THE THINGZ

The Thingz emerged from the fog-shrouded alleys of their native Long Beach sometime in the distant past and took present form in the early 21stcentury.  Lacking pretension or shame, and with a rudimentary understanding of basic musical conventions, they remain the primary, primordial garage rock roustabouts of their falling town. 

Inspired and influenced by the best and most debased primitive sounds of the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s, the Thingz have released numerous records in an ongoing quest to distill the quintessential Garage Rock Trash Stomp and Roll sound for all who seek simple pleasures and good times. 

The Thingz love more than anything else to perform live for friends, fans, fanatics and random onlookers.   If you would like the Thingz to play your town, let us know!

LOLA LOLA

With their songs being highlighted around the world by cult DJs, radio stations and the music blogosphere, LOLA LOLA have traveled the Iberian highways to clubs and festivals, firing up audiences and leaving a trail of worn shoes and infatuated eardrums behind them.
With their roots in the ever pulsating and innovative creative movement in the city of Porto, LOLA LOLA were formed in 2014, from the union of a very experienced and tested musical trio: Tiago Gil (Guitar), Miguel Lourenço (Bass) e Hélder Coelho (Drums), all formerly of Os Tornados, to which were added the disconcerting voice of Carla Capela, known in Porto’s nightlife circuit as DJ Just Honey, and a powerful baritone sax, currently in the hands of the master Rui Teixeira. Nurtured by the musical universe of the 50s and 60s, and inspired by R&B/Popcorn, 50s/60s and Rock’n’Roll.

After releasing a number of records in the 1980s the band toured extensivley and built a large fanbase without any significant rotation on either radio or television. During the years touring and recording have decreased but The Nomads still play a number of shows every year in the Scandinavian region. In 2001 the band celebrated their 20th anniversary with a gig in Stockholm that included appearances by members from Bob Hund, Sator, The Flaming Sideburns, Robert Johnson and Punchdrunks as well as members of the original line-up. At their gig at the Hultsfred festival the band once gain took the opportunity to celebrate with guest appearances from Nick Royale, Chips Kiesbye Handsome Dick Manitoba, Ross The Boss, Jello Biafra, Chris Bailey, Odd Ahlgren och Wayne Kramer. 20 Years Too Soon – A Tribute To The Nomads was released in 2003 with bands like The Hellacopters, The Dictators, The Robots, Bob Hund and Nitwitz contributing with their own version of their favorite Nomads songs.

KING SALAMI AND THE CUMBERLAND THREE

This is London’s greatest and most sensational Rhythm’n’Blues-Punk band. And this is a band that truly represents London, being a mongrel mix of Caribbean, France, Japan and Spain. With a repertoire influenced by many of the great songs of the ’50s and ’60s made to sound fresh and new to modern ears, you won’t be able to help but move your feet when the Cumberland Three are blasting out of your speakers. The King howls like Screaming Jay Hawkins with Bo Diddley chasing his coat-tail whilst Andre Williams tries to offer up some of his bacon fat, and the Trashmen do the Surfin’ Bird behind him. This is a man that never stops shakin’ and twistin’ and groovin’. The Cumberland Three (former members of punk rock bands, including The Parkinsons) rock up a storm with their own branded mix of vintage rockabilly, desperate rock’n’roll and stomping soul, with fire, energy, gusto and, above all, fun! Their numerous vinyl singles and their two albums have sold like the proverbial hot cakes and they keep releasing new records all the time. This is an old fashioned singles band, one that puts out one seven inch after another, all designed, and guaranteed, to get you dancing like a madman!

