A teenage garage-rock firebrand cut one of the rarest 45s of the 1960s — then vanished. Six decades later, he picked the mic back up. This is a redemption story about a runaway, and an unsung punk rock antihero.
We're making a feature documentary on Ty Wagner's lost-and-found story — from Goldstar Studio to garage-punk cult legend to his return to stages across the U.S. and Europe. We're currently seeking investors and partners to bring it to the screen.

At Santa Monica Blvd & Vine in the 1960s, protopunker and garage rock pioneer Ty Wagner delivered a sound that broke the mold. Then he disappeared from the music scene.
Now over six decades later, Ty has returned to the stage and the recording booth.
"Ty's gloriously snarling vocal and the song's rebellious lyrics assured that decades later 'No Count' would become a garage punk anthem." — GaragePunk Hideout
Ty Wagner is a 1960s Los Angeles garage rock and protopunk singer, born in 1945 in Buffalo, New York, and best known for the cult 45 "I'm a No Count" on Chattahoochee Records and its flip side "Slander." In the 1960s he played legendary California venues like the Rendezvous Ballroom and the Swing Auditorium, opening for acts such as Dick Dale and The Byrds. Prized by garage rock fans and vinyl collectors worldwide, his records became underground anthems long after he stepped away from music. Today Ty is back in the studio recording a new song with producers Steve Fisk (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees) and Hunter Lea (Nancy Sinatra, Lee Hazlewood) at Uptone Recorders in Tacoma, Washington, alongside a limited vinyl reissue and a documentary film on the way.
