Fuzztones - BOOM
10" EP - Beyond Your Mind Records (2006)
This 6 track tribute to garage icons, The Sonics, features Lana's phiery Philicorda organ on the sensational stomper, "Caught You Redhanded."
Nein, diese EP ist kein wirklich neuer Release der Band um Rudi Protrudi, sondern eine Art Ehrerbietung an die großen Vorbilder THE SONICS und gleichzeitig ein "Mini-Best Of", ergänzt um einen neuen Song. Der heißt "Caught you red-handed" und findet sich als Opener auf der 6-Song-CD, gefolgt von "Cinderella" und "Strychnine" vom legendären "Lysergic Emanations"-Album, "The witch" von "Monster A Go-Go" und "Boss hoss" sowie "Have love will travel" vom "Lysergic Ejaculations"-Live-Album. Das entspricht zwar nicht wirklich dem Tracklisting des "Boom"-Albums der SONICS, dessen Coverartwork hier nachempfunden wurde, aber zur Ehrerbietung reicht es aus, zumal ja vier der sechs Tracks deren Gerry Roslie als Komponist ausweisen. Alles in allem ein nettes Package für den Fan Joachim Hiller I'm no great fan of bands doing another band stuff, but here The Fuzztones have done as a good a job as anyone could expect. Tracks include “Caught you red-handed”, “Cinderella”, “The Witch”,“Have love will travel”,“Strychnine” and “Boss Hoss” is what you get, a cult band from NY lower east side doing a fine job on music they love so much, and much better than I had first thought when this got here, for garage sixties fans who like to hear other's doing The Sonics this is more than an average attempt, but saying that I would still have liked to heard a full CD worth of music from The Fuzztonesof their own stuff, as this band can play and influenced zillious of bands.

The Cheeks - I Know What You Did Last Summer
7" - Incognito Records (2007)
The Fox On The Vox contributes her agile Ace-Tone antics to "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Memory Line."
Powerpop for the New Millenium!
Nach ihrem 60s Pschedelic Pop Meisterwerk "Raw Countryside", widmen sich die CHEEKS wieder mehr der Garage, einschließlich härterem Gitarren-Sound, prägnantem Rhythmus und treibender Orgel, wobei sie im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Bands aus dieser Ecke gekonnt mit ausgefeilten Gesangsharmonien arbeiten. Mit "I Know What You Did Last Summer" gibt es einen druckvollen 60s Punk Hit der Extraklasse, mit dabei LANA LOVELAND von den FUZZTONES an der Orgel. Mit "Memory Lane" folgt eine flotte, leicht 60s infizierte Powerpop Nummer, so eingängig und brillant vom Songwriting als hätte man es mit einem altbekannten Klassiker zu tun. Mit "On A Night Like This" und "The Ballad Of Will-O-The-Whisp" folgen noch 2 ausgefeilte und zugleich runde 60s Garage Perlen. Auf extrem schwerem Vinyl gepreßt, kommt die 7" mit farbiger Postkarte im schicken Siebdruckpostercover, und ist von Hand auf nur 500 Exemplare limitiert.

The Bonniwell Music Machine
Turn On Europe - Live!
CD - Uncle Helmet (2006)
Lana's meticulously precise Vox organ stylings firmly establish the aura of authenticity essential for the credible comeback
of Sean Bonniwell and his legendary Music Machine!
I had no idea what to expect from this reunion Cee-Dee featuring none other'n noted Music Machine singer Sean Bonniwell leading a whole buncha new members on a European tour from two years back... I mean, who knows what lurks in the minds of men trying to capitalize on their youthful fame and fortune this far down the line, especially those like Bonniwell who have been pretty much outta the limelight and supported by a small yet rabid cartel of over-rambunctious fans and fanzines during the classic era of the "garage band revival" in the early-eighties. Well, if you're worried about Bonniwell going the oldies route and playing crankout hits and misses for flabbed-out aging teenyboppers like one might see at a few other oldies concerts, quitcher frettin' because this take on the Music Machine ain't more sixties fodder for the quick baby-boomer bux at all, and in fact it could only qualify as "nostalgia" if you're the kinda doof who's nostalgic about teenage highschool freakout psychosis! And to top the icing on the cake, these new Music Machiners, especially LANA LOVELAND's particularly acidic organ, add a specific dimension of fear to the recordings, which are particularly energetic live shows played for a sparse-yet-appreciative audience who were probably conceived when Bonniwell was hanging up his guitar strap and glove for what he probably thought was the last time ever!
