Shake!! Shivaree


The Dirtbombs 'Horndog Fest' (1998)
Mick 'n his gang trash it up on their first longplayer. More lo-fi than future releases, this'll wreak havoc on your ear drums and have your heart burning with the deeps of love. Turn it up!!

Boogie chillun


The Gories 'House Rockin' (1989)
The Gories debut, and it's a feral charm bag of lo-fi garage-rockin 'n' blues stomp allegedly recorded in a tin shack (how fitting!). 'nuff said.

Roach trap


The Gories 'You Little Nothing' 7" (1995)
"You Little Nothing” was recorded at Garageland studios shortly before the Gories recorded their debut album. Cool lo-fi bluesy garage sounds. “Casting My Spell” is a Johnny Otis song they recorded for their 'Outta Here' LP but was rejected. “Charm Bag” is an alternate mix originally done for their first LP. - Get Hip

Bonin'


Andre Williams 'Silky' (1998)
Joined by Mick Collins and Dan Kroha (Gories), "Mr. Rhythm" lays down some stanky, low-brow noise. Sleazy it is, but Andre Williams just wants to be your favorite pair of pajamas!

Baby Say Unh!



Gories 'Here Be the Gories' (1991) & 'Baby Say Unh!' (1992) 7"s
Back in the mid- 80s, a band called the Gories were getting it done with just two guitars and some drums. Consisting of of guitarist / singer Mick Collins, drummer Margaret Ann “Peggy” O’Neill and Dan Kroha on vocals and another guitar, the band’s special, extra-trashy brand blues-punk made them a fixture on the Detroit scene for a handful of years before their demise in ’93. Their first release, Houserockin’, was put out in 1989 on Wanghead with Lips Records. After a brief break, the trio were back in 1990 with I Know You Fine, But How You Doin’, produced by Alex Chilton (of Big Star fame). It was also in 1990 that the band’s first 7”, Nitroglycerine, was released, and has undoubtedly since become a crown jewel in the record collections of a select few hundred. A slew of additional 7 inches were released in the early 90s, on almost as many different labels including In the Red, before the band’s third (and final) LP Outta Here saw release in 1992. - Motor City Rocks

Anyone have 'I Know You Fine, But How You Doin’ to share?
