There isn't much info online about The Event. They were a late 80s mod garage rock outfit from San Diego. I saw them play a few times, at least once at a New Sounds of the Sixties gig. I remember that they had a tendency to smash to bits old TVs and radios as part of their act, which I thought was pretty cool at the time. No matter, the sound was pure sixties garage psychadelia and R&B. The Event only ever had the one release, cleverly titled This Is The Event. The track here is from that record, "Pop Think In" and was my favorite.What is Mod? Mr. Suave's Mod, Mod World is one of the web's original modcasts celebrating mod music, and mod-influenced music from past eras including soul, ska, garage, sixties R&B power pop, punk, britpop, acid jazz, lounge, easy listening and more.
