Monkey business

Last time I had an opportunity to see Garaga I arrived too late to see most of their set. Too bad because fuzz and hard rock are two of the things I like most about music. Not so this time around! Despite some technical difficulties (Harshey guitarist-singer Jeff Martin's guitar amp flamed out, forcing him to use Brendan of Elbeejay's somewhat smaller apparatus), the band soldiered on through a set of fine'n'fuzzy tuneage.

Jeff sings! And has amp trouble!



Rhythm section action with Colin Majid.



This has to rank among my Top 5 drummer photos - and Rob Porter certainly is a smashing percussionist.



Shawn Jam Hill, exactly as pictured.



Garaga action!







The whole bunch!



So far, so good!

• Show reminder: There hasn't been much in the way of promotion, so lovers of garage rock should note The Willowz play The Dominion; at long last, Acid Mothers Temple, ace Cali freak rockers Mammatus and our own Castor blow minds at Babylon. The Heatskores, The Superfantastics, Sky Stompin' To Daze and The Scenery play Zaphod Beeblebrox; The Brat Attack, The Nummies and The Nads perform at End Hits.
