According to the Searchin' For Shakes database there are four garage groups called the The Aardvarks.
1) One of the three American groups that used the name were from Muskegon and released a few singles. Probably their most well-known numbers is the blazing garage-psych tune "I'm Higher Than I'm Down", included on many comps (most notably Pebbles Vol 11).
2) In the mid-1980's, a London group called The Aardvarks got together.
The Knaves formed in North London/Hertfordshire at the beginning of 2005 and have since spent time crafting an accomplished sound using a wide range of musical influences. The Knaves put out their first record 'Social Commentary EP' in June '05 and are looking forward to playing more gigs and unleashing themselves on the UK. Their shows so far have come with nothing but praise, high acclaim and a tinge of madness.
There is more than one artist with this name. 1) Indie/Electro/Pop from Harrow & Aberystwyth, UK
2)A metalcore band from Syracuse, NY formed in 2008. 1) Consisting of three brothers and two drifters, Rogues combine new wave atmospherics with upbeat dance grooves to create original, ethereal pop music. Formed in the summer of '08, Rogues' pivotal debut shows have generated a storm of interest and established an ever growing legion of followers.
There are several artists named The Outsiders (11 are mentioned here): (1) The Outsiders were a sixties beat band from Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Formed in 1960 as a neighbourhood band from Amsterdam East, The Outsiders became one of the most succesful Dutch groups of the 1960s. They made some lastingly great records and never recorded anyone else's material, with singer Wally Tax writing the lyrics and guitarist Ron Splinter the music for nearly all of the twelve 45s and three LPs they made.
There are multiple artists named The Fugitives: 1. Garage band who released their sole LP The Fugitives at Dave's Hideout in the summer of 1964. 2. The Fugitives, a combination of multi-talented Vancouver artists Mark Berube, Barbara Adler, and Brendan McLeod, have been classified under many guises: slam folk, folk hop, spoken word cabaret. Yet a common throughline is always their remarkable storytelling abilities.
Formed in Santa Barbara in 1988, the black watch have released 13 CDs of highly literary, catchy indiepop; as Andy Gill of Gang of Four recently said in The Independent UK, "Los Angeles has not produced a band like this in a long time; they have, in singer/songwriter John Andrew Fredrick, an artist capable of both My Bloody Valentine miasma AND Nick Drake quietness. Pity that they are relying on a tiny label out of Dorset UK to get their latest fine CD, "the hypnotizing sea," heard."
This obscure San Francisco '60s band gained a degree of notoriety in the '80s when their punk-garage single "Mr. Pharmacist" was included on one of Rhino's Nuggets compilations and covered by the Fall. Actually, most of the Other Half's material was far less garage than psychedelic, featuring the sustain-laden guitar of Randy Holden, one of the best Jeff Beck-inspired axemen of the '60s. Boasting a just-out-of-the-garage approach to Haight-Ashbury psychedelia, the group cut a little-heard, fairly strong album, as well as a few rare singles, in 1967 and 1968.
Several bands go by the name The Plague: 1) 1960's garageband from Canada, known for the song 'face of time'. 2) 1970's Art/Rock band from New Zealand: In 1977 Richard von Sturmer returned from England, according to The Mechanics Of Popular Music "charged with the new punk movement that flourished there. He assembled a troupe of 'actors' and they rehearsed a series of theatre/music pieces revolving around his poetry and showmanship. The called themselves The Plague." They used material from Inside Information; songs such as Frank Gill's An Idiot and Private Property.
