Diary of a 60's Cover Band
(Blog)
The latest astonishing song we've added is "Something
in the Air", recorded in 1969 by the one hit wonder
band Thunderclap Newman. They were put together by Pete Townsend
around a drug addled drummer (Speedy Keene) and an eccentric jazz
pianist (Thunderclap Newman). The song has a killer middle
instrumental section.
We've also recently added "Everlovin' Man" by The
Loved Ones to our repertoire in honour of the late great
Gerry Humphries. Dennis does the most astonishing version you've heard
bar the original. See him in action here.
Remember the 60's?
The 60's were an exciting, revolutionary, turbulent
time of great social and technological change: assassination,
unforgettable fashion, new musical styles, Camelot, civil rights,
women's liberation, a controversial and divisive war in Vietnam, the
first manned landing on the moon, peace marches, World's Fairs, flower
power, great TV and film and sexual freedom.

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The 1960's were characterised by the dominance of the group
and original songwriting. There were probably 50 artists
during the era that contributed an original song or sound to
form the foundation of the so-called 'rock music' that has dominated
popular music ever since. From that talented field, however,
four super talents emerged:
