Nice. Apparently the Shake Shakes were from L.A.

2011 blog post:
quote:

The band was together for 2-3 years after this single. Pierre, Gary and Rick later went on to spend over fifteen years performing in The Mystery Band. Gary currently performs in several bands including The Groovy Rednecks and The Roadkill Kings. Pierre performs with a group called Wreck N Sow, and after Wreck N Sow's show this Saturday (4/9/11) at Mother's Tavern in Sunset Beach, CA, The Shake Shakes (minus Dave Musick) will reunite for the first time in several decades. Wreck N Sow at 3 pm...The Shake Shakes at 7:30ish. Google or Facebook search any of the bands mentioned for more info.

Check out this one Kafka. Not Power Pop (rockabilly) but it's just as good.

You wonder how many bands like this made great music that went largely unheard.

almost all of them

PP was unable to challenge heavy metal for the rock audience, and it remained a cult genre

as someone said, the best way to make sure a record doesn't sell is to label it power pop

Just heard this one in the car on the way home. It's got the melody and harmonies to be Power Pop even if the guitars are a little weak. Maybe a close, but no cigar entry to the thread.

Very "The Who" sounding chorus.

Van Duren is synonymous with the 70's Memphis Power Pop scene, playing with the likes of Chris Bell and Jody Stephens and at one point auditioning as the 2nd guitar player for Big Star just before the band's demise. Van Duren went on to leave Memphis to record one of the great albums of the late 70's, Are You Serious?, and is still releasing albums and playing live around Memphis.

What a great song this is that I've never heard until today.


The Shake Shakes aren't even on Spotify. Shame they sound great.
