Thanks for posting this!  I think I know just the guy!  I'll let you know as soon as he gets back to me!   : )

We're looking for a studio here in Toronto to cut 3-5 songs for possible release. We need better than demo quality. There are plenty of studios here in town but we need just the right person to get the sound we're looking for.

We're a  3 piece (2 guitars/drums) sinister, primitive garage/punk/blues outfit in the vein of Gories/Oblivians with some of the psychotic energy of The Stooges, the soul of Detroit and Memphis, and the dark voodoo vibe of The Cramps and The Gun Club. Very high energy, very dark and primal. I sing through a harmonica mike and we're soaked in reverb, tremolo and fuzz.

Preferably, we're looking for someone who loves this stuff as much as we do so nobody has to do any explaining and our heads are in the same place. Not looking for the "this shit is easy, yeah I can do it" slumming attitude. That's why we want somebody who gets what we're doing.

If this is you or you know somebody who might fit the bill, get in touch!

my favorite garage comp is called WYLD Canada...5 volumes of Canadian rockers

you can find it on the o canadarm! blog, I definitely recommend it

 

Tanx Blackcat69!!!

 

There's lots more Canuck comps out there. Here's an amazing source for garage band comps:

 

http://www.ugly-things.com/

then go to 60's comp database, lots of modern garage stuff on there as well.

 

enjoy!

Wow!  Thanks for the lists.  This should keep me busy for a while!   Dave I am aware of your show.  I attended UWO a long time back and follow your FB page.  Keep up the good work!  Cheers!

 

The It Came From Canada series (there were 5 of them released by OG Records in the mid to late 80's) are absolutely essential for 80's Canuck garage music. OG Records was based in Montreal and run by the members of Deja Voodoo who had VERY good musical taste...and they were great guys always open to cool sounds. The Gruesomes, Deja Voodoo, UIC, 10 Commandments, Supreme Bagg Team, Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet and many many others were all on these compilations. Once in awhile i see a used copy of one of these volumes, but they tend to sell pretty quick.

 

Another LP on OG, Mr Garager's Neighbourhood is sometimes considered the 6th volume in the above series, but it had US bands mixed in with the Canucks...ie Cynics, Thee Fourgiven, Ultra V, Mystic Eyes etc...this was compiled by What Wave zine folks (self plug there).

 

Well after the 80's garage scene, Stomp Records released the CD compilation called Time Machine The History Of Canadian 60's Garage Punk And Surf (1985-95).  

This is a great comp with lots of cool combos (many of the above mentioned plus Smugglers, Treblemakers, Minstrels and lots more). Great liner notes too that'll give you an idea of what the scene was like back then.

 

Nardwuar The Human Serviette (Vancouver radio personality and all around cool guy) released 3 LP's on CLEO Records...Oh God, My Mom's On Channel 10,   Teenage Zit Rock Angst   and Clam Chowder and Ice vs Big Macs and Bombers    all 3 of these LP's contain some great Canuck garage as well as US and world garage. These were released between 89 and 95 and contain some of the newer combos like Leather Uppers, Evaporators (Nard's combo), Sherlocks and many more. Great comps worth finding!

 

There's also a series called Oh Canaduh! on Lance Rock Records that had US and Canuck combos playing 60's to 80's Canadian garage punk covers that is quite good. There were at least 2 of these and were released in the later 90's. Some of the covers of the quite good, others not so, but still well worth finding...btw, i'm looking for the 2nd volume in this series.

 

What Wave zine also releasee 10 cassettes with a lot of Canuck (as well as worldwide) garage type noise. Here's a link to Wave From The Grave, a cassette that came out in 1986 with WW Zine #10:

http://chrwradio.com/lma/1987/What%20Wave%20-%20Wave%20From%20The%20Grave%202/ww4.htm

 

In 1988, we released Disgraceland:

http://chrwradio.com/lma/1988/What%20Wave%20-%20Disgraceland/disgraceland.htm

 

In 1988, we also released a 4 song 7" called Four Whom The Bell Tolled..all London Ontario combos:

In 1990, we released Baloney Sandwich:

http://chrwradio.com/lma/1990/What%20Wave%20-%20Baloney%20Sandwich/baloney.htm

 

In 1991, we released The Eight Wonder:

In 1992, Cat'O'Nine Tails...

http://chrwradio.com/lma/1992/What%20Wave%20-%20Cat%20O'%20Nine%20Tails/ww5.htm

 

In 1996, London Crawling, all London Ontario combos:

http://chrwradio.com/lma/1996/What%20Wave%20-%20London%20Crawling/whatwave1.htm

 

There was at least one more called Garunge....released well before that style of noise came around...

