Description
For consideration, an Idaho Garage Rocker, on a private label, NWI out of Portland Oregon. This was recorded about 1967 and is in VG condition, with some wear. Plain sleeve. This is a pretty rare record. Here is one of the bands take from garagehangover.com
Jerry added this information:
John Crew formed the Warlocks a year or so before I joined the group. I was playing with another group at the time, but saw an opportunity with the Warlocks that I thought had, if not potential for fame and fortune, at least fairly steady local work.
Recording a record was a goal of most local bands at that time, so we decided to give it a try. Portland was the closest city with a reputable recording studio, so we pooled our money and scheduled a recording session. "You Keep Me Hanging On" was a favorite of John Crew's, so we decided on it for the lead song, and John Anderson had written the instrumental, "Banana Soul" for the flip side. We ordered a 1000 records, and probably sold half of them, and gave the other half away to friend and relatives. The record was played on local radio stations a few times, but never took off as we had hoped it would. I still have one copy framed on my den wall.
I am attaching a picture of Warlocks playing at the "Soul Kitchen" (formerly called the "Cinnamon Cinder") in Caldwell, Idaho, our Saturday night gig for about three years. The band eventually broke up for various reasons, and some of the members played in other local groups...none achieving fame and fortune that I know of.
Some other groups playing in the Boise area during that time were the Crystal Ship and the Lee Curtis Group. I played in the Lump Sum, the New Critics and, later, Street Level. I quit playing in bands when Street Level broke up in 1978. There was one person that I used to jam with who did become quite well known for his music and song writing...Bill LaBounty, who played with Fat Chance out of Seattle.
If I may, I'd like to say that my son, Todd Sloan, picked up the music bug from me I suppose. He has made made a career in the Seattle and Boise area. His band is low-fi, check him out at myspace.com/lowfirocks. Todd writes all of the band's material, and they are planning to record a new (independent) CD in January.
