San Francisco's Beau Brummels were amoung the first of the the American counter-invasion bands of 1965. Songs like "Laugh Laugh" and "Just A Little" were big hits and revealed an unusual mastery of harmonics and songcraft that many of "ragged but right" garage bands of the counter-invasion lacked. The Brummels, like the Byrds in L.A., were firmly imbeded in the folk rock explosion which placed an empasis on chiming guitars, minor chord progressions and haunting vocal atmospherics. It was the shimering songcraft of Ron Elliot and the Sal Valentino's expressive vocals that distinguished the Brummels for any number of Beatle wannabe bands in America in 1965.
