I present to you, Los Shakers, or as they called them back in the day “the Uruguayan Beatles”. They were this kind of band that was insipired by the Beatles and had the same look and these kind of things, but it’s not like they did covers, they actually wrote their own material. This is their first and greatest hit:

After that, they became very successful in South America and recorded an album to release it in the USA, but it wasn’t very successful, mainly because they didn’t want to tour the States because they thought they’d have problems communicating. Ironically, they sang in English (and the song titles were in Spanish a-hard-days-night-paul-11). Nevertheless, they continued touring South America and released 3 albums.

In 1968 they released La conferencia secreta del Toto’s Bar, which was their last album because their recording label didn’t like their new sound and left them, and they split up shortly after. It’s kind of a mix of rock with candombe and tango and I think people call it their Sgt Pepper ‘s.

  

I’ve only just now* heard of these guys, and am pleased to have done so, and to find that I can stream their three albums – imagine a band producing their own “Sgt Pepper ” on their 3rd album overall?! I’m always glad to discover another old 60s band adding to the collection of the era’s amazing sounds! apple01

(*actually I probably did read this page and merch’s post, and forgot, but whatever)

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

it’s probably been mentioned, but “Lemon Tree” By Fool’s Garden is probably the one song that nails the Beatles without being a pastiche or a parody that i’ve ever seen. Paul could have wrote this on Sgt. Pepper !

Brilliant.
