In 1966 amid a flurry of feedback, tremolo and fuzz the Electric Prunes emerged from the confines of their Los Angeles garage onto the world stage. Their hit singles and albums, including “I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night”, recognized as one of the first psychedelic hit records, heralded a transition in music and its presentation. One magazine article referred to the Electric Prunes as, “the seminal philosophers of punk rock” and Mojo recently named the band “Essential Cult Heroes”.
The same guys who helped create the garage rock/psychedelic genre are alive and well and making music. With three of the original band members involved they continue to create innovate and eclectic music (as evidenced the new CD “Feedback”) both on CD as well as in concert. And you’re getting original members, not a tepid imitation of what the band used to be.
The current incarnation is not an attempt to recreate a musical past or some tired oldies show. Instead it is the past, in the present form, alive and rocking. The new music is quirky, electric, brash and edgy. An Electric Prunes live performance combines the visual stimulation of a swirling light show; the olfactory sensation of burning incense; and the auditory onslaught of whirring, churning and vibrating music - A true sensory experience. The Electric Prunes…lust in a long line.

About The Era
The psychedelic rock of the mid-1960's emerged from the budding interest in Eastern cultures, combined with the folk movement that was already in full swing in San Francisco, California. Bands such as Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane came out of the Bay Area and gained national attention for their new style of rock music. Other bands followed, such as Donovan and Big Brother and the Holding Company, singing about social issues fueled by growing opposition to the Vietnam War. As this genre of music gained popularity, the counter-culture in San Francisco, also known as "hippies," grew, culminating in the Summer of Love in 1967. Two years later, the free love movement and the music that inspired it had spread to the east coast. The Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, held in upstate New York, launched the careers of several "flower power" artists, and catapulted others to a rock-star status that still lingers today.
