After years of prodding by fans and reviewers, The Patron Saints have released a 2-CD, 45-song set of cover tunes recorded from September, 1966 to late spring/early summer 1968, entitled Before Bohob, Vol. 1 (subtitled Birth Of A Garage Basement Band).
Believe it or not, the Patron Saints also released a NEW studio CD in 2006 with a bunch of new songs (and some re-recordings of some old favorites), called Time and Place. This December, 2005 release contains songs by me (and one by original Patron Saint and Fohhoh Bohob co-writer, Jon Tuttle), with members spanning the history of the Saints: Eric Bergman (original member), John Doerschuk and Kirk Foster (from the Latimer Sessions period), Jeff Alfaro (original PS drummer BEFORE Paul D'Alton on Bohob), and Roy Ellingsen (guitarist from the group Garrison, which was basically a re-named Patron Saints,1978-1980), so it truly is a real Patron Saints album.
You can also find out about other musical releases by the Patron Saints, including Proto Bohob (1999), a collection of Bohob demos from early 1969, and The Latimer Sessions, a 2-CD set (2000) which was the "sequel" to Fohhoh Bohob, recorded in 1971.
If you're here to learn more about the band Garrison, it's all here: the history, information about our 1977 single release You Opened My Eyes b/w It's In De Blood, sound bites, plenty of photos and a video clip or two. The Garrison Anthology 2-CD set (2001), as well as my two solo album releases, Modern Phonography (1978) and Sending Out Signals (1982), now available on CD, is also covered in detail. |
