QUESTION MARK AND THE MYSTERIANS
It only took one song, the organ-driven number one smash "96 Tears," to make ? & the Mysterians
into garage rock legends. Eccentric frontman Question Mark (actually spelled "?," once he had his name
legally changed) cultivated an aura of mystery by never appearing in public without a pair of wraparound sunglasses.
The Mysterians' sound helped lay down an important part of the garage rock blueprint, namely
the low-budget sci-fi feel of the Farfisa and Vox organs (most assumed that "96 Tears" had featured the former,
but ? later remembered using the latter). What was more, they were one of the first Latino rock groups to have a major hit,
and ?'s sneering attitude made him one of the prime suspects in the evolution of garage rock into early punk
