!!! HIGH-OCTANE HIGHWAY GARAGE ROCK'N'ROLL !!!

Legendary KILLER debut Lp for this high-flyin' highway rockers. Formed in Pula, Croatia [ex Yugoslavia] in 1987. by Miro Kusacic [guitar, vocals], they played some kind of Highway Rock influenced by raw Blues/Punk/Garage with touch of Motorhead, Flamin Groovies, MC5, New York Dolls, Thin Lizzy... In the first part of their career they issued two great Lp's Foxxin' [1990] and Shake That Thing [1993] which gained a cult status over the years. Among furious originals there's cool covers of John Lee Hooker and Troups ''Route 66''. They are my all-time favorites and I put 'em up there with my Stooges, Dolls, Ramones, Mc5... records. 
Listen punks, if you want some real Highway Rock'n'Roll action, one hell of a ride, than sit on the B.S. and ... Bend Over, I'll Drive! Foxxin'

                                   THE SPOONS                                    

With new line-up [w/new singer Beli] they recorded their 3rd album Supervoxin'. The sound gets more sophisticated here but it feels as somethin' of their previous magic and edge were lost. Anyway here you got some fine originals like You Better Run, Kicks, Solar Machine and my fav. Mysterious Way. Also, as always, there are few covers of 60's garage classics like L.S.D., Strychnine and Love's legendary instro Emotions. Kicks!

Hi Surfadelic friends.
For me is a great honor to appear in this blog, which I believe is currently the most interesting of the web, for both the quality and the quantity of it's posts, so the daily visits is necessarily.
From my blog "Tommentón en la Cuadra", I started a few months an experience exchanges with other blogs, which has been very positive, so we must keep our blogs from become boring. Thanks to this I have made quite a lot of friends, and it showed that music is a splendid vehicle for communication and friendship among peoples and nations.
Here I present a collection in three volumes "Instrummentón en la Cuadra", full of mostly instrumental music of the 60's, but you will also find other epochs. Here are the classics along with small and unknown bands, all of great quality and with variety of styles. I hope you'll enjoy it.
And before leaving, thank "Mr. Eliminator" the opportunity to appear on your site, and also the compilation"Rough Around The Eddges" I post on my blog.
Farewell, and enjoy.
Jose Kortozirkuito

The Lords Of Altamont - The Altamont Sin [2008]

                    THE LORDS OF ALTAMONT                     


Boasting an authentic '60s rock lineage, Lords of Altamont singer Jake Cavaliere [ex The BOMBORAS] is the perfect guy to front a black leather speed and acid band like Lords of Altamont. The nephew of Rascals singer Felix Cavaliere, Jake “The Preacher” fronts the Lords like a high-energy cheerleader of sin, sinister and threatening on “Lightning Strikes” and beaten but unbowed on “Faded Black.” The music is pure NUGGETS, rocking hard like Blue Cheer or the Stooges. No one will accuse the Lords of too much originality, but they do their thing with the conviction of true believers. [AMG]

The Lords Of Altamont are masters of the raw power of 1960's punk. They crank out rock n' roll the way it was meant to be played: loud, fast, and out of control. Their 3rd full-length release finds them adding the legendary bass-player Michael Davis from the MC5 to the roster which fuels the band to a thicker raunchier sound. Chosen "Best Rock Band" by Little Stevens Underground Garage. Dig!

Stop! continues in The Chesterfield Kings' fantastic survey of all things '60s, This is the album where the band began to perform mostly originals, which are both more pop-oriented than the covers on the first Kings full-length and of higher musical quality, as the band progressed past the murkiness of '60s garage sloppiness. ...Visual sound STEREO, featuring hit garage revival single "She Told Me Lies".

