hey boss! How u today! Yeah i was down in South Queensferry, dont know why, but i actually miss it, all my older friends left for Cali, and surrounding areas, some went to Michigan, so i guess i had to leave too.. These people gave me my first taste of music, i mean like 25 years back, a real mountain of sounds, and most of the usual stuff u all talk about, but as diverse as lefty frizzell, some pre 65 avant garde, lots of acid sounds, mod of course, and the beat thing.. We have a great scene out here now though, the Mummies played a wee while back.. And the scene here is hot anyway..

Yep! ye can't beat the Butthole surfers. Later stuff is excellent too. one of the only bands that still have my full undivided attention after soooo many years. 'Lady Sniff' always raises a smile.

Heaps of stuff, but lately The Black Jaspers, Adolescents, lots of the podcasts, Voidoid's, The beguiled, Butthole Surfers early stuff... yeah, heaps of stuff.

The Cramps, The Mummies, The Sonics, Oblivians, The Gories and many more !

oh Hell...you know, the usual suspects. but I'll add BLUE CHEER, SWAMP RATS, MUSIC MACHINE,FUZZTONES, LORDS OF ALTAMONT and HAUNTED GEORGE.

dare I say it? ;)

I know this is going to sound dumb, but I just discovered this band thanks to the Yum Yums. I saw the Yum Yums at Gooski's here in Pittsburgh last year in March, and I bought a copy of their latest CD. The last track on the CD is a song called "Earthquake Song," and it's a live track in which the Little Girls join the Yum Yums on stage. This song was released in 1983, but somehow I missed it. I guess I was too busy listening to Quiet Riot's cover of "Cum on Feel the Noize" at the time to take notice.

BTW, I know it was over a year ago when I first heard this song, and I meant to look up this band sooner, but I just kept forgetting about it. I get easily sidetracked. Now I'm friends with them on myspace.

Additionally, I have Little Steven to thank for this, in a very long, roundabout way. Little Steven got me into Vibeke Saugestad, which in turn got me into the Yum Yums, and now the Yum Yums helped me to discover the Little Girls.

hi, i will try! thanks so much!! whatwave dave said:

Probably The Slickee Boys out of Washington DC area.....think that was on one of the Midnight Christmess LP's (on Midnight Records outta NYC) that came out in the late 80's/early 90's. Might also have been on one of their LP's.

This went for girlschool? Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

I always thought of them as a heavy metal Runaways.

Again, agreed. Too "hard rock" for my tastes... reminds me of Pat Benatar or Heart. Gimme the early Pandoras any day over this. Rockin Rod Strychnine said:

No! Camden and the High Roads, a Kilburn tribute act, haha. No malice taken mate. keep it punk!!!

That'll be Kilburn and the High Roads then ;-))))))))))))))) no malice meant my friend just being a punk pedant

Think The Ding Dongs have been around for a little while...but with BBQ and Bloodshot Bill on the road most of the time they probably rarely cross paths. Check Mongrel Zine 8 for more info... Rinjo Njori said:

Doubtful... I think BBQ saw this coming and enlisted Bloodshot Bill as his new wingman. Notice how the Ding Dongs is a full album but Tandoori Knights is two songs? JK

perhaps this will mean a Les Sexareenos return???

"Makin' Deals" by The Satans or "So What" by The Lyrics both come to mind pretty quick. Oh, "Go On Leave" by Red Beard and the Pirates is another one.

Kopper I am ready to Review..

Kopper I am ready to Review..

Hi there!

Recently I've been thinking about buying a second guitar, and from the looks I fell in love with the Danelectro 59, the Dead on 67 or the Squier Jagmaster (since I'll never be able to afford the Jazzmaster).

Now my problem is that I don't really know how those guitars would change the sound I'm using. I play an old Fender Squier thingy (as can be seen here: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=405704319&albumID=1638533&imageID=24014130), a 10€ Behringer Blues Overdrive (with the gain on one third max) and a Dean Markley Mini Stack Amp (as can be seen here: http://monsterpawn.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3&products_id=176). I only use the neck pickup on my guitar, so it doesn't sound too fat and solid, but rather cheap and semi-distorted.
As an addition I use a Guv'nor by Marshall for solo boost and this little yellow tremolo by Danelectro. You can listen to the results (and to the sound I like) on our profile here.

Now I'm (or rather our drummer is) afraid that buying a better guitar will change my sound from garage to "rock" or something, from deliberately cheap to professional or whatever.

So, does anyone have any experiences with those guitars? I hear that Danelectro guitars lack bass in favour of a more twangy sound, and that the Jagmaster only has two humbuckers (that should be changed to single coils or to splitable humbuckers for my sound), but, honestly, I have no idea and am not at all into technics but rather into just playing.

The reasons why I want to get another guitar (besides another guitar just looking cooler on my belly) are, well, having another guitar to change it when a string breaks during a show, and this damn fucking Floyd Rose tremolo system on my old one, that just sucks and is way too complicated to handle for the primitive music I make (way back in the metal days it may have been cool, but now...).

Thanks for any advice, opinion, comment, help!

Cheers, Doc Sanchez
