Blue Cheer

Blue Cheer was an American rock band that roared across the country with "Summertime Blues" in 1967. The song climbed to #14 on the Hot 100, and things looked good for the power trio.  But the song provided their only hit, and even though they stayed together until 2009, they never hit the charts again.  Credited as pioneers of Heavy Metal, Blue Cheer had a big fan... Dick Clark of American Bandstand.  Since today is Bandstand's birthday, included is a video of Clark introducing Blue Cheer on his show...
