matthias von stumberger - surfy fuzzy garage punk

[Happy_tom]

Hi.

I thought people on this forum might like some of my homebrew music, 'couse of the mosrite-equipped influences...


Here are 7 garage surf, fuzzy, trashy 60s flavored punk songs. Hope you like them.

I recorded everything myself, live, straight with a mic plugged into the laptop. Turned out surprisingly good, considering the circumstances.

Everything, including vocals is played through a red knob fender twin and a cheap tubesceramer copy. Well, everything, except the drums, of course
Guitars mostly used are epiphone SG 1961 special and and epi SG standard, with a squier strat thrown in here and there. Bass is shortscale epiphone EB3. 6th track has a cool bass line. Listen to it. Now. Please. Just so buying that bass wasn't a complete wase of money...

enjoy. hopefully...

I like it, but then again I woke up with a moral hangover. Kidding aside, I like it, and the beard is pretty awesome too. I'm guessing you never listen to anything by Billy Childish?

I listen to Underground Garage all the time, and wish they'd play more stuff like this, but unfortunately Steven VanZandt runs the whole darn thing.

What kind of car is that? Very cool, looks like nicer version of a 4 door Gremlin.

My only suggestion is a less modern amp, like a Silvertone/Danelectro. Keep up the good work and keep us posted,

Cool stuff - the epic sideburns are definitely meshuggeneh!

It's a Opel Ascona. Very common car from the 70s in the EU.

thanx, all.

Wow, the Orange Jews page still exests. That band unfortunately never rally took off, mostly becouse the lack of singer, time and seriousness. We never had a gig. We all wrote songs, so after we gave up, I recorded my share of the songs myself. Originally I just gave them to the past band members, but they showed them to others and response was good so I put tnem up on the net. Actually, some garage record label is interested in releasing this as an album...

This is currently my main punk band http://www.myspace.com/zmpband where I play rhythm guitar (I only play guitar 3 years or so, so this is the best I can do )
I play drums in one psychobilly and one hard rock band, but all 3 bands are in desperate need of new, better recordings. Which should happen soon...


Yeah, that's an Opel Ascona mark B (1975-1981) and LSD is an ode to Limited Slip Differential
They were famous for good handling and reliability, but also notorious for rust issue.
That's why it is currently being completely rebuilt. The project is coming along nicely, but it takes FOREVER, so I like to throw in 'smaller' projects, like building a mosrite guitar, then I feel better becouse at least there's one project completed every now and then.

thanx, all.

Yeah, Billy Childish was a major inspiration, although I only have 1 album. But the idea of making an album in the kitchen really stuck.
