Gimme colourful garage-punk bands NOW!!!

[El Tiki]

1st: I don't believe in Race
(what a fucked-up word-invention ... we're humans - and that's that!)
2nd: If you do believe that races exist, here's a translation of my oppinion for you:
I'm a racist - I hate the race of assholes - and it has any colour!

AND NOW (after clearing out the shit) - WHAT'S THIS THREAD REALLY ABOUT:

After 25 years of enjoing Garagepunk & goin' to Gigs, I realized, that (at least here in Europe) the Garagepunk-Band-Scene is very mono-coloured & pale ...
and again: no - I don't believe in race (read 1 & 2 again, if you don't dig it).
The Garagepunk-Band-Scene is basically pale-skinned ... why is that?
Is this a Garagepunk-Phenomena, or is it just my unknowledgeful blindness?

I'm gonna list the bands that come to my mind, being of many colours & nations (and I'm not listing souly 70ies bands like "Sly&the Family Stone" or punkish 80ies Bands like the "Bad Brains", but really the
Garagepunk-shit) ...

I'd be thankful to all of you, to list others
& show that the Garagepunk you listen to is not "for-white-kids-only"

So here's my list, and please expand it!

- Love
- Can
- The Morlocks
- The Dirtbombs
- King Khan

Hi!

that's a pretty interesting theme. There's a documentary about this phenomenon (it rather deals with US hardcore punk, but still...) called "Afro Punk": http://www.afropunk.com/. It's worth checking out.

Cheers, Doc Sanchez

[Joanie Lindstrom]

What about Death? The Bellrays?

[Lenny Helsing]

of course, and if yer talkin punk type things 'stead o garage or strictly 60s type o groups then we should also include Pure Hell

[Ken]

? and the Mysterians!

[kopper]

Let's not forget the multitude of Asian bands (or band members), too. There are also a lot of great Latin American bands & garage/punk music fans... Brazil, Argentina, Chile, etc. Here's another one: Davila 666

[John White]

The Gories

[ixnayray]

The Jewws?
The Dirtbombs?

[Rockin Rod Strychnine]

You can add the Makers to this list as Michael and Donny are Asian-American. Actually I guess you can add the Mummies as well and Maz is of middle Eastern descent.

[Rockin Rod Strychnine]

Sorry. I think it's kind of funny that the Gories was submitted by a person who's last name is White.