GARY WILDE

It’s no understatement that Gary Wilde Is no stranger to the music scene. His talents started back in the 60’s and became prominent in the 80’s with his management skills with the Paisley Underground bands that included The Pandoras, The Fuzztones and several others of the second coming revival that came to the forefront of that time. Raised in Beverly Hills, California and attended the Academy of Music in Beverly Hills for vocal & guitar training. At the end of the 80’s while tour managing The Fuzztones, Mr. Wilde would sing encores on several stages across Europe to enthusiastic receptions hence the idea to record with Mr. Wilde taking over the lead vocals and two of those tracks are on this forthcoming EP. Blood from a Stone and Skeleton Farm with the former backing line up of The Fuzztones in concurrence with what turned out to be a sold out performance at one of Los Angeles’s most famous clubs of the era.

CURLEE WURLEE

Curlee wurlee! has a unique style: fronted by its french female song-writer-organist and accompanied by three other well-known musicians, their songs are a schizophrenic mix of intricate compositions influenced by garage punk, french drama, beat, punkrock, neo-garage and potentially surf/exotica, with its very personal signature on top.

THE SATELLITERS

Inspired by their love for 50’s B-movies, The Satelliters started in 1993 with a nasty romp of drunken, three-chord garage punk for the intentions of “freaking people out.” Accompanied by their masked stage presence and the garb of aging hipsters, the band’s debut full-length Hi Karate was released in 1996 with the financial assistance of Dionysus Records.
Dipping into their huge discography (which includes a number of singles and EPs on Demolition Derby, Pin-up and Screaming Apple Records) Dionysus released four more CDs in the States over the next eight years, including Wylde Knights of Action in 1997, Shake, Shake, Shake in 1998, Sexplosive in 2001, and Hashish in 2005. Continuing to add to their overflowing catalog of psychedelic 60’s garage rock, the label put out The Satelliter’s self-titled EP in 2006, which would be followed with Where Do We Go? in 2007. ~ Mike DaRonco and Jason Lymangrover

THE PARKINSONS

The Parkinsons are a punk rock band originally from Coimbra, Portugal, formed in the year 2000 and based in London, known for their outrageous live performances.
Back in the 2000s, The Parkinsons used to be the next big thing. They were the next in line to save rock n’ roll, right up there with The Strokes and The Libertines. But they didn’t care then and they don’t care now. For most people, that means that they didn’t make it. But The Parkinsons aren’t for most people. And where the fuck are all those saviors these days? Because The Parkinsons are still here. And they’re like over 40 now – not that that matters, because if you happen to catch them live you’ll see they have more spunk than most junior bands these days. That’s probably because they were raised amidst chaos and fury and all that shows when they play. In fact, Torpedo, the guitarist and one of the founders, explains that they are a band always on the verge of self-destruction. Kind of like The Stooges probably were on their heyday. Not that I’m making comparisons here, because ’60s Detroit is not 2000s Portugal, and anyway, there is only one Stooges. But I can guarantee you that there is also just one Parkinsons too. When they first got together, they sounded darker and probably meaner than they do now but their songs are just as good, if not better. They sure as hell are catchier and more contagious than most bands around, and in that regard owe nothing to the best of their game. It’s not that they are getting poppier, because they’re not and The Parkinsons are still full on nihilism as they always have been. You can sort of feel the claustrophobia and despair emanating when Afonso sings about what could be any city in the world or living being a hard job, but most of all you feel that even though the world may be falling apart, these are the kind of guys that say fuck it and grab one for the road.

THE DIRTY COAL TRAIN

With 4 LP’s, 1 Compilation and 5 singles released and most already sold out, they have a new LP “Portuguese Freakshow” coming out soon released with Groovie Records and Garagem Records!
The lyrics are more a gargantuous noise than a message, their music is pure savagery packed for insane nights soaked with sex, anarchy, daydreams and B movie paraphernalia.

MURDERING TRIPPING BLUES

The name MURDERING TRIPPING BLUES defines itself: the energy and emotion of a crime of passion, altered states of consciousness and the soul of the blues. The project drinks from the cup of muddy Mississippian waters, crime, sex, rebellion and everything that rises from the impulse, from liberation. Henry Leone Johnson liberates himself through guitars and vocals, Johnny Dynamite through the drums and Mallory Left Eye through visual psychedelics and keyboards.
