I don't care i play "Surf" !

Rudy Thacker & the Stringbusters - Black Train (on Lux & Ivy's Vol. 8).  One of my favorite rockabilly/country tunes ever.

Speaking of Untamed Youth... also in that Radioblivion episode:

Untamed youth - MACE HAS GOT A HOT ROD DART

A couple from the Demonics:

The Demonics - DUNE BUGGY GANG

The Demonics - 750-4

The Demonics - JESUS CHRYSLER SUPER STOCK

Cadillacs:

Figures of Light - BLACK CADILLAC

Has a plane car in it!

You can't catch me - CHUCK BERRY

I would recomend the three Tsunami Rock and Roll compilations for contemporary Japanese garage rock.

In addition to Emy Jackson and Japanese girl group sounds, I can really recommend a great and readily available comp on Ace Records called Nippon Girls:

But , before even that , there was the Elecki movement ,fronted by Guitarist , Singer , Composer and Arranger , Yuzo Kayawa.

Yeah, Yuzo Kayama (and Takeshi Terauchi!) and the whole mid 60's Japanese Eleki boom were great!

Here's Kayama with his famous "Black Sand Beach" from a 1966 live performance:

And here's the song again in the 1965 Eleki No Wakadaisho movie (notice Takeshi Terauchi guest appearing second from left, Kayama to the right of him):

Emy Jackson!

Killer fucking thread, and maybe you can help me. There's a great Japanese girl-garage-band called The Girls. I can't find them anywhere except to stumble on them occassionally, cross-referenced in Japanese, which is understandable I just don't read Japanese and am never sure if I'm looking at the right band. I would like to buy the vinyl straight from the label, if I could find them. Shonen Knife, Pinky Piglets, Buffalo Daughter and Pizzacato Five are all bands I enjoy.

The Switch Trout

Oh yeah that's cool. They were very good as I recall. The night we played with them at the UFO is a bit hazy.

Here's a vid I particularly like by a recent favorite... THE PAPPYS!

 

Sorry Mike. No west coast plans for Theee Bat as of yet.

 

Mike said:

Marty,

  Are Theee Bat going to make it to the west coast at all?

Thanks for the link!

Sounds like Lux received a sweet service...

kopper said:

I could never find any information on his burial (or even if he was buried or cremated or whatever), but a report of Lux's memorial ceremony, agreed to by Ivy, was posted for fans by long-time friend Jonny Whiteside on the blog of LA Weekly and later in the print edition. Click the link below to read it (it's great):

Yeah, you should probably just read the article instead of asking questions about it. That's why I posted the link, dude.

 i BELIEVE , DON'T QUOTE ME , BUT , I BELIEVE HE WAS CREMATED. In fact , I'm 98% certain. I heard , early on , that he was not buried. I could ask somebody who knows , but , that might take a while. I know Ivy wanted a very small , unbiased funeral service . I forget the name of the church she went with (Maybe it's in that article?) , but it was one that believed in Astral Projection , so Lux's passing was celebrated with an Astral Projection. He's already waved "Bye bye" to the sun, by then. I know Johnny Legend (THEE Johnny Legend , not that other pencil neck geek !!) , and , I believe , Art Fein , long time cool stuff talk show host in LA and first Cramps' manager , were there.

At any rate , Fein , and , later , Kid Congo , told me they'd seen Ivy in the past year , and that  she's doing really well and looks great.         John.

Good video there!

Someone tell me again those guys don't know how to kick ass anymore, eh?

Just came across this video on YouTube and remembered the discussion topic here...

 

AWESOME

Some day I'll make it down to Texas...

I haven't heard much of his solo records, but yeah. I'd also go with you that The Reatards were better than his solo career. They just worked together so well and created such great music. It's sad it had to end that way, but yeah...

And yeah, just like you all said, The Reatards can't be compared with Led Zeppelin. Whole different band, whole different time, whole different style.

Never really had much sucess finding good 60's stuff.  Mainly 50's.

At a garage sale I found Johnny Cash "I Walk The Line" 4 song EP on Sun with the picture sleeve mixed in with a bunch of mostly 50's pop records.

At a thrift: Eddie Cash "Doing All Right" 7" on Peak http://youtu.be/QCi3auOuWOE

At an antique mall type place, a box of 78's all in close to near mint condition which is rare enough for about 50 cents each:

Carl Perkins "Blue Suede Shoes" on Sun

Warren Smith " Ubangi Rock" on Sun

Little Richard "Slippin & Slidin" on Specialty

and dozen or two of Doo Woppers, from the El Dorados, Flamingos, Cadillacs, Spiders etc etc.

Robert , Did yours come with a poster , or a color photo booklet ? If you answered "Poster" , I THINK YOU'VE GOT A REAL RARITY , THERE..... Just wondering. I still go out with girls and stuff.

how funny! i just found a copy of P. Revere and the Raiders "Greatest Hits" in mono, on Columbia, with the poster inside...in near mint condition: it cost me all of $3.00!

John Battles said:

..I recently found Paul Revere and The Raiders' first single "Orbit - The Spy" , a killer surf instrumental that had taken me years to find a copy of , even on a compilation. The "A" side was "Beatnik Sticks" , similar to the Hit follow - up , "Like , Long Hair" , but , arguably the better of the two. This was at an antique store that had'nt got anything "New" in for years. I also just found a Joe Maphis 78 in a thrift store , both sides rockin' Instrumentals. Have'nt found any "Garage" 45s , lately.They turn up , sometimes , if you're patient enough to watch paint peel. 

how cool is that! :)

my dad gave me a box of the nastiest water damaged records and asked me if i wanted them. I didn't really but i thought i'd look through them anyways and i found a mint condition Merry Christmas from the Sonics, The Wailers, and the Galaxies, which i then proceeded to get autographed by all the original members in all three bands who are still alive. it was crazy. That was the only record without damage. It looked like it had been played maybe once or twice.

THE GO SOUND INVASION RADIO SHOW said:

Hi
I'm not at home now but I remember a song by The Downliners Sect with a dark atmosphere maybe "I want my baby back"
a story about a car crash and somebody came out a coffin.... I'll check that in a couple of hour.
Anyway "Creepy thing" by Canadian band "The Worst".

Hey i figured i'd also add my project here it's not only garage though but just a big part of it is.
We are still in the early days working out the concept bit by bit,  feedback is always welcome.

Hey there - if you've already caught my show on Dandelion Radio this month, I suggest you give my colleague The Yank Sizzler a listen - there's so much blues, rock n roll, punk, garage and generally cool shouty music on his show this month!

Check him out here

Cheers!
