These Cats Can Both Sing & Play...Well. I Would Of Loved To Sit In On Their Jams. Truly All-Around Talented...I Do Hear The Wee Bit Of "Stones" Drumming Bit...Very Little...I Had A Flash Of "The Litter's Action Woman"....At Any Rate...These Kids Had The Chops For Me. Thanks.
Truly a great find! Thanks for posting it! All bands start off cutting their teeth on covers. Working nights in the local bars and nightclubs. Maybe they drift about for a time, come across a new song lyric & trying to sound like the covers they know so well while attempting to find themselves. Most have a day job. It's a tough row to hoe... Getting signed by White Whale, must have felt as if they had finally arrived, eh? Todd Anderson (vocals), Michael Friedman (bass guitar), Chip Wright (lead guitar), Mike Simpson (rhythm guitar), Bob Shumaker (drums), Mark Batterman (vocals, keyboards) From Berkeley, CA. Later became The Drongos.

Catchy uptempo garage! The drumming here and there is reminiscent of "Get Off Of My Cloud".
Great song by the way it Rocks.
White whale records turtles where on that label 🏷️
Good tune - would love to know which city these guys were from
They were a Bay Area band from Berkeley (group of High School students).
