I just saw this; http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/musicnightlife/2009342986_bogleobit16.html Another great gone! SAD

For immediate release: After years of empty threats, Thee Crucials have finally released their debut CD, Give Me...a Keg...of Beer! Claiming the influence of fellow Georgian Little Richard's gospel-gone-wrong stunners, Link Wray's juvenile delinquent symphonies to moonshine, as well as the frat-damaged lineage connecting The Sonics and The Mummies, Thee Crucials' coming out party is a celebration of the "Papa Oom Mow Mow"-spirit that informed rock 'n' roll's formative years. In an attempt to capture the chaos of their live show, the band recorded the album live in a whirlwind 12 hour session, resulting in a potent pimples-and-all mixture of garagepunk stompers, r&b workouts, and trashy fun-in-the-sun instros! Buy now and become the life of the party! You can buy directly from us (12 bucks, postage-paid for U.S. orders). Contact us at theecrucials@gmail.com. For international orders, just shoot us an email and we'll work it out. www.myspace.com/theecrucials

has anyone tried a bullhorn and a coffee can? steve schmitt said:

for authentic garage fuzz, attach a paperclip (loosely) to string(s) near the bridge.

Well....for what it's worth - I used split my signal and run two amps (an Ampeg B50R and B100R). I'd run direct to the B100R and thru a Sovtek Big Muff (regular, not bass) to the B50R. I'd keep the level lower on the B50R and crank the volume on the Big Muff.....so, clean, the majority of the volume was from the B100R, but both were running clean. Then when stepping on the pedal, the fuzz would kick in nice & loud, but the same volume level of clean bass was coming from the B100R. I used these 2 amps eventually because they're fairley inexpensive, light, have a small footprint and you can stack 'em. To begin with, I used the same idea only used an Ampeg V4B thru a 2 15" Kustom cab for the clean and a Marshall 100 watt Lead thru a 4 12" cab for the fuzz.......sounded fucking great, but too much shit to haul around. Anyway, that's how I got the "screwdriver thru the skull" sound.

UPDATE TIME:

So after all this discussin' I went with my wild hare and tapped a friend into buildin' me a bass fuzz pedal from scratch!

Haven't got it yet but he promises a sound between a Mosrite Fuzzrite and a Big Muff (esp. EQ'd fer bass 'natch)

Will report back once I get a chance to test drive the sucker...thanx again fer all the help and info, gang...

Gotta say that I was a huge blip.fm fan until recent...they fuckin' jumped the shark when they added youtube videos that almost never play correctly on the blip.fm site ...I get all excited to see a new tune listed only to discover it's a fuckin' amateur video collage with some kid playin' the song on his bango....fuck that.

...course I ain't givin' up completely on blip.fm...just gonna be real vigilant, ya dig?

hey Miss Bee, i'm there some of the time - there's stuff there but ya gotsta dig deep... head on over there! http://blip.fm/ixnayray

I don't know much about this blip.fm thing, but I use last.fm if here anybody uses that.

Hey there MissBee. Come on over and play with us on blip.fm. Some days we really have a blast!! http://blip.fm/marthalyle

Hhhaha, sounds quite like a bit of rubbish. Thanks for the look into it! The screamin' Soul Preacher said:

Well...about the content of the book : reading this, ok you'll find pages about great bands as The Sonics, The Count 5 and so on...but you'll also find some about The Moody Blues (aaargh), The Bee Gees (bluurgh), Procol Harum (beaaargh), Cat Stevens (please stop this, I ain't nothing left to spew up !!!)...Let's just say this is not exactly what I call garage bands...
...About the man, let's say that the little I know about him ( some kinda mod listening to Barbara McNair in his nice looking apartment with framed James Bond ost on the walls and writing for crappy magazines ) makes me quite sick...

By the way, why am I writing about this ???
Sorry, I'm going back with the dead right now...
Cheers !!!

TEX: No prob guys, sounds like there is some cheese stuck to this.

SSP: Hhahaha, he such a bad dude or what? Or just his lookout on the music?? I haven't read anything by this guy or heard of him before - spill the beans!

Well...just a few words about this : I hate the man who wrote that book !

Cheers !!!

Been listening to "I'm Your Man" by the Voidoids on a loop lately. No clue why...damn good song though.

Wipeout!, I totally know what you're saying about "Summertime Blues"...it's a shame too, because I love it so much.

Sweet, I'll check it out. Oh man I wish I could get to Memphis for that show.

Feelin Lucky, great band! Alex is correct, got myself a new gig now and it's called Cheap Thrills. Right here on garagepunk.com. I hope you'll give it a chance lads. Just kicked it off last month and should have a new one ready to go after my trip to Memphis to see the almighty Oblivians and the Gories.

Cheap Thrills. Katastrophe's new show.

T'was my fav, but now it's gone.

from the great beyond, they GOT the AIRWAVES....

Rock In Peace!
