Hey I saw Plan 9 too!!! Aside from the film, I haven't heard that name for a long time. I really liked them!!! Also, feel free to join the Kings conversation but yeah, does anyone know what happened to Plan 9???

Found out about them and Plan 9 around the same time in the early 80s.

Preferred Plan 9.  Do give them credit for tenacity, though.

What happened to Plan 9?

The C KINGS were one of the Top bands on my ROBBY RUSELL GARAGE-MANIA RADIO SHOW/

We saw them live a few times , including opening for the NY DOLLS and also saw them with the lead singer of the Standels singing Sometimes good guys dont wear white. They did a great live version of the EYES-I'M ROLLED OUT and they were kind enough to do a promo for my show.They were cool!!!

I, too, have had my eye on that amp. It looks super cool for being a Fender (and under $300).

I am gonna keep my eye out for one in a few years when they start popping up used on Craigslist. 

Thanks for the post!

How do i get a copy???

I also agree! "On Fyre" makes you wild! When I left my last apartment, I had a party to celebrate this with friends and it's while dancing on this LP that one of them passed through a window! We had to go to the hospital at 4AM, completely drunk! "Don't give it up now", "Help you Ann", etc are great tunes! I don't know if the guys are still touring in Europe or not...

The Lyres - "On Fyre" 1984 or The Monks "Black Monk Time" 1966. I also would throw in The Black Lips "Let It Bloom" 2005.

Ryan from Rochester, NY. I play the drums, collect 45s, design at robertscomm.com, drink lots of IPAs and rip up the streets daily. Garage punk will always get me in ways no other genre can. I started a blog a few months back called FUZZ DRENCH, check it out if you have the time.

I'm a graphic designer from Columbus, OH. I love music. Always have. Don't remember how I got onto garage, but I prefer the 60s stuff as opposed to the 'punk' stuff. Although I do love punk like the SLF, Buzzcocks, Jam etc. Love mod, soul and just about anything good. Favorite newer group would probably be The Mainliners out of Sweden.

Amoeba - adolescents
Full frontal assault

this song is perfect for any morning.

"Born to lose" - Johnny Thunders

I often awaken singing this...

If it's raining - Rainy Monday by The Rifles

Lust For Life and it is Monday morning here...

That has been my experience as well but in my case the passing of years allowed me to to rediscover things that I'd been exposed to in my youth.  Beethoven, Brahms, Handle, Bach. Even Gilbert and Sullivan who, while never angry, pegged society with a thoroughly 'today' seeing eye and great humor at the expense of society at large.

This later point I realized as early as the late sixties and early seventies.  Having moved from pop to blues by way of acid rock I thought, as I looked at my acid-headed, flower-bedecked, friends, "aren't we something new!"  Then I chanced upon these lyrics...

If you're anxious for to shine in the high aesthetic line as a man of culture rare,

You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant them ev'rywhere.

You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your complicated state of mind,

The meaning doesn't matter if it's only idle chatter of a transcendental kind.

Those words were written by Arthur Sullivan in 1881 for use in the delightfully cynical operetta "Patience."

To old to rock indeed!

I think when you get older your world just expands. Mine doesn't EXCLUDE garage, I've just been able to appreciate more different things, and finding the same SPIRIT in other places. Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" is coming from the same place as "Anarchy in the U.K." and the chilling sneering works of Shostakovich have that same no wave feel as The Honeymoon Killers. 

Couldn't agree more.

That's a good answer.

 I , personally , would'nt call Dead Moon "Grunge". They were around before the movement picked up any momentum , and , of course , Fred Cole has been performing and recording since the 60's. As Cole himself  described it , "We're not a Retro 60's band. We just like it raw , ragged and honest.".  I don't think Fred was down on the Grunge thing , but , none of those bands were mentioned in "Dirty Noise " his homage to the sound of The Great Northwest. But , that had nothing to do with the pitifully short segment they (And Girl Trouble.) garnered in "Hype !".  My friends and I were calling The Sonics , Link Wray , anything dirty - sounding like that from the past , "Grunge Rock" before it came to take on an entirely different meaning.  It's absurd that "Garage Fans" would'nt have accepted Dead Moon at Estrus Shock. Where did they think that   stuff came from? I think they got a better reception than Andrew describes , at The Cavestomp in 1999.

dead moon were a grunge band from portland.  you can find their 7" in jukeboxes there.

 

 

EARLY TO MID 80'S WERE A GOOD TIME , ON MANY LEVELS . THERE WAS  A NEW BAND , EVERY WEEK. BUT MOST PEOPLE ONLY CHOOSE TO REMEMBER THE STUFF THAT WAS'NT EVEN GOOD , IN THE FIRST PLACE.   YOU CAN WATCH "URGH" , AND MAYBE NOT AGREE TO LIKING EVERY BAND , BUT , THE IDEA THAT THIS WAS ALL HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME , AND THEY MADE A FILM ABOUT IT. IT WAS VERY EXCITING , STILL IS.

LIKE YOUR PIC OF THE DETROIT/NYC "SUPERGROUP" RAMONICS RENDEZSTOOGE BAND.

I use an Ibanez Sound Tank 60s Fuzz (FZ5).  They were inexpensive when they came out.  I picked up a new one for $25 back then.  Like everything old or discontinued (except me) the have become "collector's items" on eBay.  I really like the sound of the pedal, despite the plastic housing.  You can get a real convincing mid-sixties "back from the grave" style fuzz sound.

Crank it through a fender tube amp with tremolo, you'll get a way cool pre-summer of love (i.e. pre-hippy) psychedelic sound.

......I get ya.  THIS MAY BE THE ONLY BAD VERSION OF "APACHE" I'VE HEARD......

I was talking metaphorically, of course. I bet Jet Harris would be turning, so you can run the National Grid off him.

   Hank Marvin's still alive . I never heard anything to the contrary.    I checked some Wikipedia pages  , and they all had him listed as still living , and 70 years of age (Further disspelling the idiot theory that you can be too old to rock.) . Jet Harris , The Shadows' original Bassist and solo artist in his own right , died recently , but , Hank and The Shadows are still doing sporadic reunion shows , with and without Cliff Richard.    I'm sure this video would put his off his food , though.....Jorgen Ingman , too , were he still living.

I bet Hank Marvin's spinning in his grave, as it is so excruciatingly bad. Ironically, the punks loved Apache because of its simplicity. Being a Shadows fan, I think this could be the worst version of Apache I've come across.

Jan Terri ..I had a true WTF moment!!! She's got it all! Fantastic!!....

Here's a totally crap video...a hideous version of Apache, with images that explain why punk happened. However as 7ts vids go, it really is nudging the cliche, its so bad its good...
