The Cake - You Can Have Him

The Cake performing on the Smothers Brothers Variety Show back in 1967. Jeanette Jacobs, the stunning brunette in the green pantsuit, is clearly not a happy camper. Her involvement with Jimi Hendrix and penchant for dropping buckets of acid might explain her demeanor.



Upon further review, the real backstory can be found at Dangerous Minds along with a fascinating look at the "Real Life Valley of The Dolls". Check it out.

Thanks to The Redundant Variety Hour for starting me on the journey.

The Liverbirds

Sometimes you just feel like hearing cover songs of Bo Diddley songs performed by a sixties all-girl group, and today would be that kind of day. You can find music by the Liverbirds here.

Flirtations "Nothing But a Heartache"

I never knew this existed, and it's one of my favorite Northern Soul Classics. Filmed at Tintern Abbey, or so it says. Love those jumpsuits!

Dara Puspita

"Dara Puspita (Flower Girls) was Indonesia’s most successful girl band of the 1960s. While there were many popular female vocalists in Indonesia at that time, they nearly all relied on the services of a backing band. Dara Puspita was one of the few girl groups who actually played all their own music as well. ..."
4 tracks by Dara Puspita as presented over at GarageHangover.

The Astronettes

Note: Hold your horses. It's not full frontal.

"... their music is great lofi surf ala The Phantom Surfers etc. 13 tracks including; "Martian Pyramid Stomp" , "Drinkin And Astronavigatin" , "Movin Beyond" , "Surf Into Space " and more about bein a naked space travelling shimmy kitten! With this great concept ,why these nudie cuties did not become bigger than the Foo Fighters is beyond me. ..."
The Astronettes s/t album from 1990 is shared by RYP over at TWILIGHTZONE!.

Honey Ltd.

Honey Ltd. performing a medley of the 2 songs "At Long last Love" and "Respect" on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1969. Colorful performance to say the least. It's always a risk mixing Flower Power with Las Vegas. But these girls did it. And for that they should be proud.
