THE STANDELLS
Records are not for sale - For your viewing pleasure only
The Standells are a garage rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in the 1960s, who have been referred to as the "Godfathers of Punk Rock". The band name was derived from stand ing around booking agents' offices trying to get work. In 1962, bassist Gary Lane and drummer Gary Leeds, later known as Gary Walker of The Walker Brothers, joined the band. Leeds left the group in 1964, and was replaced by vocalist and drummer Dick Dodd. The group appeared in several low budget films of the 1960s, including Get Yourself a College Girl and cult classic Riot on Sunset Strip. However, early 1964 photos counter that notion, showing the Standells with long hair, making them one of the first American rock groups to adopt that style. In order to work in conservative nightclubs like PJs nightclub, the group members were forced to cut their shaggy locks. Like the Beatles, early rock groups did mostly cover songs in nightclubs. In late 1965 the group teaming up with producer Ed Cobb. In 1966 this led to their first hit single "Dirty Water," which reached #11 on the Billboard charts and #1 on the Record World charts. "Dirty Water" an archetypal garage rock hit with its Stones-ish riff, lecherous vocal, and combination of raunchy guitar and organ. While they never again reached the Top 40, they cut a number of strong, similar tunes in the 1966-1967 era that have belatedly been recognized as '60s punk classics. In 2006 the band sued Anheuser Busch for over $1 million after the company used "Dirty Water" in sports-related beer commercials without permission. "Dirty Water" was decreed the "official victory anthem" of the Red Sox, and is played after every home victory won by the Boston Red Sox. In 2010 they toured in Europe, performing in several countries. In 2011, Tamblyn raised $8,800 on Kickstarter towards the cost of recording a new album for his version of the band.
