The Staggers
There are at least three bands called the Staggers: A group of wild and young 60s garage surf trash maniacs from Graz/Austria. They released their first official album "Teenage Trash Insanity" in 2007 on the German "Wohnzimmer Records". A band from Columbus, OH that sounds like a cross between the Melvins and Man or Astroman. They are known for hit songs like "Dick Buttdick" and "Pig fucker." And a punk band from Dallas, Texas. Known as Riot Squad up until 1998.
The Seekers
The Seekers were a group of Australian folk-influenced popular musicians which was formed in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in 1962. They were the first Australian popular music group to achieve significant chart and sales success in the United Kingdom and the United States. Their 1960s hits included: "I'll Never Find Another You", "A World of Our Own" , "The Carnival Is Over" (which The Seekers have sung at various closing ceremonies in Australia, including Expo '88 and the Paralympics), "Someday One Day"...
The Other Half
This obscure San Francisco '60s band gained a degree of notoriety in the '80s when their punk-garage single "Mr. Pharmacist" was included on one of Rhino's Nuggets compilations and covered by the Fall. Actually, most of the Other Half's material was far less garage than psychedelic, featuring the sustain-laden guitar of Randy Holden, one of the best Jeff Beck-inspired axemen of the '60s. Boasting a just-out-of-the-garage approach to Haight-Ashbury psychedelia, the group cut a little-heard, fairly strong album, as well as a few rare singles, in 1967 and 1968.
the hype
There are 2 bands in the name "The Hype", 1) The Hype is a young Britpop band from Haarlem, The Netherlands. They have won 3 big pop prizes (INHOLLAND Popprijs 2007/2008, Rob Acda Award 2006/2007, Festivalprijs Velsen 2006). In 2007 they released their first EP 'The Hype Under Construction' which was a big success. 2) The Hype are a 5 piece band from Brighton. Influenced by current Indie/Electro/Alternative bands from Brighton, They have just released there demo, ' Dont Judge A Lover By A Good Looking Cover'.
The Move
The Move evolved from several mid 1960s Birmingham based groups, including Carl Wayne & The Vikings, The Nightriders & The Mayfair Set. The group's name seems to refer to the move various members of these bands made to form the group. Beside Roy Wood, the original members of the Move were drummer Bev Bevan, bassist Chris "Ace" Kefford, vocalist Carl Wayne & guitarist Trevor Burton. Their first single, 'Night of Fear' was released in 1966 and was the first in a line of memorable hits penned chiefly by Roy Wood.
Robby Krieger
Robert Alan "Robby" Krieger is best known as the guitarist for the 60's rock band The Doors. With his unique fingerstyle guitar-playing and excellent bottleneck-technique he is widely considered one of the greatest rock guitarists. Krieger taught himself to play guitar in a private school where his parents sent him after having some troubles in study. At first, he was interested in flamenco, but soon he expanded his playing to jazz, blues and folk.
