USA Garage rock ala Seeds

 

TERRY from the EXPLODING HEARTS new band. More 1970s-style American power- pop.

 

1978 saw the birth of Nikki Corvette’s career with the release of the Nikki Corvette and the Convertibles single "Young and crazy b/w Backseat Loveand Criminal Element. This was all happening in Detroit during the punk rock explosion where Nikki would see herself sharing the stage with The Ramones, Johnny Thunders, The Romantics and many more. Up until then she had acquired a pretty decent rock and roll education by attending MC5 and Stooges gigs and by being on the road with The New York Dolls. By 1980 the band name was changed to Nikki and the Corvettes, a band name that would become synonymous with being the template for many female fronted punk groups to come. They would release their legendary debut album on BOMP! Records, an incredible mixture of 60’s style girl group vocals, twangy guitars and teenage pop with plenty of punk rock attitude, with songs about cruisin’ for boys and fun in the sun. The album and band would influence everyone from The Go-Go’s (to go for more of a "pop" sound) all the way to The Donnas (see the lyric"I Wanna be Like Nikki Corvette" from Gimmie My Radio), and around the world to Japan with The 5678’s. The album has consistently stayed in print and by the early to mid 90’sbands began to record and release cover versions of the classic Corvette tunes. The new interest drummed up by the second generation of Corvette fans prompted BOMP! to re-release the album on CD for the first time along with the early singles in 2000. The success of the CD gave Nikki the chance to return to the stage in 2001 and ’02 when she traveled to Mpls, MN to playthe Rock Action Festival to meet Travis Ramin (producer, songwriter, musician for The Short Fuses, Candygirl, Tina and the Total Babes) and Miss Georgia Peach (singer songwriter and bassist for The Short Fuses and one time guitarist for The Gloo Girls). Together they would play Nikki’s biggest show in over 20 years and go on to record a new 45 single Love Me / Whats On My Mind , which recieved rave reviews. Once the world heard that Nikki Corvette was back the demands poured in. With the addition of Johnny O’Halloran (Dogmatics, Magnolias, Tina and the Total Babes) to the group the band soon to be known as Nikki Corvette and the Stingrays would play LA , NY and go on two Japanese tours, where the response could have been referred to as "Nikkimania!" After four years of playing together the new band decided that the time was right to record a new album. So now after 25 years Nikki Corvette releases a new album of all original material on Dollar Record Records titled "Back To Detroit", a mixture of classic Nikki and the Corvettes sound and all of the great powerpop and punk rock that preceeded it and that it inspired. From the Chuck Berry/MC5 driven title track "Back To Detroit" to the pure power pop of "I’ve Got A Heartbreak" , the summertime sound of "Just Can’t Say" and the ’77 NY punk swagger of "So, Kiss Me", Back to Detroit offers just what Nikki’s die hard and new fans have been waiting for...high energy rock and roll!

 

Yeah! early 80s power-popper NIKKI CORVETTE is back in action...and the girl’s still got the early rocker still !!! More catchy power-pop tunes since 1980. Hope that this single will be just the beginning of Nikki’s reentrance to the scene..

After the two contributions for the collection on RUDI PROTRUDI’s FUZZTONES’ TRIBUTE VOL. 2 album and LOST-IN-TYME VOL. 4 CD the first Longplayer of these 5 Frenchmen from Paris is released on SOUNDFLAT RECORDS! 14 GaragePunk smashers utterly in the style of THE STAGGERS, THE SATELLITERS, THE CYNICS, THE FUZZTONES & THE CHESTERFIELD KINGS! But the NORVINS aren’t second to none of their examples in no way. 12 self composed powerful 60’s GaragePunk anthems, which all of them pumpingly but rhythmically go ahead. The choice of the two cover versions ’ABBA’ by THE PARAGONS and ’Nothin’’ by THE UGLY DUCKLINGS completes the album and certifies, that THE NORVINS know, how 60’s Garage-Fuzz-Punk is about to be written and performed as well! But also High-Heel Chelsea Boots and the genuine vintaged 60’s stage equipment of the band represent, that THE NORVINS have soaked the sound of the 60’s cryptic savage bands up like a sponge. Furthermore one or two NUGGETS Comp. LPs are standing in their LP collection or being played over and over again! Together or alternately, guitar and organ are the most impulsive and powerful parts within the ultimative sound of THE NORVINS. Supplemented through drums and bass, this still fresh and young band conjures up a distinctive and inventive R&B-Garage-Punk out of the tubes of their amplifiers. Harp and timbrel are the remaining essentials, played by Ed, the frontman, who establishes this instruments besides his powerful and resonant voice, energetic and blaring. Through Eds doozy verve and through the catchy tune and musical structures THE NORVINS prove their originality, leaned against classic GaragePunk of the 60’s. The sound of THE NORVINS is sharper than razor blades and makes sure that your body will start to vibrate and that you will not be able to stop moving because of the right portion of Fuzz linked with the sound of the Farfisa-Organ.
