Some Obscure Psychedelic Bands

Does anyone remember SRC?("The Angel Song" Great tune!). Then there was Chocolate Watchband, Moby Grape, Fever Tree, Ultimate Spinach and many others. Recall anymore?(I mean, that were more out of the mainstream.)

 

There are hundreds of obscure and semi-obscure psychedelic bands from the 1960's. If you want to hear them, check out the compilations listed in the thread about '60s compilations. You'll find all kinds of cool little gems in those collections.

 

allmusic.com is the best place to find info on any obscure band. how else would i get info on such great bands as:

? and the Mysterians
The Pretty Things

The Clique

The Eyes
John's Children
Strawberry Alarm Clock
The Action
The Creation
The Smoke

 

Spirit is not a obscure band but they seldom are mention here in this forums since most of the people here were not even born "20/30 years ago" . of course and a bunch of others.

 

That's completely irrelevant. Visitors to this forum, most of who were not born "20/30 years ago," listen to a great deal of psych and garage that is more obscure than the likes of Spirit. When you were born means nothing.

 

dont worry about him, hes just that one guy that was banned before, spliffvortex or whatever.

 

how on earth is strawberry alarm clock an obscure band??

dont forget bubble puppy and the monkees!

 

yOU MEAN YOU NEVER BEEN BAN BEFORE = what a freaking wimp.

 

He should have made his name "El Douche" instead of "El Duce."

 

Thanks!

 

John's Children, featuring Marc Bolan who later formed T-Rex, right? I do remember them. And the Pretty Things and of course, Strawberry Alarm Clock. I was also a huge fan of The Incredible String Band, who, ironically, received a cold reception at Woodstock.

 

My kids are in their teens and they love Spirit! I saw them only once in 1973,but they were great. Sad news about Randy California last year.

 

Yes! Bubble Puppy.."Smoke and Sassafras?" (I do get an occasional flashback.) LOL

 

gosh, you suck so much. .

and no, amazingly, i've yet to ever be banned. :sunglasse

 

Of all the obscurities my friends and I have mined, the greatest obscurity that I've heard is the Axe album from the UK band of the same name from 1969. Floyd meets acid folk in a lonely, hanted English village with stunning distorted guitar. Other greats include Music Emporium, Freeborne - Peak Impressions, Gypsy - In The Garden and too many others to mention.

 

yeah there really are so many great bands. some american bands are fairly obscure to australians but had big hits in America, and vice versa.

 

electric prunes are good

 

Suprised no one mention the "13th Floor Elevators",

 

A good psychedelic band from the early 90's is RED TEMPLE SPIRITS. Kinda influenced by early Pink Floyd, 13th Floor Elevators, Tibet, and Black Sabbath.
