The Beau Brummels was a successful 1960s American rock band. The group formed in San Francisco in 1963. Their sound was influenced by the Beatles and other British bands of the era. Named after a 19th Century English dandy, they also wore British-influenced “Mod” clothes. As a result of their sound and look they were often mistaken for an English band. The Beau Brummels had three Top 40 hit singles: “Laugh Laugh", “Just A Little” and "You Tell Me Why.” The also recorded several albums. "Laugh, Laugh" is listed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as one of the 500 most influential in shaping rock and roll. Their sound influenced folk rock groups like the Byrds and later San Francisco groups including the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead.

Ronnie Montrose played guitar on the Beau Brummels song "Down To The Bottom".
