Reviews of tasty and obscure hook-filled rock'n' roll releases (Glam, Heavy Bonehead Crunchers, Powerpop, Pop/psych,Garage, Surf, 60s Girl Group Rock)...Plus any quirky musings that tickle my fancy...
I created this blog in order to stimulate interest, share discoveries and encourage people to go out and search for the original vinyl. Hopefully this blog might also encourage labels to actually compile some of this stuff officialy.
Sky Blue Pink - Oats(My Future Depends on You/ Makin Love Now -Right Now 1571 (US 1970) Sky Blue Pink were a trio out of Ohio who only ever released this one single. Both sides share a similar philosophy of melding Hard Rock riffing with lush harmonies and lighter psych interludes. The effect is quite striking and accomplished, but mean both tracks don't get to fit on the Bonehead scale of things. The band comprised of Daniel Cadaret (guitar/vocals), Gary Ameling (bass/vocals) and Mark Melnek (drums/vocals). Further info here http://www.buckeyebeat.com/skybluepink.html
Red Headed Woman is a great greased -up Crunchin sizzler that sits somewhere between Bar Band Proto Punk (think Frut's Spoiled Rotten), Bonehead with a twist of ersatz Stones -dig the Bobby Keys-like sax break "C'mon purdy Mama shake it for me"...indeed This recording is unreleased ( as far as I can tell), it's by a band called Bros with production by George St. John...My guess it's from 72/73. Anyone out there know more?
