THE MYSTERY GIRLS
self-titled (Trick Knee)
Reviewed by Alan Wright

---

Who were the Mystery Girls, you might ask? Well, besides being the name of a great New York Dolls song, they are also a really cool garage-punk band from Green Bay, Wisconsin. While the Dolls would be an obvious comparison, there's much more here. They draw on a lot of the same blues and R&B music that the Dolls likely drew on, and there's plenty of wailing harp (courtesy of both the singer and one of the guitarists!), not to mention some sweet organ playing on certain tracks. Most of all, though, this is just really good rock and roll.
