Garage Rock Radio podcast 11 doing well!

It's been just one week since the latest Garage Rock Radio podcast, number 11, hit the interwebs. We're happy to report that listens on Mixcloud are going well! Almost 200 listens so far and a lot of new "followers".

I'm listening to the podcast right now! I think this one is a good mix of 60s Garage Rock in all its lo-fi glory, new high quality Garage / Indie Rock tunes, and fuzzy Gothic Psychedelic 60s tunes with some extended guitar solos. Included in the Psychedelic portion of the show is a very early recording by The Grateful Dead, right after they changed from The Warlocks! That is followed by a trippy dirge with spacey guitar during the verses followed by piercing fuzz riffs during the TWO extended guitar breaks! Lyrics to "Song of a Sinner" which the vocalist is singing to God:

... And yet, I ask to be forgiven, knowing the life that I've been living.
And yes, I know its too late, oh. 'Cuz on your judgement day you're gonna close your gate, on me. On me? On me! And I'll be left here on my own, to face Hell all alone.

Heavy, maaaaan!

Look, I like Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Rihanna and Adele as much as the next person - but sometimes you gotta try something new and COMPLETELY Different!

Will YOU have a listen?

Garage Rock Radio Podcast 11 - Garage Rock and Acid Rock Psychedelic Songs from the 60s and today! by Garagerockradiorecords on Mixcloud

The Morning Dew

Great Original Garage Tock Band from the 60s!
From their website, http://www.morningdewband.com/MD/:

The Morning Dew was a very successful rock band from Topeka, Kansas during the 1966 to 1971. The band toured through-out the Mid-West and was one of the hottest psychedelic bands of the era.

Have a listen to a GREAT Garage Rock song, "No More" by The Morning Dew, recorded in April 1967. Gotta love the Scream and the awesome fuzz guitar solo at 1:22



Now go to this link:
http://www.morningdewband.com/MD/index.php?option=com_seyret&Itemid=61&task=videodirectlink&id=9
and watch the same original members play the same song but in 2010! It's excellent!

From their site:

A 2010 live video recording of The Morning Dew's hit No More at the Kansas Music Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony - Liberty Hall, Lawrence, KS on March 6, 2010. The original artists for No More were Mal Robinson, Don "Tommy" Sligar, Don "Andy" Anderson, and Don "Shuf" Shufford.

Back to the 60's...

In August 1969 the band recorded an album in New York City. This very cool psychedelic double track is from that effort. It is "Epic the Mann / Death is a Dream" - check it out!

Garage Rock Radio Theme - Video!

We have just released our first video on our GarageRockRadio YouTube channel. It is for the Garage Rock Radio Theme song, sung by Lyndsey Price. This song is a great example of Garage Rock - raw 1960s punk pop featuring fuzzy guitars, pounding drums, pulsating organs, pumping basslines and snearing vocals with background harmonies.

Garage Rock Radio Records - Press Release

Garage Rock Radio Records Releases Albums for Fans of 1960s Rock Music

Garage Rock Radio Records has recently released music on iTunes, Amazon.com and other online music stores which will appeal to fans of 1960s bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Who, the Doors, the Monkees, Iron Butterfly and similar Rock groups. 1960s style Garage, Pop, Punk and Psychedelic music, with its pounding drums, fuzz guitars, swirling organs and gritty vocals and harmonies are alive and well in the new millennium. Listen to these good time tunes and relive the golden age of Rock.

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) June 30, 2009 -- Garage Rock Radio Records (http://www.garagerockradiorecords.com/) announces the release of albums by its first three signed bands; this music will appeal to fans of 1960s Rock, Pop and Psychedelic music. The music is available to buy and download at iTunes, Amazon.com and other online stores. Buyers can download individual tracks or purchase and download an entire album at a discount.
Garage Rock Radio Records (GRRR) is a new record label that distributes music inspired by 1960s Garage, Pop, Punk and Psychedelic bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, the Who, the Doors, the Monkees, Beach Boys, Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly and similar Rock groups. GRRR brings 1960s style Garage, Pop, Punk and Psychedelic music, with its pounding drums, fuzz guitars, swirling organs and gritty vocals and harmonies, into the present day music scene. (What’s Garage? www.garagerockradio.com/whatsgarage.htm)

Bill Kline, owner of Garage Rock Radio Records, has always been a fan of 1960s music and was thrilled to discover that thousands of small bands with regional hits were being unearthed in the 70s. "When the famous ‘Nuggets’ album was released, I was familiar with the Electric Prunes, Seeds, Castaways, and 13th Floor Elevators but it was great to become aware of other groups like the Leaves, Chocolate Watchband and Nazz, making powerful songs, all hoping to be the next ‘Beatles‘" said Kline. He then became a collector of compilation albums such as the Pebbles series, which continued to bring obscure 1960s Garage songs back from the dead.

