One of the first and longest lived garage bands formed in ’56 in Georgia, USA. They were known as The Night Shadows, Night Shadow, Little Phil & The Night Shadows and went through various lineup changes. Their best and most famous recordings dates from ’66 -’68 when they were fronted by Little Phil and released the classic single ’67 garage rocker ”60 Second Swinger” and legendary ’68 LP ”The Square Root of Two”.
