Welcome to Episode 56 of Doc Rockavoy's Indy Music Garage! We've been getting into the summer, with its sultry temperatures and serene, southerly Plains breezes, bringing forth the cicadas soon and their velvety unison. The world wakes up in its verdant hallucinations, washing over the senses with the calm of spring and summer. What a magical turn from the nadir of the winter and its alienated endurance. Goodbye winter.
This show is for the quieter moods of summer and everyone stuck at home during the pandemic.
I put on the new Roy Montgomery record, released by Grapefruit Records in Omaha, a real stunning release for a small indy label. I put on lots of bands by the late David Roback, one of the finest guitar players in the psychedelia underground of the West Coast, who passed away in February this year. I put on rare 12" E.P. in the transition from Opal to Mazzy Star with Kendra Smith on vocals. There's also a lot of Preoccupations on the show; Purling Hiss, The Sinners, and Bardo Pond from Philadelphia; Jet Black from Montreal; The Funns, Zomes, and Alvvays, fun bands. There's a track on a weird MBV L.P. I bought which was basically the follow-up to Loveless on an obscure German label, which is a really cool album.
The show is just over 170 minutes! The playlist is: Roy Montgomery-She Keeps Bees, Kendra Smith-Keith Mitchell-David Roback, Opal, Preoccupations, TSOL, The Sinners, The Black Heart Procession, Preoccupations, Bardo Pond, Lush, Broncho, Jet Black, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Vietcong, Cheetahs, Purling Hiss, Roy Montgomery, Mazzy Star, Rain Parade, Alvvays, Kinski, The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine, Flying Saucer Attack, Swervedriver, Flying Saucer Attack, Zomes, L.A. Witch, The Funns, and Roy Montgomery.
