With
co-founding member Anshu Asthana (currently a London based freelance
designer), and exploding from a fluctuating free-lifestyle awash with
entheogens, the band crafted their sound based upon their love of far
out 60s psychedelia, contemporary psych-miscreants, mycology, and
studio trickery. Gigs i

This
is another long OOP Lp from Voxx, that never reissued. Recorded in
Albuquerque, New Mexico and released in 1985 from Voxx (and Lolita in
Europe). The band (never seen performing live, as mentioned in "Knights
of Fuzz") maybe had the "curse of Voxx" i.e disbanding right after the
release of their album, or maybe was an one-off only project.
The
album kicks off with "Fly Tonight", a crazed garage track, followed by
the 6 minute-long title track, which speeds up and slowes down,
complete with an eastern scale solo from the Vox organ of the leader
Bob Fountain. The highlight is "She's so wild", another
speeding-slowing track, with a superb guitar-organ dialogue. The speedy
instrumental "Go-Go 85" closes the a-side.

Kings of Oblivion - Gotta Love Me/Only You To Blame/No Way To Be (Dionysus ID-074510) For the end here's some wild garage rock from Kings of Oblivion, a band from Los Angeles which appears on Dionysus site as "Detroit '68 meets LA '77". Their sound on this 1990 single reminds me of Jeff Dahl or the Lazy Cowgirls. Kings of Oblivion had some success (in Europe mainly), but now they've sank in oblivion.
Light hippie folkrock with great male/female harmonies, strong tracks and a general uplifting quality about it. Pressed in Canada but the group was from Marin County and had help from David Crosby , who even on coke knew good music when he heard it.
Although this album was pressed in Canada and lists no home base for the group on the cover, it is known that they were based in Marin County. The album, which is pop rock

This record asks a post in my friend's Mystery Poster style: just the cover, the title and the link. But I'm afraid that even if the curius listener search for it, there's nothing to find. You see this LP released in Greece only, on Nate Starkman & Son Greece, in a limited edition of 500 numbered copies, and I don't know if anyone noticed it. The record came with an insert in the Indepented Project Records style (only this was in black with silver letters). As for the band, the only things I can tell you are these: they were a quartet from California and they may have sort of relation with Indepented Record/Nate Starman & Son chief Bruce Licher. Some of the tracks of this self-produced album released as an EP in the U.S., I presume in equaly limited quantity.

One of Texas' most revered psych bands, The Mike Gunn spent its 5 years of life keeping the forces that threatened to pull it apart at bay. Finally, with the mysterious disappearance of its beloved drummer, in 1994 the band relented to the inevitable chaos that threatened to consume it for so long. Born on the ashes of the legendary Houston Schlong Weasel, it included John Cramer (vocals, guitar), Tom Carter (vocals, guitar), Scott Grimm (bass), Curt Mackey (drums). Mike Gunn is the name of the Schlong Weasel musician who named the band but never played in it. The Mike Gunn put out a handful of now-hard-to-find releases, then broke up. Afterwards the former members went on to found DunLavy, Charalambides, Project Grimm, and are peripherally connected to the Linus Pauling Quartet. All are Texas-based psych bands of various styles. However, IMHO none have reached the

Aching Void - Swirling Colors/Voices (Rockadelic RR-106) Aching Void were a trio, possibly from N.Y. This single, released around 1989, on the cult Rockadelic label, is full of fuzz, that creeps in your brain. Here's the Lama review: The titles and band name promise some pretty hardcore neo-psych, and the A-side single delivers, from the heavily reverbed bass riffs to the incessant, spastic lead guitar to the sound effects on the vocals to the absurd scream that ends the verses. There’s a scattershot feel to this one, and it comes off as a random burst of wacked-out energy. The B-side is a bit slower, but has the same spaced out, crude feel to it (at one point it seems like the bass player or the drummer misses a cue), and plenty more of the fuzz guitar. Fun, indeed.
