This week I wanted to highlight one of my favorite Instagram pages, The Scene In Between. This page checks a lot of boxes for me. It has cool music, cool clothes, and it’s heavy on vibes. It focuses on early and obscure band pics with an emphasis on unknown1960’s garage bands. I almost said that it’s not clothing related, but it’s almost impossible to separate music from fashion and this my kind of music fashion.
Below are a sampling of pics to give you a taste of what Sam Knee is cooking over there. If these glimpses into rock’s past don’t wet your whistle I don’t know what will. I love seeing the ivy look bleed into psychedelic scene, the clean cut all-American boys of the 1950’s morphing into punk rockers right before our very eyes, or even more simply just kids having fun with their friends making music.
Even those post is about clothes it’s not all about clothes. Sometimes it’s nice not to think about clothes. Sometimes, I feel like I gotta get away. And I know if I don’t, I’ll go out of my mind. Better leave it behind with the kids, they’re alright. The kids are alright.
That July ’66 pic of the guy with the 12-string unknown… that looks a lot like a Fender to me. Fender was known for the Strats, Teles and basses; but made a few short runs of electric 12s (which no major band guitarist was playing). Everybody wanted a Rickenbacker 360/12.
Your guitar knowledge far outweighs mine! just there for the clothes and the vibes lol.
Those are some cool pics. Thanks for that , following that guy now.
Wow, these are gems! Scrolling through these is making me nostalgic for my own high school era of hanging-out-in-a-basement-with-the-band. I was recently reflecting that being a band as a teenager was when I was at my most creative with clothes, too. Were the fits always good? Hardly! However, the spirit of fun was always worth it.
