Speaking of The Beat Club (William Bergers post, below), here are The Monks going at it with their oversized maracas on German TV back in the mid Sixties. I saw this clip once before, at the WFMU Record Fair, but thanks to youtube, practically all rare music videos are merely a click away. [download video, 20 mb, mpeg file or stream it via youtube here]
More where that came from: Dietmar Post's and Lucia Palacio's feature-length Monks doc as video on demand stream:
