THE REHABILITATION CRUISE - "Mini Skirts" In our journey through the garages of the Sixties, we come now to one of the great untapped territories. For reasons unfathomed, the music of Wisconsin is known far less than that of neighboring Minnesota, despite an active local music scene, the presence of recording studios and a number of prolific regional labels, among them Raynard, Sara, Tee Pee, Target, Teen Town, Citation, and Cuca. The roots of garage punk can be heard in a great many of the records produced in Wisconsin in the years 1958-63: primitive live sound, surfish guitars, wailing saxes, and a reliance on instrumentals and rockabilly. The songs of Buddy Holly, Gene Vincent, Ritchie Valens, et al, were staples in the local dance halls, in a scene that must have closely resembled that of the Northwest, in musical purity as well as geographic isolation. Milwaukee's studios were a mecca for groups from surrounding states, as well as Canada. Many Minneapolis groups ended up on Milwaukee labels. But there was no shortage of local talent, from early on, as a recently released series of compilations, dedicated to rockabilly on the Cuca label, bears testimony. When the wave of British rock broke upon this already healthy scene, up cropped a new generation of bands whose versions Animals, Kinks and Beatles songs generally had a lot more raw energy than the typical covers from elsewhere around the country. Without the fuzz-boxes and loco weed of the Texans, the bands of Wisconsin managed a very creditable synthesis of British-inspired raw energy and classic punk looniness. This album primarily covers the 1964-67 period, and only begins to scratch the surface. Many of the early 60s rockers also bear listening, and may be collected in future volumes of this series. There is also a great deal of later local music, but sad to say, by 1967 standards were dropping drastically in response to an influx of limp horn bands and dreadful harmony pop effects. While punk hung on well into 1969 in some areas. Wisconsin, which had started so early, was among the first to run dry. But never mind; what we've got is more than enough bring Wisconsin closer to the center of the punk map of the Sixties.
