    • never heard of DM BOB at al but sounds cool, will check it out - there's also a track by Jamey Johnson which is pretty down home... I only just checked him out so can't vouch for everything, it's got slick production which ain't my bag but the attitude's fair enough...

    • I have a bunch of different amps, all different sizes. But the one I am really proud of: I just scored a good-condition 67 Fender Super Reverb from a music shop right down the street. I paid $400 cash plus about $200 worth of some other vintage stuff, so I feel like I scored the deal of a lifetime. I've wanted a Super since I was a kid. I never expected to get one, let alone one like that for such a rediculous price.

      Peavey also makes some great little tube amps. I have a tweed Delta Blues (30 watts, 15' speaker, tremelo & reverb). That thing is pretty awesome. If you search Craigslist, there is always one of those Peavey Classics on there.

    • There's also this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fivHgX9XImg&feature=youtu.be

      The new Korg SV-1, it's marketed as an Electric piano, however it has a really great vox sound, which you can see in the middle of this you tube demo.(around 2:39) However, it's freaking expensive. (2K). Maybe, just maybe they'd put out a cheaper, stripped down version without all the bells & whistles?? Korg, are you listening??

    • Pick up "Children of Nuggets" on Rhino. That will be a good introduction.

    • Club Dog and Alice in Wonderland (run by the Dr) were also good clubs, but generaly had more psych bands than garage (Magic Mushroom Band, Treatment, Ozric Tentacles, etc)

    • Rip off Records!! Look em up and their catalog is a good reference. Also the drags were pretty great.

    • Whatever happened to the Playn Jane. 

      One of the greatest Psych bands of the 80s never cracked it on vinyl but some of the greatest gigs at the Marquee in my memory. 

       

      One classic friday night with the  Prisoners at the Clarendon in Hammersmith  Twas the mutts nuts !!!!!!

    • I played in The Surfadelics in the mid-80s in London (not to be confused with the later, Italian band!) There was a big garage scene at the time, centered around the Clarendon at Hammersmith. I remember The Milkshakes, The Cannibals, Treatment (psychedelic)

    • Oh yeah, man, oh yeah. It's amazing to see how many great bands put out records then.

      Glad to see the Humpers in there among those other legends. That is a lively scene those guys came from. If I'm not wrong Red Aunts come from that corner too. And you know who that is folks right? Hint: TWO TEARS.

    • I always liked me some Mudhoney.

      This is great! Good subject, good question, good responses. Thanks!

       

      I guess I'll chime in as the "grunge guy""...

       

      I always thought Mudhoney was a pretty cool band from the latter part of that era, along with some of the other Sub Pop bands from back then.

      Look into the Sub Pop label for that Seattle slice of this pie.

    • Rikki is playing with The Mission Creeps from AZ. We started Kiss Kiss Bang Bang with her, but she lives too far from us, (we're in LA & she's down in Riverside). We are a new band & needed a lot of rehearsal to develop songs. The Mission Creeps are already established, so it was easier for her to jump right in with them. We did do one gig with Rikki, and are still friends. In fact we will be playing together (Mission Creeps & Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) @ Spike's in Rosemead CA in July. We now have Tony DeHerrera from The Vaquetones on drums. I'm not sure what the other Bandits are doing. We did a gig with the new lineup recently. I guess they broke up for personal reasons.

    • Rikki Styxx is married to drummer Dusty Watson (ex-Lita Ford, Kind Diamond, Agent Orange, Dick Dale, etc.).  He's a friend of mine on Facebook.  He posted something about Rikki being in another band semi-recently.

    • I'd really like to know. The Woolly Bandits looked and sounded like the greatest rock band ever. Then they went on tour in Europe. Now the band has a completely different sound and lineup, instead of the coolest rock band ever, they look like Christa and her four middle aged guy friends. Anybody have any info? Anybody know what Johnny Keys, Rikki Styxx, and Tracy Lee Skull are up to?

      I've Never Been to Me - Charlene. Personally I really wish she'd never been to a recording studio.

      American Pie - Don McLean. If all was right with the world, he would have drove his Chevy to the levy, accelerated off the edge and then sunk to the bottom of some fathomless depth of water, where neither he nor his horrendous song would be heard again.

      Where Do You Go to My Lovely - Peter Sarstedt. The song makes me vomit, and that's comment enough.

    • They've got a cool sound. Your description was very accurate. Thanks for the heads up...

    • I like to play the Black Flag version with the Richard Berry's. Simultaneously.

       

      But my vote goes for The Sonics. It feels more like an homage to the Wailers' version, than The Kingsmen's.  I like that.
