MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
THE INTERCONTINENTAL PLAYBOYS began in 1998,
debuting at a private party at the Hollywood Hotel
(Surry Hills, Australia). Unslowly, and surely, and
with a head of steam, word rapidly spread about these
wild yet suave newcomers with an unlikely but voodooly
sweaty rock n roll manifesto. THE INTERCONTINENTAL
PLAYBOYS are not at all from a penthouse suite
(as their name suggests to some) their inimitable
sound emanates from a shadowy yet strangely inviting
trapdoor within a garage that THE INTERCONTINENTAL PLAYBOYS
earthly host (Sydney, Australia) can barely comprehend.
Charlotte's Remains
DORTMUND, GERMANY
If Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff had ever thought about forming a band, they would surely have been the most important influence on the X-RAY HARPOONS' sound. Actually, these five "followers of fuzz" from Bonn themselves seem to have emanated from an old b-movie, and watching them live on stage offers one the same spine-chilling, blood-curdling pleasure that used to draw large audiences in genre classics like “Plan 9 from outer space” or “Night of the living dead” back in the 50's/60's.
Organ-driven and fuzz-drenched, the HARPOONS’ music is dedicated to the pre-punk/garage-sound of the mid-60's and in particular to the neo-garage sound of the 80's/90's. Influences? This might turn out to be an endless list, but to name a few bands: The Music Machine, The Brogues, We The People, The Fuzztones, The Gruesomes, The Gravedigger V, and so on...
DO THE MUMMY!
Ghost Clinic
HOUTHALEN-HELCHTEREN, BELGIUM
Bastardi di Blues is a Dutch bluesrocktrio from Limburg, the most southernly part of The Netherlands. The band was formed in the harsh winter of 2009, when the world was being hit hard by the most severe economic crisis since the Depression era of the 1930's.
Hard Times.
Down and Out.
Such times used to form the cradle of blues. As far as Bastardi di Blues (Italian for 'Blues Bastards') were concerned, they were cradles of blues yet again. Bastardi (originally Bastardo di Blues) was a frivolous concept that came up during dinner in Rome in the summer of 2008 when guitarist Johan van de Beek decided to pick up his guitar after years of not playing. Seeing a street musician playing blues on a Piazza made him change his mind.
After posting some solo webcam music clips on websites like Youtube.com and Dutchbased Hyves.nl he was spotted and contacted by drummer Rene Vlems who suggested a jam session to feel out if there was 'a connection' between the two of them. The mutual love for the old bluesmasters and the enormous respect for innovators of the genre like Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan immediately brought them together.
Soon after their first session they were joined by bassplayer Monique Demarteau who completed what sounded like a promising and solid powertrio.
Monique Demarteau played in bands like Harvey Wallbanger, Black Rabbit and The Wanted. Rene Vlems played in various jazz and (blues)rock bands and worked with The Bonel Band, Deepwater, The Wanted, Skinwheels, Still Believe and is currently also involved with Dizzy Robby and The Blues Raiders. Johan van de Beek, who learned to play guitar 'by ear', however, has little stage-experience.
Bastardi di Blues are currently building a set of classic electric rock and blues classics played in a hard hitting style, interspersed with Hendrix-psychedelica and samples of 'outré' genres like punk rock, urban and jazz.
Ghost Clinic is recorded in June-July 2009 at the Art Sound Studio in Houthalen-Helchteren (Belgium), engineered and produced by Jean-Pierre Kerkhofs.
No Tengo Nada (My Nothing)
ARGENTINA
At this point, let’s say Los Peyotes is the band that revitalized the sixties garage rock in South America. These 5 Peruvian-Argentine boys with a double life, go out at night to do the best thing they can do: garage and caveman rock and roll. Los Peyotes was founded, approximately, in 1996 and since that, they have never left off to performance. Its music is shot by instruments vintage and valve amps that next to their aesthetic a go go, causes cocktail hallucinogenic exclusive for collectors and understood. Sound fuzz, tremolo, vibrato and farfisa organ is guaranteed. Its performance is the best, pure gratuitous savagery with a public wild accomplice and that together gives to the frame to true sixties troglodytic parties. They are voracious all-consuming of all garage music of the Sixties.
