The Hypstrz were a Garage Rock band that started in the late 1970s by the Batsons and made one of Minnesota's top five LPs of all-time (“Hypstrization” 1980 Voxx Records, reissued on wax a few years ago). Their self-titled 7″ EP from 1979 on Bogus Records was my portal into '60s garage rock, thanks to the mail man at my parents’ house at the time. I had an early version of a boombox in 1980 and had taped Mike Reiter’s copy of the EP onto a cassette.
These are photos from concerts where The Hypstrz played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
