Although I've only heard about them recently, San Jose's Syndicate of Sound was one of the earliest garage bands from the 1960s. They toured with The Yardbirds, The Rascals, The Animals, Sam the Sham and even opened locally for the Rolling Stones. Their 1966 hit single "Little Girl" has its supposed millionth on air playing on local San Jose radio station KFox Tuesday August 14 on the Greg Kihn morning show.
Although they disbanded in 1970, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and still do occasional gigs including tonight's show at The Bank Club. Their album Little Girl was reissued on Sundazed in 1997 and is available at Amazon.com.
