The Undecided ? - Make Her Cry


The Undecided - Make Her Cry (1966)
I'd never heard this until today. Make Her Cry is the a-side of which the previous post's I Never Forgot Her was the b-side. This tune wasn't on any of the Pebbles or Teenage Shutdown compilations. It did however appear on a volume of the Garage Punk Unknowns compilation series but I missed those so...

To say the sonic contours and musical aesthetics of this song were unexpected is probably an understatement. Initial impression is: This sounds like The Beach Boys doing a glam rock stomper five years early. It's the kinda music indie/psych/hypnagogic artists were aiming for twenty years ago. You could imagine a cover of this turning up on a James Ferraro recording circa On Air.  

Anyhow Make Her Cry woulda been a barnstormer at the local Michigan teen beat sock hop back in the day!

This is glam rock in 1966.
