I Discovered them in the early 90s via the fantastic Rubbles 1 collection album with the great undertitle Psychedelic Snarl that also had at least two Wimple Winch classics including Save my soul! |

| Wimple Winch Save my soul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gi9GXxVDJQg What a great bass guitar riff! Only instrument that is forshadowing what melody menance this is gonna develop into, because its a pretty straigtforward laidback pop/garage from the beginning. From 1966 and in my opinion miles ahead of for instance another garage cult band Chocolate Watch Band. |

You bring a smile to my face with your enthusiasm, BF! WIMPLE WITCH is one I had NOT heard! Thanks! A cool early Stones vibe but even more soul and more garage sounding.
Try these...so unique with the psychedelic woodwinds...

Here is a great 60's Aussie garage band...
UNDECIDED (1966) by The Masters Apprentices
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnMytzzcRGI
This was the first single recorded by Australian band the Masters Apprentices. It was composed just before a 1966 demo recording session in Adelaide when they needed an extra song. They were unsure what to call it, so named it 'Undecided'. It features a great overdriven guitar sound, apparently due to a faulty valve in the guitar amplifier.
This song was an astounding debut, and featured raw playing and sound unlike anything else on the charts, in Australia or overseas. Jim Keays' vocals were brazen and uninhibited, complete with yelps and gutteral noises. Undecided was co-written by songwriter Mick Bower, who wrote classic songs for the Masters, such as Buried and Dead, Living in a Child's Dream, Wars or Hands of Time, and Tired of Just Wandering. Unfortunately he left the band early in its career due to ill health. Other members were Brian Vaughton (drums), Gavin Webb (bass) and Rick Morrison (lead guitar).
The band eventually changed personnel while retaining Jim Keays, and went on to more success here in Australia, but for me that early incarnation was special. This is a band worth seeking out, especially those Mick Bower songs, as an example of the early Australian rock scene. Aztec Music has just released a remastered and expanded version of the first album with these songs and more. -youtube comments
Update: Just heard today (13 June 2014) that Jim Keays passed away from cancer. R.I.P. Jim Keays.
Just had a comment (12 Feb 2016) from Max Pepper who recorded this track: "I recorded this song in 1966 at Mastersound in Moger Lane off Pirie Street East. The Government garage opposite was used as an echo chamber and the Bass and Guitar amps were direct fed through a passive mixer. The drums had a kick mike and one overhead. At the end of the session the group couldn't decide on a name so I wrote Undecided on the tape box. A Phillips Limiter and Pultec equaliser were used in the session. Max Pepper"

Julie Driscoll with the Brian Augur Trinity - saw them several times at university in the late 60s and fell deeply in love with Ms Driscoll, but there again so did everyone else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkCBVZHrstE
For me, the 60s was as much about blues (the British kind) as psychedelia. Here's Chicken Shack with Christine Perfect (soon to become Christine McVie) on vocals - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohx9Ve7-GS0
Another lesser known blues band was The Keef Hartley Band. Keef was drummer for John Mayall until 1967 when he was sacked and formed his own band, producing the classic blues album "Halfbreed" (which, incidentally, opens with the voice of Mayall on the telephone sacking Keef). The Keef Hartley Band was one of the few British bands to play at Woodstock. Anyway, here's a track from Halfbreed featuring some pretty stunning guitar work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi2Kt0mbcIY

All great ones, DT. Hlafbreed is a great album. And Mayall was the creative genius melting pot of BLUES. So great.
I remember really being blown away by his groundbreaking album Turning Point, where he actually decided to exclude a drummer! Still my favorite Mayall album.
Room To Move 1969...insane harp playing! All my friends were trying to get those harp grooves.

You're Dead Norma Tanega 1966...a folkie from the '60's with one hit-
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImAlx0amAIc
This lost classic was used to great effect in the opening titles for "What We Do In The Shadows" 2014. A brilliant dark docu-comedy from down under...
The first six minutes....a must see film.

| Has anyone seen "the history of the Eagles"? Such a great documentary about a band that I respect but never listened to. It doesnt go into any Spinal Tap cliches( ok maybe one or two if you look with nerdy spinal tap glasses). You get really close to the formation of the band, the dynamics,the quarrels the members, the ups and downs etc. Especially Frey and Henley are so articulate, honest and funny at times.And of course there is some hotel damaging and drugs episodes but that is just a minor part of the story.Highly recommendable! |

Looks great, but I get a notice that it can't be viewed outside Norway. I downloaded the Hola! app....very cool. No MAC browser yet--they say it's coming soon.
