New Fifty Foot Hose CD!



http://anthologyrecordings.com/release.asp?album=FOgIMVzZlkK

Recorded: live on March 16, 2003 at the Beta Lounge in San Francisco

In 1967, San Francisco’s Fifty Foot Hose were certainly one of the innovators of a sound that took Psychedelia to new heights and was captured on the band’s one record, Cauldron. They are a totally unique hybrid—on one hand pulsating bay area acid rock, on the other, fractured electronic freakery, becoming one whole cohesive being. The sci-fi-ish video game-like artwork hinted at the sounds within, as did the Limelight label’s pedigree for truly progressive sounds. Band leader, Cork Marcheschi, used homemade electronic devices to create crude and experimental soundscapes and instrumental compositions that were sprinkled throughout the album.

Often starting shows with a swelling rumble that exploded into the first song, they soon developed a rabid following on the SF scene, though there was the occasional totally wrong gig, like when a very-pregnant Nancy had to perform at a Catholic Girls’ school! Still, the group wowed the crowds, performing with greats like Chuck Berry and Fairport Convention.

Ev'rywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy

'Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy

But what can a poor boy do

Except to sing for a rock'n'roll band

'Cause in sleepy London town

There's just no place for a street fighting man

No

New Podcast: MUSHROOM - UNDER COVERS

Listen to it at: www.earcandyarchive.com

or via the player at www.myspace.com/earcandyarchive.com

MUSHROOM: UNDER COVERS

Performances by the Oakland-based psych/funk/experimental rock collective, Mushroom, are usually improvisational in nature. That's way this podcast is particularly noteworthy. Compiled by bandleader/drummer, Pat Thomas, especially for Earcandy Archives, it showcases the band performing songs by John Lennon, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Traffic and a wonderful homage called "Hats Off To Bert Jansch". Enjoy this special treat.