Everything You Got
MADRID, SPAIN
The Holdens story began long ago, originally a four-piece combo,
it wasn't until 2000 when they finally settled for a definitive
line up. All members hail from bands such as Los Potros, Nuggets,
Golden Zombies or Los Nitros. Taking inspiration from the mid-60s
sounds and the late 80's garage boom, The Holdens began working
out an original take on their shared influences, producing their
particular blend of 60's-garage-punk. Soon, the band was playing
the local circuit burning a set of infectious originals and a great
choice of cover tunes from their favourite bands. In a short two years,
the band cranked out two excellent demos, where their sound clearly begins
to acquire a more 60's edge. Later on the Holdens recorded for Animal
Records the critically acclaimed "Ready To Shake!", another brilliant
demo containing five energetic tracks and produced by Paco Pozas (Los Imposibles).
Shortly after that, back in 2002, Lucia de Montis, who had played with the spanish
Nuggets and toured with the Cynics at their Spanish gigs, joined the Holdens to
release their debut cd by Animal Records, the historic label from Spain that has
released several splendid garage / beat / psyche / mod albums and 45s in the past
by the best Spanish combos. In "Dancing with the mammoths", produced by Fernando
Pardo (Sex Museum), the Holdens perform a solid and magnificent sound full of jangly
guitars, sweet harmonies and farfisa grooves proving once more that the Spanish garage
and beat scene is one of the most interesting in the whole world as they have managed to
continue the great Spanish tradition of bands like Sex Museum, Flashback V, Flechazos,
Imposibles and Doctor Explosion! Back in 2006 they put out their second album, this time
also in vinyl, called "Do it right", where they shoot their fuzz-torpedos to the unsuspected
world and deliver 10 tracks of pure teen beat brilliance with a distinctive pop appeal and
again a big fat farfisa sound.
Black Box
SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA
The best way to describe the Deadbillys
would have to be by mixing Johnny Cash,
The Misfits, Merle Haggard, The Cramps.
Then after that you get the 3 piece from Santa
Barbara, California. Members Bobby Dickson on Guitar
and Vocals, his wife Heather Dickson on Washtub Bass
and Vocals, and Alfred Smith on Upright Drums make up the
trio. If you want a band that's going to give you a hoedown
or a slampit, then THE DEADBILLYS are your band.
Heathen Set
PARIS, FRANCE
The Norvins were formed in Paris in 2004 by four gentlemen obsessed by all the great mid 60's garage and beat bands from all around the world. Line up is Edouard (vocals, tambourines, harmonica), Franck (Harmony H22-1, Vox Sidewinder IV, Burns and Fender Coronado basses), Pascal (Mosrite Celebrity and MK V & Telecaster guitars & Vox AC10 JMI 1964, backing vocals), Gerry (drums) and Jerome (CRB and farfisa organs, Yamaha YC-20).
We garantee pure vintage 60s garage punk right from the nuggets to the guts. Sharper than razors, this heavy swing and fuzzy scream is here to make you shake your moneymakers and rip off your ears.
Tantric Pretender
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA
Rudi first heard The Prancing Ponies when Stella
played him "Tantric Pretender" on her KXLU radio
show, Stray Pop. The Ponies, it seems, were a
short-lived project evolving from Sex With Lurch
that soon morphed into the Barbarellatones, 'though
luckily not before releasing their album, "Trashe du Blanc,"
which includes
the song the head Pony Robbie Quine describes as "A tribute to
how cool I think the Fuzzers are."
Ward 81
ATHENS,
GREECE
Fiummy Lee were formed in 2000 and consist of four members
: Nick Makrakis - Vocals. Kyriakos Romios - Guitars/Bass George
Makopoulos Bass/Guitars Dimitris Papakonstantinou – Drums.
It was not before 2002 that Fiummy Lee decided to write their
own songs, songs that led to a first demo attempt in 2003.The result
was not really satisfactory but Fiummy Lee kept on going doing what
they enjoy more. Playing music.They have appeared in the Anti-Racist
Festival in Thessalonica in June of 2005, in Small Music Theatre in
2003 and in April of 2006 and in many other circumstances and happenings
such as political festivals, occupied universities etc. Their garage grunge
and rock and roll sound comes with very intense and powerful live appearances.
In summer of 2006 they finished the recordings and the artwork of their latest
demo cd “Decidophobia”, which any of you can obtain by contacting the band.
In August of 2007 they re-recorded their version for Ward 81 by the legendary
Fuzztones (previously featured in their self-titled demo) in Fragile Studio in Athens.
