I don't own any, but I've heard from several people in recent years that they're very good quality axes. Definitely good enough for playing garage trash!

Anyone out there own a guitar from this company? The shapes are real garage inspired rockers. Airline (Jack White), Hi-Fyer (Kurt Cobain) and Mosrite guitars shapes like the ones played by The Ventures and Johnny Ramone. They start at $399.00 but don't go over $1000.00. They get great reviews but I would like to hear form one of you! They also have a cool website.

BUDGET ROCK!!

Howdy,

Haven't logged on it a bit, so pardon if this has already been discussed (didn't see a thread). Budget Rock 9 is going down at the end of October with Oblivians, Reigning Sound, Jack O, and Cococoma all headlining shows. (We're playing, too!)

I assume a lot of locals are attending, but is anyone planing on traveling out for this one? I'm pretty excited to see some bands and play at the Parkside again. It's been three years since I moved out of the Bay and played my last show there. Hope to see you out!

DICK SCUM!! (Armitage Shanks)

No one mentioned El Duce. They got Sickie Wifebeater but then from that same band you have Heathen Scum, Moose Dick & later Insect on Acid. Three of my personal favorites have always been Fester Swollen of the Rotters, Olga of the Toy Dolls & Robert Omlit of The Omlits & Several Pamelas. Alan Creed said:

Thanks Dave. They sure gave a great show in Santa Fe. I'm looking forward to the Cincinatti sessions too -- also reissue of the first album on Ace Records, supposedly by the end of the year. whatwave dave said:

Great interview/article!!

I can still remember when i first played that very first Barrence Whitfield and the Savages LP...BLEW ME AWAY!!! Absolutely nobody was doing anything even remotely like that at the time!!!

We didn't get to see Barrence until 1988 when he first came up to Canada....not quite the same, but still a CRAZY man on stage!! And a GREAT guy to hang out with too!! He was into all of the same crazy music that we were into!

It's great to hear that he's gonna be recording w/Peter Greenburg and Phil Lenker cause that was the ULTIMATE lineup of the band!! OW OW OW!!!

YUP! Loved the first BANANAS! annabananarchy said:

Picked up the first issue of Bananas Magazine at Academy a couple of months ago. Dug it, hope they press more issues soon. http://www.facebook.com/#!/bananasmagazine?ref=ts

Yeah yeah! plus their inclusion of CD's is a great way to get some life out of it as well. estefania said:

Interesting. Yeah, that probably means they had a lot of RSVPs that didn't pick up their wristbands. Sara said:

I just saw that they were re-opening the RSVP process. Does this mean that the number of RSVPs hasn't surpassed expectations yet? Or is this standard procedure for Scion? I RSVPed for Portland last year but ended up not going.... See you all in a few days!!

Right On Mathew, Looks like you are coming all the way from Norfolk, NE. Far Out! Matthew Nykodym said:

I will be attending both days and on the day of Garagefest be wearing a bright orange shirt that says "CREEP" on it so say hello if you see me.

Sounds good! My thought is that since this festival is indeed FREE, a bunch of folks most likely signed up not knowing if they were really going to make it or not. I'm curious to see how many people actually picked up the wristbands and show up. If we do need to stay in one place though, which one should it be?

You'll be pleasantly surprised, Ryan. Lawrence is a VERY cool town. Also very liberal, too. Not only because it's a college town, but because of its history (read up on Quantrill's raiders and the Lawrence Massacre some day). Ever since then, Lawrence was an oasis for free thought (William S. Burroughs lived there, after all). Gina and I loved living there. Only moved away due to job situations. I'd move back in a heartbeat.
Ruby, shoot me a message and I'll send you our cell numbers.

Yeah, I don't have that fancy stuff on my phone. Would you guys think there is a good chance that things won't be that crazy as far as attendance is concerned? I don't know shit about Kansas, but I have pre-conceived notions hahaha.

sorry * but the Stones and the Who have absolutly nothing in common!!!!! Stampy said:

I liked the early Stones. My favorite is probably, "Get Off of My Cloud" "Gimme Shelter" and "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" Pretty good too, tho, I have never really been a Stones Fan or even The Who for that matter. Played out.

Just to digress a little I've been told by a member of Derek's Accent that their music style was heavily based on The Who. Makes sense when you think about it!

Question is... when will "that dude" do more episodes of Wild Wild Sound?!!
