Friday Matinee – February 26, 2016
From therocknrollautographshow.com:
Known as one of the “Godfather’s of Punk,” Tony Valentino is best recognized for being the founding guitarist of the popular 60s band, The Standells. Formed in Los Angeles during the early 1960s, the garage rock band hit big with their song “Dirty Water” in 1966. Valentino created the famous guitar rift for the classic song that has been listed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s “500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.” The song has also become an anthem to Boston athletics and can be heard after every Boston Red Sox home victory and during Boston Celtics and Boston Bruins home games.
Valentino and The Standells can even be seen in an episode (“Far Out Munsters”) of the popular 60s sitcom, The Munsters, playing a cover of the Beatles’ “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”
Tony Valentino has toured with such bands as The Rolling Stones, Sonny & Cher, Paul Revere & the Raiders, and Otis Redding. He has been produced by Sonny Bono. He co-wrote and performed on the pioneering punk song, “Riot On Sunset Strip” which made him known as the Godfather of Punk.
