If you like the '60's psychedelic stuff, you should try a band called "Plastic-land". They were around in the '80s and had a sound like the 13th Floor Elevators. Except without the "Duk-a-duk-a-duk-a-doo". If you know the 13th Flr. Elevators, you know what that means. Plastic Land did a song called "Trap-Door Shoes" that really hit the nail on the head.
The Hives:Real Deal or just a tease???
I picked up The Hives CD, as a TAS recommended recording, what a blast!!! four of the songs are definitely 60s style (tracks,1,4,6,10) , though they remind me of the Romantics of the late 70s. The rest were 70s/90s punk junk( to me anyway). Also, picked up the Strokes(awful, punk junk), The White Stripes,, although no one particular song was a stand out, they were more in tune with the 60s style of garage bands. The song about the Big Three was hilarious.
So the question, are my hopes running too high and these groups one shot wonders?? and is this type of music just a shot in the dark??? If not are there any other bands similar to this type, 60s garage band, in your face swagger ( Standells' "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White"
or Them' "Gloria"). Are the kids getting hip again???
