The Satyrs: Don’t Be Surprised
The Satyrs: Don’t Be Surprised (Wal-Mor)
Without teen hysteria the world would be a poorer place. Check out a sublime example at the 1:15 mark… The plaintive vocal pushes the song into classic territory for me. I’ve been unable to learn anything at all about this garage rocker from Asheville, Any information appreciated!

Hey, this is actually my father’s band from back in the sixties! I had no idea that there were even any recordings of the Satyrs… until now.
My dad’s name is Bucky Hanks, and he was a rocker back in his youth (as was I). I believe he played bass guitar in this group, and funny enough, now we both play bluegrass in a group together called Runners of the Green Laurel, where he is featured on the 5-string banjo.
Bucky, in addition to being a very influential musician in Western North Carolina, is also an Episcopal Priest… amazing that he was in one of Asheville NC’s seminal rock groups back in the day too!
