THE ROCKIN' REBELS - Songs

Surf rock band best known for the killer instrumental "Wild Weekend" (1963). "Wild Weekend" was originally the theme song for the Tom Shannon radio show based in Buffalo, NY. It was reworked as an instrumental by a local band known as the Rebels (later renamed the Buffalo Rebels) and first released on Mar-Lee in 1960. "Wild Weekend" was a local hit and was featured on American Bandstand. Eventually, it got the attention of Swan Records who tracked down Shannon and struck a deal for the master. In early 1963, "Wild Weekend" finally made it to the national charts. Since the original (Buffalo) Rebels had broken up, the various follow-up singles, B-sides, and "Wild Weekend" re-releases (all listed as by the (Rockin') Rebels) were actually recorded by many different sound-alike bands.
