Titolo: [Psych-Garage 80] Morlocks

Ho risentito sabato, dopo un po' di tempo, il fake-live dei Morlocks che
ritengo eccellente.
C'è qualcuno che abbia altre cose di questa band e che possa farmene un
giudizio anche sommario?
Thanx
BT

Schiantosissimi, psych-punk devastante. "Submerged alive" fu un
piccolo cult degli ultimi eighties.

 The Morlocks
"Unbeknownst to H.G. Wells (author of The Time Machine), Morlocks are
not only "carniverous beasts" who dwell underground, but they're also
time travelers of the New Age. Open up your mind to the rhythmic,
pulsating, enthralling sound of The Morlocks and you too will travel
through time... to the past; when '60s GO GO clubs in London's Carnaby
Street and psychedelic discotheques of San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury
district were the place to be... To the future; envision places and
people unwitnessed by time and seen by a select few... where motion,
sight and sound over-ride all of one's senses and catapults the
conscious mind into the dream world of the unconscious self. 
The Morlocks' unique synthesis of outward teen innocence and inward
spiritual/mystical vision results in multi-dimensional musical
composition and explosive live performances. Feel the tempestuous
magnetism of The Morlocks as they emerge from their underground
habitat, expose the sights and sounds that will send your mind freely
reeling to places it's never seen before, or has long since forgotten.
The Morlocks were conceived in late August 1984 when bassist Jeff
Lucas, guitarist Tom Clarke and drummer Mark Mullen succeeded in
recruiting vocalist Leighton Koizumi and guitarist Ted Friedman (both
former members of Voxx recording artists The Gravedigger Five) to form
a raving band influenced by '60s punk and psychedelia. The group
immediately embarked on an intense and ambitious rehearsal schedule;
within weeks they were ready to rant 'n rave live on stage. The
Morlocks played their first club gig in September at The Rave-Up in
Los Angeles; they received two recording offers the same night, and
shortly thereafter signed a deal with Midnight Records of New York
City. Their debut mini-LP Emerge was recorded in December of that
year, to be released in the spring of 1985." 
The Morlocks subsequently moved to San Francisco where they became one
of the city's top attractions, and recorded a second record for
Epitaph (a "fake" live album called Submerged Alive) before eventually
calling it quits. After their demise, two obscure 45s appeared with
old demos, and according to the book Knights of Fuzz, there was a
Croatian live LP called Wake Me I'm Dead (anybody who can prove this
exists is urged to contact us immediately.) And that was the end of
the story until Ted Friedman show up one day with an unreleased live
tape, which has magically become the album Uglier Than You'll Ever Be.

grazie per la segnalazione del sito ... non lo conoscevo
e visto che parliamo di psych-punk devastante ti ricordi degli untold fables
e dei cynics
che suoni dilaniati (disto + wah wah) e che voci lancinanti ....
ciao

 che suoni dilaniati (disto + wah wah) e che voci lancinanti
....
io credo che i più scalcagnati di tutti fossero i Tell Tale
Hearts, ma la concorrenza era fortissima. Anche il primo dei
Gravedigger V, nel suo genere. Altre stagioni politiche.

questi (soprattutto gli untold fables) erano più ligi all'ortodossia
garage, il che non toglie che fossero godibilissimi.

I cynics si sono un po' persi col tempo, ma i primi lavori sono ancora
molto  raw.
