Hahahah, too good!
Nervous Norvus,  man yes!

I was gonna post a vid of The Fang by Nervous Norvus... and then I stumbled on this!

Forbidden Dimension is one of my all-time favourites and the greatest band ever to have combined fuzz guitar with trashy horror themes.  Necromantix and all that stuff is 2nd rate (at best) cosplay... stick to the Meteors!!!

Okay... while "greatest band ever" my be overstating things a bit, I can't understate the influence of Forbidden Dimension on my life and tatses in trash culture (I met my wife at a FD show). That being said, I have to admit that I have little interest in what they are doing these days. Seek out the early stuff, preferably the material with the drum machine.

'Spook Rock' wise check out the 3D-Invisibles and Forbidden Dimension. It doesn't get any better. Tons of Psychobilly bands sing bout Horror stuff but the best imo are 80s Meteors and Demented Are Go(esp. the first 2 albums 'In Sickness and In Health' & 'Kicked Out Of Hell'). There are some nice 50s Rock'n'Roll 'Horror' compilations out on LP and CD like 'Monster Bop' and 'Rockin' Nightmares'. Great stuff worth tracking down!

The Moon-Rays - self-proclaimed halloween band and spot-on spooky!

I was born in October and it is my favorite month and Halloween, holiday, and love how it can tie into 60s garage.  Very stoked to see the Halloween Podcast recommendations next, but wanted to check back on this string.  Was surprised to see that The Moon-Rays arent on this list. 

you can check out samples here...

Haha, hey, I think in that timeline as well!

Although I still see some movies now and then, my last stop in the present was when Wild Zero, Electric Dragon and Sore Losers came out in the 90's.

Thanks for all the titles you came up with and will come up with no doubt ;) Oh, I have to hear that version of Chicken Hearted + the '68 Comeback also sounds great, everything does indeed.

And how the hell did I not point out the Charlie Feathers blood Bloodshot Bill and the Cramps have in their veins?? Well, I kind of did, but maybe not enough.

John Battles said:

IDON MINE , You have to understand (Well , know , you don't HAVE to , ha ha...) , my idea of "Current" means , in the last 30 years or so....I told someone today , I only see a few current movies a year , mainly cos so few of them look like they're worth it !

 

But , The Cramps were heavily influenced by Charlie Feathers , arguably moreso than Orbison.

They covered "I Can't Hardly Stand It" , "It's Just That Song" , and their version of "Tear It Up" was based of Feathers' arrangement , so that's sort of a Feathers cover....They probably did some others that were never released , or that they only did once or twice , live.

Hmmm...who else , The Stray Cats (No , I don't like 'em no more.) did "One Hand Loose".

Bloodshot Bill did some of Charlie Feathers' songs. I forget , now , because practiaclly all his stuff sounds like Charlie Feathers. I think '68 Comeback did "Uh - Huh Honey" and maybe "Tongue - Tied Jill" , but , I'd have to double check...

The Gibson Bros. did "Chicken Hearted" , Creedence Clearwater Revival did "Ooby Dooby" , The Blasters did "Go! Go! Go!" , Rev. Horton Heat and Los Straitjackets did "Move on Down The Line " (Jerry Lee's version of the same song.)......There are others , I'm justdrawing a blank. I'll think about it , though.

Haha, they got the look down!

The Raw Cuts said:

some awesome Orbison cover from Finland...

Hey! Thanks for that!

Interesting to see that Jacuzzi Boys did a rather late-ish Roy song,compared to the other bands on that comp. I guess it suits their understanding of Rock'n'Roll.

TeenFink said:

...Does self - promotion enter into it ? Bloodshot Bill and I have performed together twice as Bloodshot Battles Overdrive , and we did "Tongue - Tied Jill" once. We've talked , casually , about doing a show together again , now that La Migra is off his ass. Unfortunately , I'll be out of town when he plays his first show in Chicago in 5 years , with NoBunny , Tandoori Knights (Bloodshot Bill and King Khan , Ragabilly , Ragabilly ,  Rockabolly Boogie! ) and Bloodshot Bill , solo. But if YOU'RE in town , it's at The Bottom Lounge (I forget the date.).

Of course , real obvious Orbison covers include "Claudette" by The Everly Bros. , and they each did "Love Hurts". I defy any Garage band to cover "Twinkle Toes", BTW.