She's Wicked
THESSALONIKI, GREECE
The Bullets were formed in the eastern side of
Thessaloniki in 1988. It was the time that rockabilly
was very popular all over Europe. Although the rockabilly
revival movement, which started in the 70s, lasted until the
late 90s, the Bullets have managed to be active up until today.
During all these difficult years the band has performed live
countless times, creating wild and memorable moments for their fans.
The Bullets music style is without any doubt… rock’n’roll. Obviously their
major influences are the trash/desperate rockabilly of the 50s and the primitive
surf sounds of the 60s. Other influences include doo-wop, garage and british
teddy boy rock. The result of the mixture of the aforementioned styles is not out
of date thanks to the group’s vibrant playing and its fresh approach to its music.
The Bullets’ philosophy is based on having fun, love for life and being optimistic.
Certainly these are the reasons why they will keep on being together for a very long time!
Idol Chatter
MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY
Culpables (means Guiltys in english) results as a combination
of garage rock and hardcore, based on punk blood. From Uruguay´s
black hole, Culpables are four demons in their mid twenties,
playing since they were 16 or so. Excessive fuzz use, darkness
and pessimist lyrics about the world they live in define Culpables.
Due to the lack of local rock culture, they have been forced to look
into neighbour countries to find labels who would edit their records.
In fact, all of their releases are from Argentina and Brazil “En los nervios”
and “Va por mal camino” (Rastrillo Records, Laja Records), a split-CD with
Motosierra called "Hot Music For Hot Chicks" also editted in Argentina by
Rastrillo Records and one EP “O Coraçao eletrico dos culpables” editted in Brazil.
Yeah Babe!
TORINO, ITALY
The Sick Rose were arguably the first European garage
band to have the impact globally in the same manner
as The Chesterfield Kings (from the Timothy Gassen's
book Knights of Fuzz 1980-1995).
Lead garage band in the Eighties, The Sick Rose
with his fuzz and farfisa attack impressed the
audience with full powered gigs, since the first
released Faces LP, dated 1986. The band performed
alive with some legends of the genre (The Fuzztones,
Dream Syndicate, The Nomads, Stomach Mouths and so on)
and produced four full records but disbanded in 1990.
What You Don't Know
DONCASTER, UK
"Flight 13" was originally formed early 2003 in Doncaster England. The line up however has changed completely many times since then with Bob Hughes remaining as the only original member.
They have played and recorded in clubs/pubs & "New Untouchables" mod rallys and similar 60's influenced events, and supported some big names such as, The Inspiral Carpets, the Bluetones and Kasabian.
Throughout this time they've attained a really good local following.
In Bob's spare, he performs and records as a solo "acoustic" artist with a more "Country" feel.

Skeleton Farm
DUBLIN, IRELAND
London has The Horrors, and here's Dublin's revenge: psyched-out
zombie rocker complete with all the horrorshow ingredients: the
devilishly swirling Farfisa organ, the bendy guitar twangs, the
singer who howls like a teenage werewolf at a beach party. The
Urges may lovingly recreate the primitive garage punk sound of
the 1960s, exemplified by The Count Five, The Electric Prunes and
the 13th Floor Elevators, but they avoid becoming too cartoon-like,
sidestepping the schlock and focusing on the flipped-out mentalism
of Read the Signs, You're Gonna Find Out, The 13th Floor and So Uptight.
In Heat
FRIOLI, ITALY
THE SEXTRESS was formed in 1986 from an idea that
five guys wanted to have some fun making music.
The band has always gotten its inspiration from
GARAGE type music with typically psychedelic tones
and sounds. We played songs by legendary bands of
this genre and especially truly legendary groups
such as FUZZTONES, LYRES, CREEPS . After a lot of
rehearsing we started playing in the local PUBS,
sparking some interest in this genre. In the meantime,
thanks to our “musical” maturity, which was gradually
growing, we also started playing songs from other genres
and rearranging them in our own EXPLOSIVE style. We started
performing quite frequently both in bars and in many local musical
festivals. We were also asked to play backup for more famous bands,
such as THE FUZZTONES. The band has had numerous formations (eleven)
but nonetheless we have always managed to go ahead with our musical
“project” and are now considered to be a “rarity” in Friuli with this
genre (and proud of it!!).

Born of the unholy alliance of tone deafness and alcohol abuse -
Davies' brothers style onstage meltdowns, smashed guitars and
an unhealthy obsession with thematic material you might find
prevalent in a high school locker room. We were formed to play
a birthday party for a one year old - and I'm shitting you negative,
sally. Little did we know that we all shared the same interest -
drinking. The rest is revisionist history.
