Shindig!
28 is out now with the new issue being a ‘USA 60s PSYCH SPECIAL!’
The main
feature is THE STRAWBERRY ALARM CLOCK. The
first part of the group’s story is well written and described by Shindig! thus,
“Their roots lie in
LA's complex garage band scene and their legacy continues to hinge around their
1967 US No. 1 single. Yet somewhere in between these two extremes beat the
heart of a visceral, experimental rock band whose instrumental prowess dazzled,
whose recordings remain high watermarks of late '60s psychedelic harmony pop
and whose star continues to ascend, even as its core members celebrate their
45th year together.”
Also in
this issue is a really good interview with Edgar Jones of The Stairs (and a previous
member of Paul Weller’s band around the time of ‘Heliocentric’), and ’50 Essential
US Psych Albums’.
Other
features, probably of a lesser interest to Mod sensibilities, are features on
New York label, Mainstream Records, The Fallen Angels, Clear Light and Crystal
Syphon. Plus, of course, there’s all the latest news and reviews for retro
fans.
