Bloodshot Bill and all his side projects, like the Ding-Dongs (with Mark Sultan aka BBQ), Tandoori Knights (with King Khan), Mark Sultan.

 

If if you have the chance to see him live, he is the true spirit of rock n roll!

And the singles are essential too in my opinion. Elka of the Trashwomen has been selling some of her stuff on ebay, nothing up at the moment though. Seller ID is: luxe_vintage

I've only heard Spend the Night With.... Highly recommended.

Garage sure isn't trendy in northern British Columbia, which is why bands can't be dangerous up here. It's hard enough getting gigs at the northern folk festivals (and we do like playing them, it's all we have, plus it's a good way to get in free to a three day party). Bands are thrown out for being too rock and roll, sad but true. So no swearing at the audience or spitting whiskey on them - just ask a band called the Turncoats about their Kispiox experience.

I'm curious to know how NoMeansNo did at Atlin or Dawson City a couple years back? (sorry I didn't make it, it's still two days driving north of here) I used to love seeing NoMeansNo and never felt in danger near the stage. Moshing used to be a lot less violent than it is now, and it was fun. Rock and roll should be fun. I totally agree that passion and energy are often lacking, and are a requirement. But after our first gig a few years ago where we almost got into fights with local rednecks at the local pub, we decided that isn't the way to go for rockers in their 30s and 40s. Passion and energy can just mean a good fucking time is had by all.

The thing I can't down with in regards to the new crop of 'garage' bands is they are all so fucking wimpy!  Where's the danger, the excitement, the punk rock?  I like psych, and I like some stoner-y kinda stuff too, but I need some energy and passion and spite and hate in my rocknroll to really get me going.  I rarely feel an element of danger bands live shows these days, it's either straight up 'bug' music (see: The Flintstones) or it's just so wimpy that I can't get behind it.  I don't need a GG Allin show, but c'mon, make me feel like I might get hurt if I get a little too close to the stage, y'know?!  GIMME DANGER LITTLE STRANGER

The mainstream music media have been heralding a ‘garage rock revival’ every other year for about the last 30 odd years. If it encourages a few people to explore the genre and get listening to good music then I’m all for it (it certainly worked on me…), but it’s almost always a pretty spurious link. It takes more than owning a Vox Phantom and a pair of winkle-pickers to make a garage band.

The "garage" label is trendy these days. It's sad but that's way the way media work when something sound cool and new. Like punk was kind of cool until you see it hitting the fashion runway.

Bands and musicians can say whatever they want about their music, how garage it is, in the end it is the listener to decide if it is good or not.

Any tag put to music will change the way I feel about music, I like trashy, dirty and crazy, that 's all, if something can fit in it, that's good to me.

Cheers!

That is a GREAT point Rob! There is definitely an element of danger missing in a great deal of music today. Lux from The Cramps had a lot to say about that i.e. Rock shouldn't be safe! It's about rebellion and fun with risks. That's waht we get stuck with when bands try to please everyone and don't want to "offend" anyone. I say "Offend away, Offendi!" that's what rock, garage, and punk are all about. If bands are afraid to be dangerous or offensive, they should go sing lullabies to babies or campfire songs to Boy Scouts.

Definitely the Nuggets box set and Here Are the Sonics!

Wow maybe I am old, but for me when around 6 or 7, my father gave me a pile of 78 to play on my little toy record player, saying those one were mine (because he didn't about old RnR). I played them a lot, but he one that hook me on music, garage or not, was Little Richard "Keep A-knockin' ". Everything in that song was, for a young who couldn't understand english, totally insane. The beat, the voice, the energy, it puts a mark on my soul. Music can be totally out of control. Next time, the other song to have such an impact one me was the Ramones "Blitzkrieg Bop" at 11.  That was it, at this age I have decided I will never follow mainstream boring music. Still on the same path since then.

Bloodshot Bill, and BBQ (Mark Sultan) both from Montréal and awesome performers!!

Thanks for the tip, Kopper. I'm a little short on computer skills & even less patient. That would have been my next move but my man Frank N. Stroud solved the mystery. Keep up the good work.

kopper said:

OK, first of all, you should probably post this in the Destroy All Music group forum. I'm not sure why you posted it in this regional forum, other than the fact that you might think the band may be from a Midwestern town, but then again you didn't mention that in your post, so who knows! So yeah, post this in that other group (esp. since it's probably an '80s hardcore band, anyway). A lot more members there and people who may be able to help you out.

By the way, if you really want to find out who did the song, rip an MP3 of it and upload it to your profile or attach it to your topic. That way people can actually HEAR the song. It's quite easy these days to take a simple mini plug and run it from a cassette deck into a computer with Audacity (PC) or GarageBand (Mac) and do a digital recording, then export the file as an MP3.

YES! Many thanks, Frank. I have to confess I never would have figured that out. The name of the song is "Indian Eyes" (found it on Youtube). I've never heard of the band. Seems that there are a few songs on the tape by Uniform Choice including "Don't Quit" & "Cut Of A Different Cause". Damn I love this site!

Hey M'Man,

 

I think it's Uniform Choice off of Region Of Ice. Look that up and see if it isn't a match for you.

 

Cheers,

I had to hunt the tape down & blow the dust off (these Maxell metal tapes are amazingly enduring) I'm having a hard time making out certain parts, but some of the lyrics are:

      I remember never letting pain remain

      forever lost, falling pieces of a fallen man

      for me & then it comes.

      It happened so long ago, below my clear sight

      Broken pieces of a broken heart as autumn fades to white.

 

     Still a chill in the air, broken skies are everywhere

     But I can't complain. The cold keeps out the rain.

     Gotta fight a fire from a spark inside my mind.

     Can't seem to learn the dreams that seem to burn.

 

    Looking back to the forests & fields again

    I'd make you understand if I could only dreams remain where I stood.

 

There's more, I'm just not sure how much stopping, rewinding & playing a 20 year old cassette tape will tolerate. Again, I'm fairly certain I have some of these wrong, but it's the best I can decipher.I guess my next move is to figure out how to turn a track from a cassette into a file that I can upload to my playlist.

Got any more lyrics?..........this is tantalizing.

If nothing else, he is a great performer.

I saw him play with the E Street Band in 1981. Though I wasn't much of fan of his, this show knocked me on my ass. 5 1/2 hours performance, the band smoked, so did he. Still never bought any records of his since then but he'll always be dear to my heart.

Two more: The (Dutch) Outsiders and Q65:

The Birds and The Sorrows, definitely. Good calls, Dead Boy.

The Birds reminded me of another modern band she should check into, too, the Embrooks (probably because they cover "Say Those Magic Words"). Here's another good one:
