HURRICANE HANGOVER HELP VOOR NORTON RECORDS MET THE SONICS IN PATRONAAT
HAARLEM – Het legendarische Norton Records is afgelopen maand zwaar getroffen toen orkaan Sandy haar woede op New York losliet. Het magazijn van het label is gevestigd in een robuust monumentaal pakhuis in Brooklyn, dat vroeger specifiek bestemd was om droge goederen zoals thee en specerijen op te slaan. Ruim 150 jaar heeft dat weer en wind doorstaan, maar de niets ontzienende razernij van Sandy, in combinatie met demonisch volle maan en extreem hoge vloed, leverde een natuurgeweld op waar het pand niet tegen bestand was. Dozen vol vinyl zijn door de magazijnen gesmeten en onder water komen te staan, en de mensen achter het label doen er nu alles aan om de platen te redden en van nieuwe hoezen te voorzien.
Het label, dat wordt gerund door Billy Miller en oud-The Cramps drummer Miriam Linna, staat bekend om de unieke releases van primitieve, retro rock'n'roll, rockabilly, garage punk, garage rock en vroege R&B. Het label bracht onder andere heruitgaven uit van de klassieke Sonics singles ‘Strychnine’ en ‘Psycho’, alsmede de liveplaat ‘Busy Body!!! – Live In Tacoma 1964’.
Woensdag 28 november wordt daarom geld ingezameld om het getroffen label te steunen. Hierbij treden The Sonics op in het Haarlemse Patronaat met een exclusieve Nederlandse show, waarbij de kaartopbrengst bijdraagt aan de heropbouw van het label. Zoals ze zelf zeggen: “You Can’t Drown The Loud Sound!”

Die Garage-Legende aus den 60s! Einzige Show in der Schweiz!
Vor 50 Jahren waren sie die Bad Boys der Musikszene in den USA. Aus Angst die öffentliche Ruhe zu gefährden, weigerten sich einzelne Radiostationen ihre Singles zu spielen, denn sie waren die wildeste Band weit und breit. Heute werden sie als Garage-Legende verehrt und manchmal sogar als erste Punkband gehandelt – The Sonics.
The Sonics verschrieben sich erst dem instrumentalen Rock’n’Roll. Als dieser dann aus der Mode kam, griff der Pianist Gerry Roslie zum Mirkofon und schrie hinein, somit war der Rock’n’Roll um eine seiner markantesten Stimmen reicher. 1964 veröffentlichten The Sonics ihre erste von insgesamt 45 Singles «The Witch», 1965 ihren ersten Longplayer.
The Sonics waren bekannt für ihre harte, raue, trashige Musik. «We always played real hard. Larry played guitar as hard as he could. Bob Bennett played drums as hard as he could. Jerry screamed and banged on the piano. I tried to play sax the way Larry played guitar», sagte Saxophonist Rob Lind im Interview mit L.A.records. Und so ist das auch heute noch: Rosalies Stimme ist noch stets ein Naturereignis. Der Fender-Bass ist noch der alte, auch der Sound klingt beinahe wie vom Vinyl.
Sie waren einst die Vorgruppe von The Beach Boys oder The Kinks. Heute werden sie von Eagles of Death Metal und The Withe Stripes als musikalische Vorbilder genannt. Und obwohl sie sich eigentlich 1968 aufgelöst haben, sind sie nun zurück auf den Bühnen der Welt und nach Konzerten in New York und London erst zum zweiten Mal in der Schweiz am 25.11.12 bei uns in Solothurn

I don't have a fave Italian Garage Rock & Roll band, but The Epileptix are one of my fave Italian Punk bands.
November 17, 2012 11:43 AM CST
I'm not Italian, but I lived in Torino for a year and love the scene over there. Thanks for the info on bands that are new to me.
While not a garage sounding band, 'I Cani' have had constant rotation on my system. And then 'CCCP' is an oldie but goodie.

Hi there,
I'm working on the promotion of the next release on my record label Casbah Records. The band will come to Europe for touring and I need some tips and good names of great magazines, written papers and blogs that i could contact to send the record to.
Of course i'm looking for people who write intelligent reviews and a bit famous and trustworthy
Any good advice ?
Thank you for your help !!

Two one man bands, WASTED PIDO from Venice (It) and SHERIFF PERKINS from Paris (Fr) will be on tour next December 2012.
the music they do is straightforward garage rock n roll influenced by country/rockabilly/blues and fueled with punk/hard core/thrash attitude.
they already shared car and stages in 2009 for COWPUNX FROM HELL tour.
In 2010 they toured France with COWPUNX GOES ZOMBIES gang (this time no movie was produced).
so far, this is the program:
THE BEAST GO EAST
Wasted Pido/Sheriff Perkins on tour 2012
sat 8 – Le Bouchon, Tournai, Belgium
sun 9 – TBA
mon 10 – Bar Des Sports, Montreuil (Paris), France
tue 11 – The London Calling, Bruxelles, Belgium
wed 12 – TBA
thu 13 – Rockgate, Bahnhofstrasse 26, Dornbirn, Austria
fri 14 – Rumpeltum, Sankt Gallen, Switzerland
sat 15 – Agora, Basel, Switzerland
sun 16 – Neuchatel, Switzerland
mon 17 – TBA
tue 18 – TBA
wed 19 – Spunk, Zagreb, Coatia
thu 20 – Vinvokci, Coatia + HARP EXPLOSION TBC
fri 21 – MKC Kombinat, Belgrade, Sebia
sat 22 – TRAFIK KLUB, Budapest, Hungary
sun 23 – Dedalofurioso Busnelli, Dueville – Vicenza, Italy
Like Cowpunx from Hell in 2009, the idea is to give birth to another B/W movie out of this tour.
promoters and weirdo music lovers contact us for gigs on avaliable dates!
sheriff perkins – grind-a-billy one man band from Paris (Fr)

Maybe you should post this in our Europe group.
November 8, 2012 3:00 AM CST
Okay this is a long shot but as there are a bunch of Finns here... Anyone in the Tampere region here up for forming a 80s UK-Trash/Garage band? Think Garage meets Rockabilly. Stuff like Vibes, Sting-Rays, Purple Things, Tall Boys, Cannibals, Mad Daddys, Cramps... I play guitar, so drums are needed, upright-bass(it's gotta be) and a decent vocalist with outgoing stage-personality, but no asshole. If that exists ;-)
