Thanks Derf, I thought I was hearing things.

hi guys I was listening to Momento 60 radio on the net today and heard an alternate Pushin' too Hard by The Seeds. it sounded like the original backing track , drums, organ and rhythm guitar were the same but definitely a different vocal and lead guitar. Excuse my ignorance if this is common...

Great one Harvestman!!! never heard it, got all the awesome elements.

thanks for your replies guys, just trying to get a handle on this subject, as i think it may put a whole different spin on my understanding of 1950s/60s live performance of rock n roll. through 20 years experience of playing in bands the difference in my enjoyment and quality of playing/singing...

hi everyone, hope I'm in the right forum for this question. But I want to ask what type of PA systems were used by garage bands in the 1960s and what were they like? I don't mean this as a technical question with impedance and voltage concerns, but as a way to further my understanding of what...

I appear to have opened a can of worms with this post!!! Thanks for your input everyone, I guess I was just trying to find out what happened between end of the era of great 60s rock before the coming of another guitar based, energetic basic rock n roll form called "punk". What the " bar band "...

I just heard a great jangle pop that would fit perfectly with a these mentioned above. Paul Messis' song " the problem with me", jiminy crib!!!! what a ridiculously fantastic song, made my week probably my month!!!

Thanks guys for your input, i always wondered about that era , it sounds like basic rock went into one of its frequent hibernations in these years. Maybe the Doug Sahm produced Louie and the Lovers, even Emmitt Rhodes, are the style of band i'm thinking of , and I wonder why there was no...

Thanks Guys for your quick thoughtful replies, i understand what you mean about pressure to play progressive music, i played professionally in a band for the first time in 1994, and we wanted to play similar "garagey" type rock of our heroes like the Hoodoo Gurus, Mondo Rock, The sTEMS and...

This one makes me cry and grin like an idiot at the same time, " There's a Flower Shop" by The Paradox, those harmonies, the overt emotion and jangle out the wazoo!!! http://youtu.be/Doluf1rZKvc

Hi All, thought I'd pick some brains on here. i've always wondered what happened to garage bands after the 60s rock explosion ( say 1963-69) and the start of punk - new wave (1976-79). Ive read alot of histories of 1960s garage and 1970s punks, and the stories of small garage bands are...
