APACHE 65 - DAVIE ALLAN & THE ARROWS (1965)

In the mid-sixties this band provided some biker soundtracks which became cult classics , like "Wild Angles" , "Born Losers" e.t.c. Their sound stood somewhere between surf and garage - psychedelia and their "Blues Theme" from the "Wild Angels" soundtrack (starring Peter Fonda) is loved by almost all the garage fans!Davie Allan has a unique guitar style with lots of fuzz , wah-wah ,tremolo and fantastic use of feedback. Looking back now, i think he is one of the most influential guitarists of the surf garage-psychedelic scene,along with Link Wray and Dick Dale.This is their first LP , originally released from Tower in 1965 and , as Davie Allan said , "gave a little indication as to what the defined Arrows sound would be". Not so fuzzy but fantastic still...
