This is really genuine raw an unpolished garage rock from the 60s. My hobby is to rediscover all those great bands from that period that didn´t "broke through". It´s a fantastic musical treasure. Listen (Youtube) for example to:
THE ZETTLERS and their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah".
(Really f......g good with a bloody driving beat).
THE GOLLIWOGS and the song "Tell me". Check up the singer...Yes´it´s him!!
Yes. Most likely. Many of those chicks (or birds, as you blokes call them), were former cheerleaders who still wanted to do synchronized dance moves, similar to when they were in high school, cheer leading. T.V. shows, such as Hulaballo, and Shindig, utilized this in their shows. There were thousands of birds to choose from.
@glaetze Thanks, I thought so. We don't have cheerleaders as such in Blighty. Only get to see them on the movies and on the parades we've seen when I've worked in your wonderful country
And I thought only the Leaves and Love were able to make a punk sound in So. Cal., back during the 60s. I guess there were a lot of other good ones who just couldn't make the big time. It's probably because of mismanagement, or something.
I grew up a few miles up the road from Long Beach, in the Azusa/Glendora area. They used to have the "Battle of the Bands" competition. Remember them? (Good ol' days.)

@glaetze oh man there's so many 60s garage bands it can get overwhelming really quick. I recommend checking out the soybomb dot com garage compilation database which has information about garage compilations as well as a section where you can view bands by state. I don't remember the battle of the bands because I'm way too young to remember them but hell yeah I could imagine those were way better times than now. CA is one of the strongest garage states along with Texas.
@glaetze LOL, I live on Arrow Hwy and Bonnie Cove in Glendora. I always wondered how it was in the 60's. I was raised originally in Boyle Jeights near Downtown L.A. at that time.
What a coincidence. I live near Sandburg Middle School in Glendora, on N. Marcile Ave.
Small world. During the 60s I lived in Azusa. During the 60s you could hear garage bands all over the place. There were 2, just right across the street from our house, alone. The smog was far worse. But the traffic was not bad at all, unless you were on the 10 FWY, near L.A. In and Out Burger was limited to about 4 drive through stands only. I miss those days, but not the smog.
@glaetze Yes thats one thing that has improved. When I was a kid the smog was so thick you could cut it wit a knife. You could hardly see downtown L.A. I grew up on Soto Street not far from the 10 Fwy.
One of my all-time favorites-fantastic blend of a ballad and a put down at the same time-pure genius-this should be a golden oldie, rather than some of the repetitive pap smear garbage they currently play on so called oldies stations!
@potaluca You are correct to an extent! Remember the key to 60's garage punk and all the fab gear 60's garage bands all around the world was that even though the guy is hurting because he lost his love, He still loves her after all the hurt!! Perfect job blackflag for the post
Something about this song hits me. Unusually emotional lyrics for a "boy" song, male-teen angst a little deeper than the typical she-won't-let-me-f--k-her stuff?
This is what i call a fine example of snotty raspy vocals. Chuck Butler had to smoke a lot of cigarettes to get a voice like that. Great song and post

Pebbles was sped up. Greg Shaw did that to a few songs to make them sound more 'punk' in the '70s.
