At this odd point in post-post-modernity, the number of bands playing retro-'60s garage rock far outweigh the number of bands that actually made the music in the '60s. The Gories belong in the former category—they recorded in the late '80s and early '90s during a particularly fertile renaissance of the sound—but it's safe to that the Detroit trio of Mick Collins, Dan Kroha, and Peggy O'Neill rocked like few previously had or ever will. Acts like The White Stripes, Thee Oh Sees, and King Khan wouldn't exist as they do now without The Gories, who disintegrated in 1992, with Collins being the most famous ex-member thanks to his leadership of The Dirtbombs over the past 15 years.
