What really sucks, though, is that Feathered Apple deleted their account here because of this stupid bullshit. As hard as it is to actually get people to COME HERE and use this site (and keep them coming back), it kills me to see people actually leave the site because of a little flamewar over the Chesterfield Kings, for fuck's sake. Take that as a lesson to watch what you say or post publicly about certain band members and other people involved with the scene. Posting that you've "heard stories" about people isn't cool... this he-said/she-said crap doesn't belong here. Other folks reading this site may very well be close friends of theirs and will take it very personally. Remember the Golden Rule, gang, and put the shoe on the other foot... how would you like it if someone posted something like this about one of your friends on another message board that they "heard stories" that your friend was an asshole or whatever... you wouldn't like it, either. So let's avoid this kinda crap here, please. Thank you.

Just "Jessie's Girl"? Did'nt Aldo Nova and Donny Iris break big in that year , too?
KIDDING ASIDE , It's so hard to nail it down to one year , but , someone said these things happened in 10 year intervals -
1956 - Rock'n'Roll (Though hardly new.) is at it's peak.
1966 - Garage Punk and early Psych peaks.
1976 - US and UK Punk BUSTS OPEN WIDE , with Western Europe , Canada , Australia , etc. right at their heels.
That's not to discount the importance of the years '54 , '55 , '64 , '65 , OR '77 , or The Postwar Blues and R'n'B , some of which we might as well call Rock'n'Roll (Wynonie Harris , Big Joe Turner , Amos Milburn , The Treniers , Louis Jordan , Johnny Otis and Louis Prima.), because Rockin is Fuckin'.

Sorry about that (the above) -- the forum app seems to have froze up.
I'm 65. Does that make me the old man of this forum? Been playing since around `60 or `61, in my first band by at least `62 -- actually a two many duo called, appropriately enough, the Bi-Tones.
The Bi-Tones morphed into a series of short lived but locally successful bands until in 1964 we found the right combination as The Abstracts. By May of that year we were in the studio and in 1965 our classic recording "Always Always" was released.
This past November all of our studio stuff (and a couple of live tracks) were released on a fine LP "Hey, Let's Go Now!" (http://www.break-a-way.de/bands/abtracts.html)
All the living members of the band, btw, are still making music. Too old indeed! :D

OH , GAHD! NOT WATER DAMAGE ! THAT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY....IF IT DID'NT MAKE MY EYES ALL DRY AND PUFFY , SOMETIMES , I WOULD , TOO.

Yeah, I actually have the first and the third, but not the second one. I thought ten was a bit salty, especially given the condition it was in. I actually didn't even look at the vinyl it's self as the cover had seem splits, water damage or something of the sort.

i JUST SAW THAT PRESS RELEASE , YESTERDAY , TOO. I FOUND THAT SAME LP , "LOS JOHNNY JETS A GO GO" AT ANTONE'S RECORDS IN AUSTIN IN THE 90'S. IT'S ALSO GOT A GREAT VERSION OF "EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT" , BY THE MOJOS , IN SPANISH , AS WELL AS A COOL SENDUP OF "GET OFF MY CLOUD".
The Fleshtones were/are very good at finding offbeat stuff like that and incorporating it into their own sound (Mercifully , though , they've only done one Gay Disco song *. ). I saw Peter Zaremba perform as a guest vocalist with Los Straitjackets in 2002. He was doing all The Mexican Rock'n'Roll songs , and his phrasing in Spanish was very good.
* My comment about Gay Disco was'nt meant to be percieved as anti - Gay. Just anti -annoying as Hell music. Thank you.

always happy to see new Fleshtones tunes!

