Thanks to Youtube. I have discovered all these great garage bands from the USA and from the 60's. What a musical treasure. This is the first time I to The Bad Seeds but absolutely not the last. I´m from the cold north part of Europe. My favorites from that part of the world was THE ZETTLERS. Check up their versions of "Skinnie Minnie" and "Beautiful Delilah". The recordings were made 1965. Unbelievable!!!!!!
wow...Rod is my dad..this is so awesome..i think he was like 16 or 17. thanks so much for the post!!! Check out my channel for current videos of Bubble Puppy...they just did a reunion show :)
Having grown up in Corpus Christi I remember the Bad Seeds and Teen Time very well. Some of the go go dancers were students at Carroll High School in the sixties. There were other great bands in Corpus Christi at the time: Zachary Thaks, Liberty Bell, Dell Starrs, the Kings, Pozo Seco Singers.
First saw this clip on the big screen at the Hollywood Theater in Portland Oregon,where it was featured in one of the Psych & Garage Bands Film Festivals put on by the great Jackpot Records store. It absolutely tore the audience to pieces. Superb songwriting (the bridge portion is too much and they do it twice!), a perfect example of how great this era and this band was. sonics65
Rumor I heard, some years back when I originally got a copy of this and "KIng Bee," was that it was never on "Teen Time" - they paid off the guy who hosted the show to record the films for promo of the Bad Seeds. Funny aside to that is the Go-Go dancer was supposedly the receptionist. Don't know if any of that is true, but both vids are great and the Bad Seeds stand out, even in the talent filled genre of Texas Garage Psych...
I'll always remember this video making the rounds back in the mid/late 80's garage scene...great track. I loved how the 60's garage bands behind the best tracks didn't have long hair or stripey trousers and beads...
Dave Shutt from Austin Texas is responsible for finding this gem back in 1983. he acquired this from the band's manager. I got an early copy from him after trading some sci-fi films he was seeking. Dave also uncovered the Zakary Thaks footage on 16mm film from Aug '68. See the entire story on the LP "Texas Reverberations" which Dave put out along with his partner as well as the ultra rare limited edition of 200 each "Flashbacks" vols. 1-6.
Man, how lucky is it that someone saved this little bit of Texas garagepunk history for our pleasure and amazement...
Rod Prince is pretty durn incredible, not only is his solo on the record really great, check out how perfectly he is faking it during this lip-synched bit.
You can hear that these guys were definitely born out of the same musical melting pot that created the 13th Floor Elevators, but I think Tommy Hall & the Elevators got the better drugs, if Bubble Puppy is any way to compare
LOVE this! These guys had the driving minor-key British beat group /American garage band mix down cold! The result was that heartachy/ put down type of song BEST typified by AMERICAN groups like Beau Brummels and the Seeds. This group is a shining example of what makes the sixties the ULTIMATE ERA of POP MUSIC creativity!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice
