Here are three gems of garage rock/punk/pop joy for you, especially designed to brighten up a drab and dreary January Sunday. We've posted about the Mind Spiders and the Thick Shakes before. Both play a wonderfully uncluttered, joyous form of proto garage-rock that is simple, unaffected and damn catchy. We have a track from the forthcoming Mind Spiders self-titled album and the Thick Shakes new 73, Why Buy The Cow . We also have one half of the new Best Coast / Jeff The Brotherhood [...]
There's such a ramshackle sense of enjoyment to Thick Shakes "Go Back To New York." As if the sundry members of this band were a bunch of shabbily dressed neurons, ricocheting about a pee-stained practice space, there instruments crumbling as they implode. Thick Shakes sound like an exploitation film looks, it's good and fun, but [...]

If you want hair on your chest ear listen to the Thick Shakes , Im talking shag-carpet-beat-the-stuffing- out-of-your-teddy-distortion here. Thick Shakes descend from the lands of Old Mass and have a sound similar to the 80s/90s revival, which is strict to the classical ways of the old school, akin to what the Mantles are doing out west. "(Baby) You're A Starfish" is a glorified nugget, it displays the bands talents in the best way. Thick Shakes - (Baby) You're A Starfish
If the format of the above picture looks vaguely familiar to those around our age, it's probably the result of it being an insert cover for a cassette tape case. Today's featured artist has a debut EP that was recently made available on cassette, so practice up on your sellotape/nail polish repair skills if picking up a copy to wear out in the dash. Thick Shakes is a retro garage-rock trio

Milk. Ice cream. In a cup. A shake isn't something you need to think a lot about to consume, and neither is Boston "lo-fi fuzz/punk" band Thick Shakes . Those are the most loving of scare quotes and backhanded compliments, don't worry. Punk! It doesn't really mean anything anymore, does it? This will only add to the confusion, because Thick Shakes is all early-'60s nostalgia. Except, louder? They release stuff on cassette, I guess because they want an excuse not to sell anything. But cassettes are a '70s thing. My brain hurts. Some [...]
I just realized that the last time any of you heard from me I was on my way out of town to see BugGiRL. For all any of you know I never made it back. But I did. The BugGiRL show was great – they gave it their all despite the small crowd. If you get a chance, definitely you need to see them live. I’ve really had a lack of posting inspiration lately, so I thought the best solution would be to hit up the mailbox. It turned out there were a few gems hidden there. [...]

mp3: Quilt - Disco Music For Trees So happy to have stumbled upon this Boston-based outfit. This three-piece plays a hazy mixture of late 60’s to 70’s psychedelia with plenty of soothed out vocal harmonizing and modern ambiance. This cut is from their just released self-titled cassette, which is making me happy my stereo setup still resembles something from the 80’s. I’ll be hitting up PA’s Lounge on the 11th to check out Quilt [...]
