I just stumbled onto the excellent Garage Hangover Web site devoted to the Nuggets-like sounds of the 1960s. The Virginia part of the site has great info on bands like The Aliens and The Vikings. The same site has excellent snapshots of The Who and Jimi Hendrix playing the long-gone Virginia Beach dome. Wild stuff.
Brent Hosier, by the way has issued several collections of garage rock and psychedelic sounds recorded here in Virginia. His "Aliens, Psychos & Wild Things" CD was released in 2000 and collects tracks from area bands. On the Garage Hangover site, he talks specifically about the tragic story of The Swinging Machines.

Those pics of The Who and Hendrix in Virginia Beach are neat.
