THE TROGGS (literally: "troglodytes", "cave men") - British rock quartet who played the so-called "Cave Rock» (caveman rock), it turned out - according to the testimony of Iggy Pop and The Ramones - a significant impact on the formation of garage rock and punk roka.Buduschie THE TROGGS participants attended the same school in Andover, Hampshire. In the final year of Tony Mansfield (Tony Mansfield; guitar and vocals), Dave Wright (Dave Wright; lead guitar) and Reggie Ball (Reg Ball, bass) took part in a football match against a neighboring school. In the course of communication revealed that Ronnie Bond (Ronnie Bond, real name Ronald Bullis (Ronald Bullis) - goalkeeper rivals - is able to hold not only balls, but also drum sticks, and their school band just needed a drummer. A year later, in the autumn of 1964 year, Reg mason worker quit his job and led the group on a professional level. They decided to call themselves THE TROGGLODYTES, in honor of the ancient inhabitants of a nearby cave Cheddar Gordzh.V 1965 Mansfield and Wright decided to quit music. Ball invited in their place two musicians from competing group - TEN FOOT FIVE, already had time to make a "sorokapyatka» Send Me No More Lovin / Baby's Back in Town at the firm Fontana. Chris Britton (Chris Britton) played guitar, and Pete Staples (Pete Staples) - bass, so Reggie had up to the microphone. Closer to the fall on some dance floor manager Larry Page THE KINKS heard THE TROGGLODYTES sing you Really Got Me in their own, rather peculiar arrangement. He was delighted with their aggressive manner and immediately invited the group to sign a contract. Already in February 1966 CBS abbreviated for simplicity band name THE TROGGS released "EP," with the song Ball Lost Girl, which has successfully failed, and so for the next single Paige decided to take someone else's room. After some doubt, the choice was made in favor of an obscure song by American author Chip Taylor - Wild Thing, previously unsuccessfully made American band THE WILD ONES. Reg initially horrified by reading the text of this song, but weighted sound and replace the original whistle on unusual solo Ball ocarina, THE TROGGS recorded the song and offered her Fontana. Not quite decent by the standards of the time around the group text created an aura of scandal and timely appearance in television Thank Your Lucky Star and Top Of The Pops helped to achieve national fame. In addition, Ball said that he officially changed its name to Presley (Presley). In May, Wild Thing came in second place in the British list, and a month later for two weeks topped the American charts. Another scandal occurred when it was revealed that in the US the song was published simultaneously by two companies - Fontana and Atco. It is worth noting that in the next year as "the unofficial anthem of Britain", it played at the festival in Monterey Jimi Hendrix, who finished their violent execution by burning guitar. In July, the first album THE TROGGS released in England in September - in the US, and in the late fall - in Germany, where the band's popularity soon acquired epidemic. The next single, With A Girl Like You, was the first in England, but only 29th in the US, and I Can not Control Myself, respectively, 2-m and 43-m. The author of both, now classical, the room was Reg Presley. Paige by this time established his own company Page One, the first product of which was the second album THE TROGGS - Trogglodynamite. In early 1967 the band made another hit song Chip Taylor - Any Way That You Love Me (№ 8), and then released a little less successful Give It To Me (№ 12). Spring with a manager was fired Paige, unsuccessfully trying to change the image of THE TROGGS. Rather unexpected for a group of hippie style Night Of The Long Grass (№ 17) was their contribution to the atmosphere of "Psychedelic Summer". In November THE TROGGS achieved last major success in the US with another hippie anthem - the song Love Is All Around (№7, №5 in the UK). Immediately after the case group nosedived. In March 1969, the group left Pete Staples. In his place was taken by Tony Murray (Tony Murray) from THE PLASTIC PENNY. The group continued to perform, but no longer in large halls, and at the Variety Theatre, and so on. N., And by the end of the year was all broken up (Presley in 1969-70 recorded a solo singles and Lucinda Lee Let's Pull Together, Bond - Anything For You, and Britton - a whole album as I Am), but managed to stay on the brink and in 1972 - Britton by this time succeeded Richard Moore (Richard Moore), - return to active work in colleges and clubs in England, France, Holland and Germany. The success of pirated cassettes The Troggs Tapes c recordings made by the Group at the end of its work with Page One, stimulated the re-release of old papers and helped THE TROGGS sign a new contract with DJM. Growing interest in him led by David Bowie to invite a group in his first American television program The 1980 Floor Show (November 1973), which caused a new explosion in the United States for its popularity. In 1975, having been reconciled with Paige, THE TROGGS released on his new label Penny Farthing specific alterations Good Vibration by THE BEACH BOYS and (I Can not Get No) Satisfaction ROLLING STONES. The following year was undertaken great nostalgic tour of the United States, has had an enormous impact on its infancy then a new wave. In 1976, the composition of the deposited THE TROGGS second guitarist Colin "Dill" Fletcher (Colin Dill Fletcher), and on the FM-radio constantly sounded their new single Summertime. At the end of the decade the composition has been altered several times: Murray left and bass took over Pete Lucas (Pete Lucas), then was replaced by Joe Barth (Jo Burt), later played in SECTOR 27, appeared and disappeared Britton and t. N . in 1979, THE TROGGS again performed in the United States, and the recording of the concert at the famous cafe Max's Kansas City was later published in plastinke.Na over 80s are periodically pop up from time to time something published, although it has already been residual activity . In autumn 1991, they tracked down the band REM, longtime admirers THE TROGGS. The result was the dialogue recorded jointly (and even with Paige as a producer) album, released in late 1991, and contain original material (songs Presley, Peter Holseppla, Chip Taylor and others). Recorded participated Presley, Britton, Lucas, a new drummer Dave Mags (Dave Mags), as well as three of the four members of REM November 13, 1992 died of alcoholism parted ways with the group in the mid-80s Ronnie Boyd.
