I know this post is 12 days old, so call me slow, but here's a couple more tidbits about that flick. The band at the pool party in Ghost In The Invisible Bikini is the Bobby Fuller Four. They had to lip-sync and then overdub some vocals later. Guitarist Jim Reese was put on the piano - makes no difference anyway when no one's really playing. The Vox gear musta been some kind of promotional fix, because the BF4 hated the sound of Vox gear and wouldn't use it except to start a bonfire (as Jim Reese says in Kicks). But later on, Vox put out an ad with a still from the movie, with the BF4 "playing" on the Vox gear. Fun movie though. For an AIP beach movie, it's missing a few things, like Frankie, Annette, and the beach. But it's got Eric Von Zipper, Nancy Sinatra, Tommy Kirk, Boris Karloff, and Gorilla X, er, I mean Monstro. If'n you dig this kinda stuff, you really should check out the Dumb Angel Gazette (discussed here). The new issue just came out, and it's, like, the bossest. -Randy |
