Thee Exciters
Perpetual Happening
It's been four years since 'Spending Cash, Talking Trash', the last long-player from Southampton combo Thee Exciters, and since then southern England's garage (and with a name like that, they had to be garage, right?) scene has remained in rude health with a veritable banquet of retro rockers to feast upon for music fans of that persuasion. Being less one dimensional than many of their contemporaries is what gives this quartet (drums, bass, guitar, vocals, natch) an advantage, drawing from many facets as oppose to picking a time/band/style and sticking to it rigidly. 'Perpetual Happening' doesn't deviate from rock 'n' roll/garage/punk, but what it does achieve is a diversity that few others choosing a similar path obtain.
