Listening to the New Hives album, Lex Hives, right now. So far so good

Maby more Punk than Garage. Great bands though.

The Scrags. Garage from my hometown Gävle

You sure kicked up a lively discussion around here, John;)

I like "Strength To Endure" , BUT MAYBE IF IT HAD MORE OF A VOCAL PRODUCTION LIke"let the punishment fit the crime"....i DUNNO , JUST A THOUGHT.

Personally, I like "Strength To Endure" off of Mondo Bizarro. In fact, had we not done a cover of The Ramones' cover of "Let's Dance", my old band probably would have covered Strength To Endure.

Anyway, I'm not sure if I can agree that The Ramones never had a bad album, but all of their albums past End of The Century have at least one or two songs that I truly love.

I don't think I ever heard Bad Chopper. CJ was here several months ago , I think with Ramones "Archivist" Daniel Rey. But , I did'nt feel like going out. I'm liek that in my middle age.
Tyler said:

Yeah,  Tommy seems awesome for sure. Not a huge fan of Uncle Monk though either. Funny enough, of all the Ramones related solo projects, CJ's Bad Chopper LP is far and away the best....blew me away.  I liked Dee Dee's I.C.L.C album too.
John Battles said:

. Tommy sems like a great person , but , I did'nt go see his band , Uncle Monk. I like Bluegrass , but , in my opinion , that's not even good Bluegrass. More like Deadhead Bluegrass. The stuff I heard , there were'nt even any breakdowns.

Oh yeah, I read that. Other than some sibling rivalry, which probably hurt Joey as much as it did Mickey, I think you'd have a hard time pointing to anything that indicates that Joey was anything but a sweetheart. Sure, he was dysfunctional in some ways, OCD, physical problems, but he certainly wasn't mean.
 
John Battles said:

YOU'RE RIGHT , i WON'T DEFEND TED NUGENT , BUT , TO SEE THAT THERE'S TWO SIDES TO EVERY  STORY , ONE IS ADVISED TO READ MICKEY LEIGH (NEE MITCH HYMAN , JOEY'S BROTHER.)'S BOOK , "I SLEPT WITH JOEY RAMONE". JOEY COULD BE A BULLY , TOO.

 

 DIG ME HARD , mIKE , I WAS'NT TRYING TO PUT AN ALL - ENCOMPASSING LABEL ON TENPOLE TUDOR. THAT WOULD'NT BE FAYRE...I MEAN , FAIR. BUT IF THEY / HE DID ANYTHING THAT COULD BE LABELLED "PSYCHOBILLY" , I MISSED IT. YOU'RE RIGHT , THO' ADAM ANT TRIED TO DO SOMETHING SIMILAR, DRAWING FROM HISTORICALLY INACCURATE SOURCES (NICE ONE !) ....BUT, BRITAIN COULD BE BEST SERVED IF WE ALSO REMEMBER FREAKBEAT , EARLY PSYCH , THE TROGGS , PRETTY THINGS , DOWNLINERS SECT , SCREAMING LORD SUTCH , AND PROTO PUNK , LIKE THE DEVIANTS , THIRD WORLD WAR , STACKWADDY  , JESSE HECTOR IN GENERAL , AND THE PINK FAIRIES, TO NAME A FEW....
Mike Humsgreen said:

I think Tenpole Tudor was just fun, putting it in a box like Celtic or olde English makes it sound like he was taking it too seriously! But I would say any hall of fame would need to be different based on geographical locations. So for instance New York would have a garage rock hall of fame completely different to Detroit.

The UK would have a hall of fame that would see more British invasion type stuff along with the glam punk, and I would put Tenpole Tudor in with them. Maybe he wasn't quite like the Addicts but then Adam and the Ants was doing a similar thing about historically inaccurate highwaymen.

John Battles said:

I was going to mention Hasil. His APPROACH was Garage Punk , even if his music was wild Rockabilly. It's also true of Cordell Jackson , the Mother of D.I.Y. . Do people consider Tenpole Tudor "Psychobilly"? Seems he was around before The Meteors , Guana Batz , Demented Are Go , etc. , were happening. He was into this Celtic/Olde English thing that's very interesting. Bloodshot Bill , again , rare , non - pussy Rockabilly , but, arguably Garage Punk in approach.

Bodies by Sex Pistols?

Pauline was maby trouble in a different way than you ment though.

"Get Off The Road", the theme from the Herschell Gordon Lewis film "She Devils On Wheels", is a trash classic about "maneaters on motorbikes". It's been covered by both The Cramps (after the "Girl on a Motorcycle" trailer in the vid below) and The Lunachicks.

Cool. Thanks. I have a couple blues songs on the playlist already. One of them is "Rich Man's Woman on a Poor Man's Pay" by Kid Ramos.

