i listen to the dutchess and the duke as well, the duke was the singer of the fe fi fo fums, a decent garage band.

the Dutchess and the Duke (not relly garage-punk,but totally addictive)
thee Makeout Party-Play Pretend LP, today.
Thanks Buddy !
Bye 'surf punk' what are some examples? Agent Orange? Man or Astro-man?
I know Agent Orange were using the Crate Vintage Palamino amps a few years back.
MOAM? use Fender amps, of course.
We usually write as a band. Either I will have most of the music in my head already or I'll have a couple riffs that I have been working on and we will play one over and over until the singer starts to find his words. Once we have a verse or two then we try to make some changes. Organize and mapping comes next. Then we usually record it so we can listen and come up with more ideas. The song on my page Do it is the rough recording about ten minutes in. I had an Idea of changing the chords in the chorus after the second verse. Probable after listening to a bunch of early Sonic Youth. We are about to re record it with a drum track that I just finished. Let me know what you think.
I have always played mostly power chords but I'm trying to write melodies on single strings now..it sounds a lot more garage and less punk rock that way. it feels a lot catchier too.

I tend to come up with some kind of riff or idea on the guitar then think of some idea I want the song to be about and then come up with words. I'm really slow at it though and don't write as often as I would like. So far for the band I'm in I've tried to not really sound like any thing in particular but I plan on trying to do some more pure "garage/punk" songs eventually.

I usually write lyrics and then figure out the melody and then write the music. Then it gets tweaked with the rest of the band. I like to have a good buzz on for this writing process but occasionally out of the blue the whole song comes out at once and is done in minutes. whats your method?
Old Ampeg reverberocket is what I like. I tried a 90s one at a friends house as well as a more recent ampeg reverberocket headand. The newer ones didnt have the same raunch factor. This is with a junior lester as well. I like the fuzzrite in front of it, or seymour dunkie pickup booster set to the treble boost for more fenderish clean chime.

I'm gonna agree on this one. I too, used to have an Ampeg Reverberocket. I was using a Gibson LP Jr at the time and it sounded amazing through this. I have an Epiphone Galaxie all tube from the mid 90s now, which is pretty close.

I used to have an Ampeg Reverberocket. That thing was awesome. Wish I still had it!
Dead Elvis & Bloodshot Bill ofcourse, but i'm gonna pick Ottoboy from Holland. Look him up, cool stuff
Joe Buck for sure. Going to his show here in San Diego on the 21st

Seems like Hasil has inspired a new generation.
Anybody heard of Joe Buck?
How about Richard Johnston, out of Memphis. Bloody Ol' Mule from Dallas is pretty good too. They are the only two off the top of my head I can think of right now. I think Johnston playing his cigar box/ broomstick guitar is pretty cool.
Of course Hasil Adkins is the supreme ruler!
I've also seen and loved Bob Log III, BBQ & Dead Elvis.
Havent seen Ty Segall live yet but we listen to him alot at our house.
My friend Fred has started a one-man band, I haven't seen him yet but I think its called "Fredovitch" and he also plays organ in King Khan & The Shrines- here is a video I found on youtube of him:
KING AUTOMATIC
URBAN JUNIOR
JOHN SCHOOLEY
BEAT-MAN
Thanks! Just downloaded it.
I'm planning to get the book in the near future :):)
this is also awsome...on a show in sardinia in 2009 NOBUNNY climbs a wall and fells into the drumset...
Best show I have seen in 2010 was by NOBUNNY!!! It was his first show in Switzerland and he totally freaked out...fucked his guitar after the first song and threw it away so that it was broken...went crazy afterwards and jumped into the crowd to end up on the floor with no reaction...everybody thought the show is over, he's totally fucked up! but he went on, affronted the crowd all the time and was dangerous the whole show so that the crowd was scared and went away a bit from the stage...hehe...he ended up totally naked, playing with his penis on stage and fell into broken glass...it was GREAT, like seeing a gay, swishy GG ALLIN with a bunny mask on....
her some videos from the show....

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET AT NIGHT
THINKING IN MY MIND THAT MY LIFE WAS RIGHT
THE MOON CAME UP AND I LOOKED AROUND
THE STREET LIGHTS WERE ON NOWHERE AROUND.
MY EYES WERE DARK AND MY HEART BEAT FAST
I KNEW THAT MY DARK SIDE COULD NOT LAST
IT WAS DARK AS IT COULD BE
A DEEP SEA DIVER COULD NOT SEE
CARS WERE DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAM
YOU COULDN'T EVEN TELL IF MR. CLEAN WAS CLEAN.
I LIT A MATCH AND I WALKED ON HOME
MY NIGHT SIDE DARK TIME COLD AND ALONE
WALKED IN MY DOOR AND TO MY SURPRISE
I HAD SUNGLASSES ON MY EYES

One of the lonely things about being a music critic and a lover of off-the-beaten-wall music is that you tend to get very excited about songs and albums and artists that nobody you know, not even your hipper friends, not even most of your hipper online friends, has ever heard of. You’re the one person in the forest when the tree falls and you scream, “Yes! There was a sound!” But even those who believe you don’t really care.
late beatles pre let it be rules. abbey road is alright for being from that era, but the real treasure is the white album.
