These groups included The Groovie Goolies, The Hardy Boys, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kids, The Banana Splits (actually live action), The Cattanooga Cats, The Chan Clan, and The Neptunes. Several were also teenaged detectives, taking influence from Scooby Doo. Most of these groups played bubblegum pop. This dates at least as far back as 1965 with The Beatles, but the Archies help to popularize the concept. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, fictional musical groups were common in animation. Finally, in the liner notes for 2008's The Archies Christmas Album, Reggie is listed as the bass guitarist. In more than one comic strip, Reggie is described as playing bass (however, this is not necessarily canon, as storylines and hobbies/activities in the Archie world change from story to story). Six-string bass guitars do exist, however, and the Archies' recordings regularly featured a bass player. However, a number of drawings (including the one above) clearly show the instrument to have four tuning keys, the most common bass design. In most drawings, his guitar looks identical to Archie's, making him the band's second (or co-lead) guitarist. The Archies are sometimes jokingly compared to The Doors, as they also had no bass player, but there is some controversy as to whether Reggie played bass or not. Though the group no longer appears in animation, they are still frequently used in stories published by Archie Comics. An unusual distribution mode for their music was as cardboard records embossed directly onto the backs of breakfast cereal boxes so that the cardboard record could be cut out and played on a turntable (although their music was also available on standard issue LPs and 45s).
Every member sings vocals, with Jughead handling the bass voice on a few tracks. They seem to have a preference for rock and roll, however.īetty Cooper and Veronica Lodge later also joined the group. The Archies play a variety of contemporary popular music, consistent with the era in which the comic is drawn. Their most successful song, "Sugar, Sugar", became one of the biggest hits of the bubblegum pop genre which flourished from 1968 to 1972.
