Along with the Byrds, the Beau Brummels were touted in 1965 as America's "answer" to the British Invasion. What was held to be uniquely American about these groups was their grounding in folk music. Older than the average garage band, members of these groups had been playing for years in folk and hootenanny bands, the big craze on the campuses of the early Sixties. When electric rock began tugging some young folkies into the mainstream, their approach to rock was distinctive enough to qualify as a new trend. Open chords, finger-picking, vocal harmonies and above all a humanistic warmth underlying the music set these bands apart.The band took its name from a 19th century English dandy, Beau Brummell, as a way of identifying with the British music scene. Additionally, band members figured that since everyone was looking for and at Beatles records, having a name that naturally followed Beatles alphabetically would be a shrewd move. In addition, the band took to wearing British-influenced mod clothes. As a result of their sound and look, they were often mistaken for an English band, especially in their first few years. However, as their music progressed, they mixed the British sound with American folk and country music and created a distincly American sound.The Beau Brummels had three Top 40 hit singles: "Laugh Laugh", "Just A Little" and "You Tell Me Why". "Just a Little" was the biggest hit of the three, spending 9 weeks in the Top 40 and reaching #8 on Billboard, while "Laugh, Laugh" hit #15, and "You Tell Me Why" peaked at #38."Laugh, Laugh" is listed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the 500 most influential songs that shaped rock and roll, and was also featured in the 1989 John Candy film Uncle Buck. On The Flintstones, in the episode based on the Shindig! TV series, the band was caricatured as "The Beau Brummelstones", singing "Laugh Laugh." They were also featured in the movie Village of the Giants which starred Beau Bridges and was later featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000. The Beau Brummels are considered by some to be the first folk rock group (although the Byrds were formed - and recorded - earlier) and they influenced numerous other acts in the genre, particularly later San Francisco groups including Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead.
