From www.garagehangover.com: Black soul club- garage soul band The Back Alley was the first white band to play there in October 1968. Ellis Starkey- “The(y) billed us as ‘The Back Alley Blue-eyed Soul Brothers’. We had a packed house! When we started playing no one danced. We had a light show, strobes, black lights, and flashing color lights. I had the strobes turned on the crowd and during the next song the dance filled up!”
