Song of the Day: January 28, 2005


1968, available on Biff! Bang! Powder CD,

Distortions Records, 1996

It seems strange that while so many 60s teens in American garages embraced the R'n'B-derived sounds of the Stones, Pretty Things, Kinks, etc. there were seemingly very few windmilling Rickenbackers in an attempt to emulate the Who or any of their mod/psych peers. Powder were among these few, and their recordings contained on the Biff! Bang! Powder CD, while never released during the band's existence, show them remarkably adept at aping the 'oo with ocasional bits of The Pink Floyd thrown in.

Wow. Like the Who, but without all the distracting gymnastics from the rhythm section!

Excellent post, Jon. I'm saving some of these for later enjoyment.
