A real rarity from the Detroit scene, 1970 that you hardly ever see.
The legendary White Panthers garage band from Detroit...
Up is one of those "should've been" bands. Similar in sound to Blue Cheer and political philosophy to MC5, Save for two singles, none of this material was released by the band while it was still together between 1967-1973. Up was closely aligned with MC5, living with them in the White Panther Party commune in Ann Arbor and often sharing the bill with them at area concerts. But while the Five and fellow Michiganders the Stooges got record deals and fame, Up remained a regional act. "Just Like an Aborigine" is a high volume cut and example to back up the argument that punk rock was invented in '60s Detroit.
"It's common to name the MC5 and the Stooges among the forefathers of what they call "punk rock," but it was their associates in a third band, the Up, who could more accurately be identified as the real precursors of punk. In fact, if you trace the punk-rock lineage back to the Ramones-and many do the connection- is even clearer, because the Ramones were really little more than a watered-down, cheapened clone of the once-mighty Up of Detroit and Ann Arbor".
"By the spring of 1969 the MC5 had become a national recording act and the Stooges joined them soon after, but The Up continued to toil in the local rock & roll vineyards without ever securing a national recording contract. The Up issued this 45 single, Just Like An Aborigine b/w Hassan I Sabbah, on SunDance Records in 1970, and the 'A' side of another single Free John Now (b/w Prayer For John Sinclair by Allen Ginsberg) on Rainbow Records in December 1971, but no more of their music was to see the light of day while they existed.

Gary Rasmussen later resurfaced in Sonic's Rendezvous Band
