"Doctor Goldfoot and his bikini machine got me out
of my mind crawling up the wall in a psychotic
reaction..."
Dutch garage beat outfit I couldn't find any info on. Although it sounds like it's 1985 it's a 90s recording, on Pornogram, a label from Utrecht. Undoubtedly their best song. See also vol 40.
The sleeve reads "Out of mind" and the label reads "Out of time". It's from their first recording session in 1987. Frontman Bob Urh and bass player Tara McMunn later also formed Zero Child. A Tryptic Records release.
Second 45 by one of my fave Dutch bands from the tedious 90s. Dave, Donald, Pete and Martin were genuine beat heroes from Rotterdam. Their sound was raw and loud fuzz punk; they didn't mind it was 1994 and not 1964. A release by Out Now Records.
Italian garage punk from Mestre, recorded in 1993 for this EP on Tortilla Records. I love this tune a lot. See also vols 15 and 80 for more songs from this great EP.
Recorded in 1999 for a 4-track EP on Detour Records. Self-penned garage beat stomper from Derby, UK. Was this really their sole 45?
Garage punk lovers know Timothy Gassen. He wrote "Purple merkin power" for this freebie given away with the fabulous What Wave Magazine from Canada. He's the singer and keyboard player on this record under the moniker of Randy Love. Only 500 copies exist of this purple wax single from 1992.
"Shakin' time" is stompin' time, hence his nickname. Trashy garage blues recorded in 1998 and issued a year later on a Voodoo Rhythm 45, the record label owned by Beat-Man Zeller of The Monsters.
One of the best 4-track EP's I know. Each and every song is a killer track. This Diddley-beat stomper could've been a Downliners Sect song. See vols 15 and 95 for more more more.
From Rotterdam and huge Billy Childish fans, hence this fantastic version of "Calinda" from 1998. Beyond Lickin mix '77-punk rock, 60s beat, surf rock and neo-garage and add a Crampsy lunacy to get what they want: their own kind of crazy rock 'n' roll.
One of the silliest exploitation B-movies from the 60s is "Doctor Goldfoot and the bikini machine". This French band included a female bass player and also a female fuzz guitarist, who also do the backing vocals on this 1992 homage to this 1965 US movie about bikini-clad robots featuring Vincent Price. A year later there was an Italian sequel, "Dr. Goldfoot and the girl bombs", again with Price. Perfect for frat shack parties! A Cinelux release.
Certainly in the early 90s it seemed that Billy Childish was capable of writing hit after hit, I mean, in the wild world of garage music. This 1993 release on Damaged Goods is a perfect example.
Australian garage outfit with loads of fuzz guitar licks and screeching Voxx organ sounds. Was this 3-track 45 really their sole output? It's so good! A 1987 Kavern7 release.
The 45 has a Love side and a Hate side. This is from the Hate side, a garage punk stomper, from 1999, yet unreleased until 2002 on Nicotine Records.
Late 80s psychedelic garage pop band from Bristol influenced by the late 60s psychedelic rock bands from the UK. Distorted fuzz guitars, screaming vocals and a catchy melody make this one of their best efforts. Released in 1988 by Rough Trade Records. See more on vol 60.
Not the US garage outfit, but from Surrey, England. They had to use a K in their name because of the US group. Fantastic Voxx drenched garage punk. See also vol 23. A 1995 release by Crocodile Records.
In Belgium this has become their best known track, thanks to a local band called Los Putas, that played this song on every concert they played. The Monsters recorded this psycho-garage flick in 1997 for G.I. Productions from San José. One of the best bands ever to emerge from the Swiss Alps.
