60's underground garage punk/psych rock thread

I figured I'd make a 60's garage punk/psych thread. I'll add to it now and again. In order to dig this music, you have to see it from the proper perspective. Most anything I post in this thread is from 1966-1968, which was the golden era for this genre. This was a time when hippie kids were very optimistic about the future of the youth movement and very enthusiastic about drugs, sex and freedom. This stuff is great because it's both silly and kick ass at the same time. These are just primitive 45's that hippie kids or hippie type kids put out across the country and which never made a dime at the time, but which now command thousands of dollars each in some cases because of their scarcity. It's the missing link in the evolution of hippie to punk.

Good links. Both of you. Pigasus, you're a big Garage/Psych fan huh? Nice. It's so funny. These records are so incredibly obscure, yet you probably couldn't buy most of them with $10,000 (each). Collectors of those 45s are very serious about it. Here's one I like:

you'd be right about that, i'm a big fan of obscure early psychedelic shit, and garage shit. also the song you just posted is sick, has a very 13th floor elevators sound to it.
i also like a lot of bands that came out in the punk era that were influenced by the early garage "nuggets" type stuff. for example, you posted green fuz by the green fuz, have you heard the cover of that song by the cramps? check it:
also, here are some punk bands that either cover or are heavily influenced by garage/protopunk shit from the mid 60s:
urinals - urinals 7"
urinals - another EP 7"
DMZ - DMZ (full album 1978)

Right on. But I'd like to concentrate on really obscure 60's stuff. I love The Cramps and whatnot though. And actually, David Peel and The Fugs are even too mainstream for this thread. This is what I'm talking about here. I love this one. This is the spookiest psychedelic song ever made.

for sure, so was the electric eels, simply saucer, or the deviants stuff fitting for the thread? also i figured the 13th floor elevators and the seeds are a lot more well-known than the fugs or david peel.
if there were any full album uploads of the "nuggets" albums i'd totally just post those, haha.

I think the Elevators and The Seeds are too mainstream for this thread. I guess, for this thread, the song has to have been from the 60's and you can't have made an entire album, at least under that band name. Here's a good example. This song is some blood raw garage/psych. Completely uncooked, yet completely fried.

yeah that's what i'm saying, i still think they & the fugs etc. deserved a post since at least like 95% of the people here probably haven't heard them. at the very least they'd be considered more or less "underground" by the standards of anyone not already deeply into this kind of music.
i'll stop debating about the criteria for yer own thread though learyfan. as a fan of this kinda music i for one am impressed, i haven't heard hardly any of the shit that you've been posting so far (except the green fuz), and i dig it all man!
i'm just going to post one last thing that doesn't quite fit the stipulations if you don't mind, but it's underground, obscure, and was literally recorded in like a shed (close enough to a garage, lol) in west virginia, the only thing is that this was recorded in the 50s not the 60s, and so it can't be called "psychedelic" but this guy was also kind of crazy so his songs have some very strange themes and some of them sound weird in a way that could almost be called a predecessor to this type stuff. i present the one and only hasil adkins:
^about how hes gonna kill his girl and put her head on his wall, and therefore she will not be able to eat any more hot dogs
^this one particularly has a demented somewhat psychedelic sound befitting his lyrics instead of just being lo-fi rock and roll/rockabilly
^i just like this one
did i mention that he recorded this shit as a one-man band? playing guitar with a jerry-rigged drumset so he could play mostly with his feet

k i won't post any more stuff unless i'm sure it fits the bill. i just had to do this, my apologies.

Hasil is cool. Not exactly what I'm going for, but as you said, most likely no one here has heard of him. It's funny that he's from the same town as Jesco White and the rest of the White family, who are now most well known from "The Wild And Wonderful Whites Of West Virginia" documentary. This song from Hank Williams III is about Hasil and the Whites. Hasil gets the first mention in the first 35 seconds of the song. Put the link together to play.

There was no underground punk rock in the '60's. That didn't happen until the late '70's.

No offense, but you don't that much about the history of punk if you think it started in the late 70's. Just wiki 'punk rock'.

yeah, it wasn't really well-defined as an actual genre until the 70s but people had been using the term "punk rock" to describe raw, primitive, underground garage-type rock for at least a decade earlier than the CBGB scene started popping up in the mid-70s and punk "officially" started.

Yea the Stooges and Velvet Underground were big influences, and Iggy and Lou are both called the godfather of punk. NY Dolls in the early seventies had a stonesy form of punk well before late 70s punk. You can also make the argument that the earliest, most primitive songs by the Stones, Who and Kinks were proto-punk.
