THE PINK FAIRIES were a British band featuring Canadian guitarist Paul Rudolph whose roots lay in the Underground scene of the late 60s in the UK
drummer Twink had been a member of the Pretty Things and Rudolph went on to play the lead solo on Eno's Baby's on Fire from the 74 album 'Here come the warm Jets'
They played many free festivals in the early 70s
In a class of its own. Paul Rudolph= one of the GREAT unsung guitar heroes.
i am 56 years old this year 2010
and saw the pinks at least 10 times
in various venues in south wales uk
they were much better live than on record
still love getting the albums out when i can up the pinks
10 pints and the pinks live with a gang of friends and only sixteen what more did i need
Totally agree see them loads along with real bands man ufo hawkwind etc etc 👍
I was 57 years old on Tuesday......and was brought up with all this stuff and also lived to tell the tale !!
Paddy
One of the the very few bands that have been considered heavy rock, progressive and punk!
Saw the Pinks...'76 at the Marquee.........still got the tinnitus to prove it!
Me too, I have tinnitus, you do not get tinnitus from listening to Come on Eileen by the Dexty Midnight runners.
Saw the fairies at the Marquee doing a Christmas party. ..amazing !!
Pardon can yer speak up!
Wow! Never heard "The snake" before. What a smokin tune!
How the FUCK have I never heard this before?!
This is crazy great!!!!!!
Still sends shivers down my spine when the guitar is already brilliant but then bursts through into the psychedellosphere from nowhere! :) :) :)
The snake best single ever.👍
How music used to be. Listen and learn. Chaos has returned the fairies are in town
LOVE the pink fairies
ASOLUTELY F****NG FABULOUS :-) Love the fairies
Thanks kentishbloke for posting these songs. The Snake in particular is an amazing song -- it has the same manic protopunk intensity of Iggy's "I've Got a Right", and the vocals at times remind me of GBH's "City Baby Attacked By Rats".
What a band !!!!
The more i listen to this stuff the more i like it..
Have been a great fan since the early 1970tes. - Awesome
hear the anarchy. love it.
This rocks. 🎸
hi people! this is what i call good music and attitude! my favourites Snake & Do it
Do it rules the earth pf
Absolute classic!
Saw them live three times though once it descended into chaos as they would scoop up drugs thrown onto the stage and swallow them and became too stoned to play and wrecked the kit and stormed off.
Hahaha brilliant 😁
Saw them at the Roundhouse and they were handign out 'chewing gum' . . .
Saw them once where the roadies kept putting Twink back on his drum stool as he was to out of it to remain vertical for long
Thats were happy mondays got the idea from /
Hilarious 😄...
England's answer to MC5!
Spot on Kurt was just going to say the same thing when i saw your post ,same sort of vibe !
@@rosaceusborgogne5517
Just as I was about to include The Deviants in a sort of triad in response to the other commenter here, lo and behold ...you matched me. How awesome is that!!
However, only one slight inaccuracy that I feel the need to disagree with you on, and it is that MC5 were precursors to The Deviants. In an odd twist events, I guess you could say that England knocked and then answered twice with both the Fairies and Deviants (with Twink to bind them both together).
Of the two, however, it is The Deviants who exhibited a more-or-less direct influence from MC5 when compared to Fairies, and more consistently so. And back to the states, there was, in turn, Cleveland Ohio's The Electric Eels who between 1972 through 1975, improvised on the aesthetic first applied by The Deviants, but not without wholly or in part by way of progenitors MC5; considering that their earliest performances go as far back as 1964. They didn't, btw, cut their first record, Kick Out The Jams; until 1969.

