Mello - The Premiers (1960s Garage Band)

Honestly,  I had never heard of Garage Rock before this assignment. When I was doing research though, it was also referred to as Punk Rock in the 60's. I had heard of that. It's like amateur rock music that started off as bands in a garage, and it supposed to sound unsophisticated and with lots of electric guitar, but most of the musicians are professional. I picked the Premiers because I liked their name. As I researched them more they became cooler. They are a Mexican-American boy band and became famous for their hit "Farmer John".  They were just 2 brothers from California and their 2 friends. It's so interesting because at the time the famous musicians were white or black. Singers covered songs written for other people, if a white covered a song it would be more popular of course. But this was different, they covered an old song and made it their own. They paved the way for Chicano music. They played rock and roll in English, surprising people that it wasn't Spanish. And were successful from many other single hits.
