Other info
Bij de 2e editie, ter gelegenheid van de garagebox, verscheen er bij de Oor (?) een bijlage over garage muziek toen en nu, met een uitputtende opsomming en beschrijving van bandjes. Deze bijlage werd al gauw 'de garagebijbel' genoemd, en was de bron van vele ontdekkingen qua sixties garagerock. (Gerdou, http://www.wiels.nl/blog/comments.php?y=07&m=10&entry=entry071025-001000)


Review Garage Box (Oor, 1984/20)

Garage listening test with Claw Boys Claw, from festival booklet

The Nomads

"Kings of garage"... "Modern acid-drenched psychotic r&b"... "Amphetamined r&b hellfire fusion" ... "What the Heartbreakers might've sounded like as acidheads instead of heroin addicts"... Just a few selected quotes to describe the sound of Sweden's The Nomads. (http://web.comhem.se/nomads/storysofar.htm)
