Legendary garage-punk lifers The Unclaimed hit The Six with CHEEX, The Only Living Boys, and Thee Daywalkers.
The Unclaimed are legendary Los Angeles sixties-punk / garage rock cult heroes, originally formed in 1979 by Shelley Ganz and Sid Griffin. Their raw 1980 Moxie EP helped spark the U.S. neo-garage scene, and their sound still hits with fuzzed-out guitars, psych-pop hooks, Farfisa bite, and dark garage swagger. Their 2024 album Creature of the Maui Loon was recorded before Ganz’s passing, and the band now continues with guitarist/vocalist Patrick Cleary, who joined Shelley in the reformed Unclaimed lineup and helps carry the band’s songs into the next chapter. Their first single from the upcoming LP, “Here’s The Door,” is out now, with a new full-length of Shelley Ganz originals due this summer on Outro Records.
CHEEX - Portland based Power-Pop
The Only Living Boys bring young Portland power-pop with punk edges, bright hooks, and a live show that hits with the kind of scrappy confidence you want from a band still becoming dangerous in real time. One of the newer local acts worth catching early.
Thee Daywalkers are a new Portland garage crew worshipping at the altar of 60s teenbeat, fuzz, and jangly rock’n’roll. Raw, sharp, and built for a packed basement room.
