Zoot’s Debut In Pink
Beeb Birtles: “September 3, 1968, ZOOT made their pink début at Berties, a popular discotheque in Melbourne, Australia, which started a teen craze with fans.”
Ted Higgins (Zoot Drummer): “Tony Knight (Zoot Co-Manager) decided he wanted to mould a theme. So there were a lot of invitations printed in the shape of big pink hearts with bows on them. Go – Set magazine did a publicity blurb. We went into hiding for a month, without anybody knowing anything. Of course, my mum read it and panicked because she hadn’t heard from me and she couldn’t get in touch with me. They mentioned that all our equipment was smashed and that Tony Knight had replaced it all with pink gear and a pink car with Zoot on it. So the theme ‘Think Pink’ was starting to happen. The night we were opening in Bertie’s, the whole place was done out in pink – pink balloons, pink streamers, and everybody had pink suits on. We had been rehearsing seven nights a week to that particular night.”
