24 Hour Garage
Posted by jimmyshoes01 on 20 May 2011 - 8:51pm.
I have been listening to a lot of 60s/ 70s garage rock and psych from America to Indonesia lately and I am having a blast.
It all started about ten years ago when Mr Lester Bangs introduced me to Count Five and from there I visited Lenny Kaye for his pure Nuggets and haven't stopped since.
I am currently grooving to these mad monkeys, what are the Massive's garage rock musts?
(Also, are there any good books about on the subject??)

Superb
I hadn't heard that - that's riotous!
In a similar vein, I'm a big fan of Gary US Bonds' 'I Wanna Holler But The Town's Too Small':
It's not quite as feral as the Monks, but still wonderful!
24 Hour Garage you say?
*QI Klaxon sounds*
I'll have...
two scotch eggs and a jar of Marmite...
Brilliant. :)
Position of ignorance
What is this "garage rock" of which you speak?
'Tis not a genre with which I am familiar... Seriously - I liked the sound of it, but I'm coming from a place of complete knowing nothingness
Garage Rock
Try this. It's the motherlode: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuggets:_Original_Artyfacts_from_the_First_...
Another Nuggets Classic
Monk Time
There's a good documentary about The Monks, The Transatlantic Feedback. This should give you a flavour.
Not of course
to be confused with these guys...
And of course we all know who the Monks 'really' were :-)
I won't get hung up on definitions...
To my ears this qualifies - The Trashmen with Surfin' Bird.
The Sonics
