"!!Destroy-Oh-Boy!! by the NEW BOMB TURKS. Bought it on vinyl after seeing their video (in connection with a Crypt special) on german music channel Viva (which is kind of unbelievable looking back now!) in 1995.

Well, I'd say you definately have good taste, and the more you stick around here, you'll find more of that sound!

I was in college before I got to listen to garage. Montana can be something of a cultural void. So working radio in Eugene I heard Thee Headcoatees, Billy's girl band with Holly Golightly. Then the Cramps, the Candysnatchers, April March (& the Makers), I still don't know shit and that's all I know for sure. I do love the sound though.

"Primitive" is a great song, and I'm curious if you like the Cramps' cover of it?

Just started workin in Perth Scotland when i was 17. A great wee independant shop now closed (like so many up here) 'Goldrush'. I found the 'Best of Pebbles vol 1' on Orange paint splattered vinyl. Loved Rudi's cover art and was hooked.The Groupies  'Primitive' still gives me goosebumps when i listen.

Yeah, the Nuggets boxed set brought me back face-first, which was a good thing since I wasn't really listening to garage anymore at the time. Garage rock 'n' roll really didn't exist here where I live due to a shitty radio market and lack of interest here. So yeah, Nuggets blew it all back open for me...thankfully!

gotta say it was Nuggets in my case, which a friend brought back from England transferred onto a tkt cassette, waaaay back.

Actually, everybody was just normal people then.  So no autographs, couple of articles about the bands and some gigs they did is about all.

Man, talk about some memories! So did you get lots of stuff autographed? And do you still have those items? Pictures maybe?

Grew up in the sixties in the av in CA in a biker club.  Uncle was a drummer jamming alot with a bunch of friends, The Hanleys and Terry Wimberly on keyboards and others.  What really set me on the music was watching Frank Zappa sit in on a late night session in the living room of one of the guys.  Terry played keyboards on a couple of albums for him.  Later met Captain Beefheart (through Terry), who was ecclectic in person as on the albums.  Very cool man and his mother was a sweetheart.  Came back to the music hardcore with the Cramps - Garbage Man.  BTW lovin' the new to me music and musicians all over this place.

i heard all the standards surfin bird,96 tears,too much to dream last night,etc...when i was like 9-10 helping my stepdad restore his 67 camaro...loved oldies and stuff when i was little.then as a teenage skateboarder it was like punk rock,clash 7 seconds,bad brains,cramps,crass,gun club,and hip hop like public enemy,nwa.still a skater in my 20s,tastes were more aggressive like poison idea,los crudos,nausea and so on...one day the bass player from this raging punk band i played in brought home the mummies play their own records and that was it..soon after new bomb turks destroy oh boy turned me on to so much other shit.soon after nerdiness ensued.have to say those two.although surfin bird would probably be the earliest.or the cramps.

'How to Make a Monster' by The Cramps.

...the seeds pushing too hard i meant!!!...more coffee needed!

the trashmen ,surfin bird back during my scooter boy days in the 80's along with liar,liar by the castaways.......mix that with the "biggie" the seeds...excuse,exuse & seeds......that was it for me........happy days!

"DEAD MAN" by the FREAKOUTS from Tacoma, WA.

I turned 4 in 1971 and I have to totally agree.

It was Good Golly Miss Molly By Credence Clearwater Revival when I was 4 in 1970.

That Nuggets set really set us on fire, didn't it! Hail Lenny Kaye!

I heard Thee Headcoats - "Heavens To Murgatroyd Even!" and the Rhino records CD box set release of "Nuggets" around the same time.

that was it for me.

I have no doubt that the Paisley Underground and cowpunk movement in So. Cal. would have had a better chance had it not been for the "Big Hair '80's" bands..

Excellent! I keep hoping they, The Morlocks, and some of the other bands from that era who are still together or reformed will make it to SF.  I think The Fleshtones were here about a year ago, but I found out about the show too late. 

The 80's were a groovy time to be in Southern California!  LA and San Diego had some amazing bands and there was so much enthusiasm for the music. People don't remember that aspect of the LA scene as much as they do "hair metal" or the bands that came out of The Scream, but it was just as vital a scene!

joey fuckup said:

Very cool! Yes, I'm a big fan also of the "Paisley Underground" as it was called in the '80's...And I'm a huge Fleshtones fan! Matter of fact, I'm going to see them this weekend!
Aldyth Beltane said:

I was a wee little tyke when I first saw Paul Revere and The Raiders and just thought they were the coolest thing in the world to my nascent rebellious soul. Don't remember which song exactly though, I'm sad to say. Was probably "Hungry." My love for the era was reborn many years later with the original Nuggets release, then running off to LA and encountering such bands as The Unclaimed, Redd Kross, etc.  And OMG yeah, The Fleshtones!  Love 'em to this very day!

I have Nuggets #1 & Children Of Nuggets burned (I'm a podcaster on a budget)...cool thing is I borrowed it from a serious music lover a few years ago, cool thing about that is he's now my boss!

midwesternskirt said:

no i don't have the nuggets lp... but i am pretty sure he still has it in his collection. at least i hope so :]  i have the box sets for 1 & 2 and then the children of nuggets box.  he didn't have any of the pebbles comps but i picked up some on cd in the used section at the record store where i used to work a few years back.

 

i love all the obvious 60s garage bands like the sonics, the remains, shadows of knight, mitch ryder and the detroit wheels... but i dig hearing more of the obscure ones.

joey fuckup said:

So do you have his Nuggets LP? And did he have any of the Pebbles compilations?

midwesternskirt said:

my dad had the first nuggets LP when i was growing up. it was love at first listen. then in later years when i started collecting LPs myself, i really got into the soledad brothers. that was when i hit my garage resurgence period and haven't really stopped listening to garage rock (and everything else really) since.
