Liar, Liar: The Story of Minnesota's Castaways in the 1960's (Used Signed Paperback) - James Donna

It was the summer of '65. Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes, was also the Land of 1,000 Dances and a hotbed of musical talent. Teenagers were filling the local dance halls and ballrooms to hear their favorite bands, which included The Castaways. It was a time of guitars playing at full volume through Fender amplifiers, pounding drums, fast cars on the streets, and drive-ins. It was the Golden Age of Rock and Roll. LIAR, LIAR explores the true story of The Castaways as they rise from a Minnesota garage band to chart-topping national rock stars in the 1960's. It's a story that could not, and would not, happen today. The book is fully illustrated and includes quotes and stories from The Beach Boys, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Gentrys, The Beau Brummels, and other legendary bands who shared the big stage with The Castaways. "We played the same dance halls and ballrooms with The Castaways and partied with them all the way to Vancouver, Canada-- we had a wonderful time together. I remember their song "Liar, Liar" was a big hit in 1965 and they were our opening act that year-- The Castaways were great!" ― AL JARDINE, original founding member of THE BEACH BOYS
