important is a BIG word, but for me Mick Collins the man. he challenged me to look into other genres; rhythm&blues, soul, funk, punkrock, pop. for the big audience Jay Reatard is the man

Here's another: FRONTIER TRUST
These guys played in St. Louis a couple of times back in the '90s and were fan-fucking-tastic. It was more than just "cowpunk"... more like TRACTOR PUNK. I can't find any videos on YouBoob (a shame), but if I were you, I'd hunt down their "Speed Nebraska" LP... click the link below:

Supposedly you can get a free download here, but I can't get the page to come up:

Amazon has it, though:

I have a 45 or two by them but that's been about it. I don't know that anything else ever got released.. I like what I have and would like to have heard more from them.

I love 'em to death, but don't think the Jet Black Berries ever really got their due.....

And don't forget The Gibson Bros. I like the album they did with Workdogs, Punk Rock Drivin' Song of a Gun.

You should also check out Pat Todd (former lead man of the Lazy Cowgirls) and the Rank Outsiders. Good stuff there, as well.
And not necessarily "cowpunk," but the Reigning Sound and the Compulsive Gamblers both have some cool countrified garage tracks.

Yo's. Not really new but havn't posted in here yet.I'm Andrew from Melbourne, Australia. Work as a communications technician. I enjoy my folk/psych/garage/hardcore/protopunk/shitgaze/lofi/krautrock/postpunk and so forth. I mostly follow my local scene in Australia...UV Race, Slug Guts, Straight Arrows, Royal Headache etc.

And a 7" split double version with Melvins has been released too.

If you're still in Oregon, you should definetly hit Portland every now and then as it has a good number of record stores that still have decent records mostly in the Broadway district.

I was in college before I got to listen to garage. Montana can be something of a cultural void. So working radio in Eugene I heard Thee Headcoatees, Billy's girl band with Holly Golightly. Then the Cramps, the Candysnatchers, April March (& the Makers), I still don't know shit and that's all I know for sure. I do love the sound though.

I would have to say that back when I was about 7 years old. Going through mom's records, she only had a few. I found the Shangri Las, "Leader of the Pack" and have been hooked since then.

Going all the way is a blinding tune :)

I think it was Pebbles Vol 1, sometime around 1990 - that skip in 'Action Woman' won me over straight away. Beaver Patrol, Potato Chip, 1-2-5, Going All The Way, etc...

I normally play through one of these (picture stolen)
but I when I play with a group, I use a Vox AC30 reissue that is part solid state and has one tube to make it sound real. I love it.

get yourself two plain heavy glasses. Make a sandwich with the vinyl and then you have two options:
- put it in the oven, low temperature and door open for some minutes, always keeping an eye on it
- or in a warm sunny day, make the same and let the sun do the job
That's a good record that deserves to be saved!

Hey guys I guess this would be the best place for this question. I have a really nice copy of The In Crowd - Nothing you do / Midnight Hour on Ronn. It's got a big hump in the middle of it. I'd really like to repair it but have no idea on how to go about doing that without screwin up the record. Any good solutions?