Blood From A Stone
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON (USA)
The Boss Martians' style of '60s-influenced
guitar pop was debuted in 1995 upon the release
of their first self-titled full-length on Dionysus
Records. Accompanied by an influence of Paul Revere
& the Raiders, the Beach Boys, the Trashmen and the
Astronauts, the Seattle natives also had the chance
to scatter several singles throughout the years on
various different labels before their second album,
13 Evil Tales, came out in 1996. But it wasn't until
1998 that the Boss Martians had the chance to branch
outside of America with a tour of Europe that summer.
After 2000's Move, they signed with MuSick Recordings,
releasing 2002's Making the Rounds and 2004's The Set-Up.
"I Am Your Radio," from the latter album, won the
listener-driven "Coolest Song of the Year" contest
on Little Steven's Underground Garage radio program, and their new record features a guest appearance by none other than IGGY POP himself!

PRATO, ITALY
Hard Garage Punk'n'Roll band formed in Vaiano
(Prato – Tuscany – Italy), in spring 2004. After
some changes in the line up, we found our real
dimension in 2006: Cisvo on vox, Johnny on guitar
and vocals, Simon also on guitar, Bilea on bass and
J.B. on drums. Headbangers realized two home made EP's:
Broken Shoes & Leather Jackets (2006) and On the Fast
Lane! (2007). We made our appearence on the compilation
Toscana Punk Rock Vol.2. From May 2009 third EP ‘Crack on!’ is out! At
the moment, back in 4 with Johnny on voice, we’re working
on some new songs and we’re trying to realise a new issue
on vinyl. We are the right band for high energy punk'n'roll garage lovers!

DOMODOSSOLA, ITALY
The Preachers born in the late 2001 in order to
spread the Word of the Garage Rock culture.They're
still preaching across Italy the lesson of bands like
Love, Sonics, Seeds, Music Machine, 13th Floor Elevators.
But the Preachers also wrote many songs and very soon it'll
be out a brand new album for Teen Sound records.The Fuzztones
are a point of reference for The Preachers,as the love for
horror and mysterious atmospheres . Preacher's show is very
theatrical and hypnotic,so shake your bones with The Preachers!
Shame On You
KEOKUK, IOWA (USA)
Like many garage bands of the '60s, the Gonn
achieved (slight) international fame beyond
anything they attained in their lifetime when
their single "Blackout of Gretely" was rediscovered
by collectors and reissued in the '80s. From Keokuk,
IA, the Gonn released only a couple singles on tiny
local labels in 1966 and 1967. Probably the toughest
garage band in Iowa (not that there was an enormous
amount of competition), the Gonn took their inspiration
from the raunchiest aspects of the early Rolling Stones,
adding the raw, throat-shredding screams that American
groups of the kind were wont to use during this period.
MTV- Interview with Rudi Protrudi 1990
MALIBU, CALIFORNIA
She got the MTV job even though her prior
on-camera experience had been limited to
a few television commercials. Rolling Stone
magazine readers selected her as "MTV's Best-Ever
VJ" years later. Quinn's petite, girl next door
personality made her extremely popular among viewers.
In 1993, she married musician Jordan Tarlow (ex-Fuzztones); they have two children and live in Malibu, California
IAN ASTBURY
Cheyenne Rider
L.A. CALIFORNIA (USA)
Ian Astbury is the frontman of The Cult, a successful British rock
band in the late 1980s and early 1990s. With the 1983 release
of their first album, Dreamtime, The Cult became the darling
of the indie post-punk scene, their chart topping single "Spiritwalker"
having held at number one for three months.
Despite the Cult's even greater success through their mainstream hit single
"Fire Woman" (from the followup 1989 album Sonic Temple), Astbury relocated
to Los Angeles, California. He became friends with The Fuzztones, often jumping
up onstage with them at live concerts. One such concert, at Scream in
Los Angeles, was recorded and a cover of The Stooges song "Down on the Street"
was released as a picture disc in the UK on Situation Two Records. It featured
Astbury guesting on vocals and the In Heat-era Fuzztones providing backing.
Spawn II features Ian's version of The Fuzztones' Cheyenne Rider, recorded at the same
Scream show!

In a time when the term “rock” has shriveled
to become nothing more than a gleaming sign at
ringtone-commercials, LYNX LYNX are travelling
ancient prairies hand in hand with The Gories,
MC5 and even with the unique Howlin Wolf ready
to create a sound too aggressive and soulful to
call it just another throw back 60's garage yawnfest.
