I dunno, I think mid-20s was extremely rare, except for some of the big-name groups, like the Stones (I guess Bill Wyman was already twice the age of the average teenbopper he groped) who, while being responsible for the genre, weren't really part of it. That said, there were a few older guys into it ("garage" that is). I think Sean Boniwell was 24 when he did 'Talk Talk'. Funny thing is, that would be considered young for a modern day 'neo' garage band member. As for 14 year-olds into bands back then, I agree, that was pretty standard. peter m ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 07:48:56 -0500 From: "buscareno" Subject: Re: Syl Sylvain show > Yeah, I unfortunately missed it and by 8:30 this AM I already heard two great > reviews of it, DAMNIT!!!! Oh well, how was Red Planet? I can't speak for the Boston show, but in Brooklyn Red Planet were absolutely great. The first song of the set ("Get Back At You", also the first on the new disc) is classic rockin' pop, kinda like a faster Cheap Trick. I also enjoyed their set-closer, a poppier version of Van Halen's "Panama". As to Sylvain, I used to see him weekly about 10-12 years ago at the Continental. For awhile there his band (then dubbed "Sylvain Sylvain & the Ugly Americans") included Jerry Nolan on drums and ex-Vipers' bassist Graham May. *That* I always enjoyed. This show I found to have some good songs, but not nearly the fun factor of the Ugly Americans' shows. Also, missing from the set was "Kids Are Back", a number I always enjoyed. The rest of the set was pretty much as Laura described the Boston show. One nice touch was having Daniel Ray come up and play sax on a couple songs. Oh, and having Frank Infante ("of The Blondies", as Syl put it) take over Syl's guitar for a few songs. _________________________________________________________ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 08:43:28 EST From: Sknoof@aol.com Subject: Re: Zombies reunion << speaking of the village underground, i just saw a boot cd of the show in a shop, which i think claims to be from the soundboard. >> Don't know how it could be.

Hi to anyone who remembers me! Happy to see some interesting stuff going on here! #1 - Vintage Amps Mmm, well having played bass for over 20 years in various combos I'd still say my favorite amps are: for smaller gigs the classic Fender Bassman tube head and its' matching 2x15 cab, and for bigger gigs an Ampeg SVT rig. Can't beat'em for that warm, deep, tube sound. Generally I don't really dig any solid state gear, but I don't get too snobby about it, "you can't always get what you want" indeed. #2 - Intro to punk Musta been around age 12, and it was the Stranglers with their first album which had just come out (mid-77). Pretty soon I was digging the Ramones, Rezillos etc and all those other '78-era bands, and spending all my allowance on the latest boss waxings from that week's John Peel radio show. #3 Intro to garage Came a few years later in the early 80s - I woulda been about 17 by then, and having gotten a solid grounding in 70s punk, was moving backwards into the 60s with the Stooges, the Velvets and the first run of Pebbles albums. I was hipped to them by older musician pals: "hey you should listen to this!!" I was immediately hooked, and can clearly remember taking my beat up copy of "Funhouse" to teenage parties and trying to get'em to play any of it, ideally "L.A. BLues" Whatta hipster! keep on groovin phil (bass- Gene Drayton Unit http://www.genedraytonunit.com) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2002 14:10:56 +0000 From: Boldface Subject: Amboy Dukes I have to admit that I've seen copies of the Amboy Dukes 45s on Polydor hundreds of times and always going for three or four quid - and I always ignored them.

In two words - Venus records. When I was a freshman in high school ('81-'82 ish), a pal's boyfriend got us into the Rezillos/Revillos and brought us to Venus back when it was on 8th Street off of 6th ave. The guys there (Mostly Bruce Planty and Scott Curran) took me under their wing (with Bill Shore always making fun of my increasingly goofy punk rock haircuts).... the first two records they made me buy were the Cramps Garbageman (LOVED IT) and a Mo Tucker 45 (admitedly I didn't quite get it). At one point I was spending so much time there my mom forbade me to go, and would periodically call to see if I was there. The guys would look right at me and chuckle while saying "Nope, haven't seen her". They dragged me to my first Cramps show, introduced me to Billy & Miriam, Jeff Shore, Tim Warren, The Raunch Hands (granted took me a while to stop confusing Tim Warren and Mike Chandler 'cause they had the same haircut & dark glasses), Rick Sullivan, Ognir & Rachel and countless others, all the while having me buy cooler and cooler records (Back from the Graves, Virgin Prunes, Sonics, etc etc etc) and go to cooler and cooler shows (I think I first saw the Raunch hands at the Strip). I got to meet the Chesterfield Kings in an instore at 15, and have always kicked myself for not cutting school the day the Psychedelic Furs shot part of their Run & Run video there. Those guys and that store were an incredible influence on me (well, minus the countless hours of my underage drinking at the Dugout, Peculiar Pub, and the bar around the corner from the Dive). They introduced me to AWESOME music and through the scene I met even more AWESOME people (Jahna, Blair, and tons more... I'd say Justina, but I met her on the hardcore scene!). I still consider myself a part of the NY Garage scene, and I miss it, and all of my pals, all the time!

