I wonder where these guys are today? They were pretty GD good, but just lasted a short while. Probably playing casinos and second-line clubs in So. California if I have my guess! I remember watching this TV "performance" (it was lip-synch, too bad). The band in which each member wore a glove (black, of course!) on one hand, to symbolize their all belonging to a unit together, and no glove on the other hand, to symbolize their independence and individuality.
Awesome song/group. Man this song just hits ya in the gut and makes ya want to lift some serious weights or run ten miles. These guys were the epitomy of BAD. Awesome, just Awesome.
@SgtRock57 You said it - GARAGE hit it big, if even for one hit - as so many did - PSYCHEDELIC - like the PUNK era, it lasted very shorly, but oh so good
Thanks for the clip! It's been 40 years since I bought the '45, and I never actually saw what they looked like. I heard about the black glove thing. Great drummer, when compared to most of his contemporaries. Too bad they didn't have much depth in the guitar area.............. they might not have faded so quickly.
American Bandstand. I remember watching this when it was aired. Awesome song. Had this clip for 25 years and just recently got a clip of them doing "The People In Me".
i have their album with this song on it, there are a number of other really good songs on that album. i sort of consider this to be the first rap song.
This awesome, underrated band enjoyed more hits (like "The Eagle Never Hunts The Fly") but only as local hits. I have always said that this amazing band spawned Punk AND Heavy Metal. I know Sean, he is a very nice guy.

I was in a band called the "Soundproof Cookie" Jar and we played as the warm up band for these guys at the "Hullabaloo" in Hollywood. I think we played they're tune and they got upset?! LOL.

I was 16 when this came to the record shop, gardena ca bought it 75 cents still have it 45 records are great this band is right up there with the seeds pushin to hard. man things where simple back then!!!, loved this song
Wow, this is amazing "whigged out" garage rock as it was transforming into psychedelia and acid rock. And you can see where the Ramones got their look from.
wow. I remember this song... and these guys were the "bad boy band" before the Doors hit the airwaves... like the Troggs and even tougher, better than the Seeds! KILLER VID!
It's interesting to note that all band members have a glove on their hand, someone famous also laid claim to that distinction. Never did like that guy much anyway.
I first heard this song in 1980 by Alice Cooper from his Flush the Fashion album. I always loved it and am surprised it was done about 15 years earlier. Was this '65 or '66?
@MrEvolution513 It was'66. Cooper's version was not as good as the original; however, he had a song called "Clones" on that LP which was a hit and I liked.
You learnt it in Eb and that's the right tune and it goes E in the middle. But look at the fingering in the vid... when it sounds Eb he plays like it was F# and so when he plays E that's C#...
what I mean is that if you play with a standard tuning the fingering is tricky and you can't play it exactly like the Machine because you can't play the bass notes on the 6th (E) string
looks like a gretsch to me. man, just shows you dont have to have 2 acres of drums to get everything you need and then some. How tight is that groove?
Man Ron is far one of the best drummers from the 60's he's very quick and still creative and just don't stick to the basic comps as all the other bands did. Music machine rocks and Talk Talk is one of the far best songs from this era, the two final notes in the first solo just sound so cool and the rest of the song is simply amazing! everything good happened in he 60's :/
@Syndicate93 I was 14, and even then this song just blew my ass off. Still today, it's raw, edgy..almost ruthless. One of the greatest ever one-hit wonders...oh,oh..alright!!
We played backup at a gig in Santa Rosa '66. Black duds, one black glove, they tuned down one note to e flat (guitars), all wore black wigs (I thought they were wigs) and were the first to break with fuzz tone on the base guitar. Early LA heavy metal. And they were great!
More like early punk. Pre-dates Iggy & The Stooges, MC5 and the Ramones. Looks like a Gretsch or maybe a Rickenbacker he's playing? Can't get a good look. Wonder what year this is?
it's just rock n roll, which is all punk music is... everything else is sugar coated pop purposed tunage for the mall crowd. This is an excellent song.
Great track, great band. And one of YouTube's biggest mysteries. Why did the Music Machine guys wear one glove each? AND - why did the keyboards player wear his on his left hand, while the other guys wore theirs on their right? Yes, I know, I need to get out more.
Wow! I had forgotten all about the Music Machine! My band did this song about 8 hundred gazillion years ago! "Talk Talk" is a great side, way ahead of its time. Thanks for posting!
Cool video! A great and somewhat forgotten era in rock. I remember this song from June, 1966. Definitely "proto-punk". They beat Michael Jackson with the single glove feature by almost 20 years!
As I recall, it's been way too many decades, thank you, the idea of one glove for them was to represent the earth and air (or the spirit). Like I said, it's been a long time ....
Despite the heavy, proto-punk thunder of this song, it's remarkably sophisticated. INcluding the odd rhythms and key changes mid-way through. One of the best of the 60s LA punk.
I remember these guys. Talk about "proto-punk"...bands like these invented it. They were from SoCal and this was their "hit". they had another that charted called "Double Yellow Line" in spring of '67. But this one was really their fifteen minutes of fame.
Not exactly. They were The Music Machine for their first album, then all the members quit except Bonniwell. The second album was called "The Bonniwell Music Machine" and only Sean was left.
Up until a few years ago the keyboard player, Doug Rhodes, helped host a regular sunday night jam with Monte Nordstrom & the Belmonts for 11 years at the Brigantine pub on Belmont Road in Maple Bay, Vancouver Island. I attended for a few years as one of the many jam participants, before I accidentally found out the modest & soft spoken keyboard player was formerly of Music Machine. I think he now lives in Victoria, Vancouver Island.
Hi Smudgefizz, True enough except it was with The Beaumonts on Beaumont Avenue. We continue to regroup & perform at annual special events. Thanks for remembering, Monte
This is one of those lost gems. It's right up there with Pushin Too Hard, Hey Little Girl and Too Much To Dream. I love youtube. keep em comming. Peace
That IS weird, because I just went to Wiki and this is the entry I found: "The Music Machine (1965--1969) was an American garage rock and psychedelic (sometimes referred to as garage punk) band from the late 1960s, headed by singer-songwriter Sean Bonniwell and based in Los Angeles." Maybe there's another, less known Music Machine, but it's not this band.
Actually, over the time span it two bands: Euphrates River Project and a band called Obeah, hard blues stuff. We had one single that never charted called Evil. No one alive has a copy. We were kind of a big fish in a little pond for a couple of years but got to open for some pretty cool groups, these guys, Sir Douglas Quintet, The Merry Go Round, Evergreen Blues Band. It sure was a lot of fun! I actually knew some of the guys in Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica lineup.
How the hell did I end up in the French youtube ? À propos de cette vidéo . Yeah , we Texans just don't know much French , they made the right disission not to attack Iraq. and the neo-cons called them stupid. Music machine was big at this time , with many great hits.
Lip synched but still cool. Very good band. The gloves were the gimmick. Sexy! They did lots of good songs. Thanks for the posting! Where are they now? "Masculine Intuition" by them is one of my fave songs.
Great song,but they never followed with another,I guess the one glove thing was a 'signature look'...??..maybe Michael Jackson was a MM fan,huh..??Har-har..
you got it -these guys are actually really good players ,and the drummer is better than some today.circa 1967 ? remember the blues magoos ? the beginning of harder edge stuff.

In their day, the Music Machine made a name for themselves with their black duds and leather gloves.
The lead singer later became a Christian rocker.
