Well we thought it was about time we put another compilation togeather for you all but this time we have dug in our very deep and rare 1960's American Garage Punk and Fuzz 45's.

Some of these tunes have been massive hits at The Buzz for the last few years and the rest will hopefully make you come along and request them.

I don't know a massive amount (if anything) about these groups other than they are all American Garage Bands from the late to mid 1960's and rare as hens teeth.

Anyway, download and enjoy the experience.

Ballroom Blitz is the latest night from the people behind The Buzz, Northampton’s longest running alternative dance night. This time we have decided to delve in to the 1970’s for a night of fun, flares, music and mayhem.
However, this wont be your usual 70’s Disco night. We will be embracing other diverse and groundbreaking forms of music popular during that decade.

The Music Policy.

“The 1st January 1970 to the 31st December 1979. 120 months of the most eclectic music from the decade that gave us: Disco, Punk, New Wave, Glam Reggae, Funk, Bubblegum Pop and everything in-between. Backcomb that Afro, drip-dry those flares, secure those safety pins, and get ready for the party of that decade”

We will be utilising 3 rooms at Northampton’s legendary Roadmender venue with 70’s Soul, Disco, Reggae & Funk in the main hall. Punk, New Wave, Glam & Bubblegum Pop in the Front Bar & Cult 70’s movies and TV in the Café BarFeature Films:

The Dandilions - Demo

The Dandilions - 3 Track Demo

Track Listing:
1. Blowin O's
2. Grade A Victoria
3. Luxembourg 2 Cologne

Alright, I just happened to be at the opening night of a new club here in Northampton called Bibliotec with a couple of mates (Tim & Chris) and they had a new band night called Gravy.
Anyway they had a couple of local band on, when all of a sudden this bizzare bunch of young lads came on stage ( I say stage, but actually it was a corner of the dancefloor) who called themselves The Dandilions. This motly crew had travelled from Leicester, not far I know from Northampton, but apparantly, the manager forgot to fill the bloody car up with petrol and of course they broke down. I know this cause they kept taking the piss out of him throughout the set. These boys are not gonna let a manager get away with that sort of thing.

Anyhow, the band came on stage (as I said earlier) and after the first few opening chords had me grinnin like a T**T throughout the whole set, which was infectious. They cleaverly crafted a mixture of Ska/Reggae/PopPunk rhythms with a most bizzare guitar sound the likes of which I havent heard since I first picked up a west 1960's african album by a guy called S. E. Rouge.
And this is from a bunch of lads no older than about 18 years.

The Dandilions live in Wokington




Anyhow, I'm gonna cut the crap and let you download the demo I managed to pickup of the manager. Just remember, you aint never heard anything like these guys and if there is any justice in the world you will be seeing them at the festivals somewhere and sometime this year.
