[bomp] BLACKBEARD LOST WEEKEND 2005: @ the Cave in Chapel Hill

[PsychoPunk1966@xxxxxxx]

Greetings!
 
 
WLECOME BACK TO 1966 (with good reason)...
 
 
I am on vacation now, and it was well earned.  Just as I normally like  to do 
when I get a bit of free time, I like to go out and hear some good live  
music.  That's exactly what I did this weekend.  I attended 3 days of  garage rock 
at the 2005 Blackbeard Lost Weekend 
(_http://www.demonbeachrecords.com/thespinnsblackbeards.html_ (http://www.demonbeachrecords.com/thespinnsblackbea
rds.html) ).  This yearly festival is hosted and organized by The Spinns 
(_http://www.demonbeachrecords.com/spinns.html_ 
(http://www.demonbeachrecords.com/spinns.html) ).  Some of the bands that performed this years that I liked were New  
Planet Trampolines, which sounds like Pink Floyd back during the 1965-1968 Syd  
Barrett era.  Another band that caught my attention were The Jet Set from  
Milwaukee, and it is just straight forward Farfisa organ driven angst.  The  
Lobsters proved themselves to be exciting as usual.  Dexter Romweber (and  the 
New Romans) rocked.  The Points combined 60s garage with early 80s new  wave 
really well.  Let's not, however, forget The Spinns.  They have a  debut CD 
entitled "Lost Colony," which is available for $12.00.  They are a  cool Chapel 
Hill trio seriously influenced by The Gonn and maybe really early  Rolling 
Stones.  By the way, I was the MC of the event this weekend, and it  looks like I 
will be the MC next year.  And I thank The Spinns  for making all of this 
possible.  A DVD of Blackbeard Lost Weekend 2004 is  also now available which costs 
(I believe) $10.00.  After 3 days of 12  garage rock bands, I found out late 
afternoon that The Woggles were playing at  the Cat's Cradle.  The Woggles 
provided their usual The Kinks meets The  Fleshtones energy to Franklin Street.  I 
can't wait for The Woggles again  at the next Sleazefest.
