The Aardvarks
According to the Searchin' For Shakes database there are four garage groups called The Aardvarks.
1) One of the three US groups of this name were from Muskegon and released a few singles in the 60's. Probably their most well-known is the blazing garage-psych tune "I'm Higher Than I'm Down", included on many comps (most notably Pebbles Vol 11).
2) In the mid-80's, a London group called The Aardvarks formed. They released a few singles and one album. The A-side of their first 7" "You're My Loving Way"was compiled on "The Children of Nuggets" box in 2005. Inspired by the best in 60s sounds (Mod, garage, pop-art, psychedelia, freakbeat), London's The Aardvarks were formed in Ealing, West London, as part of the scene which eventually reared Kula Shaker. For many years, they were one of the most popular bands on the Mod and 60's Revival circuit, issuing a string of acclaimed 45s on labels such as Screaming Apple and Detour. The Aardvarks’ 12-year lifespan is remembered on the 'Sinker, Line and Hook - The Anthology 1987-1999' compilation on Cherry Red Records, built around their 1995 album for Delerium, Bargain, plus an equal number of choice tracks from elsewhere. The ‘Varks tasted brief fame in the 90's, appearing on the James Whale TV Show and even supporting Bonnie Tyler! Read more on Last.fm.
