This is my favorite Avengers song- Penelope Houston is my fucking hero. Amazing singer and songwriter. (Incidentally, their drummer played with Joan Jett for like five seconds when she was getting started on her solo career...)
Hey I was there. Now don't be puttin' down tv's Real Don Steele, Ray Conniff Singers, Solid Gold, Lawrence Welk, and Dick Sinclair's Polka Parade, or you and I will tangle
It looks like Penelope Houston singing an Avengers song while being backed by the Dils, as that is Tony Kinman on bass (no one else played a Thunderbird bass hanging that low) and his brother Chip on guitar. I'm not positive who the drummer is in this clip but it doesn't look like the Avengers' drummer, Danny Furious.
Really, I've seen it from every imaginable angle, and her half-Greek nose is probably her most beautiful facial feature. She's a great artist and a great soul. Your remark seems uninformed.
I'm friends with hthe drummer's brothers - no bullshit. I grew up next door to him. I see him perhaps every 5 years or so when he visits stateside. I also saw him with Joan Jett in LA.
Fantastic! Really good footage of early Avengers, thanks for posting. I just saw them yesterday at the Bowery Ballroom, they were great, only got some crappy cellphone footage.
This is the Dils! With Penelope singing.