Many fans of Garage Rock went on to start their own bands that played Garage cover songs and original tunes inspired by the original 1960s Garage bands. Among the most famous are the Chesterfield Kings, Fuzztones and McFadden’s Parachute. All of these bands have genuine 1960s rock sounds, and all were getting airplay on free form radio stations like WFMU near New York City. Kline was working on a website for fans of Garage Rock - http://www.garagerockradio.com/, and decided to approach the leader of McFadden’s Parachute about distributing his music online. A deal was reached and 15 songs were selected from the catalogue of over a dozen CDs put out over the last several decades by McFadden’s Parachute, to create the album - McFadden’s Parachute, Greatest Hits, Volume 1 - now available on Garage Rock Radio Records.

Relatively new on the Garage Rock scene is Lyndsey Price, a singer with a powerful and passionate voice with a bit of punk attitude for good measure. Price has also produced songs on the GRRR label, including the "Dark, Dirty & Anonymous" album and the new single, "David and the Goliaths Theme" about the movement to get a Garage Rock exhibit in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Also on the label is Kline’s own one-man band, Thee Lightning. The album, "Quests and Adventures" contains Garage Rock influenced instrumentals which are perfect for use as bumper music and background tracks for videos and commercials.

For additional information on Garage Rock Radio Records and its artists and releases, or for free downloads for you to review, contact Bill Kline or visit www.GarageRockRadioRecords.com. Albums and individual songs available to buy and download from iTunes, Amazon.com, Napster.com, Rhapsody.com and other fine online stores.

http://www.garagerockradiorecords.com/DavidAndGoliathPromo.mp3

Here are the lyrics:

Fireworks in Cleveland
For music that is ours
We started up a movement
More mighty than the stars
The music from garages and
Explosions from guitars
Is heard around the world today
It’s global and it’s ours.
David and Goliath is the word.

A 3 piece suit might hold some weight
But we refuse to tolerate
Your blocking our exhibit from the Hall of Fame
No one said you own the place
No one said you own your space
Stop blockin rockin music history.
David and Goliath is the word.

You bring shame to the hall of fame
You bring shame to the hall of fame
Garage rock it is here to stay
Garage rock it ain’t going away
Garage rock it is here to stay
Garage rock it ain’t going away

Feel the heel of my boot
It’s up against your 3 piece suit
We will write the final chapter
For the generations after
David and Goliath is our name
David and Goliath is our name
Repeat and fade………….
BREAK WITH GUITAR

Repeat verse “Feel the heel of my boot”

Then “David and Goliath is our name”
Repeat and fade out

60s Garage at the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame

There is a movement to get the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to create an exhibit for 60s Garage Rock. You'll want to learn more about this! Please visit the David and Goliaths Project MySpace page to learn about, and become involved in the movement!

Here is an essay written by our good friend Lynne (Lyndsey) Price, about Garage Rock, in support of the exhibit at the RnR Hall of Fame. Enjoy!


The advent of 60's Garage and the role it played in the lives of teenagers.

Before the 1950's and Elvis Presley, one thing was certain. There was no such creature as a "teenager". Children stayed in school or dropped out and went into the army. Women got married and set up family life.

After World War II, a president named Franklin Delano Roosevelt set up the G.I. Bill, enabling returning soldiers to go to college, get a decent education and earn their share of the American Dream. A man named Mr. Levitt established a development of 3 bedroom homes in Long Island. These homes would have garages and basements were now called recreation rooms. Levittown became a symbol of what was to be the "new emerging Middle Class". Children of this era enjoyed beautiful toys with outer space themes, Barbie Dolls, A large Doll called Patty Playpal and TV shows like Bozo the Clown, The Little Rascals, and in the Midwest, the Mulcane's and Kiddy-A -Go-Go. When people became putting away their toys, they picked up musical instruments. A Farisa Organ with a slight horror movie sound, loud drums, and best of all, guitars went electric. Plug them in and BOOM - loud, raunchy, and scratchy. Rehearsals took place in garages and parties in the rec rooms. You now had your block party band, your church picnic band and school lunchtime band to keep kids out of trouble. This era was a relatively good one, with drive in theatres, an ice cream palour named Carvel's that had a space age design on their buildings as well as their treats. The local drugstore was now a place to hangout - eat banana splits and read comic books, not to mention socialize. A teenager was considered too young to marry and was expected to get the same education that their father had and do even better financially. The future had hope. 1960's Garage actually spans from about 1959-1971 and includes the following genres: Psychedelic, R & B, Motown, DooWop, British Invasion,Blues and emphasized boy- girl relationships with the notion that "someday" we will marry. A girl was expected to stay chaste and women's lib was unheard of. In terms of music, there was a lot of radio, "sock hops", shows at the beach, amusement parks, and theatres. Dancing was at it's peak. Candy bars at the local supermarket were large and nonfat was unheard of. It was an era of pleasure. Jockeys and radio stations:
From New York: MurraytheK (Murray Kaufman) from 1010 WINS, NY
From New York: WMCA Good Guys - one being Dan Ingram
From New York: WABC with Cousin Bruce Morrow - or Cousin Brucie
All over Jockeys were spreading the great music that was now being played on the Ed Sullivan Show, and Rock and Roll shows were coming up from all over. American Bandstand - with Dick Clark - would be the #1 Statue of Dedication to the new generation called "teenagers" who, after school, went there to dance in Philadelphia and eventually California or New York. A great show called "Soul Train" - the Motown version of American Bandstand, had a fantastic station at the end of the dial called WBLS. It was one heck of an era.

