The Rookies play the Outsiders @ Primavera Beat

Since Italian garage rockers The Rookies had just released their latest recording, Things Ever Said (Other Eyes Records), naturally the Pavia-Placenza crew wanted to make a splash at this year's Primavera Beat festival in Alessandria. So they decided to encore with a couple of their favourite Nederbeat tunes by The Outsiders. That may not have seemed terribly impressive to the assembled horde of 60s psych afficionados until The Outsiders' co-founding songwriter/guitarist Ronnie Splinter joined them on stage and began ripping in to his familiar intro to Touch. If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of jaws hitting the floor.
