Revision as of 12:48, 19 May 2013 by Erbs (Talk | contribs) (The Erbs played highschool and Gardens dances in the latter half of the 1960's - once won a CJLX Battle of the Bands against The Rolling Stones with their recording of "Hey Joe".)
The mid 60's were a golden era for garage bands playing the latest r&b, soul music and of course whatever pop topped the charts. The Erbs came together at FWCI, eventually playing assemblies and dances at various high schools and appearing regularly at the "famous" dances held at Fort William Gardens where the girls danced with each other in the centre of the space in front of the bandstand, while the guys walked in a circle around them. These evenings featured a number of bands on any given night, including Paul Shaffer's Fugitives and many others described on this great site.
