Oldish Psych and Prog

Hailed from Indianapolis, Indiana, but recorded on a label based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, by Jim Spencer. This is a superb album of melodic guitar driven rock which blends exquisitely with Marsha's vocals on tracks like J Rider, Up To You, Pick Up And Run and Baby Come Risin, which is probably the album's finest moment. If you like ringing guitar work and harmonic vocals, this album is for you. They've been likened to Jefferson Airplane! They also had a 45 on Flat, which I don't have details of, and a cut on the 1981 compilation Let Them Eat Jellybeans on Faulty Records.

Ron Matelic and John Medvescek had earlier played for Sir Winston and The Commons. The Anonymous album has been reissued by OR records, early in 1997, along with another album No Longer Anonymous recorded by Ron, John and Marsha circa 1979, under the name J.Rider. This was later reissued by OR records as a ltd edition of 375 in 1996 (OR 016)

I am told the band who appear on the Let Them Eat Jellybeans compilation is a different one with the same name. The style of music of the band on the compilation is apparently something like The Residents.
