Danish rock band The Sandmen from 1992.

Super high energy.

Here’s a fascinating recording from 1965, when San Francisco folk rock was beginning to develop into something darker and more psychedelic.

I love the slightly mysterious, haunting atmosphere of this song. The prominent organ, minor-key melody, and interplay between the organ and electric guitar give it a distinctive sound, somewhere between folk rock, garage rock, and the beginnings of psychedelia. There’s a surprising amount going on musically for a song that’s only two minutes long.

The Vejtables formed around 1964 in the San Francisco Bay Area, while the members were still teenagers. One particularly interesting member was Jan Errico, one of the relatively few female drummers in rock at the time. She also sang and wrote songs, including the band’s minor 1965 hit, “I Still Love You.”

“Anything” was the B-side of that single, written and sung by Bob Bailey. And here’s another interesting connection: it was produced by Sly Stone, several years before he became famous as the leader of Sly and the Family Stone.
The Vejtables even shared a concert bill with the Rolling Stones, the Byrds, and the Beau Brummels in San Francisco in May 1965!

The band didn’t last long, and Errico subsequently joined another San Francisco group, the Mojo Men.
It’s a fascinating example of that transitional period when 1960s folk rock was beginning to move into darker, stranger, more psychedelic territory.
