The Fabulous Echoes: Hong Kong Garage Rockers

image
 
The Fabulous Echoes (also know as The Fab Echoes) were Hong Kong garage rockers who, in the early 60s, had a string of regional hits on Diamond Records. They were a big touring act in Malaysia, Indonesia, The Philippines and Sri Lanka.

Though based in Hong Kong, none of the members of the group were Chinese - four were Filipino, the drummer was from Scotland, and lead singer Cliff Foenander was from India.

In this clip, Fab Echoes’ member Bert Sagum (a proto Lux Interior) does a totally insane version of It Won’t Be Long. Man, could these cats rock!
