With their shaved heads, flying back-flips off the stage, slamming surf guitar, wailing sax and cool vocals, The Pyramids pummelled the radio airwaves in early ‘64 with the classic “Penetration,” and they didn’t let up until waxing an epic legacy of crashing sixties surf and hot rod tracks.
Bandcamp
The Pyramids were a surf band formed in Long Beach, South California around 1961 with Skip Mercier (Lead Guitar), Willy Glover (Rhythm Guitar), Steve Leonard (Bass Guitar), Tom Pitman (Saxophone) and Ron McMullen (drums) as members.
In 1963 they recorded a single "Pyramid Stomp", which smoothly made the top hits of KMEN radio station in San Bernardino and attracted the attention of London Records executives. Britons decided to found an ephemeral Best Records label to promote The Pyramids under which the band cut a brilliant "The Pyramids Play The Original Penetration" (1964) album.

The Pyramids fue una banda de surf formada en Long Beach, California del Sur, alrededor de 1961 con Skip Mercier (guitarra solista), Willy Glover (guitarra rítmica), Steve Leonard (bajo), Tom Pitman (saxofón) y Ron McMullen (batería) como miembros.
En 1963 grabaron el single «Pyramid Stomp», que llegó sin problemas a las listas de éxitos de la emisora de radio KMEN de San Bernardino y atrajo la atención de los ejecutivos de London Records. Los británicos decidieron fundar un efímero sello Best Records para promocionar a The Pyramids bajo el cual la banda grabó un brillante álbum «The Pyramids Play The Original Penetration» (1964).
