Sorry to hear about the passing of Larry Tamblyn of The Standells, here sitting across from me and next to the band's guitar player Tony Valentino during my first "Riot on Sunset Strip Film Festival" series for The American Cinematheque at The Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. Larry helped me with photos of the group for my book "Riot on Sunset Strip: Rock 'n' Roll's Last Stand in Hollywood"; along with Dick Dodd, John Fleckenstein (both also passed) and Tony Valentino, those guys were always ready to help out and support my book, named after their title song to the American International Pictures exploitation film "Riot on Sunset Strip." Larry and then Paul Revere of the Raiders were the most prominent American '60s Garage bands to adopt the Voxx organ sound that The Animals had popularized back in England. This spread to its-impossible-to-count-how-many cool American Garage bands that formed in the wake of The Beatles. You can see The Standells playing it early on The Munsters but it is a sound that about 10 years after the '60s began to be inserted into synthesizers as "Cheeze-Whiz Organ." I have to tell you, that is one of my (no pun intended) "Bedrock" musical sounds that I love most, the combination of O.G. Cheeze-Whiz Organ and early Fuzztone sounds, as heard on The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction." Add to that a snarling punk singer who can handle emotion when it counts like Dick Dodd, and you pretty much have the perfect, most STOCK garage band of all, The Standells. The Rolling Stones recognized this, and brought them out on their 1966 U.S. tour, the last one with Brian Jones. "Dirty Water," "Sometimes Good Guys Don't Wear White," "Why Pick on Me," "Try It" and their movie theme are all perfect examples of The Standells oeuvre, and they have a ton more lesser-known things just as good, for example, "Barracuda." Even when they were a house band at P.J.'s on Santa Monica Blvd early on, they were covering cool stuff like Jimmy Reed's "Big Boss Man" in a great arrangement, probably around the same time The Pretty Things were coming up with theirs. Anyways, gonna miss Larry, but thanks to records, we won't be missing his great contributions to some of the highest-ranking Rock 'n' Roll ever recorded.

Kurz-Bio:
Der Cutter, Schauspieler, Sänger, sowie Gründer und Leader der Standells, einer Garagenrock-Formation, Larry Tamblyn wurde am 5. Februar 1943 in Los Angeles, Kalifornien, als Lawrence Arnold Tamblyn geboren und verstarb am 21. März 2025 an MDS. Er war der Bruder des Schauspielers Russ Tamblyn (links klicken), der in unseren Breiten ab 1991 durch die TV-Serie “Twin Peaks“ bekannt wurde. Wir Rocknroller lernten Bruder Russ aber bereits im Jahre 1958 kennen, wussten aber nichts davon, denn Jerry Lee Lewis auf dem Lastwagen war uns um Häuser wichtiger, als der Hauptdarsteller in dem Film „Mit siebzehn am Abgrund“ (Originaltitel: “High School Confidential“).
Larry Tamblyn gründete im Jahre 1963 mit Tony Valentino, Gitarre, Dave Burke, ebenfalls Gitarre, Gary Lane, Bassgitarre, und Gerry Leeds, Schlagzeug, die „Garagen-Band“ The Standells, die bis 1968 existierte. Larry selbst übernahm als Leader dieser Band das Keyboard und den Gesang.
