34 RAW, RUTHLESS & RUGGED 60s GARAGE ROCKERS.
Torque out to these 34
first generation garage rockers from the US.
Nothing but the wildest and
most elusive mid-60s sounds.
Anyone flipping over the 1995 compilation
'Mondo Frat Dance Bash A Go Go' (ArfArf 051) will go bonkers over this new
collection of frenetic movers and shakers!
"This compilation is 60's party music.
Some of it is in the spirit of the classic "holy trinity" of frat music, The Trashmen, Kingsmen and Rivieras, i.e. beat-y, dumb, amazingly catchy pop.
If songs like 'Louie Louie', 'California Sun' and 'Surfin'Bird' don't move you, you don't dig rock'n'roll. Although this CD includes some obscure Kingsmen-wannabees doing songs in the spirit of the above, there aren't enough of them.
The problem is that quantity isn't always value. There are 34 songs here but it is hard to listen all the way through. I had to listen in three different sessions, or "parties" - as the title suggests. On a double LP it would have been possible to have four more easily digestible sides. Every time a couple of decent songs pop up they are followed by a real clunker. I would have preferred to lose some of the mediocre material, leaving about 20 real winners.
You should be able to slap on a good party album and watch everyone get up and dance to song after song, like a Tony the Tyger cassette. The random sequencing and inclusion of some weaker songs eliminate this possibility.
This CD is like a party in a big house with lots of rooms. In each one a different band is playing. In some rooms people are way too drunk and are doing things they shouldn't, things they'll regret it in the morning. In this category is Shorty & The Enchanting Souls' excruciating cover version of 'Gotta Get Out Of this Place', which is embarrassingly bad.
The other covers, of songs like 'Hey Joe', are also disposable.
You wander into other rooms and the band make up for lack of ability by cheerful enthusiasm, exuberance and a sense of fun. The opener, The Gallows 'Come To The Party' is a good example.
The Velveteens, the Little People and The Mark V are basic and wildly derivative but infectiously catchy.
In another room a crazed, sloppy and raucous instrumental is playing. The tune is unfamiliar but the whole room is really bopping and you start to dance madly and badly. Dr. T & The Undertakers' 'Undertakers Theme' is great. There are eight other good dance floor groovers.
You drift into another room. They are playing your parents version of what they think you'd like to hear at a party. (Five stupid gimmick 'party' records cranked out by session guys, with animal noises and screams. 'Diamond Coated Banana Bush' is a good title but the worst example.) They are unlistenable, so you flee. The trouble is there are too many rooms, and you keep wandering into more uncool rooms you don't want to stay in, then you briefly find the room where everything is swinging, only to quickly lose it again!
The lowdown; nine decent dancers/instros, 14 good frat/pop songs, five gimmick songs ruined by jungle noises etc, four unnecessary covers and two very badly recorded live cuts."
