Garage records played at Niters.

Posted

If this has been done before I apologise as I did do a search before posting this..

As our scene has crossed paths with many different music genres from r&b, Latin soul, beach music etc..

How much of it has come from the Garage scene?

I know we had the seeds pushing too hard and gypsy drywell, innkeepers never should have done it..

Forest fire on main street, covered as lord Sitar and the Baltimore marching band..

I know Keb used to slip one or two in but my memory isn't what it was 🥲

So would appreciate any help

Mick

    There were 'garage' scenes in the 60s and 70s way before the name was nicked for the 90's genre.

    Most of these songs on this thread are NOT pure "Garage". Most are "Blue-Eyed Soul", some are Blue-Eyed Soul/Garage hybrids, one or two are Blue-eyed Soul/Funk hybrids. As I remember, Garage Rock song

    Garage, didn't the term come from where they generally practised as they had no access to proper facilities, namely the Garage. Just guitar bands from my understanding.

    Bit A Sweet was a HUGE spin on the Mod scene in the early 2k's. Infact I'd class it as freakbeat and not garage or even northern.

    The ultimate oxymoron. Garage Soul. Most of which is soulful in people’s heads only. Nuff said.

It wasn't knicked by dance music, 90's 'dance' garage developed entirely independently and the garage in that stems from the branch of soulful dance music played at the paradise 'garage' in new York in the early 80's. It coincidentally has the same name.

    Not out right garage in my opinion. Chicano band heavily influenced by Thee Midniters. Great record.

    From the 'Top 500'. 'Nobody But Me'- The Human Beinz. I have had a copy for over 50 years and I've heard it played out in some otherwise great places (can't comment on 'niters' re this though) but I can't take it seriously in a Northern Soul set. For me, it cheapens things and is just plain wrong- but each to their own.

    I've just learnt that The Isley's cut an earlier version of 'Nobody But Me' which is very much an R&B track. It is here:- https://youtu.be/jf5zXwgv5M4?si=NGY6SCqq3NZ-VVDo
