WATANG! - Miss Wong [2014]

Watang! Is a surf-instro project led by El Sentenza, former banjo player from the Legendary Kid Combo, together with Marla’O, guitar player from the all-female italian garage queens The Cleopatras. This project was born at the beginning of last summer ‘13, with the help of Barba San, from the Italian beat band The Albinos, Cecilia Ann, famous bass based indie-pendent songwriter and Mimmì, one of the best and eclectic jazz drummers of the Garda Lake area. The former idea was to create a standard surf combo, then after a couple of weeks in the basement, the project took a different shape, mixing the musical tastes of all the musicians involved. The original surf sound took a different direction, moving towards the surf revival of the 90’s, the garage beat revival, and the traditional Oriental melodies from the Far East area. All the imaginary and the artwork was inspired by the oriental Z movies, martial arts and fancied mysterious stories from ancient east. The band wear original Kung Fu kimonos and the (dragon) ladies are dressed like famous almond eyed movies star actresses. Main influences are bands like The Bomboras, Ghastly Ones, Satan’s Pilgrims, mixed with The Ventures, Takeshi Terauchi, The Fuzztones, Gravedigger V, Roky Erikson, The Pixies, The Cramps, Link Wray, Johnny Thunders, Dick Dale, Question Mark and the Mysterians... etc!


This first rate Italian Garage/Surf band comes with their own brand of wyld instrumental kink, mixed the influences of The Bomboras, Fuzztones, The Ventures & Dick Dale with bloody Far East vibes. Hi-Profilic Reverb/Fuzz/Organ driven tunes as ya all wanna meet here on Surfadelic. Their sound creates an CINEMATIC surf experience like it was made for some lost 70's Hong Kong KUNG-FU flick, alternative soundtrack for "Enter The Dragon" or some Takashi Miike  KILLER extravaganza. One of the best new surfin' stuff I heard lately, so don't you dare miss it! Say... WATANG!

THE CREATION were one of the best and the most important UK Mod groups from 60's. Produced by legendary Shel Talmy [The Who, The Kinks] their sound was similar to those of The Who but with their own brand of Pop/Psych kink. Their debut '67 album 'We Are Paintermen' was only released in Germany, Holland and Scandinavia. Pete Townshend was so impressed with the innovate guitar style of guitar slinger Eddie Phillips he asked him to join the Who as a second guitarist. You can hear his violin bow solo on Painter Man before Jimmy Page did the same. Edsel records comp."How Does It Feel To Feel" is the best collection of Creation recordings from '66-'68. THE MARK FOUR, pre-Creation group is presented here with Eva records '80 collection of singles '64-'66. A MUST for Mods all over the world. Biff Bang Pow!

THE THANES - Downbeat And Folked Up [2003]

The THANES have be around since 1987 and certainly belong to the very few really important bands of todays garage and beat scene. Hailing from Edinburgh, they have released tons of records on the coolest labels around, such as SUNDAZED, CORDUROY, MISTY LANE, LARSEN and DISTORTIONS to name but a few. The THANES of this ultra-modern age conjure up ever more new and always interesting twists and turns from their basic garage band vision. They are extending their collective antennae, reaching but further, sometimes bringing a new reaffirmation of a deeper folk-rock stance with evocative vocal harmonies and a jangling 12-string: to wit, there are covers by Bob Dylan, and The Beau Brummels, played out with true heart and soul. A few choice examples of the group..s mega-fixation with groups that existed in Holland thirty-odd years ago have also been selected for inclusion. One of the best is their interpretation of "I..m A Fool" originally performed by The Sandy Coast. Stomping and gyrating is also encouraged with original beat-style creations such as "It Can Never Be", "The Next One", and the furious buzz of the LP opener "That..s The Story Of Your Life". No other current band is able to combine all these musical elements of the sixties in such a perfect way. "Downbeat & folked up" is masterpiece of modern beat music and will not just take the hearts of all the sixties-devotees by storm. One hell of an album! [psychedeliccentral]

Edinburgh, Scotland 80's garage/beat legends 21st century BRILLIANT comeback slab. If you dig the fuzz, 60's folk-punk beat of The Squires, Byrds and stuff you shouldn't miss it. Great covers of Beau Brummels "Don't Talk To Strangers" and The Plymouth Rockers fuzz monster "Don't Say Why". One of those REAL COOL Garage Revival lps you must hear. You gotta get all Folked Up!

