appeared in supporting roles in “Twin Peaks,” “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” and “Under Siege.”
Evans, a 1966 graduate of Flathead High School, hired Roy Barker to record the show. The Vulcans played songs by The Wailers, Paul Revere and the Raid- ers, and Sam the Sham, as well as songs by the prominent Tacoma, Washington garage rock band The Sonics, including their song “The Witch.”
Martens included “The Witch” on “Lost Sounds” upon learning from Chris Bishop, curator of the garage rock web- site Garage Hangover, that it marked the rst time a cover song by The Sonics had ever been recorded. Many more would follow, but the concert at the Kalispell Teen Center was the debut.
After Martens graduated high school in Havre, he worked as a DJ at the radio station at the University of Mon- tana-Northern, and later at KBGA, the independent station on the University of Montana campus in Missoula.
Despite the station’s sprawling cata- logue of Montana-made music, Martens couldn’t nd any local recordings from earlier than 1996, when the station was launched.
Curious about what else existed in the ethers, he enlisted the help of a few friends and volunteers and set up a Face- book page. Soon, the old records started coming out of the woodwork – records by bands like The Vulcans, The Miss- ing Lynx, Thor and the Thunder Gods, Out of Sight, Einstein Intersection,
The Frantics, The Fugitives, and Ini- tial Shock.
Five years ago, Martens’ uncle gave him an Initial Shock 45 – the small, archaic records with the big center holes – and the A-side was titled “You Been A Long Time Comin’,” which inspired the title for the musical project.
He continues to exhume old record- ings from Montana’s history, and recently found a trove of rare nds from the radio station KOJM in Havre – a box of old tapes that include a 1957 never-aired interview with Elvis Pres- ley, who was on a railroad tour when he stopped in Havre.
The project also recently earned a shout-out from Pearl Jam bassist Je Ament, who grew up in Big Sandy, Mon- tana, and played in bands around Mis- soula before co-founding Pearl Jam.
On the band’s Instagram page, Ament wrote about how the cover photo of “‘Long Time Comin’” featured a close friend’s brother, who played in the Mis- soula band The Chosen Few.
“On ‘Long Time Comin,’ Dave Mar- tens has put my friend’s brother on the cover and nally on acetate, nally releasing all of the long forgotten music being made in Montana garages in the ‘60s. Great work, Dave,” Ament wrote.
The full package consists of two LPs, a CD and a 12-page brochure of copious liner notes, and is available online at http://www.lostsoundsmontana.big- cartel.com/