A cool song by a band I met here in The Hideout is "She's Kind of Evil" by Thee Fine Lines.

Going back to the blues there's Muddy Waters' "Iodine in My Coffee."

I think the use of the word "like" in the context of Facebook is in most cases as ludicrous as Myspace's use of "friends".

When my band used Myspace, we'd get endless requests from idiots with 5 gazillion "friends", who had no interest in us or our type of music and just wanted to boost their number of "friends".  The only "relationship" we'd ever have with our new found "friend" would be clicking the accept button (or in our case the "up yours, clown!" reject button) in answer to their request. Once that was done, they'd be off to find another new "friend", never to darken our page with their shallow and desperately needy personality again.

We did meet some great bands and people, but they were very much in the minority amongst a tidal wave of losers who seem to view the whole social media thing as a game of top trumps, which if they win somehow proves someone out there actually likes them.

If you don't pay for this new "Page Post Promotion" each post will only be seen by 10-20% of your likers. So in effect, Facebook has just killed off 80-90% of our Facebook promotional reach.

This new program is about as fucked up as it gets - not only does it apply to business pages, but fan pages as well, which are usually a labor of love for the admin (not a money maker).

I guess this means it's back to email marketing lists for many, which is lame... Between the nickel & dime nitpicking at ebay, the up-coming pay-to-be-listed on Google Shopping, and now this pay-to-post garbage on facebook, it's getting increasingly difficult to be an independent business on the internet. The big boys who can pay to play are taking over (or have taken already) the largest selling, searching & marketing venues available.

To me, it means these venues are hurting - consolidating their revenue sources increasingly inward. It shows investors they can still make money, but glosses-over the faltering organic growth that provides long-term stability.

So I don't rant too far off topic, I'll say this: all of these jackasses are hurting DIY musicians - any venue that excessively charges you to promote, market, sell, share or give away is hurtful to the very narrow margins that allow these people to pay their bills and continue to produce. It further sets up those with means to be gate-keepers of what is or isn't publicly shared.

"Now it's 1984
Knock-knockin at your front door...."

Big Brother is not the government, it's business.

We may be biased, but Klobbermeister is our favorite masked band.

Mask Man is great but no one was ever like Blowfly

King Diamond was cool but I haven't listed to them since I cut my mullet.

Mohammed Rafi put out the classic video Jaan Pehechan Ho

The Vampires were a German instrumental surf group with a girl drummer that all dressed up like Robin the boy wonder. They were great but lost in time, if anyone has more info please share.

My recommendation would be the Christian garage rockers the Knights of the New Crusade

As a genre I love, it's hard for me to say who my faves are, although I do lean strongly towards the Bomboras, Phantom Surfers, the Trashwomen, the Boardwalkers, Royal Knightmares, the Fathoms, and many other of the big names that's already mentioned here. Two bands that aren't surf, but has done killer surf instros that I dig, are Southern Culture On the Skids and the Boss Martians.

Two lesser-known bands I'd like to plug here are:

The D-Rays out of Athens, OH. They're a nice 3-piece that I came across on Facebook who I've played on "40 Oz. Nonsense". I think they've got a couple of releases under their belt now, and you can hear a cool cover of the Ramones' "Cretin Hop" on their ep "Landlocked In Athens".

Find 'em on Facebook here: http://www.facebook.com/theDRays

They're also right here on the Hideout: http://garagepunk.ning.com/profile/TheDRays

Keep up with 'em on their blog, too: http://draysathens.wordpress.com/

The other band is the Surf Zombies from Cedar Rapids who I came across a couple of years ago. They've released three albums, and their style ranges from not only basic surf, but to the spooky surf and rockabilly-sounding instros. Their latest album "Lust For Rust" has them pushing more towards a "hot rod" sound, but still impressive, IMHO. Their only "website" is their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/surfzombiesband

Thanks. I asked because he was interested in Zim-Gar models. I have one branded Howard, it's like the one on the cover of the 1st Hound Dog Taylor album, but with 2 pickups.

Hi

errr.....If I have a suggestion......

If we all tag our bands with a similar tag (Say "Garagepunk"), and then we log on to LastFM now and again, go into the "Tags" menu, select "Garagepunk", and "Play Garagepunk tag radio".....we will get played a selection of music from the bands that use that tag, if we all do this, we also gain a lot of new listeners (which means LastFM promote you more)..........AND it should create "Similar Artists" links that ARE actually similar to our bands...(we had this problem as well, and I think it happens were you have a low number of (LastFM) listeners....the LastFM software automatically assumes you are similar to the other stuff your listeners listen to....if you have a low number of listeners, even one listener  playing you by mistake can throw the whole thing out)....

Worth a try?