Cavan also did 'One Hand Loose'. It's on their 'The Way It Was' album with early demos etc.

So did the 13 Cats...and Flying Saucers...and I bet a million other Teddyboy and Rockabilly bands.

I just watched the DVD featuring The Ed Sullivan Show with the first Rolling Stones appearance in 1964. I love those old variety shows. Ed would have the hip new mod a go-go bands, Borscht Belt comics, circus acts, Broadway productions, readings of "The Charge of the Light Brigade", puppets, magicians .... you name it.

On the same show as the first Stones appearance was this musical act, 3 sexy Koreans, The Kim Sisters. And though I couldn't find the songs they did on Sullivan (one was a gospel tune, the other involved bagpipes), they're all over YouTube

***NEW SHOW***

Get it here vol. 40 Gravest Hits

Yeah , he was very drunk , once , trying to hit on my ex. But , I did'nt know her , yet.

The last two Saints albums were very good....I did'nt go see 'em in '87 , when I had a chance , because the album they were plugging was awful.

Mr Yates said:

Melbourne band The Sick Things fit the bill 

By the way Chris Bailey drunk on cheap port is a very scary sight

No , I did'nt know about that. I'll have to drive by the Stop'n'Shop and pick it up .

Miguel Virkkunen Carvalho said:

Yeah, "Loretta" is a damn good classic as well! There is "Eaterville #1" , as you might know, a compilation of some early material ('73-'75) which also includes their first two 7". A good record to have, i think.

 

John Battles said:

I agree. Of course , "Loretta" is an early Punk Rock classic. I'm told their second album is'nt bad. Their first , with Andy Paley ( Then still remebered as one half of the Pop - Rock pretty boys , The Paley Bros. , though he went on to produce what is probably Jerry Lee Lewis' best all - around album , "Young Blood" in 1996.), is ....OK.    THERE MUST BE ENOUGH UNRELEASED EARLY MATERIAL FOR A CD COMPILATION !!! The reformed Nervous Eaters played here , recently , but , I was'nt going to stand for 8 hours waiting for them to come on. There's some great footage on You Tube .

Miguel Virkkunen Carvalho said:

"Just Head" by Nervous Eaters is in my opinion one of the greastest songs done in the era of the 70s raw punk/rock n roll. In fact both of the songs on this 7" are a good example of it. Even though they released later on some material not as striking as this, i tought it should be mentioned here ;)

Yeah , including Roy Loney and The Longshots and The Legendary Stardust Cowboy ! Or , no , waitaminnit that's the Ripoff Records show , is'nt it?

P.S. -THE CYNICS , NOV. 3 , BOTTOM LOUNGE , CHICAGO. Your only excuse is that you live 100 miles away , or more.

Marty Shane, Pacifiction Records said:

The Rip Offs are playing with a slew of Japanese garage bands this weekend at the Back from the Grave Halloween Ball!

 I saw Los Straitjackets Saturday , with their new , improved Burlesque revue , and the Singing Merch Guy. There's only one original Pontani Sister in the act , now , but , collectively , they could play Vegas , IF Vegas was'nt Disneyland , now. IT WAS BAD ASS. And, good......

Tommorrow , Milt Trenier is doing a very rare Chicago gig (He still plays out like crazy for a Roctagenarian , but , mainly , in the suburbs.) at The Cultural Center 78 E. Washington (Washington and Michigan.) for the "Flying Saucers Rock'n'Roll" Book Release Party.

The book is a compilation of Roctober Magazine articles , inc. my Treniers feature from '97.

Then , I have to haul ass to The Metro to see The Damned . They're playing "Damned Damned Damned " and "The Black Album" in their entirety.

I also saw my friend , Patty Elvis , the Female Elvis Interpreter , with The Revellettes , a local Go Go Dancing troupe , and a B -52's cover group , Planet Claire. I don't even particularly like The B-52's , but they were very entertaining , and the two Female singers were @#!!$%gorgeous.   I did'nt say my priorities were straight , I just said I was.

The Rip Offs are playing with a slew of Japanese garage bands this weekend at the Back from the Grave Halloween Ball!

Is there going to be a full documentary, or is that it? There's lots of footage out there for a full length on the 70's Canpunk scene.
