Show #348: "Bands & Artists Starting With G, Part 7"

Every 3 weeks I do a show where I randomly draw a letter from the alphabet. Then I play all bands & artists in my collection from the 50s, 60s and 70s that start with that letter in alphabetical order. This week I drew the letter "G". This is the seventh time I've drawn the letter "G", so I will start from where I left off (which was with Group Therapy [US]). This will be the final show of the Letter G, A FOUR HOUR SPECIAL! So, tune in tonight (Friday at 10:00pm EST) to hear the 4 hour finale of bands and artists that start with "G" like: The Groupies, The Growing Concern, Peter Grudzien, Grupa 220, Gryphon, Gualberto, Gudibrallan, The Guess Who, Guilbeau & Parsons, The Guilloteens, The Guitar Ramblers, Bonnie Guitar, Gulliver, Gun, Gunhill Road, Sandy Gurley, Guru Guru, 2 different Gurus, Margo Guryan, Arlo Guthrie, Nora Guthrie, Gygafo, Gypsy, Gyspy Trips, and many many more!!!

Egg

Shindig Magazine for sure!

A review in there led to a huge surge in orders for us.

Will definitely pay out for an ad with them next issue.

Yes, my ad here at the Hideout will start running soon -- but I wanted opinions on the other best places online to advertise garage-psych releases?

It is so hard to reach the actual people who still actually BUY new garage-psych releases, lol -- so I'm llooking for any online locations that are worthwhile.

 

Thanks for your thoughts!

Coincidence, I was going to mention them too. Saw Playn Jayn live and they were excellent, still listen to both LPs which are well worth picking up. They turn up fairly frequently on eBay and are never expensive.

Thanks for the info, I don't think I've ever heard of them before!

Another British band worth checking out are the Playn Jayn. Found this bit about them on a site called Power Pop Criminals, and there's a Myspace page on 'em, too:

Formed in 1983 from the ashes of the Zoodoo (then The Idd and The Zoo) around the nucleus of the Jones brothers, the Playn Jayn were part of the UK 80's psychedelic revival. Obviously rooted in crafted '60's english pop, but drawn towards the more cracked elements of american psychedelia, the Playn Jayn released a live LP on A&M and then were dropped by their record company before they were signed by ABC. They released their sole studio LP in 1985. Mike Jones (the singer) ended up an acid casualty and became incresingly fragile. Nick (guitarist) took the Chris Dreja route and became a commercial photographer.

what do you think of the vox starstreamer? how much can i get one for in british pounds

Mudhoney were ok but what  Leonardo said about The Kreuzen is totaly my point of view.I saw The Kreuzen end of the 80ies in a VERY small club in St.Pauli(Hamburg)-JESUS it was incredible....there were about 25 to 50 people(sold out!!!!!!!!!!) and these guye played a kind of music I never heard till this day-and I hear lots of differend stuff!!!!

I think SKIN YARD is a superb band,just here "PSYCHORIFLEPOWERHYPNOTIZED"-pure mania,even the cover of the single.GREAT!!!

But it`s very hard to define what "Grunge" is-I don`t think in those categories,because everyone has another definition of music.Some say "Soundgarden" or "A.I.C" is grunge-for me it`s just ROCK from Seattle.

Amazing !

here's a suggestion...

We'd definitely be down for that in August if you need a lot of heads up time!
Maybe do a two night thing where we just pop in at whatwave on thursday, play grooves, then the next day we hit up brennan's.

Very cool ideas, thanks dave!

If you're willing to make the drive to London, you can always do an instore at Grooves Records...doesn't pay, but it's fun AND you get staff discount on anything you buy at Grooves while you're there. Plus if you have any merch to sell, Grooves doesn't take a percentage off the top.

 

And Brennan's Beer Bistro is right next door, so you can work out an all ages gig there for the same day...you get the door at this place. Plus you have to do all of your own promo and have a door person.

 

And if you're down on a thursday eve, we can probably work something out to get you live on Radio What Wave...need lots of advance warning to work this out.

Actually I agree somewhat about the Rick Rubin stuff. There were some jewels there, but, especially in the later volumes, there was lots of snooze. (One of the worst things he ever recorded was "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with Fiona Apple. Barf!)

 

And I liked his original recording of the old murder ballad "Deliah" back in the 60s a lot more than the unplugged 90s version with the Kate Moss video.

 

Roger was God.

Really dig these guys myself, ESPECIALLY Roger Miller! And who can argue on your Cash claim? I especially love his '50's rockabilly and '60's tunes. Early '70's were fine, but after that, I didn't have too much of an interest in his musical career. And I may ruffle feathers here, but I just wasn't a fan of his "American" series of recordings produced by Rick Rubin. I'm not saying they're bad, it's just a matter of personal taste. So many people seem to they were the greatest albums of his career, and maybe they are, and I'm just missing something?

If it interests anyone, I am going to be deleting the "Hayride" Facebook page and posting anything related to that show on my "40 Oz. Nonsense" page. It would just be easier to keep anything podcast related all under one roof, rather than give me one more thing to have to worry about maintaining and keeping updated. I already do that with the Twitter account anyway, so it only makes sense.

Here's the link for the "40 Oz. Nonsense" page: www.facebook.com/40oznonsense

true! i will forward your suggestion to a friend who actually need them. 

Make up your own lyrics. More fun that way.

couldn't find...

Does somebody know where I can get the lyrics 

for 'Blood Blank Blues' song?

Thanks!

If I remember right, Red Sovine co-sang that...Speaking of which, Red could really do some honky tonk singin' pre-"Teddy Bear" era (In other words, before most of his albums became just storytelling set to music).
