Garage punk history moment:
It PROBABLY all stems from a Cramps Capitol Radio interview in the mid-80s where Lux and Ivy TALK about the 60s East LA bands that all started their names with 'Thee' before the DJ plays Jump, Jive and Harmonize by Thee Midnighters... Seminal moment for me... Not long after that we had Thee Mighty Caesars, Thee Hypnotics, Thee Headcoat(ee)s etc. etc. etc.
What I'm getting at is that all roads lead back to The Cramps... Someone should write that book, cuz it's fucking true... And Genesis was a massive Cramps fan, he loved the shit out of all that psyche stuff... Another regular at Alice in Wonderland BITD..
