THE LUV'D ONES- "UP DOWN SUE" (1966)

Описание: The Luv'd Ones are a crucial garage band from the 60's. Led by guitarist Char Vinnedge, they arced from Beat music into garage and finally fuzzed-out psychedelia. Char's relentless drive propelled the group, which she sang, wrote, drove, and made handbills for. They first debuted as the (All Girl) Tremolons, belting out Beat-style tunes and a killer version of "Whole Lotta Shakin'". Steadily Char's style changed; her voice became darker and her guitar tone more and more distorted. She was mesmerized by Jimi Hendrix and pushed the envelope with fuzz blasts. The band was only able to record a few singles, but Sundazed Records has compiled them with a wealth of worthy demos in the "Truth Gotta Stand " CD (1999). After Jimi's death, Billy Cox picked Char as his first guitarist after being in Jimi's Band of Gypsys. Together they made the "Nitro Function" album, where Char goes off. Anyone into garage/psyche, Jimi, female rockers, or quality getting its due should track these down. Viva Char!
