The Music Machine...

The 60's spawned a lot of bands that tried to garner attention by being different... The Music Machine pulled it off with success, but it didn't last long.  This LA based garage rock band performed with dyed black hair, black clothing, and each member wearing a black glove on one hand.  With a sound filled with fuzz-box guitars and Farfisa organ, their song "Talk Talk" was a top 20 hit in 1966.  The band failed to hit again, and broke up not long after.   Their first album is very solid (pictured below) and Talk Talk is a decent song, but largely forgotten today.
