THE REVELATORS

Not the John Schooley band, this is the first group put together by guitarist Johnny Tex and bassist Heino Retief, two South African sons of the garage who’ve become mainstays of the underground fuzz rock scene with a steady progression of bands laying homage to all things lo-fi. Their first outing with The Revelators is pure garage punk’n’roll: three chords, cheap amps, snotty vocals, and rockified hundred-year-old blues scales. Their stripped-down “simple is better” style is apparent already, and Johnny’s classic Stiv-meets-Iggy snarl is immediately grabbing.

THE FUTURE PRIMITIVES

After Revelators drummer Daniel Ackerman finished college, he moved off to England; Johnny & Heino quickly tapped Warren Fisher to bash the skins and The Future Primitives were formed. They grind up pieces of garage R&B, heavy psych, surf rock, proto-punk, and greaser rock’n’roll into a timeless homogeneous mash of thick garage fuzz. Their soundscape is uncluttered, yet with a fullness not often found in a three-piece band, due in part to their unwavering devotion to vintage instruments and analog production.

THE DYNA JETS

Feeling like they’d run their course with The Future Primitives and disillusioned with their experiences with the recording music industry, they all took a step back – or sideways, rather – to gather themselves and get back to enjoying music again. Johnny & Warren formed The Dyna Jets, a two-piece lo-fi combo in the grand neo-tradition of fuzzbox guitars and slaughterhouse drumming. However, not wanting to fall into the cliché of blues punk garage duos, they brought in a thick influence of classic rockabilly cool from Link Wray’s patented tough licks to Charlie Feathers’ whoopin’ hiccups and Cramps-ian voodoo swag. In true independent fashion, the side-step worked: the fan base followed, the press write-ups continued, and they were happily able to keep their distance from big industry meddlers.

THE GUMBO YA-YA’s

While Johnny & Warren were trudging on with The Dyna Jets, Heino was starting over from scratch, writing the bulk of Gumbo's first album (his first forays as lead writer) before he’d even recruited a band. The Gumbo Ya-Ya’s take a cleaner 80’s-style route to the garage, employing a duel-guitar melody machine of psychedelic sunshine, bluesy R&B strolls, vintage garage proto-punk, and beachy bubblefuzz. Warren was initially involved in this band too, but had to step out when he got too busy with The Dyna Jets and the next project on the horizon.

THE FIZZ POPS

Never known to beat a single horse too long, Johnny & Warren have now graduated to a four-piece as well, bristling with tough bubblefuzz power pop. The band is certainly a cousin to their previous rumble rock projects, but delightfully stands on it’s own with bright harmonies and new influences a’la NoBunny or Shannon & The Clams. Only time will tell how long they keep this ball rolling, but so far they’ve been good for at least two releases per project, so hopefully we’ll get another dose before they change things up again.

Larry, big thanks for all this extras, Revelators and John Schooley are great (they toured with Oblivians and had a chance to enjoy their perfect welcomin' set in 90's), didnt have a chance to check some of members' albums (is it drummer who joined later NB Turks?)...

Thanks, Gyro & LoFi - Top notch stuff!

syaver said...

Thanks LoFi for the Fizz Pops!

@Toni Saric-
Sorry, maybe I wasn't very clear: this is NOT John Schooley's band from Missouri called The Revelators. This is a different band with the same name from South Africa. And the members started all these other bands over time. The most popular one was probably The Future Primitives, who got some international exposure and toured Europe.

The other part of your question is: Yes, John Shooley's drummer was a founding member of New Bomb Turks, and stayed with them throughout the 90's before joining The Zodiac Killers in 1999 - his name is Bill Randt.

All that said, I hope you still enjoy the tunes!
