For those of you who are not going to Cavestomp, The Bomp 25 Year Anniversary Party is happining at The Garage in LA this Saturday! Those not in the know, Greg Shaw was the first person to revibe the 60's scene in Southern California. Greg and his Bomp/Voxx indie labels put out all the wonderful 60's, R&B, soulful, garage, mod bands including The Unclaimed, The Crawdaddies, The TellTale Hearts, The Gravedigger V, The Pandoras, The Morlocks, DM3, "Battle of the Garages" comps and a bunch more of wonderful bands we all know and love. Oh and not to forget that Greg was the mastermind behind fab Cavern club (home to many of the above bands) in the early 80's! For what ever it's worth, Lee and I also owe Dionysus's success to Greg and The Bomp Family! In the early days, Greg took Dionysus under his wing and really helped the lable get started. Greg was also indirectly responsible for hooking me up with Lee! Suzi Shaw has always been a mentor to Lee and I. And Patrick, Betsy, Paul, and Raul are some of the most fab and dedicated music lovers in this scene. Support Bomp! If it weren't for them (directly or indireclty) we'd be missing some of finest music around. Cheers to Bomp! Aime
