1313 Mockingbird Lane - the Second Coming of (1989)

To patrons of Valentine's and Last Vestige, you may recognize organ player Kim from serving you up some drinks and records respectively. Albany's 1313 Mockingbird Lane (name inspired by the address of the Munsters) were rulers of spooky garage rock which was equal parts sleazy rock and psychedelic weirdness that makes for a good toe tapper. They were pretty prolific in the late '80s and the '90s, disbanding in 1996 after playing their last gig at Pauly's Hotel.

Definitely for fans of The Cramps, probably more accurate comparisons can be made but I've always had a blindspot for garage rock. This is their second effort, so it has lots of grit and grime which feels pretty complimentary for the source material. Something brings to mind Murder City Devils too, but it may be from the obvious use of organs and the general dark atmosphere. Drop some LSD, put on a sexploitation movie, and get weird with this shit.

Tracklist:

1. Teenage Devil Doll
2. Tilt-a-Whirl
3. Things Are Different Now
