OS HAXIXINS - UNDER THE STONES - LP GROO0024LP

They are perhaps the best sound advert fo a non-English speaking
garage psych band living in the very instant of here and now. 14 tracks driven by the schizofrenic Diatron organ of Alex Romera, and powerfull fuzz chords trough the fingers of Mr Fiuza. Twelve original songs, and two covers, inspired on the most obsure music made in the 60’s. This brazilian guys aren’t here to play around, this is serious mindblowing music.” Before redemption we can finally back too obscurity”.



The Bubbles - Raw and Unreleased - LP GROO 0022LP

When Belgian-Portuguese duo Jess & James (Tony Lam and Wando Lam) released their third LP in 1969, they already had an impressive body of work under their belt. Playing a highly energized blend of pop and soul, they achieved great success in Europe with singles like "Move" and "Something for nothing". Oddly enough, they were often presented as British musicians origin instead of Portuguese. Jess & Jamed released a couple of well-received albums in the same style of the singles, a brilliant mix of soul, pop and psych, recorded along with the legendary J.J.Band: “Move!” (Palette MPB S-3114, 1968 / Belter 22.281) and “Revolution, Evolution, Change!” (Palette MPB S-3237, 1969 / Belter 22.305).
Their next record wouldn't bear the name Jess & James but instead the quite adventurous name of Free Pop Electronic Concept. “A New Exciting Experience” was a joint effort with experimental composer Arsène Souffriau, one year before the much-lauded “Ceremony”, where composer Pierre Henry is joined by rock group Spooky Tooth.
Later in 1969, Jess & James released their self titled third and final album which is widely regarded as their best. This time they are joined by top session musicians Scott Bradford (keyboards) and Stu Martin (drums) and the sound changes toward a more hard-psych-prog approach, featuring superb Hammond work and some long jams, at times reminiscent of early Caravan.
Here you can find this fabulous album reissued for the first time, licensed from Belter Portugal, plus three bonus tracks taken from non-LP 45s released in 1970-71, in the same musical style.

BEAT BOYS- ST - (ANTHOLOGY) GROOCR 0019lp

Along with Os Mutantes, the Beat Boys represented the most radical element in Brazilian rock: their name, clothes, hair—and intense fuzz guitar raves—were all fierce indicators of a rebel spirit, and this in a dangerous time for such self- expression.

Here is the simple truth: The Beat Boys were at the very epicenter of the cultural revolution that convulsed Brazil during the late 1960’s, that movement of rupture, that bringing together of electricity and avant- garde erudition that has come to be known as “Tropicália.”

They backed Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil for their defining moments as artists—both live, and in the studio on tracks which became the opening Tropicalist salvo (a rare EP). So, what were this group of Argentine rock musicians doing in the forefront of all things outrageous in Brazil?

More to the point, why is it that very few people, even among the Brazilian music cognoscenti, have ever heard of them? One explanation must be the fact that the band were essentially outsiders to the Brazilian music scene.
As unlikely as it was for them to penetrate the inner circles of Brazilian elite musicians (it was unlikely), it was even more unlikely that they would remain there once their closest friends, Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, were exiled from Brazil.This disc includes the Beat Boys entire output under their own name: their sole album—an exercise in what one might call “controlled Tropicália”, laden with torrid psychedelic moments (released by RCA Victor in 1968), as well as a rare singles track from the same year. A 20- page booklet includes lyrics, and an exploration of the Beat Boys’ fascinating story.“Caetano called the Beat Boys, an Argentinean group settled in São Paulo who had been inspired by the Beatles, to accompany him in ‘Alegria, Alegria.’ That, in fact marked the beginning of the Tropicalista thing.'' —Gilberto Gil

THE DADDS - Idées Choc & propos chic - LP - GROO0017LP

The Dadds are able to combine English rock’n’roll with French pop music, everything kept at a rather retro level. The English rock elements show some parallels to The Buzzcocks, The Kinks, the Beatles and The Who, the French pop and rock side hintsLes Problemes or Ronnie bird. This mixture of French and English influences is reflected in the vocals, too. There are eight songs in The Dadds’ native language and two songs in english. This their first longplay, here released in delux vinyl record and our friends at Green Cookie records will release the CD. Dont loose it, the best french garage beat band from years.

THE ACT-UPS-PLAY THAT OLD PSYCHEDELIC SOUNDS OF TODAY - LP GROO0013LP

The Act-Ups were born in 2001 - A monster made up of one volt of Iggy,
one hambone of Pickett,one shot of Hank, two injections of Jeffrey Lee and a case of bourbon. Their first record "I Bet You Love Us Too", released in 2003, was the perfect record for your late night garage party, filled with soul-punk anthems and rockin' rave-ups. "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell", their second disc, saw the light of the day (and hid in the cloak of night) in 2005, fired up by more whiskey than ever before and the demons that came with it.

The record you now hold in your hands rests atop three pillars of puré fury: the two records that preceded it and the live energy this combo unleash upon unsuspecting
pilgrims all across this land.
Behold the Old Psychedelic Sounds of Today!
