The live Zakary Thaks film
What if there were a half-hour film of a real
60s garage band performing ? Well, there is ! By some miracle, authentic
1966 Corpus Christi heroes the Zakary Thaks were filmed by a friend of their
manager, who thought it would be a good promotional tool for the band. The film (click here)
was never used and was lost for years. Now online, it's well worth watching all
the way through.
Unfortunately, the guys seem self-conscious
about the filming and they don't completely cut loose, and the same goes for
their friends dancing in front of the stage during one take. Attempts at
psychedelic lighting fail miserably. But who's complaining ?
Apparently it was a guy from Cicadelic Records
who located the film and put it online. Thanks a lot, man ! He also did this insanely long but fascinating interview with the band, talking about everything that was
happening around them in Texas at that time, including the film, their social life and the Jax beer commercial they recorded.
"...none of the Thaks finished high
school except me. They all dropped out, because of hair codes and behavioral
problems."
The film has some good songs, but does not include their garage hit, Bad Girl, which you already know
from Pebbles Vol. 2.
"I want to say [Bad Girl] was like the one true
picture of what the Zakary Thaks were as a group. That literally was written by
all five of us in one afternoon."
