[Swamp Gas]

We know 90% of those bands. What a wonderful time for art and music. Here's a few they missed, and I'll add more when I think of them:


Tea Company - Spacey New York based Stone cold psych

The United States of America - joe Byrd and his troupe of Los Angeles based electronic musicians. Very psychoactive.

Earth Opera - Very political Boston based psych band

White Noise - The MOST psychoactive Moog based British unit
