Re: Motherfuckin' Surf/Garage/Psych Awesome Thread Full of Great

 

Thanks for reminding me about the yardbirds, been trying to find this song for a while. My favorite one from the DVD on them i think

The intelligence, mentioned above, is a pretty awesome band, from Seattle. I have a bunch of their stuff but i can;t find much online.

i dont know who wrote it but i do know the kingsmen got screwed out of tens of millions of dollars on some bad contract

 

Richard Berry wrote it. There was a lot of controversy about the song since no one really knew what it was about. The government even launched an investigation into the whole thing. It's pretty ridiculous.

The Sleaze - Smokin' Fuckin' Cigs

Moronic, snotty garage punk from Minneapolis. The singer has what might be the most obnoxious voice ever, and there is a one note solo, but the A side is still retardedly catchy and gets stuck in my head for days. Its so obnoxious and basic that it's great. The Bside track is kinda weird.

 

 

 

this is a current mpls band yes? i just remember seeing a group called The Sleaze open for hmmm maybe it was Vivian Girls, over the summer. if this is the Sleaze i am thinking about, i think i go to school with the drummer.

 

 

random post.

Yeah, they're a current band.

 

If you get a chance you should definitely try to check out a Retainers and/or Sinks show. Drunken, drug induced good times. I think Sinks are touring until mid January though, so neither will be playing any local shows until after that.

Bump. Great thread.

 

If you're into more punkish stuff, i definitely recommend you all at least grab the Retainers LP i posted. So good. The others are awesome as well, but the Retainers are a good starting point if you're not usually into the punk side of garage. So lo-fi, tons of great riffs, awesome solos, great for drinking to, and they put on one of the best shows i've seen.

 

Edit: to clarify, i posted the records on the first page. Or second, i don't know. I still use 40 posts per page.
