THE STANDELLS
"Why Pick On Me" "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White"
Original 1966 MONO Tower Records T-5044 Vinyl LP
The Standells are a garage rock band from Los Angeles, California, US, formed in the 1960s, who have been referred to as the "punk band of the 1960’s", and said to have inspired such groups as the Sex Pistols and Ramones.] They are best known for their 1966 hit "Dirty Water", now the anthem of several Boston sports teams.The original Standells band was formed in 1962 by bass guitarist Jody Rich, with lead vocalist and keyboard player Larry Tamblyn (born Lawrence A. Tamblyn, February 5, 1943, in Los Angeles), guitarist Tony Valentino (born May 24, 1941, aka Emilio Bellissimo), and drummer Benny King (aka Hernandez). Tamblyn had previously been a solo performer, recording several 45 singles in the late 1950s and early 1960s including "Dearest", "Patty Ann", "This Is The Night", "My Bride To Be" and "Destiny" for Faro and Linda Records. He is the brother of actor Russ Tamblyn and the uncle of Amber Tamblyn, star of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
The Standells band name was created by Larry Tamblyn, derived from standing around booking agents' offices trying to get work. In early 1962, drummer Benny King (aka Hernandez) joined the group, and as "the Standels", their first major performance was in Honolulu at the Oasis Club. After several months, Rich and King departed. Tamblyn then assumed leadership of the group. He and Valentino re-formed the Standels, adding bass guitarist Gary Lane and drummer Gary Leeds, later known as Gary Walker of The Walker Brothers. Later that year, the band lengthened its name to "Larry Tamblyn & the Standels". In 1963 an extra "L" was added, and as "Larry Tamblyn and the Standells" the group made its first recording "You'll Be Mine Someday/Girl In My Heart" for Linda Records (released in 1964). In the latter part of the year, the band permanently shortened its name to "the Standells". After the Standells signed with Liberty in 1964, Leeds left the group, and was replaced by lead vocalist and drummer Dick Dodd. Dodd was a former Mouseketeer who had been the original drummer for The Bel-Airs, known for the hit surf rock song "Mr. Moto".
