the stooges,iggy and the stooges oh and the stooges.

hi from a scottish guy in spain! from my wee east coast village near edinburgh to the valley's and hills in valencia.. im playin the chob, bare facts, chambers brothers, precious few, zappa 73/74 tour! hawkwind pre77, slade pre71, national harvester, gong, donovan, rare meat, wailing wall, om, devil dogs, new bomb turks, mummies, nine pound hammer, gories, oblivians, iggy, ramones.. on and on.. i love the pre 71 psyche and garage, selected prog.. i like the german scene, also japanese, this all on near daily basis for 25 years m8.. i know there are lots, if u need a breakdown of why.. i'd be happy to let ya in! have cool cool days!

hhm.. just want a few opinions on bands and such so feel free to post.

I THINK THE FIRST CLASH LP WAS GARAGE! For me the live lp from MAGAZINE, called PLAY, in Australia, nothing like what we should be talking about here, but often overlooked as it was so uncool, then and now.. Dark and weird.. But for music, its beauty unearthed!

Lol, i teach English and Art in Valencia Spain, i play mix tapes all the time! The Spanish have a great garage background and love for the genre.. Before i arrived they had trip hop hip hop black hop er gangsta hop er drug hop white hop ahh hophop etc u know what i mean... Then they got some Gill Scott Heron, Poets and Prophets.. QUOTE ''Its not that new u know fellas'' etc.. Then the realized that this old stuff was pretty dangerous, in context of course.. So a wee jump to Garage, Psyche and some Mod, Freakbeat and selected Prog, Especially the new stuff, and post 90-s, Devil Dogs Gories Oblivians Teengenerate etc.. Also some stuff like early Nine Pound Hammer.. I don't waste my time on the non believers, if they haven't the intelligence to understand a muthafucka, then its their loss, they have Rhianna etc.. And to add, i saw them walking all in a line, not chatting, but texting each other... So what could 'the chob' do for these young fools? Let them do their own thing.. Its all relative lol.. I have my hifi installed in my Art class, so we can play at levels bad enough to make them sit up and hear the pounding bass and kickdrum,,,,, thats the secret!

Kopper said : "I pretty much stopped booking shows after I booked and organized a festival here in St. Louis called the Show-Me Blowout"

Tooooo bad Kopper, I would have loved to see some kind of "GARAGEPUNK.COM" festival someday somewhere !

But, once again, I'm just a stupid drunken dreamer...

"Testify" by the Isley Brothers - featuring a young Jimi Hendrix on guitar.

Yeeeesssss !!!
"Some a your sweet love" can't never fail !!!

maybe it's wrongheaded, but WAYNE COCHRAN always works for me.

I need to know.  What are some of your favorite dance floor fillers of the Soul variety?

thanks guys. that's awesome. ALL of those Crypt/Norton/unknown weirdo label albums are incredible. The ones I am seeking are not so much devoted to one particular sound of music(ala LAS VEGAS GRIND) but the ones that will mix trailers, novelty songs and savage rockers in one big mess of insanity.

soul preacher: psycho serenade is definitley one! never heard of "International Vicious Society" , thanks! (btw great show!)

kopper: all of those are monsters, total desert island shit. (btw-great show!!!)

btw anybody have a discograhy for Romulan?

I'd include the Sin Alley comps, too, by the way. The Desperate Rock'n'Roll comps are great, too. Oh, and It's Finking Time!

I've been hunting for the Big Itch Vol. 1 for years. If anyone has it (and can rip some high-quality MP3s of it), please let me know.

To all these great comps you could add "Cough syrup for Elvis Impersonators" released in 1989 on the BIG GAL label.
Do you include "Psycho Serenade" in the Wavy Gravy series ? It's great anyway !
"It's finking time" is a super cool one too but it's more 60's "garage" oriented.
You could try the "International Vicious Society" serie too,full of international weirdos'n'psychos, on the UNIVERSITY OF VICE record label.
In a more sleazy, Vegas grind style : "Swing for the crime" on the JAZZBO label.

Cheers !!!

That vid is way cool - I sure never seen it!

these guys aren't exactly NEW but it's year 2000+....

The Treble Spankers

i recently found out about them and freakin love 'em, great instrumentals

I kind of thought this was all PR. I may be way off base, but this just seemed like another hilarious KK moment. I hope I'm right, but may be sadly mistaken.

Not cool guys! All i can say is: WE WILL MISS YOU!!! You guys rocked me like i never rocked before

well there was this garage punk band back in 03' that wrote the song "i hope you die your har red" their called act2 scene3 http://www.myspace.com/act2scene3

yep! put that one in as well as Lux's scream at the start of 'Love Me', check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIm2y7UrJ8w

Psycho - The Sonics. Must be a contender for the best scream thread as well.

I'll start the ball rolling..... I don't Buy It by Ten Benson....

Another good one... Jessi Cerutti's scream on the Honkeys' instro-smash, "No Brakes"!

Jerry Rosalie's screams on 'Psycho' or Lux's bloodcurdler at the start of 'Love Me'. so many screamers to choose from

Personal and the Pizzas-Raw Pie: If the Stooges had New Jersey accents and sung about pizza and retards--it's that good! The must listen to record (cassette) of the year.

Thee Oh Sees-Warm Slime: Psychedelic garage rock. What I imagine a nuggets band would sound like in 2010.

Dead Farmers-Go Home: Band from Sydney, Australia. Thick sound with tons of wah-wah. Heavy like Blue Cheer.
