Among my small yet terribly, terribly influential group of aging rocker friends the pick to click Friday night was definitely Muck and the Mires' EP release show at the Middle East Upstairs. The evening saw the celebrated local garage rockers bashing out tracks now available on 10" vinyl (talk about retro!) courtesy of England's Dirty Water Records, and in general proving to the assembled throng that there is a damn good reason these cats are so much beloved by garage rock king Little Steven. Tracks on the new EP "Doreen", are produced by legendary music icon Kim Fowley and have more of a 'in the garage' sound than the band's previous brilliant Dirty Water single "I'm Down With That" b/w "One of These Days" and my personal favorite "All I Really Wanna Do Is Cry" which I could listen to like, 100,000 times. Apparently the "Doreen" tracks will soon appear on a full length CD (talk about not so retro) to be titled 'Hypnotic'. Breaths will be held!
Below, enjoy the band kicking ass with a live version of
"You Better Write Your Number Down"
