Larry Tamblyn, Co-Founder of ‘Dirty Water’ Garage Rockers the Standells Dies at 82
Larry Tamblyn, co-founder of 'Dirty Water' garage rockers the Standells has died at 82 of undisclosed causes.
The Standells were formed in Los Angeles by Tamblyn — who had a brief solo career in the early 1960s — along with guitarist Tony Valentino, bassist Jody Rich and drummer Benny King. “Dirty Water” became the band’s calling card, acting as one of the anchors of both the 1972 Nuggets garage rock compilation as well as a sports anthem for a number of Boston-area professional teams, serving as the victory song at Red Sox, Bruins and Celtics games. In addition to his work with the group, Tamblyn released an autobiography, From Squeaky Clean to Dirty Water: My Life with Sixties Garage Rock Trailblazers the Standells, in 2022.
