If you can get past their shtick these guys are a pretty good sub-Rascals garage R&B band from Joizey: This next segment gets kinda wild; includes an interview: The Cavemen complete TV appearance part 2 Vallerie & Kay Sera Sera 1966 » They're fun on the Mike Douglas Show, but this was their moment of glory: The Cavemen - Small World »
Is that true? I don't have that first LP...Is it all Sloan/Barri + studio guys, or did the former Bedouins play or sing on any of the tracks?
The Third World. This is from the movie 'Girl in Gold Boots' (1968), the soundtrack was by a singer/songwriter, Chris Howard, and, allegedly, the bass player is Donald 'Duck' Dunn. True? The band is clearly not performing the song that's playing, as you can see the keyboard player singing when there are no vocals.
There is actually some (poor quality) footage in existence of the later Johns Children line up with Marc Bolan as well. Some of it can be seen around 13 minutes into this Bolan documentary, watched by Johns Children members Andy Ellison and Chris Towson:
Along those same lines: The track we hear is actually by The Electric Flag. That same year Trip star Peter Fonda would release a single written by Gram Parsons: Peter Fonda-November Nights »
Some nice Mormon girls from Utah rock out with an Easybeats cover on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour: Pay careful attention at 0:28: They probably don't belong here, since they apparently did quite a lot of TV in the '60s: this, Ed Sullivan, a couple of Bob Hope specials, as well as gigs as semi-regulars with Danny Kaye and Andy Williams (who was also the starting-off point for some other Mormons from Utah, the Osmond Brothers). But I won't tell anyone if you don't. This Kim Fowley-Michael Lloyd production deserves a little attention.
Ugly Things magazine did a long article on them, last year, I think it was. Not particularly riveting reading, the Kim Fowley/Michael Lloyd connection was definitely the most interesting part.
Early Billy Joel circa 1968 with a band called The Hassles. Apparently they did have a label deal that never really went anywhere. My understanding is Mr. Joel ended up working with one of these band members in the fated Attila and also later in his career, but I am not sure who. Nevertheless, I do think this is a cool/neat song. Perhaps because it isn't what one would expect to hear from the artist that evolved to who we now know as Billy Joel
Terry & The Telstars, from Maine.
