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)
