The Elegants !




Remember The Incredible Kings last month ?
Well, here’s The Elegants !
Both bands are basically the same line up,including
Jerry Miller on guitar with Rick Burton on bass (now with DaiBando)and Dean Tsrapralis on drums (until recently a member of Dai Bando also).
The Elegants/Incredible Kings jumbo combo wailed through a fiery reworking of 'Ooh Poo Pah Doo' (with frantic vocal by Willie Washington) plus Hank Ballard's 'Let's Go Let's Go Let's Go'.
The pairing was issued in a miniscule pressing under the Elegants name on the bands' own International Artists label.The platter sold out immediately at Elegants gigs,though an additional several hundred copies miraculously appeared in their mitts via a pressing plant error.

and I always thought it must be 'Oop Oop A Do!'.

In Australia in the 1960's a very popular (out of Sydney) mainstream group Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs had chart success with this song.
I ignored this completely because I already knew it from the songlist of a Melbourne ( always more musically hip than Sydney) blues band I followed.

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/...
