Re: Psychedelic, Acid, Garage, Bands.
Aah! Lots of memories coming back!
I like Captain Beefheart, I would think that a soundalike band could become quite popular now
I also like soft Machine
A local pub has bands on at weekends, everything from blues to heavy metal to more modern stuff. I mentioned to one band which was doing Cream, The Doors etc that they might try a Captain Beefheart number. The singer said he'd consider it 'but first I'll have to get a top hat'.
I saw Hatfield and the North supported by Lol Coxhill and Steven Miller in Manchester; Caravan supported by Kevin Coyne at the Free Trade Hall; my school booked Principal Edwards Magic Theatre for a school party.
Unfortunately I was just a bit too young to go to those two (in)famous Manchester clubs, The Twisted Wheel and The Heaven and Hell
Finally, while we're name dropping, my favourite guitarist is Michael Chapman, I've seen him several times.
