The Pyramids !




The Pyramids ‘ bassist Steve Leonard decided to analyzed the Chantay's "Pipeline" and came up with clever variations of that opening reverb riff.
In early 1964, The Pyramids made the Top 20, helped by the promotion of John Hodge, the group's manager.
The Long Beach, California group achieved some notoriety after Hodge convinced them to shave their heads just as the British Invasion and became "America's answer to the Beatles." During their concerts they'd wear Beatle wigs which they would throw to the audience halfway through the show revealing their bald heads. Hired girls would then storm the stage. Other gimmicks were arriving at a job on elephants or in a helicopter. The gimmicks worked and they were soon appearing on Bandstand and Hullabaloo and in the beach movie Bikini Beach.

Surf up, and have a gooooood weekend !

The Pyramids were a step up from professional wrestling's George Ringo, the wrestling Beatle.

Well, he`s gone and done it. "Fire of Love" is no more! Personally I blame Frank for starting all this blog deleting behaviour.
Anyway, keep spreading the word!

THEE BLOODY END !!!

ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END. Yes my dear friends/readers, I've decided to end this very blog ! No particular reason to be frank, I've just decided to put this site to bed. So alas, another (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary, you choose) blog goes away. Well, you all know I'm a (fantastic/brilliant/extraordinary/bad, you choose) musician and that it takes a LOT of my time, that maybe explains the sporadic nature of posting here, so here we go... its' a FAREWELL ! Well, don't be sad my friends, remember what the great Criswell said: ' We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future.' ! So, I can't really express myself on HOW MUCH this lil' internet page was important to me, and how much it was fun to make/search/create ! You can't imagine how crazy it was to make those halloween/western/...
