The Back Pages, authentic San Francisco bay area 60’s rock band, recreates the positive sound, image and spirit of 60’s rock and roll. Audiences will recognize the songs and will be “feelin’ groovy” making your event or a night out at the pub memorable for years to come.
All band members grew up listening to northern California Top 40 and FM underground radio throughout the 60’s and early 70’s. Although they lived in different communities, their stories are the same. As teenagers they acquired instruments before they could even play them and eventually started garage bands playing classic nuggets such as Gloria, Wild Thing and Louie, Louie.
Although they drove their parents and neighbors crazy with loud, repetitious three chord rock and roll, they got the attention of local kids who would park their bikes and dance to the wonderful noise resonating from the garage. Soon they would be invited to play house parties and school dances. They would become known at school as guys in a rock band with long hair, paisley shirts, tight pants and Beatle boots. They spent their extracurricular time learning rock and roll songs of the era: British Invasion, American garage, psychedelic, surf and folk rock. And, that was it… . They never learned any songs beyond the late 60’s.
Since 1988 The Back Pages continue to play the music that influenced their youth with the same intensity, feeling and authenticity that attracted neighborhood kids in the mid ‘60s. It’s the real thing!
