No solo acts. No singer-songwriters. Tonight, we’re celebrating The Groups, as in more than one person that goes by a collective name (duos that go by their actual names, like Hall & Oates or Ferrante & Teisher do not qualify). You don’t have to do this, but you get one point extra credit if your group name starts with “The” as in “The Sabres of Paradise” and an ADDITIONAL one point extra credit if it’s the kind of name that’s like “Somebody & the Somethings”, as in, “Little Charles & the Sidewinders” (shown in the featured photo above).
Have at it, Deadsplinter music aficionados, and as always, I appreciate personally that you come out for my admittedly weak DUANs, I owe you.
In case you’re wondering what Little Charles & the Sidewinders (photo at the top) actually sounded like, they were really good and very popular on the Northern Soul scene in the UK.
This is tough but I think I’m going to go with Drimble Wedge and the Vegetation:
By the way, the remake of “Bedazzled” was a crime against humanity.
more than one person what goes by a collective name…… sooo… pretty much any band then? okay
do i get double points for double the?
aww….i think i still misunderstood the instuctions……fixing
i do love this song
I’d only heard it before, never saw the video, so thanks. Agree 100% it’s great.
Well, if we can do a person’s name AND a group name (like Little Anthony and the Imperials), then by God my go to is always going to be SRV & DT.
My favorite song about our former president by Eldridge Gravy & The Court Supreme
and my twofer from my main man King Khan & the Shrines (I was at this show)…

I love horn sections in bands.
Forgot my twofer. From the same year as “Bedazzled.”
I award myself an extra point because the two guitarists to our left start out doing The Mashed Potato.
GAH! Stupid mouse.
By the way, I love the non-hippie, non-Summer of Love 1960s. The only (half)-decade more gimmick-crazed than the 1920s. The novelty dances. The New Romanticism (the 1920s had “Egyptian” and “Moorish” obsessions).
The lead was, in real life, named Paul Revere Dick, so his future was assured. Can you guess where this band was formed? Boise, Idaho, in the early 1960s, later moving to Portland, Oregon. Paul Revere Dick was the keyboardist; he’s the manic blond in this video.
Local band The Hellcats, not to be confused with the Slovenian metal band Hellcats
