The Rolling Stones has been playing gigs continuously in and around London since early 1963, at clubs and pubs mostly. But this month they are set for their first tour, a so-called package tour, which was a thing in the ‘60s.

There’s not a lot going on in the world right now that I want to write about. There’s the Vietnam war. Protests against the war. Failed space launches. I kinda want this to be a positive thing, you know?
I’ve finally stumbled over the first Norwegian release since I started this project. I mean, there have been other releases, but they are not available on the streaming platforms that I use. And like I’ve mentioned before; I’m not rich enough to buy all the records I can’t find on the internet. But The Monn Keys will be the first Norwegian band to get some attention here on This Band Could Be Your Life.
Even though we can track The Beatles all the way back to 1957, I’ve decided to not write about them until now. But they weren’t even called The Beatles back then, so I’ve come to the conclusion that I did the right thing here. In 1957 the it was John Lennon’s band and they were called the Quarry Men. And to be perfectly honest; it didn’t really become interesting until Paul McCartney joined in.
