More bad news...

The Seeds were one of the great garage bands of the later 1960's and it was with sadness that news emerged of their lead singer and bass guitarist, Sky Saxon's death. This performance sees them at their best - performing their 1966 top 40 hit 'Pushin' too hard;' to the usual uninterested, unappreciative audience. 'Can't seem to make you mine,' one of their previously lesser known tracks - a minor hit in their native California - has been covered by Alex Chilton, Johnny Thunders and The Ramones - evidence enough of their creative credentials...I'm sure the late, great Steven Wells - polemical journalist on the NME in the 1980's/90's - wouldn't have enjoyed this too...R.I.P. both...
