Holy shit! This is just amazing footage! That´s 11 minutes and 51 seconds of pure garage essence. I hope I never get so jaded that I´m unable to appreciate this for the rare treat that it is. Thank you for posting this Mike. It really made my day/week/month.

I love how the lead singer for the out of tune kiddie band says "we sucked pretty bad on that one" as the song finishes....Killer shit!

 

[MopTopMike]

Finally - a treat to hear a good rendition of "Light My Fire"!

 

[Westex]

Wow... just wow. A million times wow.

 

[Michael W]

I vote for the kiddie band who were singing about a disco grandmother.

 

[The Swyne]

TOO COOL!

 

[Derf66]

Amazing!

 

[Hicksville Hogwash]

Thank you so much. What are the bands? Do you know after these years. The speccy brothers band maybe have it by a musical whisker but the main ingredient have the punk passion by the bucket. I wish the frat noise got more film and the kids are well, what the kids these days should be doing..... Oh and it is no wonder all the cool paisley shirts I find are teeny tiny.

Great find ! Pretty unusual to hear someone do "Steve's Song", they did it great though.

Who/what/where/when??? I think Ernie Douglas must have been in every other garage band back in the mid 60s...
