and i also dig the venus flytrap one girl band

Hasil was the first I ever heard, John Schooley is the one I've discovered most recently but, my fave is Mark Sultan.

Boss Christ.

I forgot to mention that he currently plays in a band called Scotch Bonnet, which is essentially the same stuff he plays solo, just with a backing band. They are worth checking out, too (that band includes some members of other great bands, one of which is Awesome Color, which is another band worth checking out)

There is this cat here in Michigan called Scotty Karate that used to be in Plumbobs and Crablady. He is totally worth checking out, esp if you're into the Haze.

I like a lot of the ones people have already listed. 

I think my favorite is King Automatic though. 

Ooh great call on Scott H. Biram. He's an artist I definitely need to hear more. Hasil owns this thread. While his work doesn't quite fit the garagepunk spectrum, I think Nash the Slash is incredible.

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 !

Very cool!  Did you tell them to use more cowbell?  Sorry, but that seems to be heard everywhere now!  So did you see them at a club?  Honestly, I didn't even know they were still around...Well at least you did get to meet somebody!

All of you have far cooler experiences than mine. (The Fleshtones AND Gun Club. Swoon.) My big encounter lasted all of a minute when I got to meet Blue Oyster Cult. This was the more recent line up with Buck Dharma, Eric Bloom and Rudy Sarzo on bass. They were all pretty nice though as soon as I walked up I think I heard Eric say something like "Whoah tall girl!." Granted I'm around 5'9 and was probably the tallest person in the area. Are all rock & rollers hobbits or am I just some Amazonian R. Crumb girl? News at 11!

"9 classic Detroit techno classics"

Department of Redundancy Department. ;)

I'll give Mick the benefit of the doubt on this one... I wouldn't know a "classic Detroit techno classic" if it bit me on the dick.

And I'm sure pissing off "garage purists" is one of the reasons he's doing this as he seems to revel in that kind of thing. Remember "Stuck in Thee Garage" on the Dangerous Magical Noise LP?

Love this album, Mick Collins is ten years ahead of his time!

I've just ordered "Party Store," the new Dirtbombs LP where Mick Collins and co. cover 9 classic Detroit techno classics. I've heard a couple of songs and they sound ace. I reckon all the garage purists are gonna hate it. Love to hear some opinions.

Today I was poking around on eMusic.com when I came across those Little Steven's Underground Garage Coolest Songs in the World! comps. Actually, this was the first time I'd even heard of them... I knew he'd been doing this "Coolest Song in the World" thing for years now, but I just didn't know they had been comped. Looking over the track lists on these, I thought to myself, "Wow, these are what he thinks are the coolest songs in the world? Hell, the bands on the Hideout have better stuff than this..." and that's when the light bulb went off over my head! Why not put together a comp or two or sixteen of some of "the coolest songs on the Hideout"? Yeah! These would be digital download compilations only (no physical CDs to get pressed since anyone interested in having them on CD can burn their own CDs themselves if they want). We could make them available here on the Hideout for free and even put them up via TuneCore on eMusic, iTunes, Amazon.com and some other online stores for a nominal fee (selling them there; giving them away for free here). Plus, the songs would also get some spins on our various podcasts... probably more so than anything on Mevio's Music Alley. All I'd need would be some bands to submit material... and there are already a LOT of bands here.

HOW TO SUBMIT SONGS FOR THE HIDEOUT COMP SERIES:

1. First and foremost, you MUST have an account on this site to be a part of the Hideout Comp Series! It doesn't have to be a band page necessarily, but at least one band member must be a registered member here. (That's sorta the point of doing this, ya know... to showcase Hideout bands!) And furthermore, we'd appreciate it if you keep your account active here for at least a year after the comp is released (if we use your song). None of this join the site to submit the song, have it get approved/included on one of the volumes, and then delete your account. That's just not cool. And yes, a few bands have done this already.
2. Specs: Make sure your submission is in 16-bit WAV format, ripped at 1411 kbps (bit rate) and 44.100 kHz (sample rate). Sorry, we can't accept MP3s. And please make sure your WAV files are ripped from CD or a studio master. We don't recommend converting MP3s (especially low bit rate ones) to WAVs, or else the compression artifacts inherent in the MP3 will still be there in the WAV file.
3. It's helpful if you include BOTH the name of the band AND the song title in the file name of the WAV. Something like this: The_Evil_Eyes_Honey_Please.wav (that way I know what the song is and what band submitted it... all very helpful info to have when putting together a compilation album!).
4. We also prefer to have UNMASTERED songs. We can accept mastered songs, just know that if you have an unmastered version, please submit that instead.
5. When you've got your song ready to go, then go to the GRGPNK Soundcloud Drop Box and upload it there for us. Please enter your own email address under "Your Contact Info" and make sure you enable downloads under the track settings, too. And, please, JUST ONE SONG PER BAND!! (Originals only; no covers.)
   
