Shit, It’s amazing how time can start slipping bya few busy days and all of a sudden I haven’t posted new stuff in almost two weeks But I’m still here, and I’m still listening to music, I wait that to few of you, to who I probably talk to regularly, if any exist still, are totally interested on Well, anyway what I’ve got lined up for you kids today are almost all versions from who is proving itself to be a bartender which serves us spectacular Garage Psych Rock cocktails. I talk about Kyle Thomas, also known as King Tuff, a moniker born when was adolescent while playing with his initials and now use for his solo work, one of the best guys that come to work behind the counter of this good-time rock’n’roll bar.
He comes from a village Vermont southeast and was in a good folk band called Feathers, I think is still in a good metal band with J Mascis( yes, from Heavy Blanket ) called Witch, and plays in two also-great rock bands called Happy Birthday and in which before us today, King Tuff. Thomas also really likes to draw, and spends lots of time working with brushes and pencils, is a multi-format creator, that always brings an interesting angle to every medium. Along with his brother, he created album art for some releases. Filled with primitives sounds, whith guitar, drums and bass simple and straightforward, and sloppy blues brushstrokes, with a frantic rhythm,or like an escapist hippie revival, or with a trippy stoner, King Tuff sound lovely retro, as if scooped straight out of the 60’s rock revolution but somehow way too crazy to be anything but wholly modern. So if you’re thing is garage fuzzy rawness, then really do give them a listen, I´m pretty sure you’ll find it a rewarding experience.

This Colorado outfit was originally known as the Astronauts before changing their name to the Sunshine Ward in 1967 and releasing one excellent single under that moniker. Original members included Richard Fifield (guitar, vocals), Robert McLerran (bass), Peter Wyant (guitar), Tony Murillo (drums, percussion) and Mark Bretz (guitar).
In 1968, Bretz left and the remaining foursome signed to Capitol, changed their name to Hardwater and issued in August 1968 an outstanding self-titled LP that was produced by David Axelrod. The band’s sound is a mix of Psych and Hard Rock with the distorted guitar solo like on Medley: 'My Time/Take A Long Look' and some hard edged Pop-Rock tunes such as 'Love And I'. Nice psych from this midwestern band.
Unfortunately, the record didn't sell that well and Hardwater called it quits in 1969. Peter Wyant would later go on to play on David Axelrod’s solo LPs.
