Tired of waiting around for the world to end, or to be abducted by aliens, four delinquent cretins were brought together by dumb luck and a shared love of Rock n’ Roll. They learnt three chords and started busting out face melting music. Soon they will be playing at your wedding, Pak’n’Save op...

Get your motor running! Head out to New River!

Now, The Cavemen (NZ), after their recent month-long sacking and pillaging of Europe, may not be in absolutely mint condition but they could be used in an emergency. Two years is an emergency for me.

Our advice to you, the discerning consuming public, is to get cheap tix in advance.

Unless you have so much spare cash you can't fit it all in your mattress.

Next gig: THE THANES vs The Beatpack, a garage psyche special!

Advance, discount, no-booking fee tickets from, as always, https://www.14thfloormusic.co.uk/product-category/gig-tickets/.

The Thanes have been playing their 60s style garage beat folk punk pop and odd little forays into the realms of the psychedelic for 35 + years now!
Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, among the more iconic groups The Thanes have appeared on live bills alongside are: ? & the Mysterians, The Remains, The Crawdaddys, The Beatstalkers, The Sonics, Lyres and The Pretty Things! In 2011-12 the group joined forces with the late, truly great George Gallacher, and Fraser Watson of THE POETS, to resurrect the music and feel of the highly acclaimed Glasgow 60s beat legends. With the death of lead singer George Gallacher in August 2012, The Poets are no more!
2014-15 saw The Thanes unleash a couple of well-received 7″ singles in the UK , “Dishin’ The Dirt’ on Dirty Water, and “She’s Coming Back To Me” on State; backed with The Poets “Love Is Fading Away’.

Labels who have supported The Thanes over the years include: DDT, Screaming Apple, Misty Lane, Distortions, Larsen, Corduroy, State and Dirty Water … At time of writing, 15/03/23 The Thanes are: Angus McPake, organ, guitar, Gordon Brady, drums, backing vocals, Colin Morris, bass, backing vocals and Lenny Helsing, guitar, lead vocals. The “live” LP “Roh Und Liebendig Nicht In Köln” was released on Germany’s SoundFlat label in October 2022, while a 4-song 7” EP was issued on the Disques Rogue label in France, issued in May 2023!
———————
Formed in order to play the kind of wild teenage Rock’n’Roll, 60s garage punk, Rhythm & Blues and raw blues that all five members grew up on, The Beatpack have been around in various shapes and forms for thirty years now, albeit with a two-decade break in the middle!

First time around, they recorded a 45, an EP and LP for German label Screaming Apple, and then vanished in a puff of smoke, only resurfacing in 2012. Since then, two more 45s and two EPs have followed, along with tours of Spain and Germany and their second LP, All Good Things (Turn to Dust) came out on Spinout Nuggets in December 2022 and is available here: https://spinoutnuggets.bandcamp.com/album/all-good-things-turn-to-dust

DJ Pervy Mad Cat on the decks.

It’s gonna be great! Thanks to Reprobate Media for these words:

“After a brief hiatus, Su***de Generation, the heirs to the Reatards' raw punk legacy, are set to ignite the stage once again with a highly anticipated comeback show. On May 4th, 2024, the fiery quartet will take over Paper Dress Vintage for a night of blistering energy and unapologetic rebellion.

Su***de Generation's return comes hot on the heels of their third album release, promising fans a fresh dose of their signature chaotic sound. With their gritty lyrics and relentless guitar riffs, the band has carved out a niche in the punk scene, earning praise for their electrifying live performances.

Joining Su***de Generation for this explosive night are the mighty Atomic Suplex, known for their high-octane garage punk sound that's sure to keep the adrenaline pumping. DJ Pablo Colorado will be on deck duty, spinning tracks to keep the party going well into the early hours.”

We've managed to get a few copies of the brilliant Spiders LP back in stock!

The first recordings by the legendary pre-Alice Cooper garage band the Spiders!! In 1965, Jack Curtis took the Spiders into Floyd Ramsey’s Audio Recorders studio in Phoenix, Arizona, where they recorded two fantastic tough garage band versions of “Why Don’t You Love Me” and “Hitch Hike.” Curtis released the songs on his Mascot label in September 1965 on a now insanely rare 45. Sourced from the original master tapes, this new album presents the entire, uncut Spiders session, including alternate takes and tracking session highlights of “Why Don’t You Love Me” and “Hitch Hike” along with a fantastic, previously unreleased version of “Don’t Blow Your Mind” recorded by Curtis in 1966 prior to the version that appeared on their second single.

Limited edition of 1000 copies pressed on red vinyl—includes liner notes by Dwayne Witten of Mascot Records and Mike Dugo, with insert plus a numbered repro of the Spiders’ original business card, and a repro of a 1965 Spiders button!! What an incredible set!

Available while stocks last from:
