Dara Puspita (Flower Girls) has been called the best girl band of all time. Hailing from Indonesia in the late 1960s, they played solid garage rock with a Beatles/ Beach Boys sound. The ladies played all of the instruments, which was a very big deal in the 60's (and a rarity now). During a time when the Indonesian President labeled Western rock music “a form of mental disease,” the band was interrogated by the government for a month for playing "illegal rock music." These ladies were true rebels. Their music is the perfect soundtrack to let loose, so get a little raucous now.
Here's a listen: "When You Love Somebody" (Beegees cover)
"Believe Me"
