The greatest of the 70's and 80's garage rock bands, The Chesterfield Kings! I re-did my video of this replacing the audio with a better version of it.
I had favorably reviewed them & boosted them, so got NIGHT OF A THOUSAND EYES sent to me. Saw them at Peppermint & they were just wonderful. I was cremed. I advised a pal to see them in another city, & he said they were dreadful! But he knew, that can happen -- it's so hard on the musicians. Support & respect, a helping hand, this is what they need. It's really a hard life. Greetings from France.
I spent my formative years in a rural area outside of Y-town, OH. Cleveland offered the only true venue for what I liked to hear back then. Of course, Detroit and the surrounding area really had it going on back then (with bands like The Woolies and The Stooges). During the 1970s, I told many others that '60s-era garage rock would be big medicine in the 1980s and beyond. Mostly, people scoffed. Even today, people in my immediate area still don't dig garage/psychedelia. I'm hoping to move soon.
@MissKristi99 I tried to get The CKs and The Tell-Tale Hearts to play in my town. A local promoter told me that people in my locale wouldn't like this kind of music. Hell, most of the denizens around my region of the Midwest didn't like this kind of sound back in the 1960s. I need to get outta NE Ohio -- like real soon!
