THE HULLABALLOOS - "England's Newest Singing Sensations" (1965)

 

The Hullaballoos came out with this self-titled LP in 1965, and were one of the original British Invasion bands, except for one thing, the public just didn't go for it, and they broke up in 1966. A lot of their music was obviously influenced by Buddy Holly.

It was sheer coincidence that the American pop rock music TV show "Hullaballoo" aired in the same time period. Consequently The Hullabaloos appeared on the show.

 

The Hullaballoos weren't the best lookin' guys in the world and the long bleached blonde hair must not have appealed to the general public that much. They had one song in 1965 called "Did You Ever" that hit #74 on the Billboard charts that had a real Buddy Holly feel to it, but I like this more Beatles and Buddy sounding one myself.
