Tags Matching: Psychadelic

Blue Cheer was a psychadelic rock band based out of San Francisco in the mid 1960′s. They were active on and off from 1966 all the way to 2009 and released 11 albums, 7 live records, apeared on a bunch of compilations and were even the subject of a tribute record but more often then not they are considered to be a one hit wonder.

It was 1967′s Vincebus Eruptum that featured their ultra heavy psychadelic version of ‘Summertime Blues’ that made their biggest mark and it was all down hill from there.

They are an often overlooked band from that genre and a lot of people that enjoy Cream, Iron Butterfly & The Who even overlook them. I totally recomend you check out Vincebus Eruptum and then decide if you want to check out anything further because if nothing else this record is worth a listen!!
