I saw Subourbon Son a year or so ago and he was great! I hope he's still doing it.

Although he wasn't a full one-man band, Cranford Nix(R.I.P.) and his guitar could really control and thoroughly entertain a crowd, even those who had never heard of him.

i saw them a few times a couple years back and they were great. i haven't heard much of them since. nice to know they're still around.

The Readies you say, eh??!!!:)

I used to post to the truffle, lots of folks from the PNW if I remember correctly.

I agree with you. The only punk rock album by the clash is the first the one. The rest is punk-influenced at best.

Hey A!

Thanks for asking and I'm glad you enjoy them! Please feel free to repost and link, it's appreciated, that's for sure.

Bestest, IDON

Nice artwork ID very cool.
Can I put them on my various sites with links to your GaragePunk page?

Thanks

Hey,
I enjoyed the stuff they came up with! The show filled with bootlegs was great too of course.

I put some drawings of Lux together and made a drawn tribute, (belated, thanks to activities in the other life...), you can see it here on my Hideout Blog: http://ning.it/fWiUL0

Thanks ID

Appreciate your offer, I've got two lovely ladies who've put seperate covers together so I reckon I'm covered BUT in the future I'm changing the format of show away from the themed show to a more looser format! And I'm more than happy to shw off yours or any other GP's work. I do enjoy looking for images myself but it would be good to promte any artist/graphic listeners out there.

Mr A

Fantastic!

not impressed. in fact, pretty lazy and horrible

disappointed...very

we not like this new record.

I heard Dirtbombs have been invited to play at the next "Movement" techno festival in Detroit.

Well I only listened the album once and I was .... petrified.
Now I'm a bit skeptical (I have to listen to it again) and I wonder: what about the live act ??
Did Mick Collins or someone else in the band say something about it ?
Eric.

Geez, you know I love the Funk and I'm glad people do too. The stuff you named shows that. Just saying, it would turn those people off on a high rate that are purely into loud trash (therefor the percentage - it's not aimed at the world population or aware music listeners. Sorry if I didn't make that clear). :)

+ The Dirtbombs may be looked at by the younger Techno crowd outside Detroid for a second with this album and all it's remixes. But they won't cut into it and see it as a good thing, that would lead them to listen to other material by them. They will jump back to their David Guetta derivate and think it's the shit. Just my lame-ass prediction though...

Anyhow, I know I'm sticking my neck out with this and don't mean to compare, but why this interest me and why I give it the genral "OK" button, is because: I see this happening in a larger swap of work, along with Mr. Quintron, Hunx's earlier Gravy Train!!!! involvement and the SUICIDE/punk connection. Hell, even the later New Wave thing. Bear in mind, that's only my corner to come from though. "People" always hate that stuff when it's out - everyones got their personal likes, so what the hey.

Even Muddy Waters got shit for his Electric Mud back then and he just played the same cool stuff as always. But I'm drifting off... Finally, I'm happy these guys step out of their comfort zone, playing round with the form, should we dig it or not.

I'm still waiting for Mick to go all Funk, like he said he would some time ago. Now that would be boring to 92% of ... hmmm, everyone.

Are you kidding me? Funk is a lot more popular than that. Just look at how successful King Khan & the Shrines have been! People love George Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic, not to mention James Brown. Hell, there've always been funk cover bands in St. Louis, even. And let's not forget the whole funk/rap/metal craze of the late '80s, either. Fishbone used to be a good ska band until they jumped on that funk bandwagon.

Tied in with that are the (Scion sponsored) techno remixes of Ditbombs songs that were announced two days ago. Here is the press release with links to free downloads:

 

The Dirtbombs, the venerable Detroit garage outfit formed by Mick Collins, will be the next entry in Scion A/V's ongoing remix series. While the project intitally seems at odds with The Dirtbombs' oft-traditional blend of garage, punk, and soul, the new album marks a stylistic departure for the band, paying homage to the diversity of their hometown with a collection of classic Detroit Techno covers. Scion A/V, long proponents of both the garage rock and Detroit techno scenes, are commemorating the effort by releasing an EP of techno remixes of The Dirtbombs' covers, along with a booklet of stories by Collins about his youth in Detroit, his first exposure to Detroit techno at parties in 1982, and, most surprisingly, his forays into making dance records before forming the massively influential garage band The Gories, which his name would soon become synonymous with.

 

Opening with the classic 1981 A Number of Names single "Sharevari", recontextualized through both theDirtbombs' and ubiquitous Detroit house DJ Omar S's filters. Then, handclaps and heavily delayed guitar lines signal the intro to techno collective Ectomorph's remix of the band's take on Knights of the Jaguar's classic 1999 single "Jaguar". The third and final remix, of Innerzone Orchestra's "Bug in the Bassbin", is a gritty facelift by Kyle Hall, the 19-year-old prodigy already being praised by the likes of XLR8R and many others as the new face of Detroit techno. Closing out the collection is the original Dirtbombs version of "Sharevari".

 

 

Scion A/V Remix: The Dirtbombs tracklisting:

1. Sharevari (Omar S Remix)

2. Jaguar (Ectomorph Remix)

3. Bug In The Bassbin (Kyle Hall Remix)

It's not something I can listen to like regular rock n roll, but on my computer I have a bunch of acid jazz and electric violin instrumentals that don't go anywhere. They are boring to listen to for fun but sometimes if I'm doing something where I need concentration and a little bit less music then that kind of stuff is pretty cool. I can't be bothered to listen to a 6 minute song of repetitiveness because it goes nowhere but as far as background noise goes it's cool.

Would I be paying attention to it if I didn't know it was The Dirtbombs? Really I don't know jack shit about Garage music. I got into this whole thing last year when I joined the site and this might make a few folk cry but this might just be the first Dirtbombs song I heard!

kopper said:

The song posted above sounds like someone trying to learn guitar over a techno backbeat, at least at the beginning. Then later on it sounds like disco, then back to meandering guitar that goes nowhere. I find it quite tiresome and annoying. There's no ROLL to it. Like a continuous buildup but no climax. I mean, what's next? Hand claps? I usually try to listen to things a few times before giving any opinions, but in this case, I'm with Teenfink.

Also, consider this: Would you be paying ANY attention to this if you didn't know it was the Dirtbombs?
Mike Humsgreen said:

I don't know much about techno but because they are using actual instruments to do the covers, it just sound like a jazzy instrumental. The redigitized stuff on scion just sounds like someone shat on my speaker.

A note to let garage rock podcasters know that most of The Brymers songs have been uploaded to Music Alley for podcast play.  I believe there are over 60 tracks - many from the 60's.  Feel free to use any of the songs.

I'm a big fan of Guitar Wolf,

While i was on tour in japan, we went to see Guitar Wolf backstage before their show in tokyo on the first night there, we meet the Foo Fighters guys in the audience and make fun of Dave Grohl.

Days after that we went to restaurant with Seiji and the manager after  an other Guitar wolf show  ! nice chat about a french version of "Jet boy jet girl" and the manager went out completly drunk !
