      Both albums from 1969 and 1970 by this great US band who released their recordings on the same label as Electric Toilet. The first album features a cover Moby Grape's "Omaha" and a set of heavy keyboard driven psychedelic blues and inflected rock whilst the second features long jamming tracks with spacious instrumental parts swamped in keyboards and distorted guitar overload. It also includes a cover version of a Saint Steven track! Rare as hell as originals.

      From Cincinnati, Ohio, this outfit used to gig frequently with Westfauster and played a heavy, very keyboard-dominated blend of music. Their albums have distinct psychedelic influences. Both albums are sought-after by collectors.

      Lenny LeBlanc went on to become a successful Christian music artist, whilst Mike Wheeler who played with the band in their last two years, went on to work with Grammy winning Nashville songwriter Mike Reid. Wheeler also led an act called Wheels, who recorded on Boardwalk, with an album produced by Craig Fuller, and who toured with Little Feat in '78. He's also worked more recently with Paul Barrere.
