LOS TENTAKILLS - A MANY TIMES WORSE



Garage psych reworking of a folk standard about the dangers of drug addiction.

Los Saicos - ¡Demolición!

The first of six 7" vinyls from perchance the best band that ever was. LOS SAICOS.

Los Saicos - Salvaje

Music had its share of rebels and rockin' rumblers in the mid-sixties, but none broke down the bars and stampeded through the urban jungle, instilling fear in the weak and exhilaration in the strong quite like Los Saicos, the short-lived, highly influential garage band from Lima, Peru, who played from 1964-1966. Los Saicos knocked down those walls with the primal urge to play unbridled rock n roll with attitude and vigor. Their music attacked like a feral rabid dog - everyone in Lima was infected. Whereas most Peruvian bands were playing covers of American/English rock n roll groups, Los Saicos stood out from their peers, writing and performing originals no one had ever heard before. In fact, they had very little to no knowledge of the Nuggets-type garage bands performing in the US and UK. In 1965, they scored their first major hit, "Demolició which swept across the country and across South America.

The band, comprised of Erwin Flores (lead vocals, guitar), Cér "Papi" Castrillóvocals, bass guitar), Rolando Carpio (lead guitar), and Pancho Guevara (vocals, drums), released a total of six singles before calling it quits a year later. Though Los Saicos remained relatively obscure for the rest of the 20th century, the influential torch they lit forty-five years ago still shines brightly on modern garage-punk bands, and shows no signs of burning out anytime soon.

The Vampires Of Dartmoore - Dracula's Music Cabinet (1969)

Spooky German psychedelic exotica ? Ultra rare late sixties proto hip hop moogsploitation? Whatever this is I like it. A soundtrack to a film that was never made, by a band that no one can name, on an amount of acid no one should take. Well maybe now and again, special occasions etc . . . .

Honestly though, the use of samples and the obvious familiarity with quite technical studio effects (for 1969) makes this sound like it was made in 96, not 69. Reminds me of Tipsy,Sukia and Funki Porcini.

The Bad Seeds EP

The Bad Seeds’ story is a familiar one. A product of the youth-fueled sixties rock ’n’ roll wave, they enjoyed a meteoric rise on their home turf, the Texas Gulf Coast. For a band whose few records exemplify Texas garage rock at its finest, they didn’t last past the summer of ’66. But what they did leave behind is indelible: 45 rpm sides that rival the upper echelon Nuggets rock of the era. With an unmistakable sound that mixed-up early Stones with gutty Texas twang, the Bad Seeds put hometown Corpus Christi on the musical map in the mid-1960s.

This extended play collects the absolute cream of their original J-Beck Records output, from the pure Lone Star swagger of “I’m a King Bee” to “All Night Long”; easily the most Elevators-inspired jukebox selection ever. And to make it essential, the Bad Seeds’ ultimate statement, “A Taste of the Same,” makes its welcome return to vinyl.

Bob Hocko & The Swamp Rats - Get Hip (Archive Series Reissue 45)

The Swamp Rats were one of the most demented, unhinged and fuzzed-out bands this side of the Sonics. It's no surprise that they covered "Psycho," The trio utilized twin fuzzed guitars, drums and no bass for a primal sound that few could match.

Our infamous version of The Lively Ones Surf Rider. Get on your Architeuthis and ride!

You all know me. You know what I do for a living. I'll catch this bird for ya but it ain't going to be easy. Bad fish. It's not like going down to the pond chasing bluegills or tommy cods. This squid. Swallow you whole. Little shaking. Little tenderizing, down you go. Now we gotta do it quick. That will bring back all the tourists and put all your businesses on a paying basis. But it's not going to be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks chief. I'll find him for 3 but I'll catch him and kill him for 10. Now you gotta make up your minds. You want to stay alive anti up. Want to play it cheap. Be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers I don't want no mates, there's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head. The tail. The whole damn thing. Mr Mayer. Chief. Ladies and gentlemen.

Rock n Roll Vinyl Rips - The Painted Ship

An amazing reissue of a cult 66 Garage classic. Remastered at Abbey Road from the master tapes.

The Painted Ship - Garage Greats

Alumni of Vancouver, BC's largely unheralded '60s music scene, this quartet consisted of buckskin-clad Bill Hay (vocals), Bob Rowden (guitar), Ken Wain (keyboards) and Barry Rowden (drums). The band cut two late-'60s singles with the London label: "Little White Lies" b/w "Frustration" and "Audience Reflections" b/w "And She Said 'Yes.'" "Frustration" seethes with primal angst. Its structure recalls the Castaways' "Liar Liar," with organ runs from Uzbekhistanm -- or the Hindu Kush. "Lies," Hays said, was "a parody of a swaggering rock star." The band was told to record "something more commercial than 'Frustration.'" They did just that. Frat-house rhythms and sneered, snotty vocals make "Lies" a true punk classic. A monster hit in BC, the single met with less acclaim internationally, despite U.S. airplay. The Painted Ship floundered

Restored to One

Well, here's something a bit different . . .


As someone with an interest in Cults in general, I knew a wee bit about the Process Church of the Final Judgement, in that they influenced the thinking of Charlie Manson and one of the founders was fae Glesga, Mary Ann MacLean. They worshiped Christ, Lucifer, Satan, and Jehovah all equally and were originally an offshoot from Scientology. Basically at the final judgement, Christ will come back to judge us and Satan will exact that judgement, in a kind of apocalyptic 'I'll haud em, you dod em' tag team style.


Anyway stoner doom sex bomb Jex Thoth has teamed up with Dave Nuss of the free Jazz group the No Neck Blues Band to record the hymns sung by this Satan worshiping counterculture cult, and I've been diggin' it. The music is a kind of psychedelic gospel rhythm and blues, with a creepy groovieness that comes from the fact that whoever wrote these songs was deeply sick in the mind. Jex's voice is sexy and haunting. The overall effect is like waking up from a really bad trip next to a beautiful woman who you know, in your heart, is Satan.
