This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For every successful local group that ever packed the Fillmore, Avalon, or Winterland Ballrooms, there were dozens of overlooked, and much better, groups that also hailed from the City by the Bay.” Explore the primitive, rocking rhythm and blues of the fifties, the garage and psych of the sixties, and the seventies punk and new wave scenes with this definitive history of an unsung era. Spanning rock & roll’s first three decades, these were the bands left out of the history books. This second installment in the Scene History Series is essential reading for music history nuts and record collectors, and mandatory for all Bay Area devotees.
