In spite of my Pistol-mockery, I will grant that The Filth ANd The Fury, produced by Julian Temple, is one of the finest Rock and Roll movies ever made.  An excellent biopic of the rise and fall of a musical phenomenon, and it makes the point that by the end of the Pistol's first UK tour, the scene had already been co-opted by rich kids playing dress up.

An excellent film, regardless of your take on the Sex Pistols.

No Wave: DNA, Sonic Youth, Teenage Jesus & the Jerks, Glenn Branca.....

Deerhoof is a newer(compared to the others) band but they have a lot in common with the old no wavers, and I like them. so.........

However all of these bands mentioned in this thread are owned by The Shaggs

The Shaggs definitely fall into that "weirdest music I've ever heard" category.

Naively creepy, they sound like they could have formed in the looney bin..    :rofl: ::madclown::

I don't believe their father was a hippie, if you're referring to the Shaggs dad and not your own.

Meet The Shaggs http://www.shaggs.com/meet_the_shaggs.html

WHERE else would Austin Wiggin have got the idea that his daughters should form a rock band? Neither he nor his wife, Annie, was musical; she much preferred television to music, and he, at most, fooled around with a Jew's harp. He wasn't a showoff, dying to be noticed-by all accounts he was an ornery loner who had little to do with other people in town. He was strict and old-fashioned, not a hippie manqu

What other 60's Beat band was made up of U.S. soldiers who stayed in Germany after their tour of duty  to create some brutal, weird music.  They wore monks' robes on stage, sported tonsures, and featured a frantic banjo player.  Gary Burger choked some sounds out of his guitar that would have fucked with Lou Reed's head.  Get "Black Monk Time", find out why Sonic Youth thinks these guys were the shit.

I first became aware of the Shaggs in a book called "The Best Bands You've Never Heard" or something like that, it was all about obscure cult favorites.   I think the father was more of a mainstream kook than a hippy, just some weirdo who really liked music and thought his daughters had talent of sorts, which I think they do.  There's a lot of other cool bands mentioned in that book, definitely worth checking it out if you can find it, it will turn you on to a lot of cool sounds you probably haven't heard before, or even known of.

ARRRRGHHH!  I had that on 8-track when I was in High School.  We abused drugs and listened to that feedback-vacuum cleaner- in- it's death -agonies whine constantly, everyone being jarred when the tape jumped tracks.

A friend of mine went  too far with his acid intake and would sit on the floor with his guitar, trying to play all the "melodies"  he was hearing in MMM.  The terrible thing was, I started to hear them, too.
