Check out Page 21 as this site will now be showing classic film clips of your favourite bands performing their greatest hits!!! There'll also be a lot more to come, groovsters! There are some seriously
good 'new' psychedelic and garage bands you people really need
to check out. I love The
Lords of Altamont Some other bands worth checking out are
Colour Haze, Vibravoid,
Liquid Visions, Lamp
of the Universe (who don't appear to have a website), Baby
Woodrose, Liquid Sound Company (again, without a website),
and finally, The
Dead Flowers. So, this site is dedicated to that brief period in the sixties when London was swinging, when Carnaby Street wasn't the dump it is today, and when being a hippie didn't mean you necessarily had to reek of patchouli oil and sit around in a muddy field all day! A popular aspect of this site is the selection of photographs I have showing the grooviest in sixties women. I'll point out now that the entrance to their galleries is on page 19. On the rest of the pages you will find not just ephemera from that period (in the form of concert posters), but a history of the Psychedelic poster and the key players in the field (never let it be said this site is anything less that informative!) Unfortunately, most of the posters are American but I still think the capture the mood of the time. (I don't wish to offend any American readers but I think the influx of US bands from '68 onwards killed off the UK scene that flourished from Mid-'66 to the end of '67). If anyone has any UK posters from the time that they'd like me to put on the site, then email me. Keen eyed readers will notice that the background to the aforementioned pages features images from Carnaby Street in the sixties. I've also included a page that gives a brief history of Carnaby Street, together with the a few original images from the time. Even though it wasn't in Carnaby Street (and I haven't used it as background anywhere, either), I've also included a picture of The Beatles' Apple Boutique. As with the concert posters, if you have any pictures of the shops from London in the sixties and you'd like them shown, then please email me. I'm particularly interested in any images you might have of Biba. There's also such things as a history of US garage bands (and an 18 image gallery), as well as a history of the club scene in London, circa 1967, lurking within these pages. As if that wasn't enough, I now have almost 250 images of the absolute grooviest in sixties babes. Hey, perhaps I ought to rename the site 'Poppets and Posters' ... nah, just a thought in a moment of madness! Here's what's here: many free sixties galleries and artcicles on the Swinging London scene of 1966 and 1967, freakbeat, mod and psych in the Groovy Times' Sixties chat room, Sixties babes, the history of Carnaby Street, Garage Bands, Psychedelic nightlife, London nightclubs of 1967, New York in the sixties, Greenwich Village in the sixties, San Francisco in the sixties, Haight Ashbury. Photographs include: Brigitte Bardot galleries, Jane Birkin galleries, Patti Boyd galleries, Samantha Juste galleries, Soledad Miranda galleries, Peggy Moffitt galleries, Nico galleries, Anita Pallenberg galleries, Michelle Phillips galleries, Sharon Tate galleries, Penelope Tree galleries, Twiggy galleries; period photographs of Trecamp, I Was Lord Kitchener's Valet, Kleptomania, Lord John, Apple Boutique; Blues Magoos, Chocolate Watchband, Question Mark and the Mysterians, The Seeds, The Sonics, Shadows of Knight, Standells, Electric Prunes. Also bits and pieces on Pink Floyd, Roundhouse, Middle Earth, UFO Club, Keith West, Tomorrow, Xmas on Earth, Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Byrds, The Beatles... Phew! So here's a breakdown of what's on this site::
