Animal Attraction: Jeff Cuyubamba, a longtime booster of New York's garage/psych/mod scene (when he's not designing the pages of The New York Observer) has put photos of the Hilton Valentine/Lynchpins show up on his Web site. (I wrote about the show in an earlier Dawn Patrol installment.)
Above is Valentine with Lynchpins bassist Doug Mayer. As group leader Michael Lynch (auteur of The Dawn Patrol's ultra-catchy jingle) pointed out to me after the show, the former Animals guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was impressively youthful, in terms of both his looks and his playing. He didn't look like an older guy, Michael noted, so much as a young guy with gray hair.
