Garage Links, 2006, part 2

Here's a bunch of links I got by email in the second half of last year. I don't think I answered many of these directly. But I wanted to pass them all on so that everyone can check them out. If you see something here that you sent me, and it either changed or you'd like it removed, email me at infoATgaragerockradio.com and I'll comply. As for sending me something for airplay, I'm not a DJ and I don't have a radio show, I just write about them. Try writing to Bill Kelly over at WFMU, they play all kinds of new music. As for uploading songs to GarageRockRadio, we don't accept songs for upload. We choose the songs on our MP3 list at our own discretion.

Okay, here are the links. I haven't been to all of them so I can't vouch for them. Click at your own risk!

I jam in a band called King Arthur’s Court with Sky Sunlight Saxon from The Seeds and Djin Aquarian of Yahowha 13. We noticed your grand website and initiative to promote the history and music of Garage Rock. We have recently released an album called A Honeymoon with God and Family and we would love for you to check out some of our licks. The album’s vibe ranges from mellow shamanic, mid-tempo spirit reggae, to extended psych jams highlighted with Sky’s prophetic verses recorded in the same spirit of the “spontaneous” method Father Yod & Yahowha 13 used to produce 65 albums in a 2 year period in the 70s.

If you dig our music, we’d be more than happy to send you a few songs for your pod cast or a news feature on your site. You can hear samples of our music on our under construction website: www.starpeacerecords.com or for better quality mp3s see Djin’s site: http://www.yhwhhouse.com/introset.htm (click on the “Music” link and then “Sky & Djin’s collection”)

We look forward to hearing from you soon. Keep up the good work!

Love & Harmonics,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Oct. 25, 2006

That's right folks - Big John Bates and the Voodoo
Dollz are back with a new CD and Tour!

After spending the summer working hard to get the new
CD "Take Your Medicine" released in North America, it
looks good for November in Canada through PHD
Distribution and Devil Sauce Recordings. The new CD
has gotten great reviews from major rock'n'roll and
punk media in Europe, where it was released by
Germany's Wolverine Records to coincide with a BJB
tour earlier this year. 'Take Your Medicine' contains
13 psycho/garage/blues tracks with a raw sound
captured by producer Todd Simko (Pure, Xavier Rudd).
It also breaks open some new sonic territory for the
band, building on the foundations started by their
earlier albums 'Flamethrower' and 'Mystiki'.

Big John Bates and the Voodoo Dollz just played
Vancouver with Los Straitjackets on their TWIST PARTY
tour (with the fabulous Pontani Sisters and guest
vocalist Kaiser George) and Sweet Soul Burlesque.
Happily that's not the last of this year's Vancouver
shows .... Big John Bates and the Voodoo Dollz will be
hosting their "It's Your Funeral" Halloween at the
Media Club on October 28 with Nim Vid and the Starboys
... AND a tour-opening show at Richard's on Richards
November 16 with Southern Culture on the Skids. Yes,
it's true, Vancouver's getting rocked hard this
fall.

The BJB tour will feature Voodoo Dollz favourites
Little Miss Risk (Sweet Soul Burlesque) and L'il
Luvroc (Taboo Revue) as well as debuting their new
drummer - JT Massacre (Real Mackenzies, JP5). The
tour crosses Western Canada to Winnipeg on Dec 1 and
follows the highways south through the American
Midwest until they are back on the coast on December
16.

We'll send out another email when the dates are
confirmed but until then, check out the website at
http://www.bigjohnbates.com and the BJB profile on
MySpace.
