The "Headless Horseman" was a small Teen Club on Park ave between Salmon & Taylor streets in Portland. It was operated by promoter Olin Clark and for awhile featured a small balcony stage above a stairway. The whole place was painted black and there were two floors on which you could dance or watch the bands from the balcony. The stage was so small that bands had to mix and share the same gear.Olin Clark also had a TV show called "Battle of the Beat', featuring two live local bands each week and a taped 'guest star' .The show was sponsored by Mayflower Milk on KOIN 6. Votes were by postcard, and my band ,"THE HAPPIE", made it to the quarterfinals.

The Headless Horseman was a main venue for middle 60's Portland bands. The manager of record was Olin Clark..but...the real boss was Jack Matlack. A Portland business man. Bands that played that venue were: The Bent Scepters...The Tiki's and the Fabulons...and...The Epic's (Or.).
