Liza is dj-ing at this garage/rock n roll thing on Saturday. Inevitably that means I have to lend her a load of my painstakingly collected psychedelic sevens and a big slice of (ahem) my painstaking achieved cool that goes along with them.
Amongst them I pulled out a tune called She's Mine by Children of Darkness which (despite the goth name) is a rather sweet, albeit raw/primitive garage number with a killer hook supplied by the lurching farfisa organ melody.
I love the tune, but today I wanna mention how it reminds me of a totally unconnected (I assume) band with a strangely similar name - Sons of Darkness were apparently a funk combo who put out this raw as fuck funk seven - also comes on a label with a pretty basic (probably home made looking) red label
The way it blasts out of the speakers reminds me of garage, it's a savage three minute eruption of anger and energy and it kills.
So, that's two of my favourite killer totally unconnected sevens... love how both bands claim to be, one way or another, the offspring of darkness... do you prefer the Sons's savage funk? Or the swirling seasick sike from the Children?
Either way, doing this thread has caused me to look Sons of Darkness up on discogs and it turns out they had a few sevens.

That's three sevens I don't got, with the following tunes; What it Look Like/Black Ice, How Much I Love You/Funky Thing, Funky Thing/Funky Thing
Gonna check 'em all out and see if I need any of these records....
