While the idea of having a whole bunch of garage-punks gathered in one place has a certain appeal for me, I think it's a pretty sure way to stagnation. Besides, a whole bunch of us can all get together for long weekends at varoius garage fests each year. I'm once again looking forward to Fuzzfest in Atlanta (where I met a few of you in person for the first time). Also, if I've got the money, I'll try and hit Treblefest in Denver (which looks like it's gonna happen this year)... that was another place I met a bunch of you. Wish I could've made GarageShock last year, but... well, Hallowe'en isn't considered a holiday in my school district. (Memorial Day, the traditional time for GShock, on the other hand...) And, I'm gonna try and convince Jon Weiss to do a Cave Stomp '98 in NYC again (although that's really not the same kind of fest... in fact, I don't think the normal garagefest thing really *can* take place in a city like New York.)

Big towns? I consider myself a fairly smalltown girl living in Ann Arbor, Mi, @ 100,000 plus 30,000 students, and I thought Charleston and Savannah were quite a bit smaller, as well as rather isolated...although as you say absolutely breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL.

It sums up most everything except the fact if the lion's share of the current bands took risks (read:played basic rock 'n' roll)instead of trying to sound like everyone else on commercial alternative (I hate that fuckin' word...)radio, believe me, the scene, such as it is, would thrive. Speaking of the "scene", I just read a post from the Rockabilly list which pretty much sums up my opinion. The scene to me is a look, music is an attitude.

I liked what I heard so much that I decided to pick it up right then and there. It's called "Electrick Loosers #3: The Rheingold Rampage 1964 - 1970" and apparently it's a compilation of German beat, garage and psych bands from the '60s. There's no record label info given at all, which leads me to suspect that it's a bootleg. Does anyone else here know about this? Is it a bootleg or just a release on some really obscure label? And is "Electrick Loosers" a series with other titles? As for the German '60s psych/garage scene - I guess there was one - did any of these bands go anywhere? I have to say, this was some really cool freaky stuff! Pure '60s-style garage rock a la Standells or Monks, and nothing like you'd expect from the Germans - lyrics are all in English, and it sounds nothing like the Krautrock that later followed - - in fact, one of the subtitles of this comp is "The Prae-Kraut Pandaemonium That Never Happened." Wow. I knew that the Netherlands had a pretty hip and happening '60s psych, garage and beat scene - I've got one CD by Group 1850 and I've also heard of the Q65 - but I didn't realize Germany had a big scene too.

The first two volumes of this series were reissues of the first four Prae-Kraut Pandaemonium albums. This was done without the permission of Yahoo Records, so the music is once-again removed from its source (scratchy old singles). Electrick Loosers #3 rounds up a bunch of other German tracks that've appeared on a number of Euro-beat comps in the last few years. Again, they probably just mastered the songs from other compilations, not from singles.