And this could be one heck of an exhibit. You would have people coming in from all over. It's something good that many, many Garage Rock fans and acts would love to have and somehow contribute to. The advent of 1960's Garage has once again circled the globe. There must be a reason.

The hundreds of groups and fans in the USA alone, not to mention around the world, would be very happy knowing this exhibit is bringing back "Happy Days". We need "Happy Days". Please consider then why this era is returning.

Thank you!
Lynne C. Price

The Tangerees

This was in my email Inbox the other day:

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Hello! I play in a garagerock band called The Tangerees.  We live in uddevalla/Sweden and we would like you to listen to us and say if you like us or anything. We dig your work and the bands y'all worked with so if you just wanted to listen to our musik that would be great. If you got any interest we can send you a tape/cd or our myspace:
www.myspace.com/thetangerees, where we got some of our songs.

-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

I did go to their MySpace page. They have 6 songs posted, all very cool Garage Rockers tinged with The Blues. Their use of keyboards/organ produces an authentic '60s sound. The production is good and the vocals are strong. Song 1, "I Feel Alright," starts off slow but then raves up into high energy. Song 5, "Pass Me By," is the most Garage-y track and is my favorite.

Be sure to check out The Tangerees, Garage Rockers from Sweden!

Here's the email:

Dear Bill,

Hi, I'm Bob Fritzen, lead singer/songwriter of "The Quests." Still proud of the fact that "Scream Loud" was the lead off song of your 1'st podcast. Due to that honor, and other good vibes from old and new fans, we have recorded a new CD, RE-QUESTED: BACK TO THE GARAGE" which contain our old hits, previously unreleased songs recorded in the '60s, and five new '60s style songs written/recorded by the original members in 2007.

Wanted to let you know that we have also opened a website http://www.questsrock.com/ where these can be sampled and purchased. If you could list our URL after our name The Quests http://www.questsrock.com/, it would be greatly appreciated. Garagerockradio.com was one of the the most important site listed on our links.

1960s Garage Rock Lyrics - Podcast 1

Have you heard our very first podcast? It featured four great 1960s Garage Rock songs that you don't hear very often today, if at all! I would invite some of today's bands to cover these great tunes. To help the cause, I'll list the lyrics to the songs on our first podcast, as I hear them.



Scream Loud - The Quests (Visit their website)

If you really want me, yeah, scream loud, scream loud.

Or I won't hear you, I'll
never know you're there, I'll
never realize that you may
really care
and so, I'll say to you...

If you really want me, yeah, scream loud, scream loud.

For the words that you say may not
come into my heart
I'll never know if we should
really part
and so before I go...

If you really want me, yeah, scream loud, scream loud.

[Guitar Break]

Cuz if you really want me,
tell the world you do!
I want them all to know our
love can be true!
And so before I go...

If you really want me, yeah, scream loud, scream loud.

Or I won't hear you,
I'll never know you're there,
I'll never realize that you may
really care
and so, I'll say to you...

If you really want me, yeah, scream loud, scream loud.



I Want you - Toni & Terri

Hey hey hey girl, take a look at me.
It's really hard I know, since you never saw me before.
You know what I want, I want you!

That don't matter none when you're young.
What do you expect me to do?
Get up and walk out with you?
You know what I want, I want you!

Maybe you oughta walk away!
Why should I go, why cant I stay, no matter what the people say?
Maybe you oughta walk away!
Why let em live your life for you, come on and do what you wanna do with me!

[harmonia break]

Hey hey hey girl, you better start livin', yeah.
Its time you had some thoughts of your own.
Life's too short, the red tape's too long.

You dont have to be like everybody else, no.
I never met anyone like you.
And I'm tired of doin' everything other people do.
You know what I want babe, I want you!

I'm glad I listened to what you said.
Why should I go, why cant I stay, no matter what the people say?
I'm glad I listened to what you said.
Why let em live your life for you, come on and do what you wanna do with me!

