Thee Midniters toman su inspiracion desde el sonido de la British Invasion al mas tradicional R&B.Oriundos de Los Angeles, fueron la primer banda chicana en tener algun exito e inclusive llegar a lanzar un album de Greatest Hits. Todo un logro.
Consiguieron varios exitos a nivel local, como por ejemplo "Land of a Thousand Dances" en 1965.
La mayoria de los temas eran rapidos con la suficiente furia como para denominarlos moderados punks.
De todas maneras el cantante Willie Garcia tenìa habilidad para desarrollar lentas y empalagosas baladas.
Son interesantes tambien "Whittier Blvd" y la version del clasico "Everybody needs somebody to love".
Aguardo vuestros comentarios para poder salr completamente de este ostracismo.

Pillé el "In Thee Midnite Hour!!! de Thee Midniters al tiempo que una antología de Cannibal & the Headhunters, con quienes compartían algo más que su origen hispano ,...y se los comían con patatas. Un gran grupo de R&Soul!!!
Personally, I find the album released by Norton Records "The Midniters - In Thee Midnight Hours" is 100 times better than this greatest hits (the choice of the songs is not good). If you want it, I can post it for you and for Dias de Garage Blog. Otherwise, bravo for all yours efforts and for your excellent blog (just one thing, it's REALLY SHAME you add not the artwork with the albums. Personally I never record an album without the artwork!!!! perhaps you'll make it in the future, it will be great!!!!)

Thank you very much friends!!!!
Nice Comments!!!
Hey Buddycat, sure I want!! I dont have in the midnite hours, I appreciate if you could post the link on the comments section, and I will post it with the cover and a little review as usual.
Thank you very much!!!
Dear Buddy, I always encourage people to colaborate with this little site, if you want to help us, you`re welcome!
Sometimes its difficult to carry on a work like this, knowing that you have your life, job and everything.
The music posted here are only samples, I like the artwork too, but takes me a lot of time that I dont have, anyway you can get the cover surfing on the internet, or copying the photo from the review.
I think the music is the most important at least in these times of digital craps.
With my friend Pablo, we are trying to show people bands that are completely forgotten, this is important to me.
I am from Argentina, and in the beginning I thought that this site was for argentine people, but they dont visit me, ha!, (judging by the comments), they are busy listening to modern music.
Now I`m very happy with visitors like you, that understand the music and the purpose.
Thank you, see you.
Thanks for these Midinters comps, though I would disagree with buddycat in that the Greatest CD has the superior songs. Thee Midniters were as much if not more a "brown-eyed soul" group as a garage band. Little Willie G's voice is the main attraction
(and those low rider grooves). Thanks again.
