Question Mark & the Mysterians: Singer Supports Suspended Teen Cancer Survivor

Question Mark & The Mysterians - 96 Tears
Filed under: News Ebet Roberts, Redferns The lead singer of Question Mark and the Mysterians , the garage rock titans best known for their 1966 hit '96 Tears,' is outraged that a 17-year-old cancer survivor has been suspended from his Michigan high school for having hair longer than school rules permit. This is not a case of teen rebellion, either -- J.T. Gaskins was growing out his hair for Locks of Love, a charity [...]

In Memoriam – February 2011

Here are February's additions to the celestial chorus.There are a couple of people who died far too young: Clare Amory (35), Canadian folk-singer Diane Izzo (43), English punk singer Phil Vane (46) and grunge pioneer Rick Kulwicki (49) all died of natural causes. Argentinian musician Sergio Embrioni took his own life, and that of 33-year-old harmonica-plating rapper was cut short in an apparent murder. From a personal point of view, I was saddened by the death of Gary Moore, whose Still Got The Blues (For You) is something of a "our song" for Any Major Wife and myself, [...]

I Got 96 Tears and 96 Eyes*

I Got 96 Tears and 96 Eyes* Right from the off, with its rinky dink 2 note Vox Continental organ riff and garage backbeat, 96 Tears is just about the perfect record. Released in 1966 by ? & the Mysterians , it was one of those songs like Louie Louie or Wild Thing that went on to be recorded by everyone and anyone with a fuzz guitar and a hip ear to the underground. It has in its time gone on to sell over a million copies and had over 3 million airplays. [...]

? And The Mysterians :: 96 Tears

For an outfit whose very name professed a preference for anonymity, there's a surprising amount of information available nowadays about this bunch of rockin' Chicano chavales; check out their Wikipedia page for the full Monty. Question Mark himself has gone to considerable lengths to conceal his identity over the years, and why not? It's one [...]

Crocodiles Blend Oldies, Krautrock and Dub On New Album

Crocodiles Blend Oldies, Krautrock and Dub On New Album Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Over the years, Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell have played together in numerous punk and post-punk bands, including the Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, but it wasn't until they formed Crocodiles , a group that pairs pulverizing guitars with '60s-pop melodies, that the San Diego musicians were able to indulge their love of vintage rock 'n' roll. "Rock 'n' roll and oldies and that sort of stuff, we've [...]

Death Resurrects Itself at NYC's Detroit Breakdown

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News When Death comes, it wears a sparkly red tie and matching derby. Well, the drummer does, anyway. Saturday afternoon at New York City's Lincoln Center, the other two members of the long lost, back-from-the-grave Detroit proto-punk trio kept it monochromatic, rocking head-to-toe black and flowing dreadlocks. At the top of the set, before the band played a single note, one of the musicians crossed the stage in a monk's robe, signaling the start of the nighttime portion of the 'Detroit Breakdown,' a celebration of Motor [...]

Gories Unlikely to Record New Material

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Steve Shaw Last July, in the span of 15 days, the Gories played Spain, France, the Netherlands, England, Belgium, Germany and Italy. The tour was the Detroit garage-rock trio's first since calling it quits in 1993, and as successful as it was, the band wasn't sure there would be another. "We definitely had a good time last year, but we weren't immediately like, 'We have to [...]

Gories Recreate Classic Sound on Reunion Tour

Gories Recreate Classic Sound on Reunion Tour Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Last summer, when the Gories got back together and played their first shows in 16 years, they weren't acting on impulse. In the years since its breakup, the Detroit garage trio had grown in stature; virtually unknown in its day, it wound up influencing a generation of bands. Suddenly, there was a legacy to protect. "Over the course of a year of talking about it and thinking about it there was a lot of discussion: Do we [...]

Gories Plan to Wing It on Reunion Tour

Gories Plan to Wing It on Reunion Tour Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Dan Kroha cites distance as the reason he and his fellow Gories aren't rehearsing for this month's brief reunion tour , the group's first in a year and second since breaking up nearly two decades ago. The singer and guitarist is the only member still living in the trio's hometown of Detroit, and getting together with co-frontman and guitarist Mick Collins and drummer Peggy O'Neill -- who now live in Brooklyn and New Orleans, respectively -- simply isn't feasible.

Treasures From The Collector's Slum 019

Treasures From The Collector's Slum 019 When I worked at Crescent Golf Range (formerly 2235 Springfield Ave in Union, New Jersey), I had the closing shift. One night I was driving home from work late and listening to Tony Coulter's show on WFMU, and the DJ was going on endlessly about a garage rock band called the Bachs. Tony played two tracks from their album Out Of The Bachs , and I was floored. I'm no garage rock junkie (in fact, the only two LPs I own that I can think of off the top of my head are this one and the Rising Storm [...]
