Other StuffTo quote the creators, Searchin' For Shakes "is a Microsoft Access 97 database containing track listings and release information for the hundreds of various artist compilations that focus on 60's garage and psychedelic rock. is a downloadable database of 60s comps..." The Chesterfield Kings have been ultra-busy of late. They're extremely busy recording (with a couple new 7" offerings out and a new LP on the way) and they've revived their old Living Eye label (distributed by Sundazed). They've also built their own studio. Between the label and the studio, bassist Andy Babiuk says they'll have excellent resources to work with cool bands they'd like people to hear... The Gants did a reunion in Michigan this Fall. Reports say they were damn good, too... Lotsa people out there are always looking for 60s Vintage Portable Turntables. Well, Busy Kids has 'em! Yeah, I know they're no longer in the record biz, but they appear to still be selling these (and some cool old clocks, too!)... As some of you know, one of the bands that blew me away back in the Second Coming of The Strip (when the shows were downstairs at Flannery's) was a group called The Belmondos. These Massachusetts boys were nothing short of amazing, combining Artie Sneiderman's full-bodied voice with sax, keys, and rockin' guitar action. Sadly, the only recording the guys ever did was one demo tape. Talk about true crime stories! Well, Artie's back, this time with a group called The Crybabies that also includes guitarist Steve Aquino (of The Lyres)... The Boss Martians have signed an official endorsement deal with Fender Musical Instruments! Meanwhile, their "close" buddies, The Mystery Action, have signed an exclusive contract with MuSick Recordings and are working on their debut disc... Ramones: Around the World is a 71-minute film culled from over 100 hours of footage shot by none other than Marky Ramone between 1987 and 1996...The Slickee Boys will once again be doing their Christmas reunions at the 930 Club in DC and the 8X10 in Baltimore. However, there appears to be a strong possibility that this may be the final hurrah... Former members of both The Shadows of Knight and Them have been talking (and possibly have done so by now) about forming a group called The Shadows of Them. The way I see it, this can only be 100 times better than Jim Sohns' current bunch posing as the Shadows of Knight... For those wondering about the fate of bands who were signed to 360 Twist: Frigg A Go-Go have ended up with Scooch Pooch; The Hate Bombs (last I heard) were close to a deal with Dionysus and are hoping for a February release. More as it comes in. (By the way, those guys are supposed to be in Flipside #115.) It's possible 360 Twist may still have a catalog available listing what they've got left to sell. Try e-mailing them at this address... The Makers are evidently making videos. Three were shot by J. Michael McCarthy (of Sore Losers fame) while on tour this fall. These include "Lover Lover," "Psychotropic Supergirl" and "Are You On The Inside or the Outside of Your Pants?"... Guitarist David Rhoden tells meThe Hi-Balls "are just now getting back together with a new line-up that includes a bass player(!). Unfortunately, Alan will not be back in December (...) We now expect him back in May. I hope to be playing before then, either as a 3-piece or with a guest lead player."Return to Table of Contents |
