BOOGIE In Freak Town

 Out-Sider Music

Fantastic trio, straight from San Fransisco, consisting of Barry "The Bee" Bastian (Canned Heat, Lee Michaels ...) on guitar/vocals; John Barrett (The Rhythm Dukes) on bass and Fuzzy John Oxendine (Roky Erickson & The Aliens, Jerry Miller Band ...) on drums. Having played gigs with bands such as Quicksilver, Flamin ’Groovies and Country Joe & The Fish, among others, they recorded a demo in 1968. However, their involvement with drugs didn't give them the joy of releasing something at the time. So, in 2022 this demo plus some live, are released for the first time on vinyl, giving us the opportunity to enjoy a band from California sounding like Blur Cheer, like Cream or like The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Rock 'n' roll sound, guitar, bass, drums, amazing cover of Wade In The Water, psychedelic/blues sound in the 13 minute Prelude To Boogie, an inconceivable track In Freak Town and generally a great album for those who collect such lost gems.