I want you!!!!
Oh, I need you!
I want you!!!!
And I love you too!
I want you!!!!
And I'll be with you!
I want you!!!!
Oh, I want you!


Some Day - The Resumes

Hey girl I wanna talk to you,
I've got somethin' to say.
I'm gonna be leavin' you,
I may be back someday.

I'll do what I wanna do,
I'll find a way,
to keep on lovin' you
as I do today, as I do today, today, today!

I've got to keep moving on,
don't ask me where.
I'm travellin' all alone,
you must beware.
Lord no, I gotta be gone,
don't really care.
I'll stop in one o' those towns
where there's time to spare, there's time to spare, to spare, to spare! aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!

[Extremely Cool Fuzz Guitar Break]

I've cheated, I've run around,
Lookin' for some pay.
I haven't any friends in town,
so I'll be on my way, my way, my way!

I'll stay in a cheap hotel,
and earn my pay.
And when I'll pay my bill,
I'll be on my way.

All of that will pay my friend,
If I found a way.
Divert the spell my friend,
So I'll get right someday, someday, someday!


Painted Air - The Remaining Few

Here I lie on my deathbed,
Recalling things said,
As my world slips away.

A man stands over me,
one final plea,
though I disagree.

Cars,
daytime and light,
running red light.
Other drivers won't yield.

People stand without sound,
tears touch the ground,
and soon dry away.

GarageRockRadio Theme Song!

Hello, Garage Rockers!

I was recently sent a GarageRockRadio Theme Song recorded by my good friend Lyn from New York. I'll use it in my upcoming Fifth GarageRock Podcast, coming soon! If you want to hear this cool theme song now, just click here.

Lyrics:

The Radio's rocking all day long (all day, all day long)
the best in music, I hear it all (I can hear it all)
Garage Bill plays the rock n roll (rock and roll)
that spins the disk inside your soul (inside)
Garage Rock Radio, Garage Rock Radio, Garage Rock Radio, Garage Rock Radio,
Rocking the world, till the end of time.
Rocking the world, till the end of time.

The Hi Fevers

I recently got a copy of the new CD from the Hi Fevers in the mail. Fege, the Hi Fever's guitarist and vocalist, sent me this CD all the way from Italy. I have known Fege for years, she used to be in the cool band, Queen Beee. I wrote about them on GarageRockRadio in the 4/14/2004 entry near the bottom of the page, here.

This six-song CD is guitar and drum based rock and roll. All tracks are 2 and 3 minutes in length. The songs show influences from Garage, Surf, Punk, and even Disco. The set starts out strong with the song "High Fever". Fege sings and one of the guys harmonize over power chords and standard rock drum beats. I imagine that this will be a crowd pleaser in live sets - I can see the fans pumping their fists and bobbing their heads in sync with the band.

Song two is "Leech". It's another strong rocker with punk influences. Next up is "Girl+". It starts out fast, with riffs borrowed from the Dead Kennedy's "Too Drunk to ****". This is a cool punker with go-go drums over the guitar break, and is probably my fave track. The last three songs are good rockers; one is an instrumental with surf stylings and the final track is a Disco-rocker slightly similar to the Kinks "Superman".

All in all, this is a good rocking CD! For more information on the Hi Fevers, check out their MySPace page.

Fuzztones and McFadden's Parachute

McFadden's Parachute and the Fuzztones are the two best Garage Rock bands around today. Both have been making fuzzy psychedelic 60s Garage Rock for years and both are in the news lately.

Here's a link to an article on McFadden's Parachute.

Here's the latest on the Fuzztones:

The February issue of the world's biggest rockzine, Rolling Stone,
contains a 12 track CD sampler, entitled (get this!)...."FUZZ TONES"! Even
cooler, the CD, which accompanies an article on 60's and 80's "Garage" bands,
features The Fuzztones' classic, "NINE MONTHS LATER," as well as tracks by the
Seeds, Count V, McCoys, Sonics, Paul Revere & The Raiders, and more!

Check out the Fuzztones website.

GarageRockRadio Podcast, Volume 1

I've been talking about doing a 1960's Garage Podcast for quite some time. Well, I've finally made one. It contains 4 cool 60s Garage tunes:

Scream Loud - Quests (Visit their website)
I Want You - Toni and Terri
Some Day - Resumes
Painted Air - Remaining Few

Thanks to everyone who emailed me a "station ID". You can do the same and I'll use it in the future. Just say, "I love Garage Rock Radio", or "This is xxx from xxx and I love Garage Rock Radio", or "This is xxxx from the band xxxx and you're listening to Garage Rock Radio", or something like that. You can use any mic and any recording program, even the Sound Recorded program that comes with Windows. Save it as a WAV file and email it to bill@garagerockradio.com and I'll use it in an upcoming podcast.

Listen to the podcast here!
