what about the zoobombs. remember them. make a thread for them.

jesus - you'd think for such a fine band, that there'd be a fine thread starter...but anyhoo...
i've been hiding under a rock for a few years - obviously, that's when the dirtbombs came to town. there's stories of 'em getting laid locally and so forth...
ultraglide in black is what's cranking...
however...i'm just trying to track down the original "ode to a blackman" from phil lynott with no luck on limewire... is it worth getting?

awwww'm broke in detroit again

they were fucking great at ding dong a few years back.

also, they will be appearing on the 'live at studio 5' cd that i am releasing 16.11.06, it's a cover and it Is AWESOME

top notch on all accounts - that noone went to see them in Sydney at the Gaelic club still gets me mad..

Has there been anything released since the King Khan split? A new record coming out?

Madcans - what's the cover?

there's a doco out that they feature in, here's the link
it came from detroit
i hope it gets shown here

i will always regret not seeing them at Ding Dong

Mick Collins: "We're Detroiters" interview

they rocked at the tote too. two drummers always works

The Gories were heaps better though.

I thought Blacktop where just as good as the Gories.

I thought Blacktop were better than the Dirtbombs, but not quite as good as the Gories. That Blacktop LP really is amazing.

nmb - -there was a recent tour split 7" with the Black Lips on Cass records. All sold out I'm afraid.

rigid/spotswood - gories were better than blacktop. blacktop were more consistent than the dirtbombs but the dirtbombs had higher highs (though also some pretty low moments).

I agree tihstar, except for the bit about the Dirtbombs' highs being higher than Blacktop's. Some of the singles perhaps were up there with Blacktop. But there's no denying the runaway genius of the Gories. They were the cat's pajamas.

I do love this band although, when i listen to that album of covers, i can't help but think they become a little monotenous after awhile.

if only the gories had wore cute matching colours mick collins could be writing Coke jingles now.

Indeed. I thought it was interesting Jim Diamond sued for royalties from the WS for his production input, while Mick basically served them their sound on a silver platter.

Are the Demolition Doll Rods still going? They had the best gimmick of all, two hotties and a cross dresser.

Yeah, the Gories are great, I guess it's a bit stupid to compare the bands anyway. I liked the In The Red Blacktop "I Got A Bad Feelin' About This" record than Au Go Go version, not sur why they didn't include all the songs.

The story with that is that Blacktop recorded a six song 10" for Crypt. Darin Lin Wood from Blacktop also played in Fireworks!, who had an album out on Crypt. Darin had a falling out with the guy who ran the label so the label told 'em to jam it. Then Au-go-go stepped in and decided to add a few songs to the six to flesh it out for an Aussie release. The CD includes everyting, including the B-sides, like "Hot Lips and Swivel Hips". That's a killer song.

Put me on the door and I will come! haha

this is what happens when i pretend i care.

new rec is great.

so are they worth going to see tomorrow night?

yes.

THE DIRTBOMBS
Party Store
(In the Red)

this seems good. sound good anyone?

it's.... different. not sure if I like it yet. it's their most ambitious album, might have gone too far

it's their best one yet, same as all of their previous albums, just keep getting better and better. dance music never sounded this good.

is this record their take of detroit techno music?
heard a track on the radio last night. was alright.

It's all covers of early 80s Detroit techno. The one song that's been on the ITR myspace was great.

Its not often people take a covers band seriously, but they do do it well.

only bought 2 songs of their new one - sharivari and cosmic cars. but bought 2 lps by the screws and have been very enjoying them - hate filled classics and shake your monkey

New 3LP is sick, really tempted to buy despite limited funds...

SHARI! VARI!

been really diggin' ''Party Store''. Really not that familiar with the original tunes. need to download a companion album to this with the original tunes. ANyone know if someone has already posted such a compilation on a blog??

I've heard Shari Vari, Alleys of Your Mind and Bass in a Bagbin and they're all great! apparently ''Good times'' was a huge hit a few years ago, never heard it...

1981: Juan Atkins' Cybotron releases its first single, ''Alleys of Your Mind''
Cybotron - ''Alleys Of Your Mind'' (1981)
Cybotron - ''Cosmic Cars'' (1982)
1982: A Number of Names releases single called ''Shari Vari''
1987: May records ''Strings of Life,'' regarded by many to be Detroit techno's seminal track
1989: Saunderson becomes a British pop star on the back of the single ''Good Life''

Shari Vari is killer

bought the vinyl, finally!

Their latest one is fucking awesome --- finally got around to listening to the fucking thing.

(h5)!

fyi - mick collins is on twitter, and every friday does a greatest record ever, which has had some awesome choons like this one.
