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

(Goddamn!)

Blacktop 'I Got A Baaad Feelin' About This' (1995)
A remarkably prophetic title for the first and only album from Blacktop. Formed as a collaboration between former Gories leader Mick Collins and Fireworks frontal lobe Darin Lin Wood, the band staggered through sessions for one album, a U.S. tour, and a second session that resulted in a few singles before personal conflicts and chemical dependence issues caused the band to collapse after little more than a year. It's hard to imagine Blacktop having an especially long shelf life, given the often scattershot recording habits of the principals and the band's dark, swampy monochromic sound, but they sure blazed bright during their short existence. The blues-shot noise of Collins' primitive guitar work and scruffy vocals find a superb counterpoint in Wood's rockabilly-from-hell guitar runs, and the subsonic bass of Alex Cuervo and minimalist percussion thump of Janet Walker pushes the songs forward with muscular assurance while keeping the proceedings suitably creepy. Unlike the frantic high-treble twist of the Gories, Blacktop oozes a dark menace on these sides, and this stuff ranks with the least wholesome party music ever committed to tape. - Mark Deming, All Music Guide

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!

Inebriation

King Sound Quartet 'The Getdown Imperative' (1997)
Keep Mick Collins (Gories, Dirtbombs) and add Tim Kerr (Big Boys, Poison 13), Alex Cuervo (from Dallas’s Gospel Swingers, Feast of Snakes, Now Time Delegation, Blacktop, This Damn Town) and Stephanie Paige Friedman (Sugar Shack, Lord High Fixers, The Spoilers, Big Foot Chester).
They didn’t last long.
King Sound Quartet was a band who played raw and abrupt material, an obscure and violent garage rhythm & punk, making concessions to Sun Ra.

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?
