Hanging out at the dead centre of town?
Denim, sherpa, sandals... who are these scoundrels? They look like they'd probably rock.
New Hampshire prep schoolers!
Ah, just checked the youtube link. They sound pretty much just like I thought they would... NASTY.
Rasputin And The Monks was the name of a band that did "I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night", though I EXPECT that it isn't the same band? That record Rasputin And The Monks is pretty rare, all of these prep school bands.
Brilliant.

Man, those vocals almost made me lose my cookies. That version definitely makes me feel like I'm real messed up.
I know what you mean man! The backwards vocal part scared the shit outta me the first time. It's a evil song, I mean, PURE evilness.
That's so cool.
That song's crossed my path somewhere, sometime. I'm sure I don't have the 7". This is going to drive me crazy! I know it's an obscure ditty, and that's why it's driving me crazy wondering how I've heard it.
Also the first band to import The Pirates' Shakin' All Over before The Guess Who recorded it.
That early live Twiliters version is the only version I've heard. I know I've also talked exuberantly about that song with someone in person - about how frenetic it is, how raucous, and the guitar riff is just bonkers! GOD!!
In any event, thanks for allowing me to rediscover such a great song. Just a shining example of capturing that one perfect moment in time. And to think, I'd forgotten about it. Maybe to never ever think of it ever again!! Seriously, THANKS!! Did I mention I like that song?