 

Dionysus Records released the Winnipeg Riot compilation, an all Winnipeg CD comp, put together by the amazing artist Darren Merinuk. This was released a few years back and is the coolest of the Winnipeg combos that were around at that time...Darren has GREAT taste in music and art!

 

There's others, but the bell has rung and history lesson is over for today....you can hear many of these bands on my weekly radio show called Radio What Wave on CHRW 94.9 FM outta London Ontario...here's a link:

Here is an oldie but a goodie from Vancouver called 'Last Call' http://www.discogs.com/Various-Last-Call-Vancouver-Independent-Musi...   and from Montreal 'It Came From The Pit'  https://files.nyu.edu/cch223/public/comps/itcamefromthepit.html  If you look around a bit, you should be able to download both for free.   Here's another link to 'Last Call"

http://ocanadarm.blogspot.com/2007/01/last-call-canada-va.html

I know there is series called It Came From Canada.  I have never heard this.  Is it worth finding and also what else is a worthy comp w/ Canadian content?

Hey All,

 

We're brand, spanking new to this site, but joined in the hopes of connecting with some cool people who live in other parts of Canada. Just thought I'd poke my head in and see if people were interested in sharing resources on venues and contact info. for movers and shakers (both bands and venues/promoters) in their respective scenes...we'd be willing to do our part here in Edmonton. Any takers?

 

Rock On,

Alex

 

....The COMMODORE!  Cool! Springy!  I TRIED to simply walk across that dance floor once, with a drink in each hand....but of course - If You're on it - You're DANCING!  That was DOA!  I was dancing those drinks on EVERYBODY!

I saw The Rev about 3 years back with MOTORHEAD & NASHVILLE PUSSY.  Doesn't get much better!  Quite The Threesome!

 

Last time through the Reverend was with a Gospel troop...this time he's bringing the Devil troop!  Whose going?

I'm very glad that worked out so well for you!  I love The D.R.I. and knew that Queen W. was where you wanted to be.     

Cheers!  - Pete

The Done Right was just like you said, good tunes - had some ale there and ended up at the Dakota bar for some local live music, it was aok. Rotate this had some good records but they were closing when we got there, before that I traded some rare vinyl at Neurotica down the street. very artsy neighborhood, reminds me of Wiliamsburg in Bklyn...

I'd say hop on a plane and jet to Vancouver... Catch a show at the Rickshaw then tilt back a few cold ones at the Railway Club but if your stuck in Hog town try the Caddilac Lounge for your juke joint maybe Shanghai Cowgirl for a bite, if only the Matador was still open... Good times till the wee morning hours. The Black Bull has aa decent patio to catch Queen street crawlers and they serve good ole Labatt 50!

Here's a really good link for live music listings:  http://www.nowtoronto.com/music/listings/   

-A good record store - Rotate This 801 Queen St W.   http://rotate.com/  and a great little bar is just down the street.  The Done Right Inn at 861 Queen W.  - Great Music & backyard patio.  http://www.yelp.ca/biz/the-done-right-inn-toronto   I was a  dj there for 8 years.  Welcome to our city, hope you have fun!   Oh yeah, there's a pinball machine,the people are friendly and it's not pricey.

Will be in Toronto tomorrow (Aug 5) and need to know  if there are any decent pubs n'clubs to kill an eve after going to  record shops all day. I looked at the online listings and it looks like a  blandscape of hip hop, country and specious indie folk - although there  are a lot of clubs I must say.

I would settle for a halfway legit gin joint with a decent jukebox.

Any GRGPNKers got the inside scoop?

Fredericton, NB's ATOMIC MACHETES' "ROCK AND ROLL IS THE ONLY THING WE GOT" burned up the campus charts in 2004 and their 2005 Maritime Mutant Invasion Tour is now the thing of legends, but as quickly as it all began, it ended.

 

In their short existence they shared the stage with the likes of Zeke, Tricky Woo, SNFU, Dayglo Abortions, the Illuminati, Bitchin Camaros, C'mon, Red Hot Lovers, Maximum RNR, Black Halos (those sorts of shows sure as shit haven't been coming around these parts in ages), laid waste to the Halifax Pop Explosion, and still lay claim to one of the most played albums in Maritime campus radio history.

 

Now, for the first time in years "ROCK AND ROLL IS THE ONLY THING WE GOT" is available once again.

 

ATOMIC MACHETES - "ROCK AND ROLL IS THE ONLY THING WE GOT"
