here's a good one for you ....

i dunno...i guess we have different ideas about what constitutes punk. THAT is the key word here - "garage PUNK hall of fame" not garage hall of fame - throw in that punk word & it's a whole other ball game. i know - can't have one without the other...i'm tired . out. Marko's Garage Gig said:

I agree, this discussion may have gone out. I wanted to point that out, but got a little soft on the approach. 60's Garage Punk, would you say is US based? I lean that way. Then came bands like The Stomachmouths and many others from all over the world following that glorious period of 1963-1967 in Garage Punk that I love.

i just want to add one more thing and then i'm done here- i thought this was garage PUNK hall of fame. these are all good/great artists, but some of them miss the mark. i love link wray, can't deny his contribution, but he's not garage PUNK. i mean, am i taking this too literally?

Looks like I'll be the first to add The Gruesomes to the many other solidly fab artists being listed.

I have a liking to so much music. Some is considered "Garage" to many. From the Dutch comes Q65, Outsiders, and The RO D YS (roadies), and Beat Music such as The Zipps were great! So much of America was close to Euro Freakbeat and British Beat and Mod music to go around.

But two bands set me off forever after a first listen in 1965 - The KInks and The Sonics. After that I was never the same.

20 years later I met and still know The Cynics. Still fantastic with the nucleus of Gregg and Michael. Some of their best friends has not been mentioned yet. The Sound Explosion from Greece, along with The Sick Rose stand tall in the Garage music history.

In 1989 I saw The Cynics one week, The Fluid the next week, then Thee Headcoats after that. I am still not the same since..Amazing shit!

Not all 100% Bonafide Garage, but they've all certainly made an impact on it...

Not Spanish, but in Spanish. They are a Peruvian band :)

Does Spanish Garage count? I would like to add Los Saicos, they rule!

"Do you care, but believe that your comments don't matter much?"

Yes. The shows get recorded, then aired~ we listen, dance, enjoy and preserve the better ones. Any music "suggestions" I'd have aren't likely to fit in a GaragePunk box. But- back to the question, this comment doesn't matter much.

maybe they don't have anything to say......

well, i listen to all the podcasts at work and REALLY dig them all .but most of the time there is no time to leave comments, or for my part to say that a job is well done, is really pointless, you know what you do(a great job that is!).I know that most of my friends in greece also listen to most of the podcasts, but we never leave a comment. i never thought it would be frustrating...sorry. but as a listener to podcasts, i was led to the hideout!
and now that i am thinking of it, i guess it would be nice to get all the moral support possible...

I've noticed the comments have been picking up lately, Michael. During my show I've been inviting listeners to comment on the main site as well as encouraging them to join the Hideout. I suggest we (GaragePunk Podcasters) should all devote a small amount of time on our shows to persuade our listeners to give us some more feedback. But as I said, I have noticed more feedback lately.

I CARE!!!!!! I listen to the show religiously (since i dont believe in jeez-us) I love your show and your voice and all the badass tunes you spin that help me discover cool shit i would have never known about otherwise!! Maybe people are just busy. But i say unto you, dont go on feedback or comments alone, for those are only for those who have the time or gall! there are plenty of silent listeners im sure of it. for that is what listeners are best at....listening. so what does that make me??? I have no fuckin clue...all i know is i love your show and it makes me crazy!!! (the good kind)

From Japan, the Surf Coasters (guitarist can do Dick Dale like nobody's business) and the Whys (love the grass skirts).
From South of the Border, Sr. Bikini and Los Elaticos. (Side note: What's with South American Surf bands and Luchadore masks? Is there a reason? Am I missing a cultural connection?)
From the US: the Sir Finks, Satan's Pilgrims and the Volcanos.

Special plug to my hometown faves the Diamondheads and the Atomic Mosquitos!!!

AND, while they are NOT a surf guitar band, Southern Culture on the Skids always includes an original instrumental number on albums and shows that never fails to please.

thanks Mike, I did go through those episodes which was great coz I'd missed some of the early shows, but 'wolfman boogie' isnt the track I was looking for, I seem to remember (although this might be wrong) that it was a link wray tune with wolfman jack over the top, i'll keep looking/downloading, might have been on one cup o coffee....cheers tho Michael Kaiser said:

Are you talking about Wolfman Boogie Pt.II by Wolfman Jack & the Wolf Pack?

I played that on some episode of RadiOblivion. Don't know which one; I'm kinda dodgy about playlists. Not ever sure of what I have played exactly... That track would be somewhere on episodes 9 - 15. I have no idea what I played betwixt 5 and 15. Really need to go through those and write 'em down.

But, I digress. If that is the song yer looking for, it's available on the "Mondo Frat Dance A Go Go" disc on Arf Arf. Or, you can re-listen to all the RadiOblivion episodes; you probably should anyway.

Hope that helps.

i think it must be the crusher and the band is the novas....

Hey does anyone remember an instrumental track possibly played by link wray and featuring wofman jack, played on one of these podcasts...oh a year or two ago? I play that one on my guitar, but can't find the podcast anywhere...think it was on 'flying saucer rock n roll'.......anyone help? Ta.

I got a guy here in Auckland, New Zealand to build me a Maestro clone. He made a cross between the 1st and 2nd versions. It runs on 3volts dc which is weird but that's what they originally came out running on, 2 AA batteries. It sounds like the Fuzz from 'Satisfaction' but you can dial a bit more in if you want and get a really crazy sound out of it. The only other fuzz I'm after is a Mosrite Fuzzbrite, I have played the clone copies of them but really wanna hear an original one. What I really wanna know is what fuzz the Sonics used? or was it just the amps?

Gotta admit, I never heard of the Town Hall Party Stuff... Checking it out on youtube... Cool shit! Definitly pick that stuff up! I got Charlie Feathers demos comin out my wazoo, but I'll probly pick up them new norton discs at some point, theirs a few I ain't got on 'em... Yeah, the Johhny Burnette wampus cat/crazy date stuffs fantastic!

Dee Generate; Tory Crimes; Pat Smear; shit, there's thousands!!!!

Rat Scabies!
