Teenanger says 'Hey' back to you Tommy!!

Tommy Careless said:

Ha ha, What a hoser I've become.  Really though I can't think of a whole lot more note worthy things... And I'm thinking Daniel Fred & Julie might have been oh nine.  

Do say "hey" for me. They stayed at my place and were too polite to say my dog was being a jerk.

Post Script Hoser itself is worth some Cancon cred, am I right ?

Ooh, that would be a definite Road Trip!

Good to hear, I wonder if they will cut into Memphis at some point and mess stuff up with the Oblivians.

I wasn't in STL then, Never made it to any Miss Nights shows, I saw them in S.F. with the Dwarves ( Dwarves if I remember correctly?)

kopper said:

Yeah, no shit. Were you at the Mississippi Nights show? If I remember correctly, they were with the Oblivians, or at least I remember seeing Eric O backstage with them. I think I had a backstage pass or something and got to meet them. It's been so freakin' long ago I can't remember! Argh.

Recordgrooves said:

Ugh, been almost 14years since I've seen them!

 

*Jealous*

I saw them in NYC at Santos Party House in September 2010.  Crazy loud, totally awesome.

Wanted to be sure to give my folks on the Hideout a heads up since they are playing small places and dont get over here all that much.  You know where my heart is.  :)  have a great weekend

Dude, agreed.  However, when I noticed that they suddenly added Detroit today on top of 3 others..well, it's a tour as you go kind of thing probably or however that works these days!~   My gut tells me more will be added as time goes as they talk to clubowners and bookers, etc......  IMHO of course

Harumph. Playing a few dates is hardly a "tour." Just my humble opinion, mind you.

Yes, it's true..Guitar Wolf is on tour, limited dates right now. Chicago and Detroit, couple of others ...check ticketmaster, fiends.  Cant wait.

I've had lots of difficulty getting through to Craig (The Barman) about his podcast, but it doesn't appear he's that interested in doing it much anymore, anyway, as he hasn't posted an episode since last September and only did a total of two episodes all of last year. So I'm looking for someone new to do an all-Aussie/Kiwi podcast with new monthly episodes to include on the GaragePunk Podcast Network that originates here on the Hideout. In fact, you can even use "Antipodean Attack!" as the name if you'd like (it'd be nice to tie it in with this group). If you've ever thought about doing a podcast, maybe now is your opportunity. I'd prefer someone with some prior public speaking and/or radio/podcasting experience, as it's pretty difficult for someone who's never spoken into a mic before to do a show that captures their personality and displays a lot of spirit that you need to have a really great show that people will want to listen to. The music should also be a good mix of old vs. new stuff, and I'd expect to hear some great '60s garage/surf along with the cutting-edge new garage/punk/surf acts from the region. If you think you have what it takes, then let me know and get to work!

They don't float my boat. Too indie rock for my blood, I guess. Sound like T.Rex meets Hunx & His Punx.

I wanted to punch that Smith Westerns kid in his stupid pretentious face. The song sounded like a T. Rex tune, though. Are they worth listening to, 'cause I'm kind of turned off to them now.

And I won't !

Coz I love that girl !

You can't mess with KO.

I really enjoy The Shadows and think their version of Apache is terrific but I wonder who started putting that sort of sound effect (pick scratch with delay) in there that wasn't on The Shadows single, the Ventures?  I love that bit!

Yup, we already scheduled cassette and CD release here, but wanted to have european CD or 7inch release too : )

Probably, we will try to send some of it to distros outside the border. Yesterday i wrote tonns of letters, but still nothing :)

damned damned damned !! how could i forget?!  although i think machine gun ettiquette is a better album, it was this one that started the journey... and the "New Wave" compilation that vertigo put out - that was my first real taste of punk and living in a country town it was like setting a fire! deadboys, hell, new york dolls...

Nick X said:

The Clash's first two albums were both great.
X - Los Angeles
Richard Hell and the Voidoids - Blank Generation
Teenage Head - Teenage Head
The Damned - Damned Damned Damned
Dead Boys - Young, Loud and Snotty
The Saints - (I'm) Stranded
X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolescence
Buzzcocks - Singles goin Steady
The Jam - In the City

I want to include the Zero Boys but they were second wave.
