Week 164: Los Shakers

I’m really digging estos fake Beatles.

Rompan Todo. This is such a rocker. I don’t know when the video was made, but I like it.

They have an interesting concept – Uruguay band, writes own music, but with a strict Beatles vocabulary, titles records and songs in Spanish but sings in English.

Siempre Asi. The opening of this clip cracks me up every time when the guy turns around from the piano. The song is just perfect.

Here’s the title track (and two other songs) from their classic ‘Conferencia Secreta del Toto’s Bar’. This album on vinyl is available on ebay starting at $249.00 Grab it if you see it at your local PTA store.

And then there’s this groovy psychedelia, though once the interview at gunpoint starts things go downhill fast.
