Diary of a 60's Cover Band
(Blog)
We have now added an incredible new song to our repertoire from one
of the most influential US psychedelic bands of the 60's, Vanilla
Fudge. It's their 1967 upside down version of the hit by the Supremes
"You
Keep Me Hanging On". Check it out!
Last year we added the astonishing song "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.
Our most requested song is "Everlovin' Man" by The
Loved Ones. We added this song
in 2006 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.
Please note:
The Substitutes are based in
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 four super talents emerged:
