Writes Deke Dickerson...
Wow, it's finally here! The Untamed Youth's brand new album, "GIT UP & GO" (on Hi-Tide Recordings)! Just got the CDs in the mail today, and we will be selling them on the Underground Garage Cruise this weekend. The vinyl (and official release date for the CD and LP) will be next month. It turned out great! I'm really happy with the recordings, we got both Chris Montez and Tony Andreason from the Trashmen as guest artists, Chris Wilkinson did a killer job on the album cover--it's a great new album and I'm really proud of it! Hope to see you on the Underground Garage Cruise!
I'm really looking forward to this one! Yeah, yeah--they have some great headliners. But the real action is the amazing lineup of underground cult legends that will be playing all over the boat for the next few days! I'll be playing with my own band The Untamed Youth, doing a set with Los Straitjackets, and making guest appearances with The Flamin' Groovies, The Dictators, The Neanderthals, and Lenny Kaye's Nuggets tribute! Wow, this is gonna ROCK!
