JEHU/HOT SNAKES/ETC. UPDATE!
Jon Reis has started up The Night Marchers w/ 2 ex-Hot Snakes, they sound okay.
Based upon the samples I've heard though, I'm quite a bit more excited about Rick Froberg's group Obits.

Here's a rar of the full show sampled on the Obits myspace. Sound quality ain't the greatest, but it's nice to hear the man's voice. And as that guy who shot HGH into Roger Clemens butt would say, It is what it is:

Remember a few pages back when T(H)F upped all those Blank Dogs singles and a few of us jizzed all over them and promised to start a massive thread, etc.? Well here's the full-length. It's awesome. We should start a massive thread. For serious.

Just recently got into this 2007 release and am loving it. Super noisy garage rock fronted by Japanoise legend Masonna.


Acid Eater - Virulent Fuzz Punk A.C.I.D.
http://www.mediafire.com/?24zwmfhlxn1

QUOTE
Imagine the heaviest, most fuzzed out garage rock you've ever heard, now take that and run it through a handful of distortion pedals, a bank of Acid Mothers worthy FX, blast it through a wall of busted old Vox amps, wrap the whole thing in feedback and reverb, and suddenly you're in some alien alternate future where the world is populated exclusively by Japanese noiserock beatniks, who are constantly blasting fuzzed out walls of overblown sixties sounds from their low flying spacecraft...

Imagine if Merzbow remixed your favorite Fuzztones record, or the Stooges released records on PSF and were augmented by some insane drug addled organist with WAY too many amps. Serpentine blues rock riffs, all tangled up with thick warbling organs, the vocals a snarling distorted howl, buried in the mix, and all dubbed out, the drums a crumbling, percussive pound, somehow as in the red as the rest of the instruments, every cymbal crash swallowing up all the other sounds, but it's the riffs, and the organ, and Masonna's wild eyed vocalizing that keep this blacklight space garage party going. Not to mention the killer hooks... Virulent Fuzz Punk A.C.I.D. perfectly captures how intense and freaked out it must be to experience this sound live, super distorted, feedback everywhere, the instruments in your face, the speakers threatening to blow, sweat, blood, spit, a swirling chaotic musical melee, heavy, distorted, fuzzy and funky, wild and woolly, spaced out and gloriously gloriously noisy.

Religious Knives: Deliciousy droney psychedelic rockers from Brookyln.

This is the second record they've put out this year. The first (which I don't have), Resin, is a collection of all their singles. This one is all new material. Shit's gooooood.

very good pyschedelia source, has that morgen album on it as well as some other live recordings. whilst they're not really psychedelic the group sunset rubdown is pretty whimsical and heavily influenced by sunshine pop which i guess is a variant of psychedelia.

I'm really enjoying this album. Myself, I'm a big fan of the singer's voice (Pink Eyes, innit?) This is right in the pack with Life...The Best Game in Town, Krallice, Deathconsciousness and the new Nachtmystium album. The opening and closing tracks, in particular, simply slay me. More folks up in hyah oughta listen.

I much prefer the Jag Love album actually on the Matador tip, but that's largely because I love melodramatic vocals. And it has awesome hooks.

I have this downloaded, havn't listened yet but you guys talking about makes me anxious.

Yeah, I listened to that Fucked Up album a few times this weekend. I like it. Not in love with the thing, but there are definitely some pretty choice cuts on there.

Boss Hog are active again, playing the Melvins-curated ATP thing (UK) in December.

Saw them once, was a bit disappointed. First couple of LPs still sound good though.

Just a note to say RTX have a new album out. It's bizarrely named JJ Got Live RaTX, but isn't live. They will, as the promotional bumph has it, be playing some of these songs at live shows in the future. Har.

Not listened to too much of it yet, but RTX + Maidenesque syncopation + Ultimate Warrior iconography = album of the year.
Ted Falconi
It is a weird title, esp. considering they had to change the name of Western Xterminator to RaTX.
According to Drag City, the new one doesn't come out October. Is it already out over by y'all?

It's October 27th over here (the release date, not todays date. That would be odd...); I got sent a bunch of CDs to review by the distro. Sadly, someone else bagsied RTX for write-up, so I suppose I shall have to go for David Grubbs or Slipstream.

