The Barbarians - The Barbarians (1965)

"You've Got to Understand" by The Barbarians


After The Supremes, the T.A.M.I. Show brought out their most confounding pick in the concert's lineup, The Barbarians, who performed a one song setlist of their only single at the time.  If the movie opened with a call and response of Chuck Berry and The Pacemakers to highlight the influence American music had on the Beats, it follows that the inclusion of The Barbarians are representative of the regional garage rock band formed under the influence of rock returned via the British Invasion.

The Barbarians released one album The Barbarians in 1965 on Laurie Records.

Here is the The Barbarians complete discography:

Hey Little Bird (1964 single)
Are You a Boy or Are You a Girl (1965 single)
What the New Breed Say (1965 single)
The Barbarians
Moulty (1966 single)