DISCIPLINA KICME - Ja Imam Sarene Oci [1985] Vinyl Rip!!!

DISCIPLINA KIČME is a rock band formed in 1981, in Belgrade, Serbia (ex-Yugoslavia). They were one of the two spin-offs of the seminal new wave band Šarlo Akrobata, musically best described as an aggresive and artistic rhythmic explosion experimenting and seeking out new expressivness. During next 10 years, various additions to basic bass+voice+drums line-up appeared (additional drummer, 2 drummers + 2 trumpeters, sax + trumpet). Band released 7 LPs on the domestic market, constantly toured the country and played festivals in Yugoslavia, Austria and Italy. [jugorockforever]


 "Maybe it is hard to understand 'em, but it is nice to look at and listen to them"


Well... Now it's time for some pretty EXTREME stuff here on Surfadelic. DISCIPLINA KICME [Discipline Of Spine]could be described as New Wave/Alternative/Post-Punk band, but it was actually minimalistic Drum'n'Bass/Punk/Funk Henrix influenced three piece HIGH ENERGY crew, one of it's kind. Their 2nd slab mini LP "Ja Imam Sarene Oci" [I Got Technicolor Eyes], a follow-up to legendary brutal debut album "Sviđa Mi Se Da Ti Ne Bude Prijatno" [I like to make you feel uncomfortable], add some innovations to their aggresive sound. Now you got to deal with heavy Bass, Drums and Trumpet. In a way, they could be described as Serbian precursors to Jon Spencer Blues Explosian. Anyway, it's a HEAVY BASS BLUES alright! Dig!!!

Certainly one of the most flamboyant New Orleans pianists in recent memory, James Carroll Booker III was a major influence on the local rhythm & blues scene in the '50s and '60s. Booker's training included classical instruction until age 12, by which time he had already begun to gain recognition as a blues and gospel organist on radio station WMRY every Sunday. By the time he was out of high school he had recorded on several occasions, including his own first release, "Doing the Hambone," in 1953. In 1960, he made the national charts with "Gonzo," an organ instrumental, and over the course of the next two decades played and recorded with artists as varied as Lloyd Price, Aretha Franklin, Ringo Starr, the Doobie Brothers, and B.B. King. [AMG]

To be honest, I don't dig his better known later stuff, but this collection of his early 60's instro tunes is kinda pretty cool. If you dig Booker T. & MG.s organ instros or early James Brown R&B, then this is for you. Funky Vinyl Rip by Surfadelic. Dig!

CALIFIA: The Songs Of Lee Hazlewood [2010]

A gold mine for the devoted followers of Lee Hazlewood, and a good set compiling chart-minded pop of all stripes, Califia: The Songs of Lee Hazlewood spans the mid-'50s breakthrough of pop/rock that Hazlewood helped spark with his Duane Eddy productions all the way to the early '70s -- a mere dozen years in chronology, but an epoch in popular music. Hazlewood was one of the first and best producers of the rock age, a man whose innovative sounds on Eddy brought a young Phil Spector to Arizona in the late '50s to learn at his feet. Fans of Lee Hazlewood have ensured that nearly all of his solo recordings have been reissued at least once, but his flood of songwriting and production for various labels and artists between the mid-'50s and early '70s has never been surveyed like this. Although his only number one hit is not included here (Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'"), the material is uniformly good. Granted, since Hazlewood was usually aiming for the charts with these productions (as opposed to his solo material), it leans toward the pedestrian, but for those who've spent a lot of time listening to pop music of the '60s, it's easy to hear how the innovative productions elevate these songs and performances above the mediocre and to a higher level. The emphasis is on the range of artists he produced, so associated acts like Nancy Sinatra, Sanford Clark (who recorded the only big hit here, 1956's "The Fool"), Duane Eddy, Suzi Jane Hokom, and the Shacklefords are given only two tracks each at the most, with more time accorded for one-shots from artists both famous (Ann-Margret, Dusty Springfield, B.B. King) and not so much (the Darlenes, the Wildcats, Don Cole, and studio-drummer extraordinaire Hal Blaine). [John Bush]

