Wig Out! Freak Out! (Freakbeat and Mod Psychedelia Floorfillers 1964-1969)

Wig Out! Freak Out!, the latest compilation from Two-Piers, dives into the world of Freakbeat, Psych and Mod from 1964-1969. Pulling the cream of tracks from the UK & United States Freakbeat and Garage scenes of the time. Featuring tracks from The Sonics, The Kinks, The Action, Chocolate Watch Band, The Haunted, The Standells, Paul Revere & The Raiders, The Shadows of Knight, The Yardbirds, The Seeds and more, Wig Out! Freak Out! is packed full of Freakbeat and Mod classics as well as rare sought after nuggets.

Talking about Wig Out! Freak Out!, Two-Piers compiler Mark McQuillan says, "The album was inspired by my many happy DJ nights promoting my club night ‘Club Pod’ down in Brighton in the 1990s and my love of all things Sixties Freakbeat. I wanted to put as many great tracks as I could on one compilation, to hopefully bring across the feeling sheer joy of spinning these awesome tracks in a club and seeing the place go off. This compilation isn’t supposed to be a rare crate diggers album, but rather a gateway to give listeners a flavour of the scene, and allow them to go off and discover new and brilliant hidden gems within the Freakbeat and Mod Psychedelia genre, and if Wig Out! Freak Out! does that, job done!"
