    • in the good old days like the '60s and '80s garage was what it was beacause the axes (the much neglected fender jaguar a prime example), the amps (silvertone 1483 anyone?) and your pedals (like the beautiful mosrite fuzzrite) where cheap as hell, what happened?

    • The constant 'drummer problem' I've noticed, is the 'can't remember wich song is wich by the title only'. The not showing up, or just can't, or don't feel like syndrome is wide spread.

    • I was a student at Moravian College when I saw for the first time the Creatures and Mark Smith at the Funhouse. Most of the people there remember me as "Thanos", friend of Blythe Evans and Yanni Kakoulas. Mark Smith's music and style was my first experience with garage rock and psychedelic rock in general. His music and persona will remain an influence for the rest of my life as a music composer. Thank you Mark, I will always remember you!

    • Hi, Zane - 

      I live near Detroit in a city called Ypsilanti (which is a small college town attached to Ann Arbor). Detroit is about a 30 minute drive away, but our "region" is always called the "greater Detroit area" because we are all lumped together in the same "scenes". 

      I am not sure how healthy or how musically active Niagara is, but she still has a presence, mostly in the visual arts scene. Like I said, it shouldn't be too difficult to find out more about her current status on the web. 

      Bookies is still around, but not the way you remember it (and it isn't the same version: it is a new construction that is pretty nice, but not the same old club; people still speak fondly of the "legendary" Bookie's; here is a link to the new one: http://www.bookiesbar.com/, it is more of a sports bar and pretty douche-y. This is the one you are thinking of: http://www.bookiesclub870.com/)

      I play in bands and stuff but I am not the KK of Trudi and KK. Would you mind explaining the story there?

      thanks, great chatting with you, 

      KK

      Thanks for responding to my question about Destroy All Monsters! I'm so glad to hear Niagara is doing well and is still active on the scene. She was SO thin back then we were always waiting for her to just fall over... I haven't been to Detroit in years but I always loved it. I know it's kinda farfetched but the club "Bookies" wouldn't happen to still be there would it? Also, do you live in Detroit or somewhere else? I only ask because of your name KK. Just thought you might be the K.K. of Trudi and K.K......

    • more punk than garage but ,the adverts one hit wonders "i wonder what well play for you to night/somthing heavy or somthing light/somthing to set your soul alight/and i what well do when you say/we dont like you go away" beast of a song.

    • Wow! Kopper really hit the nail on the head with all those bands!!! I've never heard of Magazine so I'll have to check them out.

      I totally still enjoy some of that old goth-y stuff. I booked a show with Peter Murphy a few months ago and he was awesome. It was so great to see some of the old Bauhaus classics live.

    • well the sonics used power chords but stuff like gloria is proper chord

      on th subject real chords sound more garage it depend ie A7 sounds garagy the way i play it but other voicings less so ,also g open is very un garagy
