The Fogcutters - "Cry, Cry, Cry!" (1965 Garage Punk)

The Fogcutters were from Denver. Their sound was similar to that of The Beau Brummels They never made the national charts, but this record DID get heard by a national audience -- it was used in an episode of THE FUGITIVE TV series. IIRC, it was heard over a transistor radio as some teenage punks harass Dr. Richard Kimble. I can't say for sure why this record was used, presumably because it was released on the Liberty label, which was owned by United Artists -- producers of THE FUGITIVE.

The website http://www.moonrakers.us/bobgroke.htm gives some more info on The Fogcutters: "The Fogcutters recorded for Liberty Records and had one minor hit. They were a bubblegum band in Denver and left for Chicago where they played for six months as the opening act for Howlin' Wolf in a club there. Their sound evolved into the Chicago Blues sound and when they came back to Denver, they had changed for the better. A great sound. They left Liberty Records and started recording for Verve Records but I lost track of them after that."

@shorttimer77 Which one was Eric?

[shorttimer77]

@Cantabrigidian

Eric was the lead singer and lead guitar player. He played with my band for awhile after we dismissed our lead man. He was a fantastic inspiration to us all. It was at Als Club Holiday on broadway street in Denver 1965.
