About Me:: Short Fiesty Garage Freak. I've been there since the CCI days of Mod right on the tail of the Mod revival scene. I moved on through a prevelent pyche/freakbeak phase and was part of original "hair bear bunch".A group of long hairs with beads and bowl cuts in the days when everyone wore suits and had french line hair cuts. I moved on to Garage Punk pretty quickly and was listening to Back from the Grave, Las Vegas Grind and Pebbles albums as soon as I could get my hands on a copy. I've sung and played drums in various bands, but mainly in The Unchayned and have just started our newest piece of reverb'd fuzz madness "The Savage Mynds" I've collected and DJ'd 45's since the mid eighties but have only been collecting seriously over the last 8 years. Before that it was tunes from other gigging bands of the time and less unusual groups from the sixties. I'm now the resident/head DJ at our monthly club The FratCave

Top 5 Tunes at the Moment: This could change tomorrow if I find something new that compares but today it's:
Everybody Up - The Fender IV
Bo Diddly - The Juveniles
Nina-Kocka-Nina - The Dinks
Wont You Tell Me - The Vestells
Bad Way To Go - The Bruthers

Favourite Shops/Sites: Unfair question, there's good in so many shops and sites alike.

Favourite DJs: Anyone with a good Garage collection. Ben Ollins is a personal fav
