Great thread! I've been listening to "GB City" by Bass Drum of Death a lot lately. And I agree with Alison, Get Bent is awesome, you definitely have to check it out.

Hi Tim,

I'm seeing Ty Segall in Tufnell Park next Thursday, is that where you are going? 

Cheers, Coop

Came across a band called Boneyards recently who are from Brighton, England, and they sound REALLY good. I think they sound sort of garagey punk, trashy, lofish with a pleasant hint of surf.

Check them out!

I'd be interested to hear what people think.

Think they are pretty new and I only came across them because they are listed as support for Ty Segal who i'm seeing next week.

By the way this is exactly the sort of thread that I love this site for. Mmmmmm new bands!

Although some peoples definition of new is a bit.... well.... old... but I'll stop myself there so I don't become a meany.

Wow so many cool ways to end a song.

We always loved the shimmering fade-to-reverb ending of The Monkees' "Pleasant Valley Sunday" -- so much so, that we used it on our version of "See My Friends", an extended psychedelic workout of the Kinks classic with which THEE DIRTYBEATS traditionally closes its sets. 

This track eventually became the hidden bonus track of THEE DIRTYBEATS' debut ep.

Hey all, I am excited to join this lovely community. I'm Kirby and I am here on behalf of The Whistle Tips. We are a Surf Punk band hailing from Brooklyn, NY with a strong emphasis on 60s garage sound. We are a relatively new band but have been hitting the Brooklyn circuit hard as of late.

Something we've noticed in the recent months is a strong grunge revival in NYC, and no offense to any grunge bands or lovers but we want to bring back the dirty garage shows that were so common the last few years. Maybe its because the novelty of budget rock wore off and all the cool kids want to revisit 90s nihilism, but we wanna rocknroll!

Our big aim is to connect with as many locals and touring bands in the states as possible and flood the scene with unforgiving fuzz and I figured this was a perfect place to connect and keep things moving.

Our big influences range from Man or Astro-Man to The Reatards, not necessary to list all of em but we live it fast, dirty, and surfy. Don't be shy, reach out to us! We are constantly booking shows and looking for acts to headline or open, we also want to keep house shows alive so I am hoping that anyone interested with join us in our conquest of Brooklyn and NYC.

So much talent on here and I can't wait to dig deeper.

All our love,

The Whistle Tips

The Trip! July 22nd Show!

Hey kids, give this week's show a listen! http://cjamlog1.cjam.ca/mp3dirnew/381-The_Trip-20120722-0030-t1342913400.mp3

The setlist:

Gorilla is one of the worst, and they are RELENTLESS!They organize events here at least 2 times a year and still manage to fill their roster with bands. I am especially disappointed in the clubs that support these scams, just to make their own buck. They are what's wrong with our local music scene.

EVEN RINGO STARR STOPPED BRIEFLY , BEFORE EMBARKING ON A QUEST TO BE A MAJOR TOOL TO TO HIS FANS , TO SIGN AN OLD BEATLES BUBBLEGUM CARD FOR BON. THAT'S HOW MUCH THE WORLD LOVES HER.

Thank you sir, you're too kind! Can't wait to rock all over Hinckley again soon!!!x

THE MOBBS! http://garagepunk.ning.com/profile/TheMobbs

Fellow East-Midlanders (England), raucous, retro, rocketfuelled Britishness, like the Kinks on Crack! Great live.

oo!oo!      "RIP OFF" IS KINDA HARSH , BUT , I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT , AS FAR AS GILLAN LEARNING HIS SHRILL SCREAMS , IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FROM ARTHUR BROWN. sCREAMING IN TUNE!!!!  Arthur is out playing , again , with a new version of The Crazy World. When i SAW HIM IN '86 , HE HAD SOME YOUNGER GUYS THAT DID THE EARLY STUFF JUSTICE. (THE OPENING BAND WAS MOST OF MOUSE AND THE TRAPS , BUT , DOING R'N'B STANDARDS. NOT TOO EXCITING.).  IN FACT , THEY DID ALMOST ALL OF THE FIRST ALBUM , PLUS "THE TELL - TALE HEART" , "EYESIGHT TO TEH BLIND", "SPEAKNOTECH" AND OTHERS.  hE DID A STUPENDOUS "GREEN MANALISHI (WITH THE TWO PRONGED CROWN) " ON A PETER GREEN TRIBUTE , SEVERAL YARS AGO. MAKES AN ASS OF PRIEST'S VERSION.

DO YIU MIND ? DO YOU MIIIIIIIIIIND?!".

I can't tell you how much Arthur Brown and that first album mean to me...THE CRAZY WORLD OF ARTHUR BROWN was one of the first 10 albums I ever bought as a kid. There was an article with great color pics of Arthur live in EYE magazine and the cool colorful cover of the LP and that was all my adolescent mind needed to invest my saved lunch money in what has to be the most psychedelic 60's rock record with no guitar on it. Vincent Crane was amazing and the weird strings and horns that pop in occasionally are really cool. Anybody else hear the rumor that Pete Townsend played the bass in a last minute time crunch? And does anybody else think that Deep Purple's Ian Gillian kinda ripped off Arthur's distintive screamin' technique? Which is rarer...the Atlantic issues or the Track issues?

I've been under the impression for the last 33 years or so that the best 45 of all time is "Surrender" b/w "Auf Weidersehen" by CHEAP TRICK. 

I can't think of the BRIDES without thinking of the time they played a matinee show up here in Green Bay and Ross and the boys got busted for drinking in the parking lot...by a BIKE COP. They were just sitting there, sheepishly, while a man in bicycle shorts dutifully wrote them a ticket in broad daylight. That took a little of the edge off their swagger that show, that's fo' sho'. I always thought their best song was their cover of "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" by SOLOMON BURKE.

Pam and the Passions - Summertime

Eastern Dark - Johnny and dee Dee

Siouxsie & The Banshees - Hong Kong Garden

Ramones - Blitzkreig Bop

Plunderers - Didnt see them

Dillinger - Chinese Soul Train

Doom Town - Walking through walls

Modern Pets - Plastic Mind

A10 - Badly Burned

Hellacopters - City Slang

Goodbye Johnnys - Night will fall

I was around the London scene at that time, Hoodoo Gurus were the kings for me !!! Always loved the Cramps, Stems and The Prisoners, Long Ryders also played some great shows in that period. Always felt Milkshakes, Cannibals, Turkey Bones, Guana Batz et al were not very good, no memorable songs but the gigs were always a drunken laugh :)

I think this is the same documentary all in one view:
