There are three Gories albums
"Houserockin"
"I Know You Fine, But How You Doin'"
Those are both on one CD that is sometimes called "I Know You Houserockin'"
"Outta Here"

All of them are great. Musically they're pretty rudimentary (Esp. Peg's drumming) but they've got amazing original songs and fantastic taste in cover songs.

Mick Collins would go onto Blacktop and the Dirtbombs which are both full band line ups with bass guitar (the Dirtbombs have two bass players and two drummers) so they're sound is a lot more full than the Gories. The Screws was Mick and Terri Wahl (of the LA band the Red Aunts) and some other LA folks. They made two records and they're both fun, the 2nd one is all covers if I remember correctly.

Danny went on to the Demolition Doll Rods (yes, he crossdressed) who put out a bunch of great records. They are a bit closer to the Gories at times as their drummer was also very rudimentary.

Peg. After the Gories broke up she moved from Detroit to New Orleans and I don't think she was in any other bands.
