I have been through many fuzz tone boxes over the years. Currently I use two on my pedal board. First is a Boss Hyperfuzz in the second setting which delivers a huge abrasive fuzz sound that is very thick with a lot of bottom end ala early Black Sabbath or early Fu Manchu. The second is a early 70's Ibanez Wau Fuzz which has been very beat up. None of the tone knobs work however the fuzz is blistering like an asthmatic mosquito and the wah is a low octave bass range number that delivers a very warped out sweep. Instead of the "wee-ahh" sound you get from a Crybaby it is more "woo-owww" If I punch the wah pedal while either fuzz is on pushing it all the way into the high frequency it acts as a boost and provides a brain-melting fuzz that is pretty punishing. I play an SG with a Rio Grande P-90 "fat bastard" pick-up and run it into an Orange Tiny Terror that drives a Marshall 4x10 and a Avatar 2X12. Its a relatively compact set up that is perfect for any of the club show we play.

Those of you who've heard the "Heart So Cold" and "Cry Of Atlantis" compilatons, will know the Thunderbolts and Vistas... check out the Vistas pix and the Galaxies pix (Thunderbolts pix are in that album) at this site: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewAlbums&friendID=287891453 Billy Yantz was in the Galaxies and then joined the Vistas, after their Melbourne 45s, but he's got pix of the Vistas from the era when they were doing originals for Melbourne... the pix of the Thunderbolts are priceless...

Mongrel Zine is a 8 ½ x 11" print zine with a solid 40 plus pages o' art and garage rock plus rekkid reviews and more... based outta Vancouver. Mongrel Zine #3 is 48 pages of hipping ya to Rick Trembles, Mark Sultan/BBQ, The Tranzmitors, The Pointed Sticks, Bloodshot Bill, Oily Chi, The Stolen Minks, we meet Defektors, plus music reviews, live reviews, drawings, Make-A-Match, and more! BUY ONLINE AT www.bobscottartwork.ca/mongrelzine.html We'll also have zines for sale at the PARALLELS and DEAD GHOSTS show presented by HEY SOUL CLASSICS at The Astoria this Friday, August 15 in Vancouver.

Some pics and a quick blurb I wrote about 'em up @ Smashin' Transistors http://smashintransistors.homestead.com/readiesmagicroche.html

Right now I'm reading "The Stranglers: Song By Song", an interview-style account of every Stranglers record ever recorded as commented by Hugh Cornwell. Frankly, it was a toss-up between this and the "Golden Brown" autobiography and I chose this because I'd rather hear him talk about his music than his childhood. There's still a lot of band and personal history discussed in the book, and I think Jim Drury did a good job steering the conversation towards all the interesting facets of the band's work.

Thanks, appreciate it.

Well, I do -- sort of

the Inclusions were from Minneapolis, and as far as I know only released the one self-released 7 inch with Un-American Activity and a song called Russian Youth on the B-side. It's a pretty uncelebrated record, and I don't know how rare exactly, but pretty damn rare.

Does anyone have info on the Inclusions from Killed by Porn #41 (?)?

I'm friends with Gregg Turner, former Angry Samoan. He told me years ago that The Troggs was one of his first big influences. I've heard him do a real nice "Love is All Around." Rosa said:

recently a young employee of the hip local record store asked me to get him up to speed with 60s garage (he's a local big honcho in the grindcore scene) - i have to say i was pretty taken aback - what a nice compliment! well since he has all the records he wants at his disposal, i told him to start with this: the troggs.

now he's got the fever and we email back and forth on a daily basis. just today he sent an frantic note, incredulous that i hadn't told him about "99th floor" by the moving sidewalks (we are in zz top country, afterall). of course i apologized profusely! ha!

"Garage Nazis" is a scary concept. But I know what you mean.

Song's are good too! http://ratbike.org/motorcycho/cgi/songs.php I'm looking to frame up some LP's for my shop so I need some cool art work.

"Bad motorcycle" by The Crestones a good rocker complete with motorcycle sound effects!

That a sweet page, but what about songs sans motorcycle covers, like "Motorbikin" by Chris Spedding?

Anyone got a list of motorcycle records like Davie Allan & the Arrows, Wild Angels sound track... Here's one: http://ratbike.org/motorcycho/7/

Fuzz,

Yep, count me in.

Smashman

If enough people are interested, (and if there's a slot available...) i'd like to do an instrumental podcast on a regular basis. I know we have the occasional Surfcast already, but i'd like to do a regular show featuring nothing but instro, and most Rock n Roll styles from the 50s up until now - so i'd be featuring some surf but more....

To give you an idea i would be featuring people like Link Wray, Lonnie Mack, Duane Eddy, The Ventures, The Shadows, the Spotnicks, bands from comps like Planetary Pebbles (Surfbeat Behind the Iron Curtain), the 60s / surf era right up to bands like Los Straitjackets, Laika and the Cosmonauts and current.

If you are interested in hearing such a podcast, reply to this post and if i get enough interest I will put together a "pilot" podcast and submit it to the powers that be..

Regards

Fuzzmeister

That's a tough one. It might be worth checking with Jack Charles at Phantom guitar works in case you haven't already. Good luck. Post back if you locate them!
