The Gories were an influential garage rock trio between 1986 and 92 in Detroit. In the beginning the members hadn’t any musical experience except Mick Collins, and they had to teach themselves how to play a very primitive rhythm & blues and 60s proto-punk influenced garage rock. Later Collins (guitar) has founded The Dirtbombs, Dan Kroha (guitar) founded the Demolition Doll Rods. And now here is a song, recorded at a house party in 1988

The Shaw Tapes: Live in Detroit 5/27/88 – LP by Third Man Records. There are some covers: John Lee Hooker, the Stooges etc.

The Gories are reunited since 2009, so they’re an influential garage rock band again.

„We had our first band practice on a Saturday in 2009 and then played our first show on a Thursday near after. We’re a grunge band, must be.” OK, I don’t argue about it. They are from New Zealand

„The Ketamines is music from James Leroy and Paul Lawton. Ambition with no expectation. Love with no motive. Music that will help you through troubled times. Ketamines motto is: love yourself, honour yourself, respect yourself.” Their music is a very special mix of garage beat, bedroom blues, kitchen rock, living room country, bathroom surf, basement pop and homeless glam. The Ketamines releasing 4×7” singles on 4 labels, the covers combine to make one giant collage. The 3rd single
