I didn't realize she was so pretty.  Not one of my faves but definitely did some interesting stuff.

I think this pretty underratewd band can find its place in this section....right??? Who's a fan???:);:)!

really lookin forward to seeing the line up - it's looking like we will start our US vacation with the Shakedown and finish with the Norton shindig !

It's happening in October and I will be there! https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=221130901258379

The dates are October 13 - 15.  Line-up will be announced soon.  On the garage end, I can say Untamed Youth will be playing.

Now my phone isn't completely useless. It now has a " special purpose"

check out the Urges, their Psych Ward lp from '07 is amazing, vinyl released on Screaming Apple

Today's bands: of course Curlee Wurlee! (see seeeeeeeensational new release on my page) feat. VOX Super Continental and Hammond, from Germany: The Hara-Kee-Rees on Farfisa, from Irland: The Urges, from Greece: The Frantic V on Farfisa (new release out now too), from France: Sheetah & les Weissmüller. And next to those great 80s bands you mentionned before, i was missing the fantastic Prisoners on Hammond (as well as almost all Graham Day bands). 60s bands: there are plenty of them... in addition to your suggestions, i'm also thinking of The Fabs and The Heard right now (ultra cheesy organ sound) and... of course The Monks (Philicorda)!

Check out the Crimson Shadows, from Sweden and the Sound Explosion from Greece.

It's not a problem man. :) I think the retro organ sounds of the 60's are one of the things that turned me on to it in the first place. Can't go wrong with this one:

or this one for sure which you probably heard:

Dead Moon, all the way!

I think it's all up to the person playing the guitar. I bet Link Wray would look cool rocking an Ibanez.

hi john! just thought i'd reply, cos i'll chilling on a beach for a week. first of all i'd like to say i suffer from G.A.A.G.S...."gotta 'ave a gretsch syndrome"....., although those little 300-buck danelectro dano pros are soooo sexy! to reply to your question...this site is so amazing that i don't have time to fully investigate all it's possibilities...ergo, thinks get done on a whim, rather than with the methodical, systematic rigour of, say, a computer programmer(hi there kopper!). i'm just happy to get any sort of response; humorous, technical, sociable or reprimanding. as long as i(and others) learn something, or at least have a laugh! :+)) why don't you start a discussion about that very same topic, john? i'd willingly contribute. i remember those lonely, frightening, bewildering first days at university....sometimes i feel like that on the hideout! when i come back, we'll talk guitars...., and how they ruin our lives:+) all the best!

I have found that it's hard to get replies in bands and musicians, there are so many groups and I think most people just stay on the main site. Have you had this same problem?

duke cottonhead said:

i agree it should have been in bands and musicians, but there you go!

Mardy Pune said:

haha great topic! Should be over in the Bands and Musicians group though.

I've got a '94 Japanese Fender Strat. 62 reissue something. Gutted the pickups out, dropped some decent ones in, gave it a setup and fucking rock n roll she goes!

I love it, it does everything I need it to. Every other guitar I look at is just a cheap whore as far as I'm concerned!

why do you wanna be cool?

Devi Ever is the queen of fuzz, she makes them for both guitar and bass. Check out her site, many product videos.

The Musket is a pretty damn good fuzz.

Cosmic Psychos have a great fuzz basss sound...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuPfCm8KMg0

Yeah, the Nuggets boxed set brought me back face-first, which was a good thing since I wasn't really listening to garage anymore at the time. Garage rock 'n' roll really didn't exist here where I live due to a shitty radio market and lack of interest here. So yeah, Nuggets blew it all back open for me...thankfully!

gotta say it was Nuggets in my case, which a friend brought back from England transferred onto a tkt cassette, waaaay back.
