Ugly Things Issue 72 (Summer 2026) Jim Valley

In an extraordinary interview, Jim “Harpo” Valley talks about his years on the early Northwest rock ‘n’ roll scene with the Viceroys and the Goodtimes, his wildly eventful year with Paul Revere & the Raiders at their 1966-67 peak, a summer of love solo career that failed to launch, and the dramatic events that sent him to live alone in a cave in Big Sur. Then, from “Louie Louie” to Fun House, Don Gallucci tells all about his adventures with the Kingsmen, Don & the Goodtimes, Touch, and producing the Stooges’ seminal second album. Also, the wild ride of 1965-67 Sunset Strip garage band the New Generation, the continuing saga of ‘60s Canadian psych/rock legends the Collectors, and a short chat with writer/musician Michael Moorcock. Plus our life-sustaining reviews sections covering the latest reissues and music-related books. (152 pages)
