I have two tickets to the gories show on 7/17, but only need one since I'm going by myself.  Anyone have a place I could crash?  After I figure out travel expenses to get there, I probably won't be able to afford a hotel or even a motel, just want to get into town on friday or saturday, see the show and then bounce.  In exchange, one free ticket for you.  I'm a relatively normal, sane, 26 year old from Portland, just trying to get this trip done on a budget.  Give me a shout if you can help out.  thanks!

Yeah, this was pretty big news on the old GaragePunk Forums message board back when it happened. Tragic loss. Great band.

does anyone remember this band or their tragic story?

#9 Teen Jangler Blowout featuring the incredible "I'll Be In" by the Answer!

I work in an alternative clothing and music merchandise store and I have the privelage of blasting music out all day. Fortunately as i'm in charge, I get to play music from my collection.

I play bands like The Beguiled, The Cramps, The Staggers, Bloodshot Bill, old school rockabilly and surf every day. Of course, I play the GP Podcasts too and I often get people commenting to me that they like my store because we always play such unusual music and it creates such a cool vibe. And when they ask me, "Hey, who is this band you're playing?", I get a pen and paper and jot down the GP web address and tell them to check us out.

I guess it's not that I "feel the need" to spread the wealth... I'm just lucky enough to play what I want. I think everyone digs savage rock 'n' roll - they just don't know it yet!

Hey, real quick...

I'm regretting TWISTED SISTER or WASP..(I saw both them live when I was Kid :D ..shame on me!)

I don't know....I think it's funnier when it's Hocus Pocus by Focus.

What in the FUCK are you guys talking about?

These guys are awesome! HEAVY METAL! YEAH! GRRRRRRRR! SCARY! I'M THE DEVIL!!!

Supercharger are geniuses. They just play bad.

The Cramps-Like a bad girl should

I about shat in my sleeping bag when I saw this.
I also rewound and was in disbelief.

But I felt giving a certain writer of the song a huge congrats. I love my bunnys

Oh geez...I saw these fella's play last year with the Prmitivas and a couple of other bands at the pre-party gig for Budget Rock. They played at The Eagle Tavern, San Francisco's legendary leather bear bar...it was...a trip?

Actually, it was pretty cool as the Eagle regularly hosts Thursday Night Live, with such bands as Thee Oh Sees, the Fresh & Onlys, Mayyors, Hunx and his Punx, etc., during which most of the regular clientele pretty much skips out and the place fills in with scene kids digging these fun bands. It was still a trip though, the inside of the Eagle is really...interesting...whatever floats yer boat, but yeah it was different, fer sure.

haven't seen it yet but that's bizarre!

hey jumpy, i covet some of your records!

howie, i WILL battle you! also, please reply to my email about the illuminoids!

It's true. I wish I could mix it up like Joe does, but I can't.

and modest, too!

no, i am...

and while you might never have the skills i possess, i just started my own label so hopefully you can have some of the best records ever made for djing and come as close to knockin' 'em dead at your next party like i do at mine.

woohoo!

Grinding isn't dancing though, unless you consider lapdancing dancing. Maybe kids today aren't going to bother with cool sixties styles (by the way, those Land of 1000 Dances sound like they'll be great) but maybe showing Grease and Footloose to teenagers isn't a bad idea. The problem though is that they don't want to listen to anything besides monotonous Jay-Z music. DammitDave said:

Schools banning lesbians and grinding!?! Have we learned nothing from Footloose? Actually I've never seen it. Maybe it's closer to Dirty Dancing? Flashdance? Fame...umm...Some Kind Of Wonderful? All not seen by me so I'm taking wild guesses here.

Grease? By the way, re: the subject of this discussion, get these comps: Land of 1000 Dances Vol. 1 Land of 1000 Dances Vol. 2 DammitDave said:

i tottally understand, and perscribe to that view. but you made realized what i was really talking about. there is a moment in life, specially when we are very young, and you haven't listened or seen so many stuff, and you can trully think somethings as amazing and the best ever. i still remember what i used to think was the best guitar player, or the best riff, the best five seconds in a song, etc because there is sort of a mythological feeling around those people and those sounds that makes you feel that those minutes were just untouchable.
