Beebe Gallini
Begged, Borrowed And Stealed!
Upon seeing an all-star frat band of Deke Dickerson of The Untamed Youth, Miss Georgia Peach set out to start her own girls in the garage party band in the twin cities Minnesota. Thus, Beebe Gallini was formed! For this project producer and drummer for the group Travis Ramin brought the group into the legendary Kay Bank Studio in Minneapolis. A studio rich in musical history where everything from Dave Dudley's 'Six Days On The Road' and The Fendermen's 'Muleskinner Blues' to The Trashmen's legendary 'Surfin' Bird' and all of Soma Records' Big Hits Of Mid America were recorded. The early Guess Who recorded there and decided on their name in the building even - the list goes on and on! Travis' idea for a record was to re-record some Minnesota garage classics that were originally recorded there in the same room and invite some of their garage rockin' friends to join them. 'Run Run Run' by The Gestures and 'Why' by The Accents would feature on lead guitar Keith Patterson (formerly of The Funseekers, The Spectors, and The Conquerors). 'I Believe' from The High Spirits would feature Melanie Vammen of The Pandoras' organ solo and Russell Quan famously of The Mummies, Flakes and Dukes Of Hamburg would take lead vocal on The Kan-Dels' raucous 'Cry Girl.' The session was so successful that it expanded into the full-length album 'Begged, Borrowed And Stealed' and batch of material expanding beyond the Minnesota borders, with tunes from Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, Otis Redding, Beebe themselves and more! Recording in the sacred space made for a special rock and roll party album which also features the artwork of legend Cliff Mott! So, get ready for an all-star cast and a little dose of Minnesota garage rock and soul!
