Record geeks always rejoice at the names that turn up on the Ponderosa Stomp’s lineup—but let’s face it, not everyone can be a record geek. This year the Stomp is making it easy with a custom overview video, Behind the Curtains, which they’ve posted to Youtube.. We’re betting you already know the first two featured songs, the Standells’ “Dirty Water” and Chris Montez’s “Let’s Dance”—but maybe you’ve missed out on the full glories of Swamp Dogg’s “Total Destruction to Your Mind” or the Sloths’ deliciously primitive “Makin’ Love.” Wonder no more and meet the giants that still walk among us.
In additional Stomp news, they’re hooking in some big, soon-to-be-announced names for the film and panel series on October 3 and 4 at the Wyndham Riverfront Hotel. And they’ve announced October 3 at d.b.a. for the annual DJ event the Hip Drop; prepare to be dazzled by the very proximity of hundred-dollar funk and garage-rock singles.
