CD Reviews

I discovered this cd set on the Soma website

"I discovered this cd set on the Soma website about a dozen years ago. I remember many of these groups playing at the Anoka (MN) Armory on Friday and Saturday nights. Liar, Liar - Little Latin Lupe Lu - Let The Good Times Roll - Run-Run-Run. This is good stuff if you like this kind of stuff - and I do. Sound quality isn't 100% in all cases and some of the tunes are a little obscure but, hey!, this was early 60's garage punk..."
Hmmmmm...

"Sixties pop music from local Minnesota dance bands. Will appeal to lovers of garage bands and those who "grooved" to this music on WDGY when it came out. There are a handful of fine performances (the Underbeats especially) and a couple of national hits (Surfin' Bird, Liar-Liar) but alot of it is amateurish and just plain dull. However, Little Latin Lupe Lu is KILLER, the best garage-band tune I've ever heard, and blows the doors off of Louie-Louie."
Great garage band examples

"Though some midwest garages can be "cold", especially in the winter, this complilation serves up some "warming" fare. The classic "Surfin Bird", by the Trashmen is here and a bouncy "Run Run Run" by the Gestures. The "sleeper" here is "Ride On" by the Torres...classic SOMA echo coupled with jangling "Byrdsesque" 12-String, solid bass line and driving drums...interesting stuff!"
