LOCAL BANDS THAT MIGHT BE YOU HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE
Hi again pixies!!
In today's tumblr post, I'm gonna share several local bands in 60s that might be you haven't heard about it. Most of these bands maybe playing Garage Rock as their bands music genre or they were a cover band.
According to Wikipedia, Garage Rock is a raw and energetic style of rock and roll that flourished in the mid-1960s, most notably in the United States and Canada, and has experienced a series of subsequent revivals.
Its name derives from the perception that groups were often made up of young amateurs who rehearsed in the family garage, although many were professional.
The style is characterized by basic chord structures played on electric guitars and other instruments, sometimes distorted through a fuzzbox, as well as often unsophisticated and occasionally aggressive lyrics and delivery.
Now, you do have a clue about this music genre, right? Now I'll show you these 60s local bands.
1. The Tradewinds

The Tradewinds was primarily a junior high group that began playing through Northern Ohio at more teen parties and high schools such as Wooster, Northwestern and Triway.

NOTE:
I might be wrong about what kind of music these bands play with. So, you can correct me about this and I'll re-edit it. 60s is the year when Garage Rock is really popular, you can check it on youtube. There is a playlist of 60s garage songs, they're cool!
I made this post to let you know that maybe in your neighbourhood there is a local band who only locals know.
