Jay Reatard Videos

Here's an email that came in recently. Check out the video at the end, of Jay Reatard playing two songs. The music reminds me of X, the LA late 70s/early 80s punk band, and the vocals call to mind the 70s DC punkers Bad Brains. For more videos, visit the wefanscomingsoon YouTube channel.

December's Children

I heard from the London Garage Rockers, "December's Children" recently and went to check out their MySpace. This is a Great Garage Band! You'll recognize a Velvet Underground influence as you listen to their slightly sparse yet hauntingly strong tunes. Catchy melodies with good guitar work and vocals make this a band to watch. Go listen to the songs on MySpace - "Come Join Us" is my fave!

Hey man!

I've just discovered your podcasts and I think they are great!!! It's such
a shame it appears they stopped at the end of last year. [Ed.Note: New Podcast! See previous post!] I am from London, and I am the guitarist in a new Garage Rock Band called December's Children. We've very recently recorded a new E.P. for the group, and I'd really love you to hear it. I appreciate that you must be a very busy man, but I think you might like the way we are going. Your seal of approval would mean an awful lot to me!
Thanks a lot, Bill,

Lindsay

Hi.
I'm in a garage punk band called the Hussy out of Madison wisconsin.
We'd love to be on your blog.
Here's a bio and a link to some tunes. i can provide MP3's if you would like.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

The Hussy – Madicine, Wisconsin

2 piece, drums n guts—drunk-thunk stoopid sweet rock n' roll.

He (Bobby) sings, she (Heather) sings.

He plays guitar, she plays drums.

We like Cheap Time, the Catholic Boys, The Dead Boys, Jay Reatard, dogs, The Mystery Girls, The Wax Museums, horseshoes, The Stooges, Verbena, flinging shit.

Phoenixes be damned, we ain't rising out of no one's ashes.

We prefer a solid basement show to a parodied cock rock arena show.

We hate bands that play sets longer than 35 minutes. We don't even want to see our favorite bands play for more than 35 minutes.

We're not smarter than you, and we won't pretend we are.

We're not complicated, complex, complacent or commandeering, but we are combat ready and lookin for a good time.

We write songs about dogs, cars, words, and girlfriends that can't read.

We just finished a 9 song EP that was recorded by Kyle Motor (The Midwest Beat, the God Damns) and produced by Logan Kayne of the Midwest Beat. Recorded/mixed in 9 hours on 2 inch.

More Essential NEW Garage Rock

Here are more Great NEW Garage Rock songs that you will love if you love the OLD 1960s Garage Rock we have on www.GarageRockRadio.com. The list is in no particular order and I'll add to it in future posts. You can hear these songs on Little Steven's Underground Garage, Sirius 25. The list is in the form of

Artist - Song
and if it's available on Napster, then there's a (N) after the song. Napster sometimes makes a song unavailable after a while so the best thing to do is buy the song while you can!

Screaming Trees - All I Know (N)
Urges- Psych Ward (N)
