IN KEEPING WITH MY EARLIER POST ON POE,AND HOW HE FOUND HIS WAY INTO 60S GARAGE ROCK,I GIVE YOU THE TELL-TALE HEARTS!!!!!!!!!!They were one of the top San Diego bands playing original music in the mid-1980s, a popular draw in local clubs with an LP issued and regular airplay on the SDSU student station, KCR. The Tell-Tale Hearts were a retro psychedelic band, drawing from the same wellspring as nationally known acts like Plasticland and Plan 9. But in the mid-'80s Southern California music scene, everyone and everything mixed together, with rockabilly revivalists and punk rockers likely to show up to the same shows. (This was exemplified when the punk rock band X traded guitarists with rockabilly outfit the Blasters).
Stax said that vibe was evident at the Tell-Tale Hearts' shows.
"I remember our shows as wild and sometimes chaotic. When it was good, the music had an almost uncontrollable energy that swept up the band and the audience together. I think that's why we attracted so many different kinds of fans. Often, though, we were too anarchic for the mod crowd, too mod for the punk crowd, too rock 'n' roll for the psychedelic crowd, and too psychedelic for the rockabilly crowd. The goth girls always seemed to dig us, though ---- I was never sure quite why."