Friday At The Hideout [Boss Detroit Garage 1964-67]

                      FRIDAY AT THEHIDEOUT                    


To most folks, the phrase Detroit rock & roll either means the high-energy overdrive of MC5, the Stooges, and the Amboy Dukes, or the no-nonsense working-class rock of Bob Seger and Mitch Ryder. But before those acts established themselves in the public eye, the Motor City already had a thriving garage rock scene in the early to mid-'60s, and one of the real movers and shakers in pre-psychedelic Detroit rock was Dave Leone, who ran The Hideout, Detroit's leading teen dance club, and later branched out with his own record label, Hideout Records. Friday at the Hideout collects 21 highlights (18 on LP) from the Hideout catalog, and while legal problems prevented the inclusion of any of the six sides a young Bob Seger cut for Leone (among them the anti-draft-dodging classic "The Ballad of the Yellow Beret"), this is still a top-shelf collection of quality Midwest stomp, and at least two other names destined for bigger things pop up. Teenaged Glen Frey played with two different Hideout acts, the Byrds-centric the Four of Us and moody popsters the Mushrooms, both of whom are in fine form here (the former do a great version of " "Feel a Whole Lot Better," while the latter score with "Burned"), and future glam goddess and Happy Days regular Suzi Quatro's early band, the Pleasure Seekers, are on hand with their near-legendary paean to the joys of teenage beer-swilling, "What a Way to Die." Elsewhere, you get some quality frat rock with attitude from Doug Brown and the Omens (including "Youth and Experience," perhaps the only great garage rock tune written to endorse a candidate for the U.S. Senate), some fine guitar mauling from the Henchmen (no relation to the similarly named Detroit band of the '90s), five cuts from scene stalwarts the Underdogs (including "Man in the Glass," whose lyrics are cribbed from the Alcoholics Anonymous big book, and a solid version of the title cut), and the Fugitives, whose gloriously low-tech version of "Friday at the Hideout" drips with teen-club ambience as they explore the possibilities of reverb. It ain't exactly Kick out the Jams, but Friday at the Hideout is nearly as much fun, and a must for anyone interested in the roots of Detroit rock. [AMG] Dig!






The Left Banke -There's Gonna Be A Storm [The Complete Recordings]

                              THE LEFT BANKE                               


This is the most definitive Left Banke compilation. It features the entirety of their two late-'60s albums, as well as a couple of singles that didn't make it onto LPs at the time (though they later appeared on Rhino's History) and a previously unissued cut, "Men Are Building Sand." Their debut 1967 LP, Walk Away Renee/Pretty Ballerina, is an underrated classic of the time, matching smart harmonies and pop hooks to baroque orchestration. Its brilliance casts a bit of a shadow over the rest of this collection. The group's 1968 album, Too, suffered from bloated production and, more importantly, the absence of chief songwriter/arranger Michael Brown. In turn, the 1967 single Brown cut under the Left Banke moniker with singer Bert Sommer suffers from the absence of lead vocalist Steve Martin. By the time Brown and Martin tenuously reunited for a late-1969 single, some of the spark had gone. [AMG]

A real nice psychedelic baroque pop I first heard on one of the Nuggets compilation Lp's dedicated to the 60's pop music. It was Left Banke's classic tune ''Pretty Balerina'' that caught my ear, a real pop nugget written by pianist Michael Brown for their '66 single which hit the charts on #15. Soon I found out there's  a lot more pop jewels up their sleeve and that this is A MUST! Dig!

                               THE MORLOCKS                                

A real crude and brutal 80's garage revival gang that emerged from garages of San Diego, California. Fronted by Leighton Koizumi [ex Gravedigger V] they recorded debut lp on Midnight records in December, 1984. It's a raw 60's garage influenced expedition [produced by Jordan Tarlow, later in The Fuzztones] into the rock'n'roll underworld. Their choice of covers are simple and crude 60's cult savagery as  By My Side [Eloise], Born Loser [Murphy & the Mob],  Judgement Day [The Esquires] and Project Blue [The Banshees]. Primal lo-fi stuff that pretty much asociate me on great Guitar Wolf. Emerge!
