Never heard of The Unheard Of? That one never gets old…
We are from the Midwest in the U.S.A. In Wisconsin near Milwaukee. We’ve been around for 35 years playing and recording Psychedelic Garage Band Music…

We have been on quite a few record labels in the past and we still sell records and get radio airplay in other countries like… Greece, Italy, France, Canada, and now I hear in London. We are Greenbay Packer, Milwaukee Brewers, Wisconsin Badgers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Drag Racing fans As Mark is one of the main announcers at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove Wisconsin, One of the oldest and renowned tracks around.

The Unheard of formed in 1984 as an outlet for a bunch of like-minded guys to get together and play the music they liked. Through a few line-up changes over the years, we’re still bringing the garage sound of the ’60s into the new millennium.

Using vintage Vox amplifiers and keyboards, we keep the sounds true to the pioneering bands in the genre, yet our songs have a modern feel and can take you back in time as well as move you into the future, all at the same time. We also try to bring the vibe of the ’60s into our shows while avoiding the ‘oldies’ or ‘nostalgia’ show kitsch.

We’ve been featured on 3 compilations CDs released with Greek garage music magazines, and on Nightwaves, a very cool garage show on Canadian radio in Saskatoon Saskatchewan.

In addition to playing a live set on WMSE Radio in Milwaukee during their annual fund-raising campaigns. We’ve also recorded with Glenn Rehse of Plasticland, and members of The Petals.

Enjoy the sounds, close your eyes, and let the music take you wherever you want to go! We’ll see you at one of our live gigs, and let the music open your mind!
