The Steppes

Barely Appreciated

THE STEPPES
 
 
The Steppes  were an Irish American guitar based neo-psychedelic rock band that emerged in the mid 1980s.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

The Voxx Records retrospective CD, Be a Caveman: The Best of the Voxx Garage Revival (2000) presents one incredible song after another that has led me to buy several full albums by the bands on the CD; besides the Crawdaddys, the CD includes songs by the VertebratsDMZthe Chesterfield Kingsthe PandorasGravedigger Vthe Miracle Workersthe FuzztonesHypstrzthe Surf Triothe SteppesDwarves, and many more.

Yet another SS-20 song, “Still I’m Sad” (the Yardbirds song) is on a split 45 that was given away by an Italian magazine called Lost Trails, with the other side being a live performance of the Patti Smith Group song “Dancing Barefoot” by the Australian punk rock band Celibate Rifles.  Discogs has several more of these free 45’s listed that feature other bands from the Bomp! Records roster, such as past UARB the Tell-Tale Hearts, Gravedigger Vthe Fuzztonesthe Steppes, and the Miracle Workers
