Shindig Dancers

As promised, one more look at the exciting stage show presented by the New Invaders. Not on stage for all songs but brought up for the rocking dance tunes, the pair of Shindig dancers, Roberta and Carla, add to the atmosphere of fun and enjoyment at every show.

For those of you too young to remember, there were several rock & roll television shows in the 60s, from The Monkees to Hullabaloo! (yes, including the exclamation point!), Dick Clark's Bandstand and an afternoon show called Action. That third title was another Dick Clark show which featured Paul Revere & The Raiders, red coats and all. Freddy Cannon was another contributor, and his hit song Action ("Let me take you where the action is . . ."). And the list should also include The Ed Sullivan Show. The Really Big Show not only brought the Beatles to New York, it also forced the Rolling Stones to change the words of one of their risque songs. Imagine Mick Jagger singing "Let's spend some time together."

And one of the popular shows was called Shindig. It featured lots of music and lots of go-go dancing. Throughout the decade, young rockers were quite able to tune in and see great music several nights a week. Roberta and Carla bring high energy to the stage and keep the go-go tradition alive.

Loads of fun at a New Invaders concert. Why not try them out for yourself this summer season?
