The Customs featured guitar from Peter Greenberg (DMZ/Lyres). Apparently the cd includes the two 45s from '79 "plus an assortment of top-notch outtakes,demos and live cuts from '78 to '81". If the unreleased stuff is as good as those 45s this will be a hot cd of garage-punk. It's on the Shake It label. The only other thing I can see on the list on that label is a 7" by the Long Gones, another mid-west band who I assume are current. Anyone know about Shake It?

Yup, same Creatures... "The Creatures" is the original name of the group. Later on, when Siouxsie & Budgie decided to get their old band going again, the Bethlehem boys had to come up with some kinda modification. Lead singer Mark Smith was at Chaos/Black Eye label head Tom Bessoir's place and came across a book (by Alastair Crowley, maybe?) either *called* The Creatures of the Golden Dawn or with that phrase on the back cover. Good enough for Mr. Smith. I was always kinda POd about Siouxsie claiming the name for her own. I understand that she & Budgie were using it before the guys in B'hem, but... there were bands called the Creatures before Siouxsie, as well. Just watch _Charlie Is My Darling_, the documentary of The Rolling Stones '65 tour of Ireland. There's a part where the interviewer asks this long-haired kid if he as a band. He says something like, "Yeah, I'm in The Creatures." I'm guessing the Irish bunch never put out a record. Whatever... Siouxsie has the money power behind her. (Just like when Edie Brickell had Geffen behind her and was able to keep her band's name, The New Bohemians, even though a Long Island group had been using the name for years. That band eventually became The Scofflaws, though, and things have worked out pretty well for them.) As to the thought that The Creatures (of the Golden Dawn) had broken up... well, Mark's had so many different lineups that he may end up catching up to Jeff Conolly one of these days.

My perception was it that it was a underground thing > that was mostly ignored by most kids. Well... I've got 16 years on you and I'm a high school teacher. So at least I hear a ton of stuff my students listen to. As with every generation, most of them listen to some real crap. On the other hand, I think there's more potential now for kids to be listening to something I like. When I was 15-16, growing up on the North Shore of Long Island, WLIR had just become the first "new music" station in the country. A few years earlier, WPIX had played The Ramones et al. for a few months, but that died a pretty quick death. Most of my growing-up was done listening to either oldies or classic rock. (And, of course, some of your standard radio fare... I still really like the first 5 Van Halen records, early Aerosmith, and AC/DC thru Back in Black.) But when 'LIR switched, a bunch of my friends tuned in and got me into The Pretenders and The Clash. I remember getting London Calling for my 16th or 17th b-day. WOW!!! When I was in high school, I never heard the term "garage-rock." In late '82 or early '83 (sometime during senior year of HS, anyway), my friends and I went out to a bar (the drinking age in NY at the time was 19... with the non-laminated/no picture licenses, this was not a problem for us at age 17). Then we saw a sign across the sign that said, "Tonight: The Mosquitos." One of us knew that was the group that a schoolmate of our's was in. So we went... and saw a bunch of guys with Beatle Boots, matching shirts, and the lead singer with his guitar strung up on his chest like Gerry Marsden. At the time, they were playing great Mersey-pop. Through The Mosquitos (and then my four years up in Rochester, NY seeing The Projectiles, The Swing Set, & The Chesterfield Kings), I got into the garage scene that was then starting to kick into full gear. As a DJ at my college radio station in the mid-80s, I was the only one who was whole hog into garage. Others liked a bit here and there, but they were FAR more into the Cocteau Twins and The Cure. Oh wait, there *was* Bomp-lister Matthew Kaplan, but he was kicked on and off the air so many times I was never sure when he was fully part of the station. ;-) What I'm saying is that garage wasn't popular when I was a kid, either... basically, those of us who've gotten here did so because we sought out something that meant something to *us*. Personally, I think it's a bit easier to do today... and that's good. And for that I thank labels like Estrus, Bomp, Dionysus, Norton, etc. Blair ==================================================================== To unsubscribe from Bomp, send an e-mail to majordomo@bolis.com with "unsubscribe bomp" in the message body.

Boyd In the 60s, many if not all the punk/garage bands were considered teenybopper and looked down upon. I was always the only one around with Seeds, Electric Prunes, Sam the Sham etc. records and my friends always laughed at them. It wasn't until the 70s with Alice Cooper, the Stooges, Dolls that some people's ears opened to the 60s punk and altho it was more "underground" than ever, there began to be organs (mostly vox) to spread the word via fanzines, some prozines, and mail order stores of salvation like Bomp! And now, with the internet, there seems to be more fans than ever. Whether that is because the internet ties special interest groups better than ever before, or if there are actually more 60s punk fans than ever, I don't know.

I think "rocking" is an outdated term among most bands you hear on the radio. "Emoting" took its place for awhile, but that's passe now as well.

I was fortunate enough to have him around long enough to share the mic on a Benny Goodman retrospective I was doin' on a Jazz show a few years ago.) but for the most part, for our folks generation, everything after The Beatles hit was the same noise. Our generation understands, through trial and error (let's face it, we ALL have our musical skeletons in the closet...mine? Grand Funk and yes, Brian, Kiss) what good and real rock and roll, R & B, punk, etc. is all about. This is the basis of our frustration with today's youth, not to mention the fact that today's youth isn't as curious (generally speaking) as we were. I was fortunate enough as a kid to have older cousins who turned me on to pop back in the 60s to begin with. In my teens I worked in the record department at the late, lamented, Lechmere Sales in Cambridge. Amoeba it wasn't, but it was a start, and working there introduced me to older kids who were into bands like Slade, the Pre-Silver Bullet Bob Seger, The Move, and The Stooges which were all readily available for sale in our store and prompted me to listen and buy. Imagine Tower goin' out on a limb for similarly underground artists of today. Not bloody likely. Alex Piandes Who has 12 years on Old Man Wolf...

John's initial lament was that he doesn't care for most of what "the kids" are listening to, and that he was afraid this was a sign he was turning into an old fart. I don't think the music that people on this list are into (and I realize that's a *very* wide spectrum) should be looked at as something kids would necessarily listen to more than adults. It seems to be pretty well outside the mainstream of all age groups. Which leads me to Boyd's comments: >As a 16 year old I think the simple answer is... my generation sucks. >[snip] >But my question is... did everybody listen to punk rock or was it just the >kids in the know. My perception was it that it was a underground thing >that was mostly ignored by most kids. I wouldn't be so quick to say your generation sucks. Your perception was the case when I was in high school in '74 - '78. There were a lot more people interested in Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, etc. than were interested in the Sex Pistols, Stranglers, Clash, Ramones, etc. Luckily I fell in with one of those "in the know" crowds, and wound up listening to Foreigner, Shaun Cassidy, and the punk bands with equal enthusiasm. Well, almost equal.

I have 3 7"s by them. They're fucking insane. I don't know if you've noticed, but there has been a thread of really fuck-up bands that have come from St.L over the years. Such as Drunks w/ Guns, Strangulated Beatoffs, Fruitcake, Anal Babies, and the Saw is Family.