LYNX LYNX was founded to melt down those tympanic

stage into our riff-mined hunting-ground. May true believers survive the attack.
Rock On 18
BETHEL, PENNSYLVANIA (USA)
As much a gang as a band, these bunch of juvenile
delinquents featured an ex-Pagans motorcycle gang
member as singer/flautist. Every member had done jail time,
Rudi's "stay" being the shortest (one night). Played the college
circuit, as well as festivals. repertoire consisted mostly of
Jethro Tull, Alice Cooper, Blue Oyster Cult and Bloodrock covers,
with a few originals thrown in when they could get away with it.
They recorded a single in 1972, "Rapa's Little Schoolgirl," b/w "Rock On 18" on
the Baldwin Studios label. From left to right: Tony Uhrich-lead & rhythm guitar,
vocals; Jim Lane-bass, vocals; Dan O'Hara-keyboards; Brad Farnsler-drums;
Rapa-lead vocals, flute, sax; Rudi Protrudi-lead & rhythm guitar, vocals.
Just Once
MECHANICSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA (USA)
The Punk Rock Janitors were three guys who barely
graduated special ed in school, and a gal rhythm
guitarist who, in her early 20's, looked like a 13
year old hooker. How this motley crew ever learned to
play instruments, let alone write songs is one of life's
mysteries, but their tunes are melodic and energetic.
Thankfully, Danny Trash's lead guitar work isn't hindered
by any knowledge of musical theory, scales or the like.
Hence, some of the most "out there" solos ever heard!
Included here, their original, "Just Once," recorded in 1980 and produced by Rudi Protrudi, was later rearranged and recorded by The Fuzztones.
9 Meses Despues (Nine Months Later)
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO
CARROÑEROS came from the nothing.
They never had a friend or a relative in the
music industry, neither a millionaire relative,
politic, or a sister or girlfriend that ever
could strike in the playmate business.
These guys came from the nothing.
One day in September of 2006 appeared a
drum kit in the room of Jesse J. Coyote,
a bass in the toilet of Augustoock Vicios,
the hand of Conde Giovanni Contar was suddenly
hypnotized, Rod Monstruo and Paloma Stricnina
felt sick and just they could speak screaming,
and, finally, Emilio Revolver found and old organ
in his garden when he pretended to buried his dog.
Ok, they thought, we have an organ, we could make
it as a church..s band. CARROÑEROS originally began
playing at weddings, baptisms, and child..s birthdays.
But they failed. Each party they played worst and worst.
The people began to shout and bangs his heads and dance
like if they were schizoids. Suddenly, to this baptisms,
weddings, etc., began to arrive young delinquents, with
sun glasses, big black boots and wild haircuts; CARROÑEROS
played for avoid a disaster. But soon they began to love
this type of “catholic partys” too. Actually, the worst
of the worst people in Mexico City reunite themselves
to dance like maniacs with the terrible sound of CARROÑEROS.
And I heard that sometimes they invoke Satan.
Bad News Travels Fast
BERLIN, GERMANY
Moving party of the 8T's Mod-revival and founder
of the paisley-faction within this scene.
W/ strong bonds to Hamburg and D'dorf at these
times. 1st gig ever after 2h practice in a garage
was held at Berlin's NAAFI-Club (a club for the British
military-forces in Berlin) in october 1985. We were then
between 13-18 years old. It mainly consisted of a losely repeated
combination of versions from Hang on Sloopy, Louie Louie and Farmer
John, accompagnied by Batman-Theme, Hey Joe and Sex and Violence!
Due to the cheap beer-price it happened to be tremendous success.
So we kept on doing what we've learned from this, drinking
and playing - until the sun comes out!

Get Naked
DORTMUND, GERMANY
In a time when the term “rock” has shriveled
to become nothing more than a gleaming sign at
ringtone-commercials, LYNX LYNX are travelling
ancient prairies hand in hand with The Gories,
MC5 and even with the unique Howlin Wolf ready
to create a sound too aggressive and soulful to
call it just another throw back 60's garage yawnfest.
LYNX LYNX was founded to melt down those tympanic
membranes whose owners declared “Blues is dead” by
just one howl. It is this quest that made us
unite the pack and leave our beloved cave to turn your
stage into our riff-mined hunting-ground. May true believers survive the attack.
