I can't believe anyone would have thought Thee Stash was actually the then - defunct CLASH in diguise. Of course , in the states , we did'nt understand the significance of "We're Selling Jeans For The U.S.A." - the ad w/"Should I Should I Stay or Should I Go"did'nt run , here. The Blitzkrieg (Bop) of Punk (and related) songs in commercials and at the grocery stores had'nt happened , yet. I did hear the Buzzcocks in a commercial before The Ramones , tho'.....This is one of the only Childish records I held on to.

there are really all sorts (I have a wide range of 45's but my filing is a bit trashed at the moment to have a good trawl and give you somke other names )  ...anyway ...heres one of my all time faves ... Thee Stash -

the great thing about this particular 45 is that if you DJ it - most "I wanna hear a hit" fuelled herberts still think that it is the Clash   [ ha ha ]  ...well it's all they ever get if any of 'em ever ask me to play the Clash anyhow ... ; )   get boppin'

the UK site Damaged Goods is a top-fab repository for all things 'Childish' - they sometimes re-release olde stuff - nice bunch of peeps ... and helpful too

this is also a related 45 from the Headcoatees - enjoy  [ the headcoatees is a female ensemble consisting of a range fine young ladies associated with the headcoates ]

here below is ' armitage shanks '  [ for those not in the know - armitage shanks is a very well known make of top-quality gentlemens vitrified china urinals as often found in public lavatories ... as i understand it - armitage shanks consists primarily of  Headcoates / mighty caesars etc... roadies - although obviously don't quote me on that as my info here may be incorrect  ]

 

have fun searching around

poccahontas was her name thee headcoats is my favourite song .... a tearful story 

Artwoods and John's  Children , I agree with. I never thought of The Sect or Them as Mod , so much as hard R'n'B , but ,then ,  The Sect were all over the place. Funny thing , tho' , I heard some mod organizations hired The Sect and The Troggs for their events. Then comlained that they did'nt sound enough like their records....If they sounded any more like their records , now, they'd have to announce Winston Churchill's death between sets.

The prisoners are a great example of the mod sound. Another band that had some bite,also from the 80's was les elite.

...more on the power pop tip but a personal fave of the mod revival groups of the 80's was the teen beats! They had a great 7" out called I can't control myself.

The Prisoners were a mod band with bite! and so were the Daggerman... the energy of these bands was how mod should sound. 

The Eyes

The Sorrows

Johns Children

Downliners Sect

The Wheels

Them

The Artwoods.......................

You're right , but they had an edge , not that precious "Pretend to be Motown at it's most polite."sound .   I was lucky , I got to see them three times .

A couple more... the High Numbers:

The Higher State:

I always considered The Insomniacs a mod-leaning garage band, too. Highly recommended (along w/ the Embrooks above):

THE EMBROOKS

i consider the newer wave of kick ass retro soul bands like black joe lewis to be the keepers of the torch...

Rod "The Mod" Stewart

Hipster Imag

The Times (early)

Television Personalities (?)

Graham Day's the Solarflares, the Gaolers

James Taylor Quartet

as opinions are like assholes, "everyone has one". this one would like to add; in the end it really depends on who, and how long, you would like to support a given artist or musician...i.e. Clash/Ramones/Iggy/Cramps. every one has to make a living. i would prefer one to have success during their lifetime not after they are dead. i think Mr. Childish hit upon this with the line: "and Joe Stummer's turning over in his grave"!!!

Wow, what a tired old argument/discussion... no disrespect to the OP, but this is really a breeding ground for silly arguments. My opinion? Punk is a style of music, the style doesn't change when notoriety and/or money enter the equation. You either play it or you don't.

the great roscoe gordon

great list

THE KILLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IN2011:)

Don't forget Craig Moore & GONN! Here they are rockin' St. Louis a couple years ago:

Yes, Question Mark! When I saw him in New York last year, all the Mysterians, allegedly,were the originals and they were full of crazy energy. Here's a video of them playing "96 Tears" with an old dame named Ronnie Spector:

There are lots of bands still playing out with members in their 50s and up. The Fuzztones, D.O.A., The Cynics, The Fleshtones, The Chesterfield Kings... I'd bet all those guys are in their 50s. Nikki Corvette is still rockin', too. Take a look at the lineup for the recent Norton Records fest... The Real Kids (they ain't kids anymore!), the Great Gaylord, Andre Williams, The Sonics, ? and the Mysterians, Randy Fuller (Bobby's brother), Flamin Groovies, etc.

in phoenix,there is a punk band called one foot in the grave.they are all senior citizens....and they kick ass!

The Ventures Christmas album is pretty cool.

Here are a few more I thought of...

Jackie and The Cedrics: Silent Night Rumble

The Bomboras: Little Drummer Boy

The Untamed Youth: Santa’s Midnight Run

The Bitch Boys: Jingle Bells

That's what I like!
