It is the tyranny of distance that stopped me seeing these and many more bands.

Living in Australia we have great home grown bands, I mean I have lost count of the number of times I saw the HardOns for instance.

But so many great American and European bands never made it to our shores. :-(

Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix and The Beatles (:

Hi Dave, That may prove a little difficult then :)

Have heard they will play a show in NYC before the London date which is a damm sight nearer. Best of luck Rob

Detect a pattern here? Last time they played in Canada was 1978 and i didn't go to see them as i wasn't a huge fan. Now that i'm older (but definitely not wiser) and a HUGE fan of The Groovies AND Roy and Cyril are out doing shows, i gotta see them!! A-Bones are the perfect back up bands as Mirian was the Prez of The Flamin' Groovies fanclub for many years.

I did get to see Magic Christian (Cyril's new combo) about 2 years ago and that just whet my appetite even more for a real Flamin' Groovies show!!

I always used GHS 010.
They're cheap and turn rusting without breaking.

Try Elixir, they are twice as much as most strings but they last four times as long, you do the math.

Sounds fascinatin'! Really does.

Just watched a brilliant Japanese movie called Fish Story, do yourselves a favour and see it if you haven't already. Great story with a fine punk song that ties the whole film together.

Is this blocked at work?

I had a great amp at one time... back when I was briefly learning guitar. An Ampeg Reverberocket. I loved it... but since I never got serious about playing, I decided to sell it. But that thing had GREAT sound.

And it looked like this:

Mmmm :| Everyone seems to agree. But ...
I would definitely call the clash 'punk'. I mean they're one of the first bands I think of when I hear that word. Although I do agree with you on some points. But generally all of their songs can basically be put into the category of punk music. I mean I fought the law and white riot? *insert ear orgasm

Yeah so I was just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on him.
Personally, I believe that he was murdered (after watching 'Kurt and Courtney' which I really do recommend. It's a great movie) But yeah I mean I just don't think that he would have committed suicide. Even though he was fairly depressed at the time. It's just that everything doesn't add up. But hey, That's just my opinion I guess (:

* By the way, I love Nirvana! <3

I've made tapes for my girl in the past and I've used up my favourite songs.  Mind posting some of your favourite love songs?  It'll help me get laid.

Goggle "live music venues" in each city and see who's playing, that would be a good start. Remember to add "garage" in your search, it will help narrow it down to rock and roll clubs.

I've never been to Chicago or Austin, but San Francisco has a great garage scene. Home of The Mummies, The Phantom Surfers, The Flakes, The Trashwomen, The LaTeenos, The Teutonics (via Germany), Larry & the Angriest Generation, Supercharger, The Ogres, The Del Lames, The Swiss Family Skiers, C'mon Everybody, etc.

Don't move to LA. LA's non-existant scene sucks.

You know that song that the Lyres and the Swingin' Neckbreakers did?  It was on the Sleazefest album.  Who wrote that/did it originally?  I'm doing a sequel to my "60 minutes of Shakin' Action" mix tape and that needs to go on there.

For some reason, I couldn't do it at the moment, and I don't know why.  Yes, I do know about the feature that allows you to correct your mistakes.
