photo by Laurelish Rudy About a week and a half ago, I had an opportunity to visit with the man formerly known as Don Gallucci. Don’s kinda like the lost and forgotten member of the original Kingsmen that recorded LOUIE LOUIE back in 1963. His keyboard playing is the very first sound you hear […] We are saddened to learn that Roky Erickson, singer-songwriter of the 13th Floor Elevators, has left the land of the living. He passed away today at the age of 71 in his hometown of Austin, Texas. Years ago, I shared a memory of Roky Erickson on these pages on my LOUIE comic blog post […] This week, I’m sharing something that’s not obviously LOUIE-related, but ties into the LOUIE Universe via osmosis. Every year, KFJC Radio, the community radio station where the LOUIE documentary project began with a 63 hour Maximum LOUIE LOUIE marathon (over 800 versions!), celebrates a month of MAYHEM. Along with a series of different radio […] On Tuesday we lost another good guy. Michael Wilhelm was a true original. He was a founding member of the Charlatans, the pioneers of the psychedelic wild west that forged a pathway in San Francisco for the Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and all those who followed. There’s a lot of […] Sometimes Facebook can be a place for lovely distractions. Case in point, LOUIE LOUIE of Madrid, a nightclub we mentioned a few years ago with our special LOUIE LOUIE Clubs/Stores of the World feature, has been sharing a lot of really fun flyers on their Facebook page. There’s no specific references to the song […] This week, I share a “(minimal) LOUIE at the Movies” post. The movie is called “Band Aid,” and it’s an indie film that my friend Jason Roeber found on Netflix. Because Rotten Tomatoes wrote such a wonderful description of this production, and I am feeling lazy (as well as busy with all sorts of […] Today is International LOUIE LOUIE Day! It’s also the day when Richard Berry would have celebrated his 84th if he was still with us! Today in the LOUIE LOUIE Party community page on Facebook, Len Sarfati shared a link to his LOUIE video with this special comment: This is the 2009 comment Jack […] Eleven days ago, we lost Dick Dale, an innovative guitarist that inspired a generation of musicians. He was called the “King of the Surf Guitar,” as he somehow created a music genre that celebrated two things that he truly loved – surfing and guitar playing. He was born Richard Monsour in Boston, Massachusetts […] This weekend, it’s an 80th birthday celebration for Little Bill Engelhart, a genuine Northwest music legend. Little Bill was, and is a very important player in the legend of the song LOUIE LOUIE. Bill was the founder of the Blue Notes, the very first white teenage rock ‘n’ roll band based in Tacoma, […] Last Thursday, we lost Peter Tork, actor/singer/songwriter of The Monkees. According to his website, he passed away after a 10 year bout with adinoid cystic carcenoma, a rare cancer of the salivary glands. For those of us that were young ‘uns growing up in the era when the Monkees ruled the airwaves, this hits […] |
