What A Way To Die

Here's a proto punk klassik from 1966 by the Pleasure Seekers. One of Detroit's finest bands! I saw them many times. The last time, they opened for the Yardbirds when both Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were in the band at the same time! The bass player is Suzi Quatro who went on to have a few massive hits in the UK and Australia in the 1970's....Hmmm, wasn't she Leather Tuscadero on the American Classic sit come Happy Days?

They were ahead of their time I would say. I remember Pinky Tuscadero, but not Leather. The memory must be starting to fade.

I hate to reveal my trivia trash culture roots, but Leather Tuscadero (Suzi Quatro) was Pinky's little sister. She was recurring character on the series and was offered her own series at one point. In the Pleasure Seekers, there are 3 Quatro sisters...who went on to become the band Cradle....they were actually pretty good. There's a great youtube video of them doing a garage band rock live cover of I'll Be There by the 4 Tops....Check it out!
