Encyclopedia > Davie Allan

Davie Allan was a 1960s surf guitarist-musician, specializing in [[surf rock]] and psychedelic music, used in numerous teen and biker movies. Their first hit was "Apache '65", written by Jerry Lordan, and their biggest hit was "Blues Theme", written by Mike Curb, (President of Tower Records, and chief sponsor and champion of Davie Allan's career from 1964-1971), from The Wild Angels soundtrack in 1967 (see 1967 in music). Psychedelic music is a musical genre inspired by or attempting to replicate the mind-altering experience of drugs such as cannabis, psilocybin, mescaline, and especially LSD. It is not rigorously defined, and is sometimes interpreted to include everything from Acid Rock and Flower Power music to Hard Rock. ... Teen film is a film genre in which the plot is based upon interests targeted at a teenager, such as gross-out parts and sexual themes involving teens. ... Although the term refers to any motorcycle enthusiast, sometimes the word biker is used to mean an outlaw biker, or bikie, who is a member of a 1%er or outlaw motorcycle gang. ... This page is a candidate for speedy deletion, because: it is patent nonsense. ... 1967 (MCMLXVII) was a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Allan has spent the last several decades in a largely unsuccessful effort to revive his career, but has met with less-than-hoped-for success. Although Allan's recent CD, "Restless in L.A.", (released in 2003), met with some favorable critical response, audiences and DJ's continue to prefer Allan's 1960's recordings. "Fuzz For The Holidays", the album of Christmas music promised by Allan for the past several years, was released in 2005, but so far, sales of the CD are lagging behind the 40-year old "The Ventures Christmas Album", first released in 1965.
