the music machine

The Music Machine (1965-1969) was an American garage rock and psychedelic (sometimes referred to as garage punk) band from the late 1960s, headed by singer-songwriter Sean Bonniwell and based in Los Angeles. The band sound was often defined by fuzzy guitars and a Farfisa organ. Their original look consisted of all-black clothing and black moptop hairstyles. Bonniwell was known to wear a single black glove.

MM is one of those ground breaking bands in the mid 60's that were totally ripped off, abused by their managers who saw them as meat. What's the others? Left Banke, The Merry-Go-Round, Sonics, etc. The single black glove "style" was copied 15 yrs later by MJ, by switching to white. MM had hits I heard in 60s but for some reason I never heard their name. That's called "BAD MARKETING" by those who "used" to control the music airwaves. Thank god they don't anymore, thx to the internet. Go New!
