Big Beat's ongoing series documenting the groovy sounds of 1960s California, Nuggets From The Golden State, makes a welcome return with
You Got Yours: East Bay 60s Garage 1965-67. Returning to the regional themes espoused in earlier volumes, this power-packed collection focuses on one of the grungiest and most prolific garage rock scenes in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Directly across the bay from San Francisco raged a teen scene so vibrant that the 'adult' rock shenanigans of the early hippie clique had little impact, at least for a couple of years. The tough, blue collar environs of the East Bay demanded entertainment, not enlightenment, and sought it in the garage soul of the Spyders and US Male, the bright, British sounds of the Baytovens, Shillings and Peter Wheat & The Breadmen, or the droll Stonesy punk of the Harbinger Complex, Just VI and Soul Vendors. Kids raved at area hotspots like the Penthouse Club in Hayward and the Teens N' Twenties dances at San Leandro's Rollarena.
You Got Yours celebrates this intriguing facet of SF music history with rare singles, unreleased studio cuts and a booklet jam-packed with photos and memorabilia. It also forms the audio soundtrack to a recent book documenting East Bay 60s garage bands. Many of these tracks are acknowledged 60s punk classics, others are gems waiting to be discovered. For fans of vintage punk and garage as well as those fascinated with all things San Francisco.
