These guys (well, ladies mostly) sound like they jumped out of those long-forgotten, second-hand vinyl records that you can buy in well-hidden downtown record stores...yes, the ones vinyl collectors could spend a fortune on. And not without good reason, as these ladies are no joke.
The Meanie Geanies play an excellent blend of mid-60's US garage sound - the kind of music you would expect to hear in latest Quentin Tarantino films and psychedelic garage revival festivals - atmospheric female vocals, non-stopping keyboard melodies, 60's-sounding production...these ladies sound so authentic and original they make the Raveonettes sound like a rip-off.
If you are into vintage garage sounds by bands like the Fuzztones, the Sonics, early Yardbirds and 13th Floor Elevators (yeah!), these girls will not let you down...Keep rocking your socks off, ladies!
They also happen to originate from my hometown as well (Athens, GR), so I hope I can catch them to a gig sometime soon (good ol' An club, maybe?)...More info and MP3 sounds can be found on their Myspace page.