Anyone been to one of these? Not only can I now get chili cheese fries with my fish planks, but all drinks come in frostie mugs and you can keep on fillin em up- we split about 5 or 6 root beers. What a stomach ache! Plus, it looks like a bowling alley in there, when they call out your order they rhyme it (like "124 out the door!", "128 sure looks great!", etc...), and probably best of all they have an unlimited free play 100 disc all oldies Rockola juke box! "Good Foot" was playin when we came in, followed by some Jerry Lee. We played Kinks "Dandy", Ventures "Perfidia", ShangriLas "Out in the Streets", Miracles "Mickey's Monkey"&"Going to A go go", Jackie Wilson "Lonely Teardrops", Vandellas "Dancing in the Streets", BookerT "Hip Hug Her" and a bunch more. All free, which explains the 6 root beers. Anyways this place rules. Basically it just beat out the diner at the doomed local KMart with their 1.99 chili cheese fries and soda for my fave junk food dive regular stop. Now for that day's thrift scores- topping the list were the kind of garage rock records I'm always wishing I'll find in the thrift bins: R.Sayre (and) the Vacant Lot "Don't You Just Know It/This Little Feelin'" (came in two pack- had to buy "Spinning Wheel" to get this, 90 cents for the pair) The label's called LTD, black w/ silver print.The A side's a great version of the classic frat standard ,worthy of the Wailers. B side's a moody punker penned by group leader R.Sayre where for some reason they mixed the organ and vocals way above everything else for a really strange sound ( on both sides the guitar and organ double up on the same part for the solo). This song made my day. Anybody know anything about this group? Lemonpipers "Quiet, Please!/Quiet, Please!" (45 cents) on the Cinci based Dana label. This is a fuzzed up number that's basically a rewrite of Blue Cheer's version of "Summertime Blues", with fun gimmicks like how they whisper the title after singing it. I've always thought one of these pre "Green Tambourine" records would show up cheap eventually. Rich Reason "Highway Home/Lonesome Prison" on the Jewel label. This is another kind of thing I'm always hunting- I thought it would be some obscure country tracks but instead it was some Shaggs-esque self produced singer song writer with electric piano/percussion played so metronomic that it sounded like a Casio, and the guy just charges on throughg with these seemingly very personal lyrics delivered with disturbingly little attention to time, key or structure- it was great! Other pluses included a perfect copy of the 4 Tops "On Top" lp which turned out to be yellow tagged for half price making it a whopping 30 cents. Good 45s like Johnny Cash Columbia red label "What is Truth/Sing a Travelling Song" (the B side was great!),Marvin Rainwater "I'm Gonna Find Me a Bluebird/So You Think You've Got Troubles"- "Bluebird" features ear peircingly delivered bird calls,Neil Young "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere/Emperor of Wyoming" (B side was non lp instro), Coupla Westbound Funkadelic and Detroit Emeralds singles, a Stax Mel and Tim single that I haven't listened to yet cause i need to clean it, and the kind of garage pop record I exect to find- my third easybeats "friday on my mind/made my bed..." in perfect cond.

All their guitars rule and they make amps just as good that go from 10 bucks fo' the little clip on size on up to, well I can't remember but cheaper than the peavey for a Nifty Fifty. Plus if your wallet's all that's botherin' you just check out flea markets and big warehouse instro outlets that usually have good stuff like 50s and 60s Silvertones in twin 12s and 10s tube for 75-250$. Tubes are pretty easy to find these days at industrial outlet stores or any reputable music shop for the inevitable repairs that come with a cheap vintage piece of equipment.

A bit like a sillier, more "fun" Real Kids or Ramones. All three guys jumping around doing splits, I thought they tried a little too hard but it was Monday night and they wanted to whip up some excitement. The guitar player was a real wankmeister and showman. He pulled some of those Eddie Van Halenisms like playing the notes using just his left hand on the fretboard, etc. (But I could've done without the cover of "Panama"!) Someone said they were good at the Vegas Shutdown (or was it the Grind?).
