The Lollipop Shoppe
The Lollipop Shoppe was an American garage rock band formed in Las Vegas, Nevada, in 1966. Biography In 1964, Fred Cole (lead vocals) recorded his first single, an R&B original with a group known as the Lords, but the band proved to be short-lived, and in 1966, Cole formed the Weeds. The Weeds consisted of Cole, Eddie Bowen (guitar), Ron Buzzell (guitar), Bob Atkins (bass guitar), and Tim Rockson (drums). After releasing a single, "It's Your Time", on the local Teenbeat Club label, the group headed to San Francisco, where they had been promised a gig at the Fillmore Auditorium. Upon arrival, however, they learned that nobody associated with the Fillmore knew anything about the gig. It was around this time that the band members, who were all of draftable age, decided to relocate to Canada. As it turned out, however, they only had enough gas money to make it to Portland, Oregon, where they began to perform on the local club circuit, gaining a cult following. The Weeds eventuall ...

Garage Rock
Garage rock (sometimes called garage punk or 60s punk) is a raw and energetic style of rock music that flourished in the mid-1960s, most notably in the United States and Canada, and has experienced a series of subsequent revivals. The style is characterized by basic chord (music), chord structures played on electric guitars and other instruments, sometimes distorted through a distortion (music), fuzzbox, as well as often unsophisticated and occasionally aggressive lyrics and delivery. Its name derives from the perception that groups were often made up of young amateurs who rehearsed in the family Garage (residential), garage, although many were professional. In the US and Canada, surf rock—and later the Beatles and other beat music, beat groups of the British Invasion—motivated thousands of young people to form bands between 1963 and 1968. Hundreds of grass-roots acts produced regional hits, some of which gained national popularity, usually played on AM radio stations. Wi ...

Black Lips
Black Lips is an American garage rock band from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in 1999. History The band formed in Dunwoody, Georgia, after guitarist Cole Alexander and bassist Jared Swilley left the Renegades, and guitarist Ben Eberbaugh left the Reruns. Alexander and Swilley were known for their crude antics both during shows and at school. They were kicked out of school during their senior year after the Columbine Massacre in 1999 because they were regarded as a "subculture danger." Drummer Joe Bradley, who had been studying in college after graduating high school early, joined a few months later. They released their first 7-inch in 2002 with tracks from their first ever studio LP ~ completed in 2000 with producer/guitarist Eric Gagnon of ''The El Caminos''. The 7-inch featured "Ain't Coming Back", "B 52 Bomberboy", "Can't Get Me Down" and "Stone Cold" all of which were tracked, mixed and mastered by Gagnon, and was released on their own record label, Die Slaughterhaus.

Lost Sounds
Lost Sounds was a dark wave band from Memphis, Tennessee that was formed in 1999. The band was made up of Rich Crook on drums, Patrick Jordan on bass, Jay Reatard on synth, guitar, and vocals, and Alicja Trout on synth, guitar, and vocals. The band, originally working within the garage rock genre, had a collection of analog keyboards Trout had used in her previous band, The Clears. The bizarre combination of new wave synths and mangled guitars showed a Punk rock influence as well. The band frequently dealt with dark, apocalyptic themes ranging from the Book of Revelation ("Breathing Machine") to the Columbine High School massacre ("Blackcoats/Whitefear"). The band's last show was in May 2005 in Stuttgart, Germany, and broke up right after. Rich Crook went on to write and record music in the band Lover! Former band members have since formed Sweet Knives as a self-described reboot of Lost Sounds, after Reatard died in 2010. History Pre-Lost Sounds In the summer of 1997, Rich ...