Yes, indeed! In some way, whether directly or indirectly, they are all linked aesthetically, historically, contemporaneously, geographically, venue wise or otherwise ... Captain Beefheart + MC5 + The Pretty Things > The Deviants > Twink >... (+ Hawkwind) ...> Pink Fairies >< MC5 (again) > The Electric Eels > The Bizarros > The Mirrors > The Styrenes > The Pagans. In all, it was MC5 (or in certain other cases but not all, Captain Beefheart) who played a central role for all of the above. I would add others. But they were secondary (and quite numerous), but nevertheless essential, such as Alice Cooper, Simply Saucer, and countless others I am sure. And while The Stooges are considered primary, for the purposes of illustrating a causal relationship between primarily, MC5 + Captain Beefheart = Deviants and henceforth...., I will not include them as, though seminal, not quite seminal as it relates more directly to above lineage. But, to be fair, not one I mentioned above who came after MC5 and Captain Beefheart, was not influenced by The Stooges, as most all of them were, in fact, influenced in some way or another by them. But again, just not in the way as MC5, Deviants and Pink Fairies.
Larry Wallis was the original Motorhead guitarist before fast Eddie.
Not on this track though.
@@Glantoniainthey didn't say he was 😂 but close... 😏
Up the Pinks!
What a great band, did I see these guys on Britain got talent about ten years ago.
Music from a time long past. sadly missed in my opinion....
wish i had seen them, saw the Groundhogs at the Thames Poly cellar bar. Great sound the Pinks had there, fuckin love it....
Thank Christ for the Bomb!
J'adore ce groupe
great photo thanx,great live band ,saw them in llandudno ffs! i was 16/17 nbought Never Never Land soon afterwards.DOIT!!!!
the snake, recommended to me by the owner of a second-hand record shop in tunbridge wells, a lady who smoked rollies with little roaches, some 30+ years ago. i still smoke rollies with little roaches and the snake is still my favourite song of all time.
(i think i'm technically a 'bloke of kent')
Opposite Weekes? Up the side.
@@hugohugo2832 Yes, lower end of Grove Hill Road. That tiny lady was an 'influencer' way before such a term existed, enigmatic but with the uncanny ability to read one's musical desires from 10 paces away.
Paul Rudolph plays that liquidy bass part on Enos 'Here He Comes'..check it out
Ah the seeds of the future...

Up the Pinks!
Crackin' upload mate ;-)
I don't like these comments about punk before its time - I don't know a lot about this band but it sounds like great 70s rock - I love punk - but there were loads of bands that sounded like this in the early 70s - the production sounds a lot like the Aftershave album - brilliant stuff though.
Well said
not to mention Wayne Kramer of MC5 collaborated with Pink Fairies
Amazing!
Paul Rudolph also played lead guitar in Hawkwind around 1977, I always thought that Robert Fripp played on Baby's on fire.
Paul played from 1975 to the end of 1976 with Hawkwind
Apparently Paul runs a motor cycle shop in Canada the last I heard.
@@MahoganyRushSteve not a motorbike shop but a bicycle shop!
Fripp and Rudolph both play guitar on Baby's On Fire and (I think) Fripp plays guitar and Rudolph bass on Driving Me Backwards. Paul plays guitar and bass on Here Come The Warm Jets
Cheers
Fantastic.
best fuckin band in the world!!
I like ken Dodd👌well swingin ennit 👍👍🥳
I had 2 of their albums. Go Cleveland Go!
I always thought Brian James era Damned were heavily influenced by the Fairies.
yeah i can hear that now youve mentioned it never made the connection before .
The Damned did do a cover of 'The Snake' apparently, now lost...
the damned toured with the pink fairies and on the tour bus Larry Wallis said to the damneds' nutjob bassist "who do you think you are....Captain bloody sensible!!??" (or words to that effect) and so the nickname of a legend came into being...
@@hugfortysix4168 thanks for the story!👍🎸🤘
@@Laverda981 nah that was Algys Band TANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great stuff must dig out my copy of Never never Land 5 stars.
great grooves
Don't knew them before today. Thanks youtube !!!
@Bakewelllard - Twink is still alive and living in Colchester
BEST ROCK....
Punk rock
Check Twink out with The Pretty Things !!!!!
Never Never Land!!
@nannerbj Why did these guys not get more famous??? Great band!!!
Why I had the impression that Lemmy used to play in Pink Fairies..? I could swear he says so in his biography.
