Oldish Psych and Prog

They started rehearsing in San Antonio in 1967 using a temporary name Willowdale Handcar although prior to this Prince, Cox and Fore had played together in Corpus Christi as The New Seeds. The name Bubble Puppy was chosen whilst they were high on acid at a Hendrix Concert flicking over the pages of Aldous Huxley's 'Brave New World'. With their new name they headed for Austin where they played at the now legendary Vulcan Gas Company but after being signed by International Artists they moved on to Houston. Their first 45 reached No. 14 in the U.S. charts in March 1969 and combined hard rock with fresh vocal harmonies. Their album, which actually reached No. 176 in the U.S. Album Charts, was similar in style and, although their three subsequent 45s never achieved the success of the first, they became International Artist's most successful act after the 13th Floor Elevators.

During a tour with Steppenwolf Nick St. Nicholas convinced them to move to California which they did signing to Steppenwolf's ABC/Dunhill label. Here they changed their name to Demian issuing an album in 1971. Later in 1977 they reformed as Sirius. However, the story was not over. They re-emerged in 1987 with a new album which contained new versions of their old classics as well as fresh material but which frankly showed them to be a shadow of their former selves.
