I had the pleasure of opening for SA twice in the last 10 years. Simeon was a lovely, humble bloke and he even told me he loved my stuff which was so much of a compliment for me that i didn't believe it lol. He used to have all these amazing modular synths onstage and I only ever used my shitty little drum machine and an old Yamaha PSR 3 amongst other things. I couldn't believe a guy like Simeon would compliment a young noob like me, but that was just the kind of guy he was. He encouraged people and saw things in their art that they weren't able to see in themselves. I remember the last show I did with them in Stereo in Glasgow, and one of my mates was backstage and managed to get an interview with Simeon for The Wire magazine I believe. They talked for an hour while I got high and drank beer. Simeon seemed really tired. When it came time to leave we walked him up to their transport and said our goodbyes. As they drove off my friend turned to me and said "I bet thats the last time we see him" and he was right. SA were a huge inspiration for me growing up. I remember discovering them in a record store (remember them?!) when i was a teen and the internet was in its infancy. It absolutely melted my melon when i found out it was from the 60s. Ill never forget excitedly throwing the record on for my friends while we sat in the dark smoking hashish. SA moved everyone i showed it to, some people were like "wtf is this?!" and others just melted into the sound. I think in another 50 years we will see just how inspirational Simeon and co were truly. Simeon and SA are the reason I continue to make time for music well into my 30s. The reason I still enjoy the deep diving into experimentation. Not to mention, putting anything from that SA record on a DJ set or my wee radio show always pricks someone who hasn't heard it before's ears up. Long live Simeon, and long live Silver Apples!

The band that Simeon and Danny Taylor left was called The Random Concept, which had been based in the northwest corner of Connecticut, where I was living in the late nineties. Their guitarist was Jake Bell, who was part of a circle of friends with my girlfriend and me at the time. In 1996 one of those friends was in New York and saw a delivery truck that said 'The Random Concept' on the side. She ran up to the driver in the truck and asked, "Are you Simeon?" and he said yes. She told him how huge the Silver Apples had become and then he started his own label, Whirlybird, to release new and old Silver Apples recordings, and music related to the band. He and Jake then met up again after many years, and in 1998 Jake released an album of his own music on the label. I was the coproducer of that album and cowrote and performed on that record, and the whole experience was absolutely surreal. Jake recruited another former bandmate to join us on the record on drums. It was Gary Higgins, who had recorded and released his cult classic, solo album, 'Red Hash' in 1973. What were the chances? It really was a magical time. Thank you Simeon. For all the brilliant music, and art, and connections, and memories.

Bro these guys basically had a vip connection with every 60s musician that I love 😂

This is superb. Absolutely love it. Music crosses all boundaries. Thanks for posting

Fascinating story well told. I really respect the research and editing you've put into this. Will have to bookmark for the references!

I first heard Silver Apples playing over the sound system in a now defunct rock bar and was blown away when the owner told me the album was from the late 60s. Absolutely mental how ahead of their time they were

Got to meet the Simean in 1998 when he played in Portland. We took a picture and he gave me a copy of his new album, since I was too young to get in to the club. I was 18.

This is amazing, thank you so much for the video! Silver Apples have been added to my headphones playlist.

Thank you for this little gem. I love unbeknownst music data. Your instinct to follow this thought through is appreciated. Prodution and research are strong.good job.

“Rather than perform with a new drummer, Simeon decided to sample all of his drum parts.” I’m not crying, *Youre crying*

Look up Raymond Scott. He was largely considered a jazz musician, and his piece, Powerhouse, is famously sampled by Carl Stalling in the Looney Tunes cartoons. However, his experimental work using early, archaic electronic instruments, is certainly way, way ahead of its time.

Jim actually "predicted" music would be more electronic in the future rather than actual traditional voices and instruments. I'm not really a huge fan of it myself I like a classic rock sound still. Just as I would prefer seeing a live gig rather than just dance at a disco with some dj.

My mind has been expanded. Thank you for this post.

Smoke one, then listen to SA!

I supported SA last time he was in town a few years ago. He is super old now but is still out there playing shows with his cool AF semi modular setup. Im just a lowly electronic weirdo myself, but simeon was the nicest, most supportive guy of his calibre that ive met in music, next to the dude from Faust, who I also opened for, who gave me a t shirt and smoked some of my weed. It's gonna be a sad day when Simeon leaves us, but I think he's got a lot more left in him yet.

I saw A24’s movie Civil War today and GASPED as I heard Lovefingers by Silver Apples playing in a scene, really fitting and kinda unnerving. Crazy small world!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for this wonderful and informative video!

Is this the same band that my friend showed me 20 years ago? I thought they were called 'Apple' and could never find any evidence of them existing due to the computer company of the same name. He said they were one of the first to use electronic stuff.... back in the day. At any rate, good vid!

I'm realizing what a different time it was in 1968 vs 1978. The music industry hated controversy. Getting busted with weed was a death sentence. Zappa had his career put on pause because of an obscenity charge. Rick James was blacklisted because of his draft dodger status. But then, a decade later, you get the Sex Pistols and suddenly all press is good press.

(pun intended) Can you imagine if the front cover was a Starbucks shop and the back cover was the remains of the same shop blown up by a bomb? They'd have the same reaction and be rightfully pissed. It was a terrible attempt at being edgy and resulted in only cringe.

"The most important band you've never heard of..."

They went into the studio to record an album and the engineer was so afraid of one of their musical instruments? Are you saying actual fear kept this man out of the studio?
