The Trolls
The Trolls… “the Rock ‘Nest Band West of Chicago”.
The picture above is from The Trolls 2nd 45 from 1966. Members from left to right were Richard Gonzales, Phil Head, Monty Baker and Doug Rymerson.
The Trolls were probably the best Colorado Rolling Stones-style group of the 1960s. When they came up from Pueblo to play Denver, they would play the The Galaxy on Alameda (the building is still there!) or the Peppermint Lounge in the Olin Hotel on Logan near Colfax (The Olin Apartments are still there as well).
Stupid Girl is a cover of a Rolling Stones song, but the real gem here is the flipside I Don’t Recall. Here is a snippet:
Trolls – I Don’t Recall
You can hear the full version in much better sound if you track down a copy of the recent double CD: Psychedelic State – Colorado in the ’60s.
