defrogIt’s been true since the beginning that the rockinrolls is as much about stage presence as it is about the actual music (Chuck Berry’s duck walk, Jerry Lee Lewis setting his piano on fire, etc). This was especially true during the first 15 years or so, when every third garage in America had a band in it playing more or less the same songs, or writing songs that sounded like them. A unique stage gimmick helped set you apart.
Of course, often they only set you apart long enough to get you yr allotted 15 minutes of fame.
The Cavemen are a classic example.
