Sonic Nightmares Anonymous®
Hosts: Gringo Starr & Reverend Beat-Man
What makes this episode extra special may not be the fact that it’s a whopping 90 minutes long or that it happens to be our one-year anniversary on GaragePunk.com, but that we are joined by guest hosts Brother Panti-Christ and El Tiki from the original Sonic Nightmares radio show. In an attempt to bring them back into the fold permanently, The Reverend Beat-Man and co-sponsor, Gringo Starr, have founded a 12-step therapy program - Sonic Nightmares Anonymous®! Listen to the sound of grown men weeping as our two long lost soul mates are granted the serenity to accept the things they cannot change and embrace the evil turntables once again. Free coffee and donuts will be provided along with tracks by The Knee Jerk Reactions, The Crawdaddys, The Wimple Winch, Howlin’ Wolf, Mickey Hampshire, The Madcowgirl Disease and a bonus set of Turkish Psyche-Folk!

Last episode’s concept of Beat-Man moderating the show by telephone while in outer space has now mutated into a cheesy old-time radio serial, Orson Wellesian teenage alien invasion, science fiction variety hour-type thing. But don’t be fooled by all the bells and whistles (or all the echo)! This episode highlights some of the greatest punk tracks of all time (in our opinion, of course)! Featuring cuts by The Dead Boys, Zackary Thaks, The Damned, Suicide, Pop Rivets, The Seeds, The Velvet Underground and Hasil Adkins! This episode is dedicated to our fellow GaragePunk.com podcaster, Mr. Dan Electreau. Hey man, the words “flying saucer” were never uttered in this podcast (with the exception of The Rezillos).
