Since my thread on Detroit's great Mortor City bands was such a resounding success I thot I'd continue the fun by presenting more of my love for early grunge -

The Vagrants - w/Leslie West on a Dano Bellzouki (12 string)
Brother Larry West on bass



The Starfires - I really like this



The Preachers - bang your head!



The Guilloteens - too bad it's low volume
BTW, anybody here ever hear of this show Shiveree, was it an East coast thing?



13th Floor Elevators - w/space cadet Roky Erickson, who's back and rocking out even better



The Twilights



The Easybeats



The Sonics - reformed and burnin rubber again today



The Haunted - from Canada



The Sparkles



The Idols - can't forget the fuzz heavy Greeks

Neat band there, markb. Never heard of them.

Here's another good UK example of the genre, The Renegades



There are a ton of hot old garage grunge vids available, way more than we can ever post. :happy

Here's the only Crossfires thing I could find.
I picked up the CD when it came out 10/20? years ago.



The Aussie's had it happening too with The Atlantics



Those unplugged electric guitars were quite the rage back then!

The Black Diamonds

 
The Del-Vetts



From a garage in Mexico - Les Mustangs - Drums



From Toronto - The Paupers (low volume)

An excellent choice for a thread :applause

No dicussion of 60s garage rock is complete without The Monks. For fans of this style of music, their Black Monk Time is a must have album. They were light years ahead of their time.





 
Da goyles had garages and guitars too!
The Luv'd Ones
Check out how Billy Cox looked the guitarist up after Jimi died!



The Standells - more than just Dirty Water



The Moving Sidewalks - can you pick a barely outta peachfuzz Billy G?



I wonder if that's the pink Strat Jimi gave him?



Here's a group that coulda really gone somewhere had they dumped the cover tunes...



Q65



Grandma's Rockers

 
Been reading one of the bio's about AC/DC and they noted a few bands that influenced their eventual direction.

The Loved Ones



Makes me wonder if Iggy got hold of this one long ago...

Freaky pop!



Another cool Aussie band - Masters Apprentice



Back to the good ol' US of A with The Outcasts from San Antone



From Minnisota - The Calico wall



Outta Detroit - Mystic Siva



Macabre, supposedly their only release before becoming Pentagram



The Golden Dawn



The Red Krayola - heavy trippers from lock you up and throw away the key Texas

 
Hey, thanx for the tip. I'm a member but never bother with LFM, maybe in my next lifetime I'll get to it. Meanwhile, I got a new group to check out on YT off that site...

Toronto's The Plague





The Sparrow - John Kay's pre Steppenwolf stuff



It's All Meat



More from Canada with - MG and the Escorts



Quiet Jungle - Toronto



The lyrics take front stage here... The Rovin' Flames



Forgive me, but this would have been really great if someone else hadn't done it already...



In a similar vein, I loved this song as a kid when it came out and never even realised it was the same song when hearing Jimi do it the next year!



I post this only because of the truck these girls are playing on. It's got to be the same stage truck The Grateful Dead and Hendrix famously played on one afternoon in Candlestick Park in '67 and photographed by the late great Jim Marshall. That truck got around! I have these awesome Jimi pix on my walls and am always fascinated by the moment ...hey, I'm easy to please.



Ohhh Canada... King Beezz



Even more from our canuk friends, who knew?!
The Fringe





This is getting rediculous... from Edmonton - The Circle Widens
