A hard psychedelic rock group, playing in a west coast style with swelling organ and great gnarly lead guitar.
They recorded one album, 'Apryl Fool"[1969]. Some of it's pretty trippy, with one track sounding a little like C.A. Quintet at their weirdest, but arguably better!
Keyboardist Hiro Yanagida later went on to Foodbrain and solo career drummer Takashi Matsumoto and bassist Harumi Hosono went on to the band Happy End. later Harumi Hosono went to Yellow Magic Orchestra.