I have heard more than before. It is better than I thought. Way better to these ears than Western Xterminator, which left me slightly empty.* The first song is almost AWK by way of Bikini Kill. I now have three RTX albums and a Trux loaded onto my phoneplayer.

* This could be due to the all-encompassing awesomeness of Transmaniacon, or the fact that I admittedly didn't listen to it enough.

Steel Pole Bathtub

Way back many years ago I was reading, it was either a 'zine or an issue of Thrasher when they did record reviews and I stumbled on a review of this album Butterfly Love by some band called Steel Pole Bathtub. The review said something to the effect that the album was like sitting in the bathroom with a really bad hangover while in the room to the left someone was playing Metal Machine Music and in the room to the right someone was flipping channels between 70's sitcoms and old movies. At the time I didn't know what Metal Machine Music was, but I sure as fuck knew what Metal was (motherfuckin' death Satan and nuclear assraping doncha know). So I went to the closest record shop (35 miles away) and special ordered the LP.

Took forever but it was worth the wait. Over the years I lost it, I think I left it at some girl's house and I never could find it on CD. But thanks to the bird, I got it back, and here it is along with the "Lurch" ep. If y'all like it, I got more.

Butterfly Love, 1989

Can we start a new thread on the original 60s and 70s garage/psych genres? This thread is not cutting it for me. We need more Barbarians, Standells and Remains and less Jay Reatard.

As much as I love Jaytard, I totally agree. Since that Greg Cartwright three-disc radio show thing surfaced a few months back, I've been tracking down a lot of the stuff that was on there and similar stuff. A thread devoted to that would be truly awesome.

I would start it myself but I am fairly new to the genre (having just discovered stuff through the Nuggets box sets). Also I am heading out for 4 days.

One more Steel Pole Bathtub album. I really like these guys.

So in 1995 SPB were picked up by Slash records, they released one really good album called Scars From Falling Down. In 1996 for their next release they wanted to cover the Cars' debut in its entirety. Slash said no, and they also deemed the other cemo tracks the band submitted as unlistenable. So they stopped releasing albums for a while. In 2002 they were finally able to release the album, now titled Unlistenable.

Couple bands here to mention. Both are actively touring and putting out new music:

Black Lips

Wrong Crowd

Very similar to each other, and the second one there I only know of because my record label is putting out an EP with them sometime in the coming months. So check those two bands out... it's good stuff, and falls under the garage/psych category.

are you guys familiar with brimstone howl? they're from my neck of the woods, good garagey stuff...new album is produced by jim diamond who i'm sure you guys probably are more familiar with than i am...

I've heard a bit of Brimstone Howl. Not enough to form much of an opinion on them. As for Jim Diamond... I can't count the amount of times I've heard from a shitty band wanting to have a record put out and saying "Jim Diamond recorded a few songs for us". It's like the standard lie people put on their resume, haha. I guess it's true a lot of the time, but it doesn't seem to correlate to quality.

Pavermet Ist Rad just told me that Flipper is re-releasing all most of their great old albums (Generic, Gone Fishin, Public Flipper Limited, and the odds and sods Sex Bomb Baby (not American Grafishy, nuts to THAT)), so you all should buy those when they come out.
Pavement Ist Rad
Is American Grafishy good at all? I always assumed it was some sort of massive disappointment, but now that I think about it, it is music by dudes from Flipper (!!!!) and probably has some monster riffs and rocks real hard.
Ted Falconi
Yes, being music by dudes from Flipper, it is basically GREAT. Allow me a few hours/days to put my cd in my computer and do all that stuff to make it into mp3s and send it to you. I also have some recent live recordings that indicate that Flipper is even now, still the fourth best band of all time.

Also: will these reissues be hittin' the vinyl circuit?
Pavement Ist Rad
It says "all formats." So yes.

These are like, my top four most anticipated reissues ever. Amazing news, really.

I'm going to guess that Falconi's other three are Hanoi Rocks, The Minutemen, and Royal Trux. Who knows, really.

Public Flipper Ltd. is about 2/3 songs that aren't on the two previous albums, so I think it qualifies as a 'real' album, even though it is a collection of in-concert recordings.
