Kyuss - Green machine ..not properly a garage band,but this song makes my seat trembling.

No video but if it's the Trashmen were good to go. I need to up The Trashmen at the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-- my gal and dusted off our Chicken Strut before hand. Had the floor to ourselves! If you can't handle the Bird --best to sit down.

Here's another good one. This reminds me a lot of The Equals.

It's working for me. Maybe the sound was turned down? Thanks everybody for all the great suggestions! Keep 'em coming. That's why I love this site. Mina a.k.a. psycho -a said:

Cool suggestions. I think the only Bobby Fuller song I really know is "I Fought The Law". I read something recently that said he was experimenting with LSD before he died. I'll have to check out some more of his stuff.
Here's a song that sounds powerpoppy to me yet isn't indebted to The Who. More influenced by The Byrds I would say.

Ok,the drummer is not properly keith moon.....

Check out the "Teen Jangler Blowout" compilation in the Crypt Records "Teenage Shutdown" series. It's amazing.

Davy Jones & The Lower Third- "You've Got a Habit of Leaving", "Can't Help Thinking About Me", etc.

Bobby Fuller.

To me "powerpop" always seemed like a great idea that most bands past the sixties can't execute very well. But even in the sixties it seems like I can find lots of garage bands with "power" but not so much "pop", or lots of pop bands with good hooks but lacking some good slashing powerchords here or there, or a feedback guitar break every once in a while. Does anyone have any overlooked suggestions?

This album won't be out for a while yet, but I've learned it's never too early to start the graphics!

I'm a big fan of Univox Superfuzz. Or some clone, like the Dice Works Dice-O-Matic.
Probably not the hard-hitting fuzz ever, but sounds excellent in the mix and it's super as a booster.
Just my 2 cents

I used to blip more often. Did one this morning. http://blip.fm/STEVETERRELL

Any more of you out there blippin'?

A version of this was published in The Santa Fe New Mexican February 26, 2010 Fred Cole, as he's told us himself, has "been screaming at the top of my lungs since 1965." That's from a song called "Poor Born" by Cole's lost lamented band Dead Moon, which broke up about four years ago after a roughly 20-year run that produced more than a dozen albums (mainly self-released on the band's own Tombstone Records label, though Sub Pop Records released a great double-disc retrospect compilation, Echoes of the Past, a few years ago). But don't spend too much time lamenting. Even though Dead Moon is gone, two-thirds of the band — Fred Cole and his bass player and wife of 40-plus years, Toody Cole — are back with another fine group, Pierced Arrows. The Arrows released an album called Straight to the Heart a couple of years ago on Tombstone. And now comes their sophomore effort — and it's no slump — Descending Shadows on Vice Records (also the home of The King Khan & BBQ Show, The Black Lips, and others among my recent favorites), which is a rocking triumph and a sweet jab in the eye to the idiotic notion that rock 'n' roll belongs exclusively to the young. Lollipops and witches: According to a recent online interview with Fred and Toody, as a mere teen in Las Vegas, in the mid-'60s, Fred played bass with Frank Sinatra Jr.'s band. Now that's paying dues. He also had a band called The Weeds. Some record-label munchkin thought that name was too close to The Seeds, so they renamed the group The Lollipop Shoppe. I've always believed this qualified Cole and company to be the best band with the crappiest name. Their intense, urgent-sounding hit "You Must Be a Witch", which can be found on the first Nuggets box set of '60s garage-band hits, brings a lot of images to a listener's head, none of which are of lollipops. After the Shoppe closed for business, Fred Cole persevered. He and the Mrs. opened a music store in the Portland area, raised a bunch of kids, and kept playing music. The birth of punk rock inspired a group called The Rats, which also featured Toody. And then, with drummer Andrew Loomis, came Dead Moon; its history is lovingly told in the documentary Unknown Passage: The Dead Moon Story (Netflix fans, you can find it there).

In that group, Fred didn't stray far from "You Must Be a Witch" (a song Dead Moon was known to sometimes include in its sets). His ragged, at times falsetto voice and fuzzy guitar were still out front. Rooted in the Nuggets era and invigorated by psychedelia and punk rock, Dead Moon played a timeless style of rock, comparable to that of Cole's contemporary Roky Erickson. And now, Pierced Arrows: I'm not sure why Dead Moon broke up. But at least Mr. and Mrs. Cole are still together. The good news for Dead Moon fans is that the new trio sounds like a continuation of Moon's basic guitar/bass/drums sound. I suppose hard-core followers could argue over which drummer is better, Loomis or new guy Kelly Halliburton (no relation to Dick Cheney), but I don't see a major difference. The important thing is there was no cheesy attempt to update or "modernize" the sound. And Fred is still writing some memorable songs. "Buried Alive" is a grungy stomper (this is probably an obscure reference, but the arrangement reminds me of L7's "Diet Pill") telling a story of "sinister science." Fred sings of a nightmare future where bio-electronic implants are used to "improve" people.

hello!

per your frequent ribbings, i've started uploading some stuff ; ) kopper said:

Great idea, but please share your favorites in the Videos section!

Have you looked into automata? Just a little for me but if people like Pat Metheny can interact with electronic controlled analog instruments and say it goes far beyond his expectations then-----it might be a new area for years of new shit. Were not speed metal here but I've seen 350 BPM with total control. Type in over at the tube, I like that saxophone and percussion is a natural. Any guitar player want to describe those necks and what appears to be a movable nut. Picking at standard position and another at the top. HEY get this, I went to get the link for you and I had a message from the guy!!! I left a thumbs up and he asked if I had any requests...... He's our chance to garage-punk-Haze-a-bot.

Damn, I've been trying to embed this Youtube for a few days but it's not working. So here's the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZFr2Fh66zs It's Jacques Brel singing "Amsterdam" (aka "The Port of Amsterdam") My favorite version actually was by Dave Van Ronk. It's working!

to TIRC-

laugh it up, buddy, but maybe i shoulda called the thread 'Is there anything I haven't heard yet?' just so bored folks like you participate in the thread and not ridicule it. hope you come up with something cool for us soon...

If we haven't heard it, how would we know that we haven't heard it? How could we post here about it? Pretty hard to discover something that's undiscovered, knowwhatamsayin?

ABSOLUTLY BRILLIANT ANSWER! Billy Childish - THE BEST!!!!! Sara said:

In my humble opinion, the best thing to do is learn the 5-tone blues scale and listen to a lot of Billy Childish....
