Some time ago I came a cross a picture of a pretty scary bunch of Malaysians going by the name of Pietro Atilla & the Warlocks. The picture was on the inner sleeve of some schlock piano LP from the same country.
For all I know they play covers of Mantovani, but they have a healthy interest in paisley/brocade frock coats and Attila the Hun moustaches which says maybe not.
My supposition is that as Malaysia was on the Vietnam R&R route there would be loads of bar bands churning out Creedence Clearwater Revival, Elvis and Jose Feliciano covers . Now some of these must have been a bit more wigged out than others and maybe made it to vinyl.
We all know about the Japanese (Spiders, Samurai ,blah blah blah).
So my challenge to the collected minds of VV land is - Malaysian Psych crock of gold or crock of shite?
