The Beau Brummels, a San Francisco combo led by singer/guitarists Ron Elliott and Sal Valentino, were a somewhat calculated attempt to create a U.S. version of a British Invasion band, from their ever so English name to the cunning way that "Beau Brummels" would come right after "Beatles" in a record store's racks. To their credit, the ways in which the band didn't get the British Invasion feel quite right were their saving grace. By adding a slightly more garagey sound, thanks to Sylvester Stewart's rough-edged production, and a strong folk influence in Elliott and Valentino's jangly 12-string guitars, the band created the blueprint for west coast rock in the Nuggets era. The singles "Laugh Laugh" and "Just A Little" were tremendous influences not only on the Byrds but seemingly dozens of other California bands which themselves later inspired hundreds of other jangle-pop groups around the world.
