tho' Mark was stitting in the audience.

But , I'd place that single somewhere between '95 and '98 , maybe?

The Coctails definitely recorded some 45s, AND MAYBE A CD OR TWO , ON THEIR OWN , but , I never really followed them.  I think T. Lance was a friend of the band , that got them to do the recording after their apparent breakup.

I used to spin "Aba-Daba Do Dance" on my old radio show all the time, but I never knew when it was recorded. It totally sounds like a '60s recording, but I'm pretty sure it was newer... right? Were they a '90s band?

Aside from that single, I know nothing about T. Lance & the Coctails. Did they record anything else?

the 60's recording stands on the cd land of 1000 dunces of candy records (1994)
