What Happened to ? & The Mysterians?

[@LuxuriousInterior]

One of the best bands of the 60s garage scene, both of their albums from the 60s are both fun garage rock. The first Latino band to top the charts!

[@Altoh8su]

my grandpa played guitar for them glad to see their memory is living on

[@cmichon6899]

Thank you for all that information. Bobby Balderrama is my uncle and I didn't know all of that. Bobby is doing good and is cancer free.

[@troberts7458]

I break into dance whenever I hear 96 Tears, no matter when or where. 💜🙌

[@tombarsheff9306]

The Band played in Detroit November 11th 2023. Question Mark and the Band had an amazing performance. Looked like the Band we love from the past. Keep Going Strong

[@maryyoung1602]

Still love “96 TEARS” after all these years! ❤🎼🎤 Thank You!

[@danielschear556]

I saw "Question Mark and The Mysterians" LIVE February 4, 1967 at The University of Cincinnati Student Union Building. Sharing the bill were "Syndicate of Sound" and a last minute add, "The Beau Brummels." A pretty good concert but "The Beau Brummels" was the best band by far!

[@garyjimenez3690]

I grew up and my dad use to take us to their parents house. They worked together in the factory

[@garyjimenez3690]

You need to ask musicians from Michigan who influence them and ? Is said to be the first garage band

[@davidmolnar8251]

WOW 🙀😳 what a billing!

[@knowclue56]

Robert Balderrama to date is cancer free and is active on the smooth jazz scene. He has a #1 single on the smooth jazz charts called “Any Moment” by Ensonic. (On KZbin) The Mysterians still occasionally play shows and still sound as good as ever.

[@domingoperales5301]

in 1966 i played with a band (the teardrops) in bay city (texas). how fitting. haha. on friday nites we along with other local bands would play at the old church hall and compete in a battle of the bands. we got first place because we covered 96 tears. anytime i hear the song it takes me back to that place and time, wish i could go back. domingo

[@sylviaalambar9350]

Love your narrative to one of all time musical group!!!

[@markjulianoriginalhooli2217]

One hit wonders 96 tears was a fun little ditty

[@impalaman9707]

The thing about so called "one hit wonders" is that I'm always interested to hear what the rest of their stuff sounds like. Some of these bands have pretty good other material, and then others---well, you know why they only had one hit!

[@LuxuriousInterior]

Nah, their song I Need Somebody got to #22

[@arribaficationwineho32]

But they had other good songs

[@MrMalibu30]

kinda like Pushin Too Hard...

[@impalaman9707]

Mel Schacher was a "teenage mysterian"😅

[@satansalley6526]

Good vid..how about one on The Blues Magoos?

[@danielschear556]

I hear Peppy is still running around Greenwich Village.

[@PAKiller1]

I liked all 3 of those bands. Would have been a great concert to go too

[@lauracarroll2596]

I grew up in this era. I remember when this song came on the car radio as my friend and i were cruising Van Nuys Blvd. (ending up at Bob's Big Boy drive-in). We went crazy over this song, and being teenage girls, we were screaming. I had no idea these guys were Chicanos. All these years later I discover this. But you know what? Who cares! It wasn't a big deal back then, nor should it be now. Loved that band and looooved that song.

[@davedawson141]

That's so cool I also cruised the Vanys Boulevard back in the 60s,I went to Ban Nuys high school before going to Vietnam ,and that song was a great one along with many others.👍😎😋

[@davidolien2828]

Love these guys!

[@airshotsphotoco]

Question Mark is rejoining The Mysterians for some upcoming shows and possibly a tour. Details to follow.

[@impalaman9707]

I'm jazzed that he's still going and still has the energy of a 20 year old. There's so many of his generation who have fallen in recent years

[@James_St._James]

I was just in Bay City in September and October and the Mysterians sans Question Mark played a gig at a local place while I was there.

[@karenorr3050]

​@James_St._Jamesi missed the show in Nov. Had tickets but no one to go with. I was going to fly up from FL to see ? Perform. I wonder if he ever will again?

[@GoLions67]

I drank beers with a few of them! Nice guys!

[@davidaaaa4611]

cool !!!!!!

[@esthergarcia1373]

96 Tears has a catchy vibe of its own. Love those “Mick Jagger” moves of ?Mark. I heard John Lennon of the Beatles loved this song as well.

[@Patrick-ow5um]

😟No one called "Q'' mark

[@larryflanagan8799]

Bought their first album, with 96 tears.

[@direccionjuridica1313]

Rudy Rodríguez work still rules. Viva la raza.

“La raza”? I know what it translates to but it means nothing to me. What do you WANT it to mean?

[@candacec2230]

This is cool 😎 odale Viva La Raza

[@broadwaydancer270]

They are alive and well in the Saginaw Michigan area. Just played a show in Saginaw a few weeks ago (August 2023) I speak to Bobby every now and then. Saw Frank at a show in Freeland with Pete Woodman last summer

[@zapdunga12]

A one hit wonder band

[@impalaman9707]

@@zapdunga12 Whenever someone disses a band as a "one hit wonder"--my answer always is--"check out the rest of their stuff. You might find out its better than the one hit!"

[@James_St._James]

I was just up in Bay City in September and October and I asked around heard that they just had a show. I just missed it.

[@broadwaydancer270]

@zapdunga12 oh, but what a wonderful hit it is, iconic

[@jbramblett]

Q pops up on the radio here in mid Michigan every now and then ...does interviews and things.. He's pretty much off the rails now most of the time

[@anthonydilligaf823]

CKLW played the best music growing up.. I feel sorry for people who never knew....

[@dankryskalla8490]

My older brother saw them at the Michigan State Fair, 1966? He mentioned that they were Latinos. Big Sugar Beet Harvest near Saginaw, Michigan every year.

[@tsf5-productions]

Good Grief! I was 15 to 16 when "96 Tears" came out and yes...CKLW OF Detroit/Windsor (Canada) was one of those several AM radio stations I listened to where Question Mark played a lot on those radio stations. Man! How many of us teenagers who formed rock bands in Garage Band style played "96" which, many thought was about s-e-x. Well...as the popular term goes: " I'm just sayin' ". And...I remember seeing "The Mysterians" in the summer of 1957. I was about 7 then and thought the effects of that movie was neat.

[@unbearableunbearable2740]

British band The Stranglers did a good cover of 96 Tears.

[@ventues9751]

Very Good !!!

There's something about a Blockbuster Hit that a Band puts out that seems to engulf them as a 1 hit wonder. Such was the case with this Mich. Band..

Unforgettable, hands down best band I've ever heard! I remember standing in front of Woolworths 1966 in Ohio, counting my change to see if I had enough money to buy my first 45rpm, 96 Tears! Also ? Is the best performer and dancer by far! ❤ Love him!

I agree on the narration. all of this content is word for word from their wikipedia page or maybe the other way around, not sure. The voice is either AI or some doofus.
