RHYTHM CHECKERS
One of the 60s European wildest band. All their original material never compiled now on a LP. From the original masters as recorded in the 60s. LP includes an insert with all the history from the band, fotos and posters. In french and English.
The Rhythm Chekers were truly an European band, they had members from four countries over the course of their three-year career. Their first EP includes some of the wildest garage ever cut on the continent. They started in 1965 in Sarrelouis, a town in the Alsace region of Germany very close to the border with France, the band had three Germans: Dave Kelly (Wolfgang Mersinger) on vocals and guitar, Kurt Horbach on bass, and Norbert Hohlweg (spelled Hohlweck on the EP) on drums, with Eddy Van Nelfen from the Netherlands on rhythm guitar. Occasionally Frank Farian, the founder of the Hansa label, would join them on keyboards. Returning to Strasbourg in December, they cut their EP at the Kibitz Club, produced by Alain Dubois and pressed in 2000 copies. Cause I Need You and Theme of the Rhythm Checkers are originals by Robby Stierheim and Eddy Van Nelfen. Both are solid songs, though the production brings the drums and vocals to the fore and buries the fuzz guitar on Theme of the Rhythm Checkers. On this song especially, Roland's voice reminds of Roky Erickson's though I'm sure he was unaware of the Elevators at the time. They also cover Bo Diddleys Said Oh Yeah and, surprisingly, a great version of "On Your Way Down the Drain," originally by the New York group the King Bees. This song is crude as can be, a real garage classic.
On February 21, 1967 they returned to the Olympia to open for Chuck Berry. By this time another former member of the Black and White, Danny Gentner replaced Kurt Horbach on bass. A hoarse Roland Bauer opens their set with a shout of "Vivre le rock n' roll et vivre les Rhythm Checkers!" This wild performance was recorded for their second EP, featuring all cover songs this time: Long Tall Sally, Kansas City, Land of a Thousand Dances, and the Small Faces recent release I Cant Dance With You. Again they're engaged to play Paris clubs, this time the Tchoo Tchoo, the Poporama and the Bus Palladium.
