i'm tellin ya, a lot of the guys and gals on today's advertising boards are probably those who always loved this music. Even though it wasn't the Real Kids but a bunch of studio musicians, I still thought it was cool when I heard All Kindsa Girls on commercial TV.

Then ya got fuckers like the Boston Chinks, who are neither Chinks nor are they from Boston!

Sorry. I think it's kind of funny that the Gories was submitted by a person who's last name is White. John White said:

The Gories

You can add the Makers to this list as Michael and Donny are Asian-American. Actually I guess you can add the Mummies as well and Maz is of middle Eastern descent.

The Jewws?
The Dirtbombs?

The Gories

Let's not forget the multitude of Asian bands (or band members), too. There are also a lot of great Latin American bands & garage/punk music fans... Brazil, Argentina, Chile, etc. Here's another one: Davila 666

? and the Mysterians!

of course, and if yer talkin punk type things 'stead o garage or strictly 60s type o groups then we should also include Pure Hell

What about Death? The Bellrays?

Hi! that's a pretty interesting theme. There's a documentary about this phenomenon (it rather deals with US hardcore punk, but still...) called "Afro Punk": http://www.afropunk.com/. It's worth checking out. Cheers, Doc Sanchez

I think that was in 2000 or 2001. Never went to a Garage Shock show despite living in Washington mostly because a lot of the bands would also play in Seattle those same weekends. I don't think Estrus really EVER survived that warehouse fire despite having some distribution and mail service mostly because (and I'm not positive on this) a lot of Mono Men mastertapes were probably in that warehouse along with some other bands who made up the backbone of the label. Despite most of their stuff being limited editons, you could always find stuff every year between 1990 and 1997 since that first year, but after 1997, nothing ever got re-issued. It was always new stuff (and unfortunatly, it wasn't really stuff I liked). Jamie Christiansen said:

I went to a Garage Shock a few years back, I don't remember which number. It was at Emo's in Austin TX and it was a great time. The Von Zippers, Gasoline, The Immortal Lee County Killers (v1), The Cherry Valance, Fatal Flying Guillotines, that band that Mark Arm was/is in, think it's called The Monkeywrench...lots of other bands as well. It was a great time. All put on by Estrus Records (are they out of business now?)

Found out this band (Garage Shock) are named thus because they play covers of '90s Estrus bands. It's their schtick, so to speak. I invited them to check out the Hideout, too. And yeah, Estrus is no more. Still in business for mailorder, I believe, but not releasing anything new. I think the last two things Dave Crider put out were the "Death By Unga-Bunga" LP by the Mummies and a DT's record. Think that was in 2004 or 2005. Meanwhile, I still haven't found any Drags or Horrors live footage, but I'm sure some exists... somewhere. Jamie Christiansen said:

mmmmmmmm! I'm Scottish mate. We don't even have the decency to send out rubbish football teams coz we're more crap than the pommes, an cricket is'nt even a sport. Haggis wrestling! now theres a sport. The mood is light here in Scotchland, England. The sun does funny things to our usual blue skintone. Keep it punk and leave the politics to the English and they can fuck that up too.
