Autumnstoned Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Bit off of topic but what is or was 6ts garage? Never heard that term before Could you give me a couple of examples? Good luck with your club naming search How about soul quest ? ;) Spike Classic 6T's garage https://youtu.be/tHyGVEXmJGc Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Andreas B Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 I think of teen beat bands and a general aesthetic of amateur 60's rock n' roll and rhythm & blues sounds, perhaps with a bit more fuzz and recklessness than, say, classic 60's northern. I should note that I'm in no means a pro on this stuff, as I handle the soul end of our club exclusively. but getting me...or probably anyone on this forum...started on 60's soul, thats another story.

Ljblanken Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 another place to look for names (instead of song titles) is label names. i just started a night here in california called "The Bump Shop" (late 60s soul / early 70s funk / gritty R&B). i wanted it to appeal to younger non-soul fans who just want to dance... 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest MBarrett Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Bit off of topic but what is or was 6ts garage? Spike - it's a good question. I was musically aware from the very early 60's on and absolutely don't recall it being used back then. This is confirmed on Wikipedia which says: During the 1960s, it was not recognized as a separate music genre and had no specific name. In the late 1970s, some rock critics retroactively identified it as an early incarnation of punk rock, and it is sometimes called garage punk, protopunk, or 1960s punk; however, the music style has predominantly been referred to as garage rock.

I'm originally from San Diego, now living in Denmark but have lived around the state a bit too. Bump Shop is a killer name, and depending on the scene surrounding the place hosting it could have a double meaning if you catch my drift Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Bump Shop is a killer name, and depending on the scene surrounding the place hosting it could have a double meaning if you catch my drift i am in the monterey peninsula area. it is not exactly a big "scene" town (no big college or anything), but we get some late-20s to mid-30s people out (there are a number of graduate schools and military officer schools here). i stress both "lounge" style mid-tempo/deep soul (like Spencer Wiggins "lonely man", Eddie Floyd "holding on with both hands") to dance stuff (Lillian Hale "boom boom", Dee Edwards "why can't there be love"). its a hoot!

MB you guys don't know "garage rock"????? it is so much fun!!! i think of it this way. black R&B artists from the 50s and 60s were copied by white british groups (kinks, spencer davis, beatles etc) - and then white suburban teens in america try and copy that, but in a very crude, raucous way. it is also closely related to "frat rock" and "freak beat." it also was born around the same time as surf. the BEST popular garage band is the SONICS sonics - have love will travel or the fabulous wailers wailers - mashi the white stripes came from the detroit garage-revival scene (along the Von Bondies, the Hentchmen, etc) and Ohio (where i am originally from) has a lot of garage revival bands (the Long-Gones, the Pariahs, the In-Sect, the Greenhornes, etc) from england, a famous garage type bands is the Headcoats there is nothing more fun than a drunken basement show of garage bands... ps - if you are responsible for my funeral arrangements, play the Sonics version of the old huey piano smith song "don't you just know it".....

Guest MBarrett Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Nothing but good memories of Copenhagen and its inhabitants - having done a bit of work there in the late 80's. I remember all those green (verdigris) towers and domes. I definitely have a photo of the one in your logo (Christianshavn district?) in an old album. Best of luck.

Andreas B Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Correct you are MB, thats the tower of the "church of our savior" in Christianshavn Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pomonkey Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Bump Shop doesn't score on originality, a night with that name ran for years at APT in New York, do totally agree it's hard to come up with a name that's not been used before or doesn't use some cliched "a-go-go" type term Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
