It's time to strap on the leathers, fire up the hog, and hit the road. TDATS 109 is a compendium of biker movie rock, a long time in the making. It's a varied mix, with tracks from obscure bands that were on soundtracks but never made their own album, some that did, some established acts, and some film score writers. I have made this particular volume differently, in that some of the tracks mix into each other, and I have inserted dialogue from the movies and trailers, I hope you dig it!

The original cheap, trashy exploitational biker movies that started the short-lived genre were Russ Meyer's Motorpsycho (1965) and American International Pictures' The Wild Angels. Right from the get-go they were associated with fuzzy psychedelic rock, with Davie Allan's uniquely new fuzzy sound on The Wild Angel's soundtrack. 

The comp was partly inspired by a couple of movies - Angels Die Hard, and Bury Me An Angel. Both these movies included great tracks by a band going under the name East-West Pipeline at the time they were made.  Bury Me An Angel was from director Barbara Peeters, who was script supervisor on Angels Die Hard. She was the first woman to direct a biker film. The movie is about a girl who's brother is shot dead at his front door, for reasons that are not known. Of course, she gets on her bike, buys a gun, and goes on a mission for revenge. She embarks on a journey with her biker compatriots which can only end one way...

This episode is curated by Mik Kay of Heavypsychmanblog. He reveals vinyl rips of lost albums, re-issues of such things from labels like Rockadrome, and his own hand-picked comps, resulting from his searches. He has a great ear for it all. He succeeds in catching the mood and atmosphere of the late '60s/early '70s heavy underground which worshiped the fuzz box, beer and weed with reckless punk attitude. His direct, no nonsense writing style gets you amped-up just by reading about what delights are in store and you can be confident to hear only the most fuzzy, heavy and wildest cuts conceivable. LIsten to the likes of Sainte Anthony's Fyre, The Stone Garden, Jarvis Street Revue, Negative Space, Bulbous Creation and Josefus right here.
