Back in 1983 Julian Cope wrote this IMO defining, if not definitive, short account of the Garage Rock genre for the NME: http://www.phinnweb.org/retro/garage/ar ... attic.html The beginning's a tad "Um, pardon me?", but it's a goldmine of well-informed info & opinion and the sampler-discography at the end is solid. Some of them were a lot harder to find on vinyl than the article implies: "Psychotic Moose & the Soul Searchers" was, if memory serves, a private Canadian pressing of only 30 copies! But a good many others got CD re-releases a few years back, and were much easier to find then. I'd also like to add "Songs The Cramps Taught Us" to the list. That appeared after Copey's article was written and is still available afaik. Also maybe the "Garage Punk Unknowns" series which I don't know much about myself, but I believe comes highly recommended too. Just Say "Yeah!"
I freaked out when I found out there were all these videos on you tube, some good stuff out there from a million years before I was born.... 13th floor elevators - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zJ2U_oo ... re=related Bad seeds - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yurT1bUo6rw Preachers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq8OTfjSg6k Black diamonds - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0aOQPZPKdw Purple hearts - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKZUuhL95uE Zakary Thaks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNryPWihmwI That Sonics video is rad Missy and the Monks on German TV is great! ...UK Renegades video is sick!
That Elevator's vid is the best thing on the whole you-tubes Count! (Though you're right, the Renegades video is awesome!) How about these? From the 1967 movie "Riot On Sunset Strip": The Standells - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJnqN20y8nI&NR=1 The Chocolate Watch Band - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpwEbozv ... re=related Also, this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUbnOFPud3M No, wait ... what?
Missy, this thread made me think of these guys, who don't quite fit the 60's garage band mold, but I think there is a definite influence of that sound in their early work (definitely an influence of something! ) Can - Halleluwah Can - Spoon Can - I'm Too Liese May not belong here, my apologies if not... sg
Stranglehold. Old rock and roll? Ha, ha... my brother-in-law Charlie H. singing lead and trying to look cool for the cameras... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGktdnrQZvU Oops! Maybe this should have gone in the Ted Nugent link.
Awesome thread! The Wailers - Out Of Our Tree http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-X8MgtOjgc The Sonics - He's Waiting (my favorite Sonics song) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPt4rON_Fyc&feature=related Not much to look at in these videos, just stills...sorry. The songs are killer, though.
This might not be an old video but it's still kinda cool, if you can get past the irritating camera person. Edina Minnesota's own The Novas playing The Crusher from a reunion a couple years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9ZYuuyFD-w
This a beneficial thread. Thanks everyone. Monks-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5iI0__9S1c Damn I love the Monks.
Can't mention Ted without mentioning this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN2VNFpiGWo Oops,My roomate heard me playing that. Sounds like Steve Farmer was a prick! I got schooled!
That's probably one of the few "nugent" songs that I really like (although there were a few others on the Amboy Dukes "Migration" album that are classic. Go go girls and stuff in that video are wild!
my favorite part of the 13th Floor Elevators video is how the band looks so much different than the pool party crowd...what an awesome song. My old pal I used to work with runs Get Hip records, I might have to hit him up for some CD's ! This thread rules, lots of great music
as an added bonus, the girls at Psych / garage gigs are often smoking hot, with the bangs and mod fashions...!
Where would we be without Roky?Or the Butthole Surfers for that matter? One of my favorites: You don't love me yet- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-PDOMFdwyU
Blue Cheer. The original power trio. One of my favorite bands from the '60s based just on the one album I owned by them, "outsideinside" (196. This was one of those where while listening to the music I would sit and try and figure out what all the little drawings of people having sex in bubbles on the cover were about, and the gatefold inside of the band in blurred motion in front of the biggest stacks of Marshall amps I had ever seen. I still love the music on this record (even if only for the memories). Check it. Here's a video of Summertime Blues, not my favorite Blue Cheer cut, but a pretty highly regarded cover of the song (top 15, 196: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU5uDozoSSM [What's the code to use here so that the url is represented by text to click on, like in Missy's first post?]
