The Animals: 15 Facts You Didn’t Know

wikimedia.org


The Animals were an integral part of the 1960s British rock scene. Captivating audiences with singer Eric Burdon’s deep, howling vocals, the band became something to talk about. Coming over to the U.S. during the height of the British Invasion, the band had legions of screaming fans fainting at the mere sight of them. In late 1966-early 1967, the original line-up disbanded and a new version was formed under the name Eric Burdon & the Animals. Though the band didn’t last more than a decade in any form, their music lived on as some of the most important and influential recordings ever. In 1994, The Animals were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
