saw Hank III in detroit, got to meet him after! even gave him a Weirdonia t-shirt!
He's the most humble and nice guy i've ever met, gotta make it to one of his shows again 

Dirtbombs NYC Dec 17th

Some diverse acts this month...

The Heiz (kick arse R & R from Japan), Bob Log III, The Damned (on thier Damned 3*and Black Album tour), and Shellac. 

The London Souls with Tab the band

The Mighty Hot Snakes with Two Tears (both f'ing awesome)

I caught Tandoori Knights (King Khan & Bloodshot Bill) a couple of weeks ago in St Louis.

Hi , Mina. Last weekend , I witnessed the 1-2 Double K-O Punch of Jerry Lee Lewis and Question Mark and The Mysterians , BOTH at the top of their game , in one night.

I saw Joe "King" Carrasco a few times when I was on vacation in Puerto Vallarta , Mexico. If you ever go there , definitely stop by Nacho Daddy and see Joe. He is'nt doing backflips , anymore , but , he still does a great show. He had Marianne Faithfull (And even Manfred Mann's)'s Bass player sitting in on one show.....IF I get my ass off this chair , and decide it's not too cold out , I still , tentatively , plan to see Rocket From The Tombs , tonight. That's about it.

LOVE the site for sure, but I do wish there was more soul, exotica and old school blues.

I'm not much on reggae but I really dig the trad ska/bluebeat/rocksteady stuff from the early 60s...slowly realizin' I dig most, if not all, music made from the early 60s (i.e. surf, vocal groups, pop, r'n'r, ska,...the list goes on baby)

I love my reggae...bluebeat/ska/rocksteady/roots/dub/toasting/2-Tone...amazing how one 'small' island created such a musical revolution...

I was just reminded once again of this song earlier today. One of my favorite tunes out of any genre!

Love the older stuff mainly.  Huge old soul fan.  Stormy, Marion Black, Dyke & The Blazers, just to name a few.  I am a drummer in a garage rock band, but have a side Funk Soul Project.  I love the garage vibe, but there is nothing like layin it down with a funk riff.  Puts you in a good mood instantly!

Evil Erik and the Zekes reminded me I meant to post this killah!

One of my favorite biker songs is Zeke's "Chiva Knievel" that includes some killer motorcycle engine revving!

Very well said! I'm still thinking that the scene will revive itself. Just a matter of time :)

Let me add my own little "Yeah" for Erik, who has been a true indie music supporter for DECADES. The style posers will always come and go, but the true believers like Erik keep this music alive, against all odds.

Erik, the major economic issues you face are faced by us all -- no one is buying much product, but plenty sure are copying and "sharing it" (it's called stealing in the real world). This is putting so many indie labels and producers out of business, but won't stop anytime soon.

So I hope you will keep the faith and continue to put out great stuff! We have no other choice, lol. 

-- your friends in the Arizona desert. :) 

Glad you bumped it, Sam!

"Telstar " and "Night of The Vampire". Although it's not an instrumental, I love "Johnny, Remember Me".

Yes Night of the Vampire is indeed one of Thee most twisted instro's ...

Ty Segall, King Khan (all of his bands), CoCoComa, Black Lips, The White Wires, Moonhearts, Personal & the Pizzas, The Spits, Bad Sports, Wax Museums, Cheap Time, Jacuzzi Boys, Fungi Girls, Wau y los Arrrghs!!!, Thee Fine Lines, The Unwed Teenage Mothers

Best one I saw recently was the Terry Malts. great twitchy garage - reminds me a lot of the Embarrassment. Highly recommended.

Definitely going to have to say The Funhouse here in Seattle. It has an evil clown motif! And though I haven't touched a basketball in almost 15 years, they've got a hoop in the back! Always a lot of energy, always great garage/punk shows - stiff and cheap drinks and just an overall fun atmosphere. 

I might add , too , The Hideout  , partly , lost it's sheen (Just for me.), because it's next to impossible to order a drink there , unless you're sitting at the bar , and , even that's no guarantee. I almost got into a fight there once , because some big hardass guy left his barstool , so I moved up to the bar , just long enough to get a drink and go. After all , he said nothing about coming back , but when he did , he opened a tallboy can of testosterone. I merely told him the truth , that he was acting like a dick , and then ,I realized it was'nt a real good idea to stay. I normally don't say stuff like that , but , he worked my last good nerve. Another guy was giving me a lot of crap for no good reason while we were still waiting to get into the show. His buddy actually intervened , telling him  , " Look , if this guy wanted to insult YOU , he's got a lot of material to work with.".    I said , "Nah , it's OK. I used to have a beard , too , and I'll probably go bald , eventually.". Shut HIS ass up , anyway , but , I DON'T GO TO A SHOW OR A CLUB FOR THAT , ESPECIALLY A PLACE WITH A REP AS THE HAPPY GOODTIME FUN COTTON CANDY PALACE of Chicago.

Hey , Joe ! Sorry I missed you at that Fleshtones show...Long , boring story behind that. Being that I live in Chicago , sometimes my take on things , clubwise , does'nt always keep up with popular opinion....OK , frequently. I'm not as into The Hideout as a lot of people are .... It's a really cool LOOKING place , for anybody that has'nt been there. And , yes , I have seen some really good shows there (Not even that many , as Insurgent Country , and some of the other music they showcase , is'nt my scene.). The first few years they were open , I liked 'em better than I do , now , but , again , that's just me.

Similarly with The Bottle , loved 'em the first 5 or 6 years they were open , but , they were booking a lot more bands that I'm personally interested in. People I meet , now , talk about them like they just opened last month. That's actually GOOD , But , being as how they opened about (Exactly?) 20 years ago , it does'nt seem so new to me. I liked it , best , when Lounge Ax was still open and both clubs gave each other healthy competition , and both venues were coughing up the shows. I still like 'em just fine , but I really only go there maybe 3 times a year , only because that's how often there's a show I feel like making the trek out there to see. I do want to say , tho' , I've played there maybe 5 times , mostly Roctober - related reviews where I only did short sets , 10 minutes on average (But , I was very glad to do them.). You know , all of those things went fine , low pressure gigs , where my Editor , Jake Austen , handled most of the arrangements. But , the first BIG show I played on there was with The Gories , last October , and I do have to say , everything about the way everybody there treated me , and handled the situation as a whole , was 100 % top notch , from a performer's point of view. I was blown away by how professional everything was being run , so , of course , I'd love to play there again  , especially if I'm lucky enough to be in a situation like that.
