Upstate New York's Chesterfield Kings landed upon the growing punk/new wave scene in the late '70s with an unbelievably raw '60s rhythm & blues sound that borrowed heavily from pre-1966 Rolling Stones. The group, so unlike any other underground sensations of the period, arguably kickstarted the entire '80s garage rock revival, which flourished in small circles until the end of the decade.
After releasing two scene-defining LPs, "Here Are the Chesterfield Kings" and "Stop!", the combo changed its lineup and sound. With only singer Greg Prevost and bassist Andy Babiuk remaining from the Kings' 1979 incarnation, the band rescinded its promise never to sound like anything from rock's post-1966 history, and began to generate a '70s Rolling Stones/Flamin' Groovies hard rock image and sheen, which culminated in its 1994 LP, "Let's Go Get Stoned", a sendup/tribute of post-Aftermath Rolling Stones. Still, the Kings have never drifted too far from their garage band roots, and the group's subsequent albums, which include "Don't Open Til Doomsday" (1997), "Where the Action Is" (1999), "The Mindbending Sounds of the Chesterfield Kings" (2003), Psychedelic Sunrise (2007) and "Live On Stage... If You Want It" (2009) have all been cut from the same fabric.

Thanks a lot for this! I saw the Kings open for the Dolls in '06...an AMAZING show!
In August I made a trip back to the place where I lived in the mid-eighties and where I have kept a small storage room.
I was digging through some boxes and was lucky to find the correspondence I entertained with Greg Prevost at the time.
His letters were all dated "1966" and the envelopes carried a reproduction of the cover of the first Thirteenth Floor Elevators lp!
I should scan these at some point and share with all.
Thank you for this post, long live the Kings!
