The Pypo club was located one block north of Broadway in the middle of Seaside.  The building was an Electrical Co. for years afterwards. It was owned by the same people that owned "ONEY'S" Restaurant on Highway 26.

The Club featured mostly Surf bands as it was about two or three blocks from the beach, but also had Paul Revere, The Wailers, etc.   There were a lot of tourists, so they didn't advertise much. I played at the Pypo with Big G & the Cheerios in about '64 and the only souveneir I could find was a napkin.
