Minky Records is proud to announce the re-release of The Mixtures'
"Stompin' At The Rainbow," a live album recorded by a young Wally Heider
of this extraordinary, multi-racial (Black, Asian, Native American, Latino
and Causcasian!) rock 'n' roll band and their only long playing release.
It all happened at the Rainbow Gardens in 1960s Pomona as The Mixtures,
mighty kings of the West Coast's Eastside dance hall scene, rocked and
ruled the house.
As the movement for integration that began in Mississippi and Alabama was
taking shape nationwide, it was not only the South that was segregated. In
the Southern California of the '50s, non-white races were more allied,
though it was rare you'd find them mixed in a band. As the dawn broke on
rock 'n' roll, this six-man party band-at different times comprised of
African-Americans, Latinos, Asians, Caucasians, and a Native American-made
history.

Thank you SO much for posting this! My uncle was a member of The Mixtures-his birthday is coming up in November and his children and I have been looking for any recordings we could find when I came across your post. He is going to be very happy to learn that his music will be heard again. THANK YOU!
