"Last year, I found "Kill M.O.T.O." by M.O.T.O., which I had been looking for for a long time. Found it at a great price too. Still looking for an original "Inflammable Material" by Stiff Little Fingers..."
Kicks just got easier to find.
garage / punk saxophonists
It's a little easier to find info and compilation of the R&B and Rock n' Roll saxophone greats like Hal Singer, Big Jay McNeely, Herb Hardesty (Fats Waller's main cat), Lee Allen (Little Richard and other NOLA guys), Jimmy Wright (Frankie Lymon and Rama Records), Lionel Prevost (Excello saxman), Sam "The Man" Taylor (Screamin' Jay and Atlantic), etc. --
My questions are: who are your favorite garage / punk saxophone players?
I always wonder if I'm missing out some punk or frat rock or garage saxophonists, who do you like? Or any particular singles that you dig the saxophonic frenzy on? I know Surf bands often had sax instrumentals, but none stick out for me deeply.
For example, I love Rob Lind from The Sonics and Johnny Paris of Johnny & the Hurricanes.
For contemporary cats, I've been hearing this guy Dick Boogie from Japan, he's a bad ass tenor sax honker!
I wonder if you all can turn me on to some more screamers and honkers!

I don't know who the members are but there's a group calling themselves the Gentrys that's NOT the "Keep On Dancing" guys. They do asong called "Wild!" on Back From the Grave Vol. 7 (vinyl edition). And it indeed wild. Saxaphone kind of started to disappear after 1966. Even Rob LInd didn't do too much on the third and final Sonics album. Which is why he sang a few numbers. Probably not considered garage proper but the Las Vegas Grind albums have tons of Saxaphone related tunes.

Yeah, man, saxophone started to disappear coz you could get the honk and scream out of a voice or a fuzz box and guitar distortion. I forgot about that Gentry's tune! A phlegm covered gem if I ever heard one! Thanks! I've heard one of those Las Vegas Grind things they got some nasty tenor saxy R&B stripper music action.

Am listening to a podcast right now from 2006 (One Cup of Coffee and a Cigarette) and it had a pretty killer tune called Dog Fight by a group called the Hitchhikers and had some great sax on it. Sounded like it came out between 1963-1965.

I love a lot of that guy's playing -- Funhouse is one of my favorite albums of all time. More due to Ron, Scott Asheton and Dave Alexander tho. Yeah, I mean I grew up getting into Steve McKay's sax playing. Iggy told him to play like Maceo Parker (J.B.'s main alto man) on acid! It's kinda how he plays.

Oh I listened to Rat Surf #7 podcast yesterday and The Twisters "Count Down 1-2-3" is still haunting me for the weirdness of the sax playing alone. Very cool. Uncoventional sax playing for a cool lil instrumental. No cliches!

Oh, I actually played a gig with my friends band where one band -PRSMS- covered "1970"
and they - Passive Aggressor - covered "Fun House." That was my first gig with a saxophone.
The bands are kind of intense psychedelic noisy hc punk devo beefheartcore whateverness.

They'd both have to be to want to cover those two tunes.
