Yeah, no shit. In real life? Aside from a garage/punk show (which I rarely ever go to anymore, anyway)? NEVER.
Yeah, no shit. In real life? Aside from a garage/punk show (which I rarely ever go to anymore, anyway)? NEVER.
Every day!
That being said, the number has dwindled drastically with the closing of most record stores.
Not very often, that's for sure!!!
But doing a garagepunk radio show (Radio What Wave) i do come across some really cool people out there that actually have what i call, cool taste in music. In fact just last night, i had a young band called The Bad Bad Bad onair and these kids (early 20's i guess) actually got it, and have really good taste!! Talked to them for way too long which i tend to do when i come across like minded souls....
And like Pat says above, it's usually at records shows/stores or live shows in other towns that us outcasts of society usually meet up by some form of fate.
Jeez, I'd never want to meet any of you dickheads on purpose.
OK, just kidding. I almost never run into people with the same music taste. Basically if I want to go to a show or even the record store, I go alone. When I do run into someone with the same taste at a party or something, I get pathetically giddy. That said, I'm still amused every time my friends make jokes about my not liking bands that have more than 50 fans or bands that someone else has actually heard of. It's a point of pride.
Never...
If i meet someone with same taste it's because somehow i "provocate" the meeting by going where i could find those people ! By going in record stores or r'n'r bars in other towns/countries...
not often enough that's for damn sure.
Outside of shows/gigs of course.
I guess we are kind of a specific group of people but I was pretty impressed today with a kid at the check out at my grocery. He had a sort of Paul Weller haircut and was wearing a Vibrators, Damned and the Jam pin on the shirt.I was like, "you got taste man" and we got in a conversation about music. It's weird that we didn't know each other but anyhow, it's reassuring to meet people who like good music.

Another packed to the gills show, Becky from The Pack AD called in to talk about their big show that eve in London and The Bad Bad Bad joined us in the studio to yammer about their big show at The Black Shire that night.
1. Slugfest....Chicken On A Ball And Chain from The Port CD and a request from last week's show. Slugfest will be playing at the Richmond here in London on Sat Apr 7th...matinee show.
Right about this time Becky Black, guitarist/vocalist from The Pack AD phoned in to talk about their 8PM show opening for Our Lady Peace. Caught their set and they wowed the packed crowd with a high energy rock'n'roll show! I was apprehensive about them opening for such a mainstream act but The Pack AD went over REALLY well!! Kudos to them and they've come along way since we had them at the long gone Brunswick back in 2007!
2. Pack AD...Eight...from the Unpersons LP. Had to skip the intro as they say fuck right at the beginning of the song and that didn't go over well last time i played it.
And about this time The Bad Bad Bad, a 2 piece garagepunk combo from Halifax joined us live in the studio...caught them later at the Black Shire and you've gotta see these guys!! Guitarist/vocalist Jake has patented some high speed dancing moves that look like a cross between Chuck's duck walk and Donald Duck on speed...highly entertaining!!
The Bad Bad Bad at Black Shire Pub, 3/29/12....it was really tough to take pics as guitarist/vocalist Jake was jumping around like crazy!!
3. The Bad Bad Bad...Scumbags and Superstars...from their debut CD.

In the past couple of years, I've seen Gonn (in St Louis) and The Alarm Clocks (last year's Gonerfest). Both were really good live.
The Remains were the undisputed highlight of The Ponderosa Stomp , THE YEAR THEY PLAYED (2009?) . My only criticism is , that they have so many great originals , why bother with covers at all ? But , I know how it is , a lot of bands don't have time to work out their entire back catalogue....They only did maybe 3 covers , but , still....Definitely way the hell up there on my list !
go.gorostiza said:
The Monks, definitely! Not just the best reformed live act I've seen, but one of the best shows I've seen in my entire life.
After that are The Remains.
Oh, and July were pretty pretty decent this last summer. The evoked quite well the atmosphere of THE album, what is not an easy task.
? and The Mysterians never fail ! Last time I saw them was the best one , yet. I have'nt seen The Sonics , but , I have the live 10" and have seen enough evidence on You Tube to know they've still got it.....Could have happened 25 years ago , but , everything happens for a reason.....I DOUBT THAT VERY MANY PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WOULD EVER HAPPEN. I only read , yesterday , that Gerry Roslie had a heart transplant several years go , so , if that's true , be glad he's here , with us , now . The Alarm Clocks KILL , I've only seen them once , but , was blown away at how great they were.
Rockin Rod Strychnine said:
I have to say that the Sonics have pretty much been a blast at least live. ? and the Mysterians were really good too in my opinion. For lesser known bands, album wise, the Alarm Clocks sound real good. I saw a youtube with the Knight Riders of "I" fame that was real decent. But I haven't really been privy to a lot else going on so I really can't give an opinion. But I've liked what I have heard or seen of these groups.
Yes , sadly , Dave Day , who was a sweetheart of a guy , a loveable big kid and the greatest Banjo player in Rock 'n'Roll , passed away a few years ago , as did Drummer , Roger Johnstone (sic) , before him...So , there is no more monks , but , we're lucky we got to see them , because , I agree , they were great. Nitpickers don't see it so , and , I'd say fuck 'em , but , they're entitled to their take on it....... Gary Burger still owns his home studio in Bemidji , Minnesota , but , Eddie Shaw seems to be more busy with his writing , and Larry went AWOL again. I saw Gary do a solo gig , backed by The Goblins , a few years back . It was great . Who can say?
luscevious drummer said:
i would recommend the sonics, the monks (if they are still around, i think the banjo player passed away)the standells, ? & the mysterians i 've seen them live and they are great!
This is a great idea!!

The Hideout is way too international to pick one spot, it would have to be a tour. That sounds even more difficult. Maybe an online concert in real time that could go from location to location around the world with different bands playing at home. Charge memebers a few bucks so they can view it live!
Hey Kopper! Kewl AS -- Thank you! And of course, you will be the first to know :-) Mel
I don't mind. If you need a word, then GO. Do it. You already have the site to use to network and get the word out, so good luck and keep us posted!
melissa scott said:
We've got plenty o' bands right here on the Hideout to get at least an entire day/night of bands to play here in the Southern Hemisphere. The Hideout Goes Down Under. :-) A satellite event to be sure. And a good network of radio stations to spread the word...
Just saying... give us the word and we'll get crackin'...

I learned how to sing while playing guitar using the Ramones. A song like "Rock-a-way Beach" has all the chord changes during breaks in the singing. So it allows you to do one thing at a time.
Here's the honest truth: Singing and playing guitar is like riding a bike. It takes a while to get the balance, but once you figure it out, it's easy to keep going forward.

Ryan Hatt said:Alright, for super current I have to throw Ty Segall into the mix. Either his self-titled or his collaboration with Mikal Cronin Reverse Shark Attack. Maybe not "best of all-time" but I think we've pretty much moved away from that exclusive here and those albums play constantly for me. Also, seconds or thirds or whatever on The Cramps.

Many glam acts cribbed riffs from earlier garage bands. Think how "Jean Genie" and The Sweet's "Blockbuster" were plagiarised from the Shadows of Knight's "Oh Yeah".
