Finally back in stock, the first album from 1971 by this brilliant Mexican psych band who sang in English. A killer mix of late '60s garage psych, UK '60's psych and Santana like moves with ripping fuzz guitars and complex percussion. "Lost In My World" is an all time psych classic.... The band look like a right bunch of long haired freaks on the CD booklet! Stunning


Boy do we love this band. An old, old favorite -- in more ways that one, since these guys hail from the '70s. When we first discovered them a few years back (via their track on the Love Peace & Poetry: Latin America compilation) and then got their albums on cd, we were like, why aren't they famous? Well, perhaps they are (or were?), in Mexico. Los Dug Dugs are, for us, a perfect blend of rock n' roll things we love: garage rock, psych-pop, power-prog. Lotsa cowbell, fuzz guitar, and flute, yes flute (especially on the Smog album). Part Tull, part Beatles, part Kinks, part Kiss...pretty darn kick ass really. Anyway, we've stocked these before, but they seem to go in and out of print, and this is the first time we had enough quantity to review 'em. So grab 'em while you can! There's actually two other equally cool Dug Dugs albums as well (Cambia, Cambia and El Loco) but we can't seem to get those reissues right now.
This self-titled album was their first, from 1971, and is sung in English. It includes some of our favorite Dug Dugs songs, including "Lost In My World" (also heard on the Love Peace & Poetry: Mexican Psychedelic Music comp). There's also the frantic fuzzfest "Let's Make It Now" (which also boasts a drum solo), the groovy jangle of "I Got The Feeling", the equally groovy "It's Over" (with a nice JB's style intro), the very Beatlesy "Going Home", and the lovely, spaced out "Sometimes" among other great tunes.
By the way, they're called Los Dug Dug's on account of being from the city of Durango, in the Mexican state of Durango...