6. Next, go to your email program (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.) and send an email to me at kopper65@gmail.com. The email should include the following information: Band Name, Song Title, and Hideout Page Link - This way I not only know who submitted what songs, but how to connect the songs with their corresponding Hideout member accounts (also very important info for our comp series). Make sure you use the email address that you'll be checking most often, because, if your song makes the cut, you'll be hearing back from me in due time. So keep checking your email! NOTE: Please do NOT send me a message on Facebook, here on the Hideout, or leave a comment for me on my page. I need to keep this stuff organized, and I can't do it if people are leaving me comments and messages all over the damned place... EMAIL ME. That way I can keep it all nice and organized in one place so I don't go completely mad trying to keep on top of everything.
7. After you do all of the above, make sure you join the GRGPNK Records group here to stay on top of the releases, have access to the track lists for each comp, not to mention the download links.
8. IF YOUR SONG IS CHOSEN TO BE INCLUDED on one of our upcoming volumes, I will contact YOU. There is no need for you to keep bugging me about it or email me asking if I got the track. If you don't hear from me, that means your song didn't get selected. However, it may still get selected for a future volume as I keep ALL of these songs on hand, just in case. When I email you, I'll ask you to agree to our terms, which are copied below for you so you know what to expect:

Please be aware that by taking part and submitting music for this series, that you agree that you'll not recoup any money from sales. These comps will be released under a Creative Commons license (Attribution Non-Commercial/No Derivatives), meaning people will be allowed to copy and redistribute the songs as they please, as long as they abide by the Creative Commons guidelines (no modifications or commercial use will be allowed). If you belong to one of the Performance Rights Organizations like BMI, ASCAP or SESAC, you can still release your work under Creative Commons. Read this article for more info. Also, regarding mechanical royalties, if you belong to the Harry Fox Agency (a similar organization that collects mechanical royalties for musicians and other copyright holders), you agree to waive your mechanical royalties for the track submitted. You're making this agreement with the understanding that it is for promotional use only, that hopefully in return for your song appearing on one of these comps, that you'll get some good exposure out of it, and that any money made from sales of downloads from Bandcamp or through eMusic, iTunes, Amazon, Napster, etc. being funneled in through our TuneCore account will go directly towards paying for the distribution of more of these comps in the future, with any leftover money (if any) going towards supporting the GaragePunk Hideout.

Ha!  I'll drink to that !

I'm seriously hoping this is only temporary since Radioblivion was one of the very first podcast I heard from Garagepunk. Sometimes creative folks just need a break.

  In pre-historic times, way back before C.B.G.B.'S, (when I was in High school), music was not so compartmentalized as it is now. Everything was lumped into one big giant category called rock. There were a few sub-genre's. There was not even a genre yet called "Heavy Metal" we used to refer to bands like Black Sabbath  or Jimi Hendrix as "Acid Rock" or Hard Rock. Alice Cooper, Bowie, T.Rex, etc. were "Glitter Rock" (Not Glam). The California Hippie bands were called "Country Rock: & Bob Dylan was "Folk Rock".

  The first time I heard the term "Punk Rock" was in around 74-75 when The NY Daily News did a story on the NY Underground Rock scene & used the term as their Byline. There was a picture  of The Dictators on the cover  of the Sunday entertainment section with those words as the headline. It stuck. As part of that scene, we started referring to it as "Punk Rock". It was way different from what it morphed into & what people nowdays think of as "Punk Rock".

 Basically the idea came from an attitude. Not from an image. The subject matter in the song lyrics is what pieced the scene together. Not the look. That came way after.

 It's why you could have so many diverse bands come from the same scene, though they looked different & sounded different, there was a common thread in the attitude.They were all non conformists. In 1974, it was quite revolutionary to hear a song with lyrics like "Beat On the Brat", (Ramones) "Rip Her To Shreds" (Blondie) "Psycho Killer (Talking Heads). The Clash fit right into that attitude with songs like "White Riot".

 In the beginning, this was a relatively small local scene.I can remember early Ramones shows where there were maybe 20 people in the room. As the idea spread, first across the Atlantic & then out West, the kids in those scenes put their own spin on things until Punk became exactly what it started out to tear down. It's now a pre-conceived notion. A genre with a look & sound that people expect. Take for instance, the mosh pit. I went to C.B.G.B's or Max's just about every weekend from 1974-1983 &I never saw a Mosh Pit. The first time I did see a mosh pit was in San Francisco in 1981 at a Dead Kennedy's show. Now, when you think of Punk, you think Mosh pit. However, the "Punk Scene" had existed for 6 or 7 years before the Mosh Pit became the norm. 

  Some might argue that the 60's Garage Punk scene came before, but that genre was named "Garage Punk" retrospectively. it started to be called that after The Nuggets compilation came about, this was after the NY Underground scene was already being labeled "Punk Rock".

 So this is why people like Patti Smith & Television  are or were called "Punk Rock" and younger kids today do not understand this at all because, they see Punk as something completely different.

 My best advice. Don't worry about it. if you like something who cares what label it falls under?

That's funny. Especially since they DID ban me from terminal boredom Island! lol!
