The emergence of the Gories heralded a new Golden Age of Detroit rock beginning in the late 80s; a renaissance of noise and rustbelt rock which lasts through to today. Formed in 1986 by three Detroit natives, none of whom previously knew how to play an instrument — Mick Collins, Margaret Ann ONeill (Peg), and Dan Kroha — they took their name from a band of the same name which appeared in the Gidget series of the late 50s/early 60s. Comprised of two guitarists and a drummer (i.e. no bass), the Gories concocted a primal, raw yet soulful blend of garage punk, culling a wealth of inspiration and cover material from Bo Diddley, Howlin Wolf, and John Lee Hooker. The three-piece also paid homage to the Keggs and Nick and the Jaguars, two other bass-less bands from Detroit.
The Gories began their recorded career in 1987 with two tracks on the Wanghead With Lips compilation It Came From the Garage, Vol. II, the same compilation which featured Nine Pound Hammer (who would go on to become Nashville Pussy). Len Puch, the owner of Wanghead, recorded and released their first album, Houserockin, in 1989. According to legend, these first Gories recordings were executed in a tin shack. For their second album, Alex Chilton of Big Star joined them as producer, recording I Know You Fine, But How You Doin for the French label New Rose. Throughout this entire period, the band continued to release various 7 singles, including a cover of Spinal Taps Give Me Some Money for the Sub Pop Singles Club. In 1992, Crypt released Outta Here, their last album, and then re-released both Houserockin and I Know You Fine in 1994.
Since the demise of the Gories, Mick Collins has continued to perform in Blacktop, King Sound Quartet, the Screws, the Dirtbombs, and has contributed to Andre Williams Silky and The Black Godfather and Speedball Babys Uptight. Dan Kroha spent some time in Rocket 455, but is primarily known for being one third of another Detroit bass-free rock band, the Demolition Doll-rods. Peg ONeill recorded a few tracks with 68 Comeback and is in the Darkest Hours from New Orleans.
