I am now 63 but in 1966, I had the pleasure of seeing them at a club in Riverside Calif, where they were introduced by none other than the immortal Brit John Peel ! To this day, I can honestly tell you never have a listened to a better band. Riverside produced several great bands during the same time that while not nearly as good as this band they certainly had their musical moments, these being "The Light", look for their great rocker "Back-Up" and the "Bush" who had "Feeling Sad And Lonely". Enjoy.

I discovered this great band a year ago when I heard the song "Children of the Sun" on youtube...Looked for an album and found it...Man, what a great band this is..Respect to the Misunderstood, whereever they are...
AN AMAZING BAND THAT DONT GET THE CREDIT THEY DESERVE
Awesome song!!!
According to Wikipedia this band is known for having pioneered the live light show. Campbell initially soldered a guitar jack to a car light bulb and plugged this into the extension output behind each amp. This simple idea produced visual music, as the response between the guitars and the lights plugged into the amps was identical. They first showed this feature at the Hi Ho Club in Riverside in early 1966. They also played with lights at the Marquee Club in London in mid 1966. Unfortunately by the time expanded light shows offering colored lights occurred the band had already broke up. Sonic and Psychedelic pioneers these guys were during their brief existence.
I love this song
