Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
An historically significant outfit from Sacramento, California. They included Gary Yoder (later of Kak and Blue Cheer) and gigged regularly as support to bands like The Grateful Dead. Jim Keylor was in some groups with Bob Segarini after Family Tree and in the embryonic Roxy. He was also involved in assembling Blue Cheer for their Oh! Pleasant Hope album and in 1978 started BSU studios whose products included Dead Kennedys, Suspects and True West. Patten also went on to play for Kak.
What of their music? The recent Big Beat retrospective shows a band that was pushing back the barriers of psychedelia in much the same way as The Yardbirds were, and who should have gone on to better and bigger things in their own right. It includes fourteen live tracks, plus four studio cuts including both sides of their exceptional 45. Also included are a detailed history of the band. Donnie Jupiter of the cult seventies psych/punk band The Twinkeyz recalls: "The first time I saw them I was blown away - they looked cooler than hell with their long hair, hippie beads and somewhat surly attitude. Their drummer, Paul Whaley, nailed his kit to the floor with screwdrivers and flailed away like a madman through the whole set. When they were finished playing his hands were bleeding." The Big Beat CD is probably the next best thing to having been there and comes highly recommended.
World United Records was owned by fellow Sacramento-based band The New Breed who had set up the label when they were dropped by Mercury. ~ (Ben Sandstrom/Vernon Joynson/Max Waller)
