I'll start...New Christs, God, BORED, Beast of Bourbon, Lime Spiders...

any combo that has James Baker in it....ie early Hoodoo Gurus, early Scientists, James Baker Experience and many other bands that i can't think of at the moment...

Speaking of Australia...

I've just found this; been for a wander through it and don't see a mention of either the Saints or Radio Birdman....?

 

Some good compilations (available in the UK, at least) - Do The Pop!, Tales From the Australian Underground 1976 - 1989, Can't Stop It! (Post-punk). Plenty Lime Spiders, Birdman, Scientists available too - also Where Are All The Single Girls? by the Eastern Dark.

 

D.

some of these might not strictly be garage, but they are all what i like.

Deisel Witch, The Amcats, The Systemaddicts, Mona Lisa Overdrive, The Molting Vultures, The Green Circles,

Exploding White Mice, Lizard Train, Garden Path, Mad Turks, Dust Collection, The Verge, Screaming Beleivers, 20 Second Sect, Acid Drops, Assassins, The Spikes, The Philisteins, The Dagoes

Machine Gun Kellys Rejects, Masters Apprentices, Blues Rags n Hollers, The Syssys, The Clefs

They were in the initial topic. Howabout individiual songs like By My Side by the Elois or Come On by the Atlantics. I've never had the chance tohear them but there's the Ugly Things comps from down under as well. Johnny Danger said:

The Lime Spiders !!!!

The Lime Spiders !!!!

No one has mentioned the Stems? Weird. They're definitely one of the best! You should also seek out: The Ooga Boogas, The Dirty Lovers, The Pink Fits, The Sailors, Shutdown 66, Onyas, Digger & the Pussycats, The Crusaders, The Booby Traps, Lords of Gravity, Cosmic Psychos, the Stoneage Hearts, Feedtime, and for '60s stuff, you can't beat the Missing Links (great collection on Half a Cow Records). I'd also recommend checking out the Eddy Current Suppression Ring. And pretty much anything on Dropkick or Off the Hip Records.

Los Hories from New Zealand are great, too.

Yeah... They're not from Aussie... Laurent van Bouvelen said:

D4 and Datsuns are kiwis too, no?

...surely most of the bands appearing on the "Murder Punk " comps, maybe also COSMIC PSYCHOS, ONYAS, SHUTDOWN 66, DIGGER & THE PUSSYCATS...well, I know we spoke 'bout
"GARAGE", but, but, but...

The M16's ;)

2 yr old thread.... bump... bands that ain't got a mention   The Exotics,  I Spit on Your Gravy, Foot and Mouth, The Fireballs, Seaweed Gorrillas,  Painters and Dockers, X, The Hard-Ons, Ratcat, The Hellmen, The Brady Bunch Lawnmower Massacre, Intoxica, The Corpse Grinders, The Shindiggers, The Shower Scene From Psycho, Reverb Mother Fucker, The Space Juniors, The Poppin' Momma's. .....  erm..I had me 15 beers already, maybe i comes back later and adds more shite,  Cheers

I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVY !!! I - I - I - I- I'M NOT YOUR STEPPIN' PIRAHNA ! PIRAHNA !! PIRAHNA !!

 

MISSING LINKS !! Oh , OK , they got name checked , Blue Stars (NZ) , Masters' Apprentices , OK , GOT THEM , TOO , Easybeats (Just because they had hits , they're still tuff.) , Ray Columbus and The Invaders , Ed Kuepper solo and The Aints , The Hitmen , and the Daddy of them all , Johnny O'Keefe !

Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs , how could I forget ! A lot of Americans don't know Thorpe was huge in Australia , going from Garage /R'N'B TO ACTUALLY DECENT BOOGIE ROCK to brief popularity in the states with effects - laden psuedo - Psychedelic FM Rock in the Late 70'S.

i could come up with some more , if I looked at some comps........Great songs, but the names escape me.

Since some of the bands up there are NOT garage......can I mention max Merritt and the Meteors and Jo Jo Zep & the FaLCONS (OF AGE??):):)

.....AND WHAT ABOUT sKYHOOKS??!!!!:):)
