who rides for Stoner Rock?

[onetet]

Colour Haze was my shtt for a while a few months back:

and I can get down with Om and High on Fire in the right mood (and almost always w/ some Black Sabbath and Deep Purple).

Haven't heard much of the music so I can't comment in that respect... but damn, are these not some of the least appealing album covers to be grouped together in one post?

good thing I wasn't asking who rides for the album art.
no diss intended, it was just an observation. i know not to judge a book by its cover and generally like music of this genre.

Sleep is killer!!!!!!!!!

Yes.

Hawkwind, Om, Kyuss and I would even say Royal Trux. They don't have the typical sludgy, power-chord-heavy sound that's usually attributed to stoner rock, but the sound is definitely of the stoned variety imo.

Another good band in this vein: Nitzinger, who had a few albums on Capitol and 20th Century. With a title like this, you can't go wrong: "Louisiana Cockfight" from their self-titled first album.

Indeed....another Texas band, John Nitzinger was in the band Bloodrock prior to going solo.

El Diablo from Mexico has done some great 70's sounding stoner rock.

Kyuss is mostly good too.

thanks for the props GBH...I love me some headband and bellbottom steez...

I was hanging out with Dickie Peterson of Blue Cheer a couple weeks ago and he told me that they were getting the Lifetime Achievement Award from High Times...they were on their way to the ceremony in Austin...that must be the stoner rock grammy

Clutch and Mastodon, too.

I may be repeating from above - I can't see all the images posted.

Yeah, I had the same thought upon entering this thread. None of that artwork is exactly selling the "stoner vibe".

That Stonehenge is a killer.....I spoke to the guy who ran the label but he said Nasco had all the tapes.
How much stuff did they record?

Speaking of killer tapes that are just being sat on and the owner doesnt want to do anything with them nor allow anyone else to do anything with them...there is an entire Black Rock (of "Yeah Yeah" fame)LPs worth of tapes sitting over at Selecto Hits..but dude wont do anything with them nor let anyone else do anything with them....bummer

Yeah, about that...looking at one of your previous posts, I'm surprised how many non-LP stoner rock SINGLES there were, 'cause this kind of music was ALBUM music from the gitgo, I'd say. Stoner-rock on 45 is like JAZZ on 45...

I've been slowly getting into a thing where I've been buying Blue Cheer spinoff records (in addition to Blue Cheer themselves). Mint Tattoo, Silver Metre, and former B.C. guitarist Leigh Stephens all had really good albums apiece...

This is a nice one that's not too hard to come by:

I've also been feeling this lately:

the second one isn't showing up for me, what is it?
Just corrected my post with a wacker, more pixellated image. The record is "Fireball" by Deep Purple.

Not sure how much Stonehenge recorded.....there are at least 5 45's on the label that I have seen but they are not all rock.

There is so much stuff that could be re-issued if not for wacky label owners/band members it's a shame.

That's so weird -- that is a sign from a forest preserve not far from where I grew up. Where is that band from? I've never heard them.

 

[pickwick33]

A few more I gotta speak on:
- Groundhogs (particularly their United Artists albums like Who Will Save The World?)
- Three Man Army's A Third Of A Lifetime (Kama Sutra)
- Litter's Emerge (Probe)

Plus, some singles:
- Mouse & the Traps - "Wicker Vine" (Bell)
- Crazy Elephant - "Dark Part Of My Mind" (Bell)
- Curley Moore & the Kool Ones - "Funky Yeah" (House Of The Fox)

This 10" is nice, too

[djdaze]

sidenote - Any of you stoner rock dudes feeling Wolfmother? I know they're kinda corny but I dig em. just wondering what the general consensus is.

 

[Grandfather]

yeah I already know how that dude feels, lets try having our own opinions, mkay?

 

[The_Hook_Up]

not the best recording, but check out "New song Live" on this page:

the guitar and drums start to kill shit about 1:17 and the drum fills at the end of the song would make Bonham proud(as well as the kick work throughout the song)...pity about the fidelity...

I believe Lori (singer/guitarist) is originally from Chicago; at least her pre-Acid King band Bhang Revival was from there.
