hammersmith gorillas

...head gorilla jesse hector has been rocking out since nineteen sixty so by the time he put this combo together in the early seventies he'd seen the trends and changes come and then go...fifties rock'n'roll mixed with freakbeat mixed with hendrix power trio attack all combining to rock the backrooms and beerhalls anywhere that would let them play...glam rock colliding with the small faces r&b to give out some stomping thud pop to keep all cats moving and grooving...this is a cool compilation of top gorillaness from the mid seventies and extra special notice should be paid to the last 7tracks as they represent the gorillas as they were at the mont de marson punk festival in france 1976, the first festival of its kind, truly historical and fabulous rocking gear...another point of interest for cats who dig the vibe in all colours will want to check out that cover picture, 'blue peter' tee-shirt design and carpet slippers, first class tickets got to have fun...

Ah, the Red Cow Hammersmith.

I'll never forget their gig there all those years ago.

Great band!
