the Del-Vetts "That's the Way It is" is also an all-time classic...
powertrust71 -- the song "Red Sky at Night" is by The Accent (single: Decca F12679). You can find it on the "Chocolate Soup" comp (and probably elsewhere).
Thanks 'wolf for posting!
|
Anyone know the name of this group who's lyrics go something about : 'you're rich so what!'
|
I believe you're referring to the 1965 single "So What!" by the San Diego group The Lyrics.
|
You are an excellent being, Rocknrollwerewolf. I thank you.
|
Please, excuse that last comment, but maybe no one has posted The Lyrics?
|
Yeah, I looked for The Lyrics' "So What!!" too on YouTube with no luck. However, the song is available on many 60's garage rock compilations, most notably the must-own Nuggets box set.
|
Thanks for your help, I totally appreciate it! As a matter of fact, I had gone to our main public library here in what used to be the capital of Flower Power, San Francisco and being the opened minded fun loving being that I have always been picked up on Nuggets 1965-1969 (or some time like that) psychedelic rock and found a whole lot of bands I've never heard of, The Lyrics being one of them. I'm really into verses.
|
awesome---haven't heard this is eons....been hoping someone has, and would post The Knaves' Leave Me Alone....more mid 60's Chicago garage punk ( I assume they're also from Chicago anyway)....I remember hearing em on the radio there about the same time as The Del-Vetts
|
gave it a universe of stars, my little darlins!
|
PUNK ROCK!!
|
This is one my favorite guitar sounds! so ballsy!
|
Surely a great tune!
But it doesn't strike me some much as a punk song, not even the proto-punk, as they know way too well how to play their instruments to be punk :P Well, actually it's that they have a professional approach to the music and that's certainly not something punk aspired to. I'd say they dabbled somewhat in heavy rock, the sound is truly menacing, not unlike Black Sabbath's. Though this song has no obscure ocultism in it and so wins on impact scale alot more for me :)
|
beatnicks and mods... notpunk.. in fact ever hear the exploited song about beating up mods... definately not punk lol when you grow up and learn some more about music and scenes youll know the difference..punk is over rated by kids.. none of the bands are even credible anymore.. only good bands left are the subhumans everyone else called it quits ..except exploited vice squad and the adicts lol most of the "old" bands still performing dont even have original members lol stoptrying to revise punk
|
I agree Ox,very menacing,but its a little too polished, well executed ,and catchy to be considered garage punk in my book,although most people would call it that.
|
Groovy sound...
|
I used to go see them every weekend in wilmette, I think it was. The Rolling Stone was the name of the place. You had to be a member. I got a fake member ID. were I had one of their business cards it had a starburst in red with Del Vettes in the center and the four members names - one in each corner. The names you mentioned are correct. The drummer could play and sing. He used to do the Manfred Man version of Dylan's "If You Gotta Go". Killer cover of Paul Butterfields "Born in Chicago"
|
Here here!
|
NOT!
|
You are right on.
|
ya had to be there.......
|
AWESOME!!!
|
Dig the fuzz!
|
Chi town for life.....! ! !
|
I dug it man!...I dug it!
|
Win.
|
Yes, Jimmy Lauer was the lead singer. I grew up with Jimmy way back when in Deerfield. I also went to see them play as much as I could - and the place you are talking about was called the Pink Panther. I still have my ID card. I went almost every weekend.
|
I am seriously diggin' this fuzz... Thank ya kindly for the upload!
|
Great Garage
|
That photo is from the cover of LIFE magazine - the Del Vetts were on the cover in 1966, for a feature article on the Chicago rock 'n' roll / discotheque scene. A great issue, if you can find it, I recommend it. There is also an ish from '67 with pics of the Velvet Underground. A great, overlooked classic song...
|
great one !!! love it !!! :)
|
Digging this in a big way!!! How the hell have I never heard this before??????????
|
The Del Vetts played regularly at The Rolling Stone, in Winnetka- they were the best around in 1965-66...then along came the BUCKINGHAMS....!
|
hard rock
|
Great sound man, lovin this choon!
|
Bass line Kills!!
|
The Del vets also were known as The pride and Joy . Jim Lauer is my cousin. His Mom Is my moms Sister. They used to rehearse in our living room in Northbrook.
|
clubford, what happend to jim? according to wiki he ended up in a mental institution... such great tune!
|
Awesome....the buzz through the fuzz is out there
|
Last time I hear these guys was.... uh,.. never.
|
WOW ! Saw them play @ Maine East,Park Ridge,IL they all drove Corvettes into the Field House parked, ran on stage and Jammed great high school flash back....great music...But then it was CHICAGO!
|
Oh God ... does anybody remember THE CELLAR, the rock club behind Bill Cook Buick in Arlington Heights, IL, ... where I saw CROW, the Del Vettes, Bubble Puppy, The Ides of March, Butterfield Blues Band, Joe Kelly Blues Band, Howlin' Wolf, Rhinocerous, Aorta ... and others ... with rock DJ Joel Sebastian, and the (rarely-used) full-screen color organ behind the stage?
God, I could name names ... so this is Bill Dunlavey calling .... for a different kind of yearbook.
|
It's kind of an amazing fuzz guitar play for a mop top band like this. Are you sure it's not some session guitarist like Beck or Page behind this?
|
What a sweet bass line, so cool.
|
love it love it i loveit nuggets disc 2
|
@rocknrollwerewolf like a fuzzy fighter jet in my head. Have you heard Action women by The Litter?
|
Super great!!!
|
@Khultan would you like me to post both sides of that very record?
|
@oldschoolhero66
Yes, please : )
|
Fuzz!!!
|
@rocknrollwerewolf
Awesome song! Did this group make albums or just singles? Please let me know as I would love own all of their stuff. Thanks for posting this.
|
They sound like they are doing Arthur Lee's Love but just not nearly as well. But still a pretty good song.
|
Thank you this is bad ass!

All the crap on tv about the 60s is either the swingers or hippies or some unrealistic chearful functional family life. I've heard OF the del-vetts but never experienced the pre "Hippy" movement because I was like barely born. this is the pre punk/glam period to me. The original Glam.. not that 80s hair crap. Most of that was just vanity and noise. If you don't agree with me that's fine.. it's just my opinion. But you can go f*** yourself :D
