Jeff’s Moody Monsters
Hosts: Mal Thursday and Jeff Lemlich
Mal Thursday is joined by Florida Rocks Again! music guru Jeff Lemlich to bring you some of the finest examples of downbeat teen balladry to emerge from Florida in the mid-’60s. A perfect complement to a long, hot summer’s day, this double-wide episode is crammed with adolescent angst, minor chord misery, and woebegone rarities. Featuring such ace mid-’60s combos as the Shaggs, Painted Faces, We The People, the Tropics, and the Nightcrawlers (you can get Cracking the Egg: The Untold Story of the Nightcrawlers on DVD, as well as Jeff’s book, Savage Lost: Florida Garage Bands, the ’60s and Beyond at the Florida Rocks Again! Online Superstore). Produced by JM Dobies and Jeff Lemlich in Living Monophonic Sound.

I was the drummer in the Miami band “Stix and Stones” in 1966 – 1967. Do you have anything on them?
