This is Hey! Charger. We were around in the mid-90's and was me (Al Creed) on guitar and vocals and Bill Gibson on bass/vocals (eastern dark, new christs, lemonheads .. and hundreds more!!) and pete kelly from the New Christs. We never played much but loved our power-pop ... anyway hope youse enjoy it.

We had some really good power-pop bands here in Australia in the 80's /// the Stems and Someloves of course. But one of my faves who i saw nearly every show of until their untimely demise were the Eastern Dark! fantastic pop tunes and lots of energy.

yeah love their power-pop pre-swamp phase!!!

I agree with 99% of the suggestions made here. Only thing missing the the Scientists - Pissed On Another Planet collection. Superb!

Hey, check out this swedish 80's garage/powerpop band: The Bangsters. They got signed to the French label New Rose in '84 who were so impressed with their demo that they released it just the way it was, no sugar added. The band features swedish hardcore punk pioneer Rolf Revålt on drums.

I'm glad Die Wasted brought up the Biters. Great band! Other faves: The Decibels, The Blades, The (Paul Collins) Beat, The Records, & The Fabulous Poodles.

Saw this band live for the first time the other night. Absolutely awesome! Not just the music but what a great show this band put on. I couldn't see the drummer but the other members were all really animated. Sometimes you see a band live and and all the attention is focussed on the singer - not these chaps, they all earnt their money! And t-shirts only a tenner to boot!

Are you talking about the record Brian Jones did in Morocco? That is weird stuff haha..
I have been listening last days to a african band from zambia called CHRISSY ZEBBY TEMBO & NGOZI FAMILY.
Very nice fuzzy groove from mid 70's.. Reminds me of Brant Bjork vs The Clash or somethink...

Yeah, someone posted Cazumbi earlier in the post, what a KILLER collection that is! I played some tracks on Sonic Nightmares soon after. In fact I played quite a few tips on the show since the posts!
@ Axel... Dátar and this song "Kling Klang" is very groovy!!
Happy to see this thread revived. I've been listening to Brian Jones - presents the pipes of pan at jajouka. It's a record he compiled hoping to inspire the Rolling Stones, but we all know how that story ended up.

I came across garage comp called Cazumbi - African 60's Garage. I was pleasantly surprised (and I'm from Africa!)

You have'nt heard that one...
That Icelandic band is called Dátar and this song "Kling Klang" is from their lp "Leyndarmál" from 1966

Beautiful.....

No problem - I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Rwanda-billy? Sounds great - I want to hear some - I'm a fan of a lot of ..billy.
March 31, 2011 7:30 AM CDT
thank you so much mandrax, i'll check it out immediately. there's a precedent for everything, even rwanda-billy. i thought i'd invented it! ;-)

punk musician is an oxymoron! yours respectfully, a non-musician.

I played the Italia. It played pretty well straight outta the box and played/sounded fantastic after a setup. I never played an Eastwood so I can't comment.
April 2, 2011 4:04 AM CDT
as far as eastwood goes, our guitarist has a 6 string model and it totally kicks ass!no info on the 12 models though...

I don't know much about 12 string guitars, BUT Dillion is now making Rickenbacker knock-offs in a 12 string. Have you tried Harmony Central's User Reviews?
April 1, 2011 2:22 PM CDT
I'm shopping around and wanted feedback / tips on things to watch for. I really don't like buying a guitar (especially used) online but it seems like nobody carries them for me to compare. I don't want to spend $1000 and end up with something less than perfect in every way, shape, and form.
Has anyone played an Italia Rimini 12 http://www.italiaguitars.com/guitarDetail_outer.php?thisGuitarId=18
How about an Eastwood Classic 12 or Nashville 12 http://www.eastwoodguitars.com/

I've always wanted to hit Gonerfest...who played?
April 1, 2011 1:32 PM CDT
I never went either. I never used to believe in regrets... I went to my first Gonerfest this past year and I'm kicking myself for missing the earlier ones, especially since it's relatively close to me. SXSW seems too overblown at this point but I'm sure there are plenty of great bands playing on the fringes. I'm keeping my ear to the ground for stuff like Sleazefest.

After a long hiatus I've restarted my blog 'The Mystery Plane' (www.mysteryplane.blogspot.com).
It's jam-packed with garage/surf/rock'n'roll and trash goodness!
check it out (pretty please!)