The Trashwomen were an all-women surf revival and garage punk band from the area of San Francisco that formed in 1991. Infatuated with the 60s Minneapolis surf-garage band The Trashmen, they developed their own fans, including The Donnas and The Spastics. The members were Tina Lucchesi (ex-Count Backwards), Danielle Pimm (also ex-Count Backwards) and Elka Zolot (formerly with Eight Ball Scratch). The group's first release was an EP of 1000 copies on the small, new independent label Hillsdale Record Company in 1992; it also was the label's first release. Tina Lucchesi and Danielle Pimm later were members of the garage supergroup The Bobbyteens (featuring Tina as singer), who inspired and helped start the career of their friends in the band The Donnas. [rateyourmusic.com]

Surf-rock hellcats howl at the moon. I can't think of an all-girl band who sound more psychotic than this. The lo-fi fidelity sounds blasted through a tin can and the music sounds straight from a garbage can. Half of these songs are covers of old surf instrumentals. The other half are snarling originals that blend in with the classics just fine and often feature the great grating vocal caterwaul of Elka Zolot. It's truly fun trash. If you like The Mummies, here's their girl counterpart.

Yep! Here are almost everything they recorded.

The Switzerland band Men From S.P.E.C.T.R.E. combines the best psychedelic groove with the funkiest 60’s spy-fi and the swingingest library music. The rough edges and instrumental action sound echoes the space-rock-bands and soundtracks of the 70s. The catchy beat of Drums, Congas and Bass join the wild Hammond organ and fuzzy Guitar to mash-up the scenes. Their influences cover Soundtracks, Hippies, 60s Beat, Mods, Rockers, Mockers, Library Music, Pill-Parties, 70s Rock music.

 
"The Living Eye" is the third record of the S.P.E.C.T.R.E.’s released on American label Hammondbeat Records. It is more indulgent, more psychedelic, and hits the beat harder than the previous records. Rather than trying to recreate the 60's mod sound, the men are now incorporating a more modern vision while staying true to the roots of the movement they further. Their songs are layered with multiple levels of sound, impeccable timing with sound effects that work with the music and don't stand out as cheap sonics, and the rhythms are both groovy and psychedelic at the same time. This album has good flow while each song is very polished and fluid in it's own right. No dead spots. [audiovisor]

Funky hammond grooves, space and psychedelic 60's to 70's rock, spy movie themes summed with FX sounds and hard beating drum breaks! For fans of Stereophonic Space Sound Unlimited, Dig!

CHICO ARNEZ - New Sounds Of [1972]

Chico Arnez, real name Jackie Davis, was a proponent of the Latin sound in England, having a BBC Radio show in the 60's and 70's and recording several albums. The liner notes say that he was convinced to record this collection of mostly covers because his public wanted a newer sound. He starts off with a swinging little Go-Go type number played by a big band called "Would I". The record is actually mostly loungey big band numbers such as One Note Samba, but Arnez does come through with some good covers like "Hawaii Five-O" with some open drums, a fast version of Fleetwood Mac’s "Oh Well" that sounds like it could be used in a TV cop show, and "Whole Lotta Love" with some more open drums. Cool covers of Bacharach tunes, spy-fi version of "Night Train", "Aquarius", Jobim's "One Note Samba"...

Some "New Sounds" here on Surfadelic. This Easy Listening classic was introduced to me by the GROOVIE tune called "Would I" which landed on supercool comp. TITTY-TWIST-A-GO-GO! alredy posted here. Well, I'm not an "Easy Listening Expert", but I can tell it's a Lounge slab "Par excellence". IfI were you, I Would dig this stuff... Would I ?!? Dig!!!
