ESB - Mushroom People
This group of hipsters from Hollywood went from having one of the longest names in pop (ie) The W.C. Fields Memorial Electric String Band to probably the shortest ESB.
The band were formed out of the ashes of two local acts that promised much but went to nowheresville. George Caldwell and Robert Zinner were in The Bees. Richard Fortunato and Steve Lagana were in The Preachers. Bass player Patrick Burke may have been in a later line up of The Preachers.
'Mushroom People' is in effect their third release but one of the first on the newly formed Hollywood label In Arts Records who also had The Good Time Singers and Smart & Cole Inc on their books. The song is pretty cool with the odd 'mary jane' lyrical reference indicating pot of course. It's a strange psychedelic affair, starting out all mellow and hip then suddenly bursting into a faster rhythmn, culminating in a Who like wig out.
'Let Me Touch You' is a slow and brooding psych nugget.
