This is amazing. I went top school at West Torrance high. I can't count the number of times I saw the Guard perform at the Hullabaloo club. THose are some of the sweetest days of my life. The girl I was dating at the time (CH) was one of the most wonderful people I ever met. Lost contact with her in the '70s. Nice memory. Kudos to the poster. -GP

I went to School (Hawthorne High) with Don, John and David Beaiudoin, as well as Emitt, The Palace Guard was hot,, Those were marvelous daze. Sorry to hear that David has passed on, he brought the house down at the hullabaloo, when he sang "True Love Ways" , the Buddy Holly song.

That would have been a great time to be in sunny California.

Thanks so much for this...brings back all the memories at the Hullabaloo, The Guard, The Wild Ones and of course "THE" manager swivel hips Gary Bucasta...the line if you're still interested is "If you would come back and make my salty tears seem sweet" So really sorry to hear about David, my heartfelt sympathies

RIP in Rock n roll heaven.

Apparently I'm a couple years late on this. I was the girl (CH) that packmaneats wrote about. And, for the record, he was the best 1st boyfriend a girl could hope for. Those days were great memories for me, as well. Later in life, became acquainted with Terry Rae for a brief time, but have lost touch over the years. In case pacmaneats sees this: thank you for remembering me and conveying such sweet thoughts. I hope your life has been happy and rich in love and kindness.

Neil Olson from Jumbo. I'm still looking for David's book, but can't afford $300

I had a lot of good time with the Boys in late '65 at the Hawthorne house.

Loved their family and especially Mom Beaudouin's cooking. I wish I could share some stories when they were 'off stage' also. later Drumbo

A killer slice of Southern California Garage Pop, circa 1966. Doesn't get any better than this!

Dude I new Kenny very well, may he rest in pease. You never noticed the guys in the solid red british uniforms that opened for just about every major group that played the Hullabaloo?

I remember Burnside. One of the guitar players was named Kenny Roland. I was a strip rat, but I knew him from Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach. We used to hang out at the hamburger place across from Gazzaries when they played there. I think he was in the same class as Mike Purpose and Drew Harrison, 2 legendary surfers from South Bay. I was a couple years back. Sorry PG fans, but The Enemys ruled the strip. The only house band I remember from the Hullabaloo was The Seeds.

Terry Rae where are you? You have family, Sean Rae in San Francisco!

The Hullabaloo Club. What a blast we had!

It was big in Southern California but it wouldn't have probably in San Francisco. San Francisco's self indulgent and elitist attitude is probably what knocked out Beau Brummels. They were a San Franciscan band.
