If you like _The Right Time_ period Hoodoo Gurus then you will like it. They always write goos material, but I just think that their best days are long behind them, and I don't find the recent stuff garage-y at all. o---------------------------------o----------------------------o |Anthony Dale |'That Was Now, This Is Then'| |http://www.adam.com.au/~aadale | - Faine Jade | o---------------------------------o----------------------------o ------------------------------ From: Hitomi I Date: Sat, 24 Aug 1996 22:41:36 +0900 Subject: RE: garage punk on tv Hi Caressa I have a video almost same as yours.I bought it boot video shop Tokyo Japan.

Is the Shadows of knight singing"Shake"? >their later hit I want to see their early stuff,though I Don't know it is rest or not. Hitomi (from Tokyo) - ---------- From: Caressa Bennet -- Bennet ^ Bennet PLLC - Washington Sent: Friday, August 23, 1996 11:46 PM To: Bomp@bolis.com Subject: garage punk on tv To: Bomp list, Inet Someone asked whether there is a video compilation of 60's punk band appearances on sit coms and cartoons. I've always dreamed of such a comp, but to my knowledge nothing legitimate exists. However, I do have a bootleg quality tape that contains the Seed's (aka, the Warts) Mothers-in-Law appearance (which is hilarious, not to mention my first childhood memory of garage rock) and the Standells appearance on the Munsters, as well as choice video nuggets from the Shadows of Knight, Chocolate Watchband, 13th Floor Elevators, Electric Prunes, Castaways, Amboy Dukes, Blue Cheer, the Nazz, Blues Magoos, Bad Seeds, Zakaray Thaks, Leaves, and the MC5. I bought it years ago from a guy who may possibly still be in business at this address. His name is Mark Rosen (the business is called Vintage Videos) and his address is (was?) 1 DuBois Road, New Paltz, New York 12561. By the way, one appearance I haven't seen mentioned and I've always wondered about was an episode of Get Smart which featured a heavy psychedelic band called the Sacred Cows who engaged in musical mind control. Does anyone know anything about these guys?

The "Groovy Guru" episode is the one with the Scared Cows. The song "Kill! Kill! Kill!" was covered by canadian "sluge-a-billy" duo Deja Voodoo on their first LP (OG recs) from 1985. Deja Voodo were doing the lo-fi, two man, guitar and drums thing long before a lot of *newer* bands (ie: Bassholes, not old blues bands), and in a totally unique style, drawing on the blues, rockabilly, '60s and '70s punk. They wrote great original tunes like "How Can I Miss You (If You Won't Go Away), "Feed The Thing," "Monsters in my Garage," "Do the Lizard" and lots more. They put out about six albums, a couple of EPs and a tape, and appeared on all the volumes of "It Came From canada" series (five total) that featured other cool canuck Combos like the Ten Commandments, UIC, Supreme Bagg Team, House of Knives, Terminal Sunglasses, the Stand (GT), Gruesomes, Calamity Janes (a combo I briefly played in) and many more. I had the pleasure of seeing DV many times, and they always delivered. They used to put on annual "OG BBQs" every year in Montreal (one year they had 'em in Montreal, Kingston, and Toronto!), were ther'd be like 10 bands in one night, playing short, 20 min, sets and drummer Tony Dewald (of DV) cooking up gumbo, hot dogs, burgers, or other BBQ style foods. Lotsa fun! If you ever see any of these out of print DV LPs, by all means, buy it!! Re: the Boys. Has anyone ever heard the Hollywood Brats? They were a Swedish band that had two members that later went on to the Boys (they moved to England). I only have one album by the, although they put out two, both recorded in 1974/75, but not released until 1978. Very NY Dolls/Stooges influenced. Two of the Boys members also produced albums by the German band Die Toten Hosen, and play on Ian Hunter's newest album! Last, but not least, the Boys did a X-mas album and some singles as the Yobs (get it?), which are very hard to find now, although someone told me the Yobs one is on CD, as are the Boys LPs though I haven't seen 'em.

I had ordered an Australian CD which was a tribute to the Plimsouls. However, the mail order house was out of stock and does not expect to get any more. Has anyone seen this in a bin or on a list? I'd appreciate any leads. Thanks!! Bill --------------------------------------- "The return of the ex-girlfriend pretty face rears its ugly head drop dead gorgeous....DROP DEAD!"

I guess you mean "It's Just A Matter of Time" on Zero Hour Records ? I picked one up about a year ago here in New Zealand in a bargain bin. Have not seen any others. But one place you could try getting it is through a mail-order outfit in Australia called House of Wax Records, they do lots of great pop and garage stuff: 808 Hay Street Perth, W.A. 6000 Australia fax (09) 481 0267 Otherwise I'll tape you one. And speaking of power pop ..does anyone have spare copies of the first five issues of Yellow Pills ? ...or could even photocopy them ?
