Had a little break in the podcast schedule so I thought I’d post about some stuff that I’ve been wanting to post lately but haven’t had the time…
OUT OF THE VAULTS, INTO YOUR EARS
We are actively soliciting live tapes for more Out of the Vaults, Into Your Ears podcasts. Feel free to do them yourself (basically record an intro and an outro for them) OR send them to either myself (see contact page) or to outofthevaults@gmail.com and we’ll add the vocal intro/outro ourselves.
No hurry, of course, as there are already some in the pipeline, but we would love to have more people submitting these.
SURF/INSTRO SHOW WANTED!!
We would love to be able to add a regular surf/instro rock’n'roll show to our podcast lineup. I’ve been actively posting this on some surf music message boards and Myspace groups but so far no one’s taken the bait. If you would be interested in putting together a podcast show like this for us, or know someone who would, by all means get in touch! Looking for something that could cover the entire gamut of surf/instrumental rock’n'roll from the late ’50s straight up through today, so someone with a good knowledge of the genre would be appreciated. I’m planning on playing nothing but surf/instro-mental crud on the next episode of Savage Kick, but it won’t be a regular thing. Hence the need for someone to do a regular (twice per month) show… Thanks!
YOUR TOWN/STATE/COUNTRY ROCKS AGAIN!
I was also hoping we might have more regional shows being submitted similar to Florida Rocks Again. How about Texas Rocks Again, or The Pacific Northwest Rocks Again? What about Detroit? Boston? New York? New Orleans? Canada? Australia? An all-Japanese show would be great, too. We have someone interested in producing a Memphis music show for us right now, so that’s a start, but we’d like more. Again, if you’re interested, get in touch. Note: You can name it whatever you’d like. I was just using FRA as an example…

NEW LOGO(S) WANTED!!
Any aspiring artists, graphic designers or other creative types out there bored and looking for something fun to do? Create a new logo for the GaragePunk Podcast! We like our current one, but would love to be able to have others we could use from time to time, or to even switch to as our main logo if it’s good enough. Only requirement for the podcast art is it has to be square (like album art) and say “GaragePunk Podcast” on it. The rest is up to you!
Thanks. That’s it for now. Hopefully we’ll have a new podcast ready for you to download later tonight or tomorrow. -kopper

The Splash Four – Live on WUSB-FM, Stony Brook, New York – June 27, 1998
The heading just about says it all. The band was in town and Michael from Dead End Radio (now known as The Tuesday Night Rock’n'Roll Dance Party) invited them to come record a set for his show. He invited a group of people to come down and be the studio audience as the band bashed it out in a nearby classroom. WOW!!! Sure wish my college classes could’ve had some of this kinda action!
Lili Zeller and her husband, Jacques “Jack” Amsellem, of the Splash 4 are currently making some great noise in the band Volt (check out their 12″ EP that came out last year on In the Red Records).

The Rip Offs – Live on KALX, Berkeley, CA – January 6, 1995
Claiming members from such early West Coast garage punkers as The Fingers and Supercharger, not to mention a healthy dose of pop punk from former Mr. T Experiencer Jon Von, the Rip Offs were success and MTV bound from the start. Fortunately that’s not how it worked out. The first band incarnation of Greg Lowery and the White Bros., the Rip Offs rocked yer filthy balls like nobody else. With a lone LP and a handful of singles, these boys called it quits way too early for my liking.

It’s Coverama, baby! Produced by Mal and JeffMiami.

The Real Kids – Live at Maxwells in Hoboken, NJ – September 26, 1992
In July, 1991, the original lineup of The Real Kids reunited at The Rat in Boston for what most assumed was one night.
Less than one year later, they were back at The Rat for another one. A few months after that, they came down to Hoboken, NJ for a show at Maxwell’s.
This show was recorded by at least three different people. This comes from one of those tapes.

Most of the time, I like to mix it up, which is why my main podcast is The Speed of Sound. But every once in awhile, I start jonesing for a full serving of pop, be it upbeat and rockin’ or downcast and… not rockin’.
And so: Pop Goes…
Those of you who’ve listened to The Speed of Sound will notice that some of the transitions are kind of odd; there’s a reason. Anyone want to take a guess what it is?

The Voodoo Dolls – Live at Maxwell’s (Hoboken, NJ) 1/11/92
Had The Voodoo Dolls formed in, say, 1997, rather than 1987, they likely would’ve been riding the modern garage-rock popularity wave with the likes of The Hives, The Mooney Suzuki, etc. They had great songs (mostly thanks to guitarist Evan Shore, now of Muck & the Mires, then formerly of The Pets, The House Pets, and The Queers), dueling guitars (courtesy of Shore and Dave “Hollywood” Harrison), and a great lead vocalist in the form of ex-Prime Mover Cam Ackland. Rhythm section? Well, they were always great, but the rhythm section changed rather often in this band.
One night in Bethlehem, PA, Original Sins’ leader JT said of them, “This must be what it was like to see the MC5.” These guys were a POWERFUL rock’n'roll band. This recording is OK, but it doesn’t do them justice. Of course, it’s my contention that live recordings will never give you a real feel for having been there… But at least it’s something.

The Gories – Live on CJAM (Windsor, Ontario)
Presented for podcast by Blair B.
I wish I could tell you when this was recorded, but… Well, I have no idea. For that matter, I have no idea when I got this tape, but it was sometime after they’d played the Knitting Factory in NYC opening for Alex Chilton and prior to the release of their first album. That’d put it somewhere in mid-1989, I guess.
Anyway, while most of this is The Gories live on the air, we’re also treated to part of Dan’s record collection. (In fact, the show starts with a James Brown track.) AND, some interview segments. You find out that while Dan and Mick are from Detroit, Peg is from “fashionable Ferndale.” They also recount one of my favorite pieces of Gories’ lore: Alex Chilton’s consoling of the band after the Knitting Factory crowd was indifferent. Alex said something like, “Don’t worry… Nobody’s told them you’re cool yet.”
About 30 minutes in, they go to commercial. That’s been edited out, only because my computer started having problems then, anyway.
The sound quality could probably be better – sometimes it seems to be fading in and out – but, hey, ya gets what ya pays for, OK?
Seriously… It’s good listening to this again.
