Really really good! I love this kind of raw, straight and honest garage rock from the 60s. My hobby is to rediscover all those great bands that didn´t "broke through" during this period. Listen for example to a band from Scandinavia called THE ZETTLERS and their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah". Really really good with a bloody bass line and a bloody driving beat.
@TheSunbau im from skandinavia and have you heard about the spotnics and Eddie meduza. Eddie sings often swedis but he had sings nearly 400 songs on english
alright,great garage music.:) for those who likes this music in stead of today's pop music.got 2 copies of this(soma 45 and terrific! oldies re-issue).A+++++(5 stars) tune.
@tjommy17 Oh gosh, I was at B Sharp lots. Did they ever rebuild? I don't remember. I remember the fire and the clean up. Are you saying they burned twice? Yikes! I live in Mpls. Never heard that.
Great it takes me back to B Sharp music on Central Ave in N.E. Mpls taking Guitar lessons and lookin at all the pictures of the Bands Gestures, DelCounts, Underbeats,Accents, Stillroven, and the list goes on forever. I still have many 45's and still listen all the time
@67rickenbacker Didn't that B Sharp Music on Central burn down? Can't remember. I was there ooodles of times. Glad you like the Gestures...............I love em.
Run, Run, Run - The Gestures [Minneapolis, Minnesota] - No.44 on 10/1964 - "WAS an excellent Beatles-esque effort indeed." - Nuggets: Original Artyfacts From The First Psychedelic Era (Disc 3)-1998. NOTE: One of the first American garage bands to write and perform British Invasion-derived material, the Gestures only recorded two singles in the mid-'60s.
My first 60s Garage record here(1978 approx). It was the flip of Liar Liar by the Castaways on TERRIFIC! records. Of course a reissue. This was my motivation for buying the Lanny Kaye Nuggets album because I figured there's got to be more great sounding stuff like this. Then I bought the Pebbles, Boulders, etc etc etc. The early demo of this is great too. I am a 1960s Garage Monster!
@MaceMn Bel Rae Ballroom in Mounds View was the venue to be at. tuesday night dances, wow, girls everywhere, will never forget the 60's and early 70's 71/72. After that it went down hill. I remember all the twin cities bands played their at least once during the summer.
@pkappel006 Thanks for sharing. Was a different & (better) world then... no doubt. Mellower "heads" prevailed in those days. Now it's rap, aids, crack & glocks... changes for the worse. Bumma, bumma.
@MaceMn your right partner, no cell phones, no computers, no I-Pads, no gadgets, just smoke, 35 cents a gallon for gas and no stop lights, just freeway, no traffic and no cable, just 4/5 tv stations at the most........life was simple and unreal I am 58 and still alive...............I listen to all the Mkinnesota bands back in 68/69 and 1970/71/725/73, after that it went down hill fast.
The Gestures were a quartet - barely out of high school - when they hit it big with "Run Run Run" in the fall of 1964. Led by Dale Menten, the band was from Mankato MN.
B-Sharp music still exists on 24th and Central in Minneapolis, at least according to Google.

Does anyone have a copy of the Bad Omens recording of "He was a Friend of mine" i loved that tune! I used to have a 45 but can't seem to locate it.

B Sharp did burn down under suspicion but did reopen across the street from it's former location. I do believe that it is now closed.

@mikekadas I always thought this was the best song from that collection. I especially love the drumming, with that little fill.

There's a British Invasion influence audible here, which is understandable since it was recorded in '64.
