The Seeds - Pushing Too Hard

Sky Saxon and The Seeds get intense on a show called The Mothers In Law. The last word in mid-60s garage rock. One of the commenters says they'd go back to 1966 at the drop of a hat. I know what they mean.

Jacques Dutronc - Les Cactus

Another great freak-out (thanks again Phil). Who says the French can't do rock/pop?

The Mops

Find out about them via WFMU's Beware of the Blog. They were part of the Japanese answer to western beat groups - "group sounds". I love the lyrics of I'm A Mops: "I don't care about that / Cos I'm just a Mops!"

In this clip from the later 60s they rock out in an agreeable MC5-ish way.