Just received this press release from their record company:
.........................................................
Yep Roc Records is pleased to announce the release of the latest effort by garage rock band, The Fleshtones, titled Los Fleshtones Quatro x Quatro on August 21. The four song EP was recorded in Spain in February of 2010 and includes four songs recorded in Spanish. The EP will be released on vinyl and digital only. In addition to the new recordings, The Fleshtones will be playing the upcoming Yep Roc 15 celebration in October in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Recorded last February while on tour in Gijon, Spain, the album was co-produced by longtime friend of the band and former member of the Spanish rock sensation Dr. Explosion, Jorge Muñoz-Cobo Gonzalez. Finally taking Gonzalez up on his offer to record in his studio with vintage gear, they recorded the EP with little time to spare.
“The story of this record goes way back to our original bass player, Marek Pakulski, finding a bunch of albums including ‘Los Johnny Jets A Go Go’ in the trash in front of Joey Ramone’s Lower Eastside tenement one night in 1977, ” says Fleshtone Peter Zaremba. “Johnny Jets were a typical Mexican ’60s rock and roll group -covering top-ten hits of the time like ‘Wooly Bully’ in Spanish with varying degrees of competence — just the thing to appeal to The Fleshtones. Rather than the Spanish language versions of overly-familiar tunes like ‘Hang On Sloopy’, what really caught our ears were two more-or-less original tracks ‘No Tengo Dinero’ and ‘Todos Queremos A Lupe’ (which seemed to at least be inspired by Johnny Thunder’s 1962 hit ‘Loop De Loop’). We decided we would record these two songs ourselves as soon as possible. If nothing else, The Fleshtones are good for their word!”
Often tagged as garage rock revivalists, The Fleshtones mix the fuzz guitar and Farfisa organ sounds of that genre with rockabilly, ’50s and ’60s R&B, and surf into a potent retro stew the group likes to call “super rock.” The group formed in 1976 in Queens, NY with vocalist/keyboardist Peter Zaremba, guitarist Keith Streng, bassist Jan Marek Pakulski, and drummer Bill Milhizer and aimed to return rock & roll to the simplicity and unselfconsciousness of the ’50s and early ’60s.
Los Fleshtones Quatro x Quatro Track Listing:
1. Llevo Un Tigre En Mi Guitar
2. No Tengo Dinero
3. Todos Queremos A Lupe
4. Acero e Iman
The Fleshtones Tour Dates:
June 21 – Bowery Electric, New York, NY TICKETS
June 22 – Dogfish Head Brewery, Rehoboth Beach, DE INFO
June 23- North Star Bar, Philadelphia, PA TICKETS

I'd say any list of "Bad Gurl" songs needs to include "All Women Are Bad". Ivy said the group was accused of sexism for releasing the , obviously tongue - in - cheek , song , even though SHE wrote it ! I'd say "Like a Bad Girl Should" , but that's almost playful (Esp. if you've seen the video. ).
Alex said:
Maybe I'm being too literal, but what about "All Women Are Bad" by the Cramps?
Also, anything by the Donnas. Those girls were trouble! I've always liked "It's on the Rocks."We're over, I'm done
Yeah, it's time to have some real fun
So I'm callin' all my ladies
We're gonna key your Mercedes
[Chorus]
Well, you're the kinda guy
Who needs attention around the clock
Well you can't even talk
'Cause baby, it's on the rocks
Yeah, it's on the rocks
Well it's me you gotta detox
'Cause baby, it's on the rocks!
Your luvin's like a car crash
You're gone and I got whiplash
You're a stain I can't get out
I tried bleach and I tried Shout!
I apologize for all the noise
I just had to tell all the boys
That you'd rather have a Mai Tai
Then a tall glass of Bud Dry
[Chorus]
It's on the rocks
(echo)It's on the rocks
Yeah, it's on the rocks
(echo)Yeah, it's on the rocks
It's on the rocks
(echo)It's on the rocks
Baby, it's on the rocks

Nice. The Potatoes , a MALE group , covered it , too, around the same time The Cramps released their version. The Potatoes , based in Dallas , were an offshoot of the original Shitty Beatles. Anyone else using the name , now , only does because of the joke in "Wayne's World", released at least 5 years after the Shitty Beatles started. I do know how they came to use it , too.....BFD , I know.

"Get Off The Road", the theme from the Herschell Gordon Lewis film "She Devils On Wheels", is a trash classic about "maneaters on motorbikes". It's been covered by both The Cramps (after the "Girl on a Motorcycle" trailer in the vid below) and The Lunachicks.
