Do you know movies that deal with the golden '60s garage era? Cause I feel my brain more empty than a Jeffrey Lee Pierce's bottle of whiskey about that. Thanks.

Never heard of it!?! ;-)

"Blast Off Girls" by Herschell Gordon Lewis is as real as it gets. He even recruited a real garage band to play The Big Blast. Highly recommended stuff.
I also recommend "Mondo Mod" which has documentary footage of the Sunset Strip including bands performing at Gazzari's and The Whisky A Go-Go.
And if you like pre-fab rock groups there's always Max Frost & The Troopers in "Wild In The Streets".
Don't know the names of the films, but been meaning to look into "The Spiders" Japanese flicks from the 60's...

"Blast-Off Girls" is (of course) an all-time favourite. Can't figure out why the guy plays an inverted accordion instead of a proper organ though. Would love to see a soundtrack come out for that.

What's the flick with "The Bit-O'-Sweet" in it (doing their fabulous version of "Is it On, Is it Off?" - I believe)?? Grungy old b&w flick I think you can get on the Something Weird Video catalogue...
What's the deal with that Remains documentary??...I believe it's called America's Lost Band and it premiered at the Boston Film Fest recently. Does anyone know when this will be out on dvd? I read somewhere that it amassed good reviews in the press, they were truly a legendary band. I know it's not remotely close to garage but I thought the recent Townes Van Zandt doc and Tim Buckley live footage dvd's were excellent as well.

Dig - The Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Dandy Warhols (not 60's)....I have always stuck to my guns on this one and felt Brian Jonestown Massacre was nothing special - way too overproduced and the songs just aren't there. The lead singer in Jonestown is no genius but probably just as big an asshole and poser as the lead singer of Oasis. I know some people would enjoy this though.