Members of Hawkwind and the Pinks were pretty well interchangeable in the early 70's, presumably on who was too stoned to play that night - believe the two bands would play on now & then as 'Pinkwind'
@@1960jeremyc nice, cheers for the reply! Took 11 years for someone to react :D
Well swingin ennit tho 🥳👍👍👌🦆

I'll give you 15,000 intergalactic credit for a gig on Uranus 😂
All the King's of Oblivion trio now on Uranus.... 😎😔
All I know is crank is well and alive in this performasnce !
This shit rocks
Paul Rudolf was in Hawkwind for a while and I thought it was Robert Fripp on Eno's Baby's on fire.
Paul apparently play on This Town Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us by Sparks.
I've got this vinyl.
I guess you haven't seen the Stooges documentary where Iggy says "everything I did was based on the blues".
Yes Twink is still alive and living in Colchester
LISTEN TO MAY BLITZ if you guys like this band! also FLIED EGG, TIN HOUSE, ULTIMATE SPINACH, IRON CLAW, BUDGIE, AND LUCIFER'S FRIEND!.....seriously
It's got a lot to do with the blues cause they either used the blues scale or they just played around chords one and four. The sound wasn't already there at all.
there was a great (longish) b/w video on U tube of the fairies jamming out with i think both larry and paul? (not sure) can't find it anymore; anyone know?
where were they playing in this photo. I reckon Bath UK Down by the river, maybe in the Rec
Kathrine working-on-it Honour, Looks like Trafalgar Square in front of Nelsons column.
Oops, Wallis. Just did my homework and I've got a new guitar hero to study. Ace
It was Fripp. Yes!
they both played on it.
@kentishbloke Nice one Kentishbloke. I've just about recovered!
Their sound might have been new at the time but it belongs to 1969/1970.
Punk rock was a new sound and it belongs to 1976/1977.
Could possibly be the very first Hardcore Punk Rock song?
No.
It's rock music years before punk came along
@kentishbloke - in that case Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps invented punk in 1956.
city kids sounds so much like Buzzcocks or rather the other way around
+Whoopysnorp other way and i've toured with them
+Whoopysnorp Totally Buzzcocks sounding, even the vocal sounds like Pete.
@publicanimal yes, but... was Iggy correct?
does any one have bass tabs for this? its simple but i cant work it out
You need acid tabs to play this not bass tabs!!
wysh oi wuz a goil?! :)
Sounds like early punk.
:D by Tinja&Markku
The Stooges weren´t sounding blues-based, they created something totally new, dude.
Punk came in 1976. When the New rose and Anarchy singles came out that year they sounded like nothing that came before. MC5, New york dolls, Stooges, Velvets etc were blues based bands - this is why I say it's late 60s/early 70s rock. The two singles from 76 were based on a major scale - nothing to do with the blues - that's why it was a new sound.
You can hear bits and pieces in this that may have influenced The Damned and The Buzzcocks , i think its fair to say an influence on punk .
...So Brian James and Steve Jones guitar playing had nothing to do with the blues......?????!
I was a BIG fan of the Fairies, Stray and Groundhogs.. brilliant bands live. I can recall Twink and Russel had a punch up onstage at Croydon Greyhound.. mid song too. I thought - if I ever get a band together I might borrow that idea. 😏
It's common knowledge that Johnny Rotten copied Chris Karrer -
Does this make Amon Duul II a punk band?
Van der graaf generator were his fave band -
but they weren't punk
YEEEEEEEOW! TEW BITCHEN.
Tim i almost skipped this one if you wasnt on my subscribed list my friend. British hippie band? Over here we had bands like Ten Years After and Quicksilver Messenger Service.- Best Regards mate! - Thomas
@kentishbloke ... Aries me, which makes me a gob-shite I believe!
F*****G MEGA. ..Willis where are you??
Check out Larry Wallis on parole.
Seek on RUclips - Tank - The Snake
I thought this was Larry Wallace's band. Educate me
No,Larry only joined them from the 3rd lp Kings of oblivion.
Paul was their guitarist from the start ie Social Deviants,The Deviants,The Pink Fairies.
¡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's heavier than Sabbath
