Caesar’s Palace, “Jerk It Out” from "Love for the Streets" 2002

This track is utterly, totally derivative of #60s early psychedelia, and utterly, totally perfect, from the swirling #Farfisa #organ out front to those shakers chasing and spicing the beat.

You may know this Swedish band as #Caesars but they originally recorded under the name Caesar’s Palace (with a couple of US releases as The Twelve Caesars).

This track first appeared on their 2002 release Love for the Streets, and they wisely included it on the rebranded band’s ‘debut’ album “Paper Tigers” in 2005, where it’s most widely available (albeit not on the sole vinyl release, nor the Swedish CD).

I knew them first from Paper Tigers, #PowerPop that makes it hard to sit still, with some of their earlier, grittier #GarageRock feel still intact. Whatever the name, wherever you find them, these guys get the job done.

#NowPlaying this wild new band I found the other day-- they're called The Lotts, they're from Warrington, UK, and this is their most recent EP, 'Ice Cold': thelotts.bandcamp.com/album/ic

It came out in 2022, but it sounds like it could've come out in the 60s. They also have some newer singles from 2024 on Spotify, if you choose to brave that wasteland.

At first I heard a definite Stones influence, then Beatles, both of whom were influenced Chuck Berry, who I also hear. I hear some Kinks too, and maybe even Zombies. And as @wendigo pointed out, there's some Blue Cheer in there. Great, simple blues-based fuzzed out rock with catchy, killer songs.

More of this, less of everything else.

#NowPlaying Blue Cheer's 'Vincebus Eruptum' from 1968. Thanks to @wendigo for tipping me off to this. I think I'd heard a cover of Summertime Blues but never this whole record. It's rad as FUCK. Like a more psych Sonics or almost Kinks, with some great, extreme fuzz too- bluesy psych rock or "acid rock". Mudhoney definitely took a cue or two from these guys, too. A KILLER listen.
