THE MIND GARAGE - Asphalt mother

[@LMurphyMusic]

This is my grandfathers band. Never knew his old band was so good!

[@harryknackers7892]

How long did it take you to figure it out?

[@Trentonpage]

Was this song a hit? What guitar was used? And organ.

[@DDavi04]

really?

[@chrisbinckes2732]

the time is now for you to create similar music... save this world from the strangling grip of religions and suburban entropy

[@jennifermorin1377]

Do I want to young again hell no I keep Rock in with shit

[@jesikebiking]

I was a bass player with a local group( 4th Divison) when the Garage came out (68-70) and played this song and loved it

[@brunoguerineau8928]

Fuzz overdrive groove hamond garage garage !!!!! i like it!!!

[@narinderdhanjal221]

A bionic supersonic fuzz grooving psych smasher - an incredible tune which I've been spinning in my deejay sets on vinyl 45 for years now - grate post! ;o)

[@russcohen3779]

Love this gem ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@joegongora2200]

Great Fuzz guitar work !!! Now it's called a Distortion pedal. This song really rocks .

[@gordonhuskin7337]

distortion and fuzz are not the same thing

[@Da_Publick]

​@@heggy_69It's true, though. I just finished watching a review for a modern Fuzz, and the guy's playing reminded me of this song.

[@heggy_69]

@@Da_Publick oh yeah he is right lol

[@MrBilgey]

Superb band!! They sound contemporary! Brilliant!

[@BobDaPumpkin]

i learn most of this song by ear! this is awesome play!

[@procious]

the band is not well known for being the first Christian Rock band because there was no money in it for the record companies when we recorded it. People but in recent years it is becoming more well known. no one knew of or bought Christian rock at the time, till a few years later. Asphalt Mother was recorded before we started Christian Rock.

[@chrishenniker5944]

procious This is nothing short of miraculous that you produced a sound like this. If only Cliff Richard put out stuff like this in 1967.

[@MrLewisFloydHenry]

Love the swagger in this track

[@thebfhbluesband9877]

My cousin's band played this song in High School. I remember it well. Classic!

[@BeckHarveyChannel]

I never tire of that guitar solo!

[@wikusbotha3974]

Interestingly, they have been credited for being the first Christian Rock act

[@karimtabrizi376]

This was my uncles mothers band in high school.

[@rcole3321]

You’re grandma rocks than

[@waykoolrecords]

Frickin' Great !

[@johnmccleary2551]

I had the pleasure of emailing back and forth with the singer Larry McClurg, He was a good guy. However I don't he was too happy with me comparing his angst singing style with Korn's Jonathan Davis.

[@Awesomehippie16]

i cant believe this band declined playing at woostock

[@johnrossini3594]

heavy psych yes sir

[@EvilsthePelvis001]

Super song !!!!

[@josephpratt4225]

Sounds like Pictures of Matchstickmen!

[@tigerbug69]

Love that false ending!

[@russcohen3779]

Wo awesome

[@Antestorix]

WOW , amazing song

[@jeffmitchell9713]

say them several times in Fairmont, WV playing Sun. Mass

[@ohmtronseedling]

fantastic!

[@brucegordon7248]

Apparently they were popular to be asked to play at Woodstock, but I never heard of them, or the Morning Glori record label.

[@brucegordon7248]

Yes indeed. Who would have thought a band from West Virginia would produce such a groovy sound.

[@brucegordon7248]

Bruce Gordon Morgantown, West Virginia to be exact.

[@MrErdner]

This was a homemade, self-released single. They were then signed by RCA, who didn't have a clue as to what to do with them. It appears that RCA wanted to pitch them as the "new Doors", with lead singer Larry McClurg as a Jim Morrison type. RCA finagled an invitation to Woodstock, but the band said "no". They did two albums for RCA, the broke up.

[@brucegordon7248]

@@MrErdner Oh, so the band didn't want to play at Woodstock. I think that was a mistake because it would have given them more notoriety and might have launched a successful career. I didn't know RCA signed them. I see you wrote this reply a year ago, so sorry for the slow response.

[@christophergarrahan4535]

I loved this stuff so much, I named my band Asphalt Fathers. I love the acid rock mass, as well. We only did a couple shows, but always did Asphalt Mother, sans organ. There might be something on youtube. Now we're The White Dicks. Look us up. thewhitedicks.bandcamp.com/

[@onab]

Out of Darkness is from the UK

[@davidlevene5727]

have you heard LAGHONIA? check them out

[@Trentonpage]

Whats the song about??

[@TheZappawizard]

@szamif I guess hindsight is 20/20 too, but I would blame it on the Jesus just so I wouldn't have to take all the blame for making a bad decision... lol

[@Lewelltam]

Nah, there was a few Christian beat group bands in the UK before this.

[@Kylerk]

an early metal classic, a christian rock band for sure....but the lyrics to this song, hmmm.. ''tear your pretty clothes off'' // i'll make you sweat. anyways...

[@procouswest20]

this is before the band ever did Christian Rock.
