....I deleted the repeated comment from my own H.Q. Sorry if they're still up here.

Steve , I guess I phrased that poorly. I thought that you might be more geeked up than me , about the lineup , as it stands  , for the next Stomp , but, that was presumptous on my part.

Not to mention Chris Montez , The Gaunga Dyns , Charlie Gracie , Johnny Echols , Cyril Jordan , Eve and The EXILES , Deke Dickerson , an all too short appearance by Ty Wagner , and The Sloths (EVEN IF THE SINGERS' HILARIOUS PROP COMIC SCHTICK WENT OVER SOME PEOPLES'HEADS...) and more Soulsingers whose names I've forgotten than you can shake a stick at (All good , pretty much.). 

I JUST DON'T KNOW. IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN.

Did I say you were "Geeked Up"? 

At first glance it doesn't look nearly as impressive as 2013's lineup. How can you match The Sonics, The Standells and Swamp Dogg? But maybe you're right and a few more shoes will drop.

Hey Everybody,

This is my 1st post, I am a guitarist, been digging the garage punk sounds for a couple of years now & slowly dabbling in recordings.  Hope to joing in where I can & look forward to participating.

Find attached a track i recently recorded, would appreciate any advice/constructive critic whatever.

It was done on my lappy so not the best quality.

Cheers

One thing about (Fuzz) pedals , or any kind you may be looking for - Don't stop at the first one you  find , even if it sounds good. Keep trying out different pedals until you find one that you feel is YOUR sound.

It's also a lot more than the gear you use. It's the ideas you and your bandmates bring to it.

Listen to the original stuff , too , and see how you can apply that to your own sound.
