The Elois – By My Side


This is a monster of a slice of mid-60s Australian garage rock. I haven’t researched that much about this 45, but I do know that it will melt your speakers! (check out when the pummelling guitar riff comes in about 3/4 of the way through) The flip is their version of “I’m A Man” that also has it’s moments (specifically when the lead guitar starts killing it). I believe that “By My Side” is an original by the band but I don’t know if they released any other records.

Struth, throw another shrimp on the barbie & listen below!!
