What is Sixties Garage?

[The Phantom]

basically, german culture has been crippled and killed nearly a century ago, especially by the third reich, the conformist nazi-movement (starting in the republic of weimar) and the killing of the entire jewish population. people may think that hitler is history, but sadly the effects of his insanity are very obvious today. germany has been a cultural wasteland ever since.

german 60s "garage" music is like painting-by-numbers or a bob ross painting.

You must be out of your mind I am a German, so don't you dare posting shit like this

John Lennon: "We left Liverpool as BOYS and returned from Hamburg as MEN". Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

What's your point here ? Doing these comps in the 80's in Germany doesn't say anything about german bands in the 60's . BTW those comps are also pretty pedestrian and those SF comps should have been called Bay Area instead and even then the Tears and the New Breed were from Sacramento......

When in doubt quote from Fawlty Towers.

The NEW BREED were from Sacramento but the TEARS lived on Travis Air Force base which is in Fairfield, 1/2 way between Sacramento and S.F. Alec Palao has a bunch of killer unreleased TEARS tracks coming out sometime in the next year.

Definitely looking forward to those unreleased tracks !

My Sacramento locale confirm came directly from Alec and Joey D several years ago.

Sorry Mikey...we gave you the wrong skinny. The fact that they recorded at Ikon, sang backup on the OXFORD CIRCLE 45 (also recorded at Ikon) slept in the backroom at Ikon, and played Sacto. alot, made us believe that they were from Sacto. But we located the band after the Scorpio Story cd came out and found out that they were Air Force brats living on Travis.

Goodbye, I'm out of here. Too many idiots like you find in every group floating the net.
Hasta la Vista.

CAN Monster Movie is great!!!

This 3LP set captures the band in full flight early on, with plenty of Mother Sky flavor:

The music coming out of early 70s Germany was the most revolutionary and unique of any country. While Britain was going 'symphonic' prog, hard rock and glam and America was going back to the farm, going cock rock or being sensitive SSW, Germany was forging a new sound taking psychedelia to other dimensions. I appreciate 'krautrock' may be outside the tastes of many board members but in the early 70s Germany had arguably the most creative and imaginative rock scene in the western world.

With the exception of Faust this is the only post 60's German band I've ever attained any traction with:



They released a few worthwhile LPs post Monster Movie, though post Damo I've little interest in them.

Please post a germane example.

This lineup delivered the goods during their brief time together.

Appears to have taken over from where the Detroit '66 sound left off. An interesting mix of retro and avant-garde with a contemporary rock opera theme.
