Band / Dust Bin Listening to July in July
Posted by Dave Segal on Sun, Jul 5, 2009 at 6:13 AM
If you haven't yet, now's as good a time as any to get into July, a fantastic '60s psych-pop bands who somehow got left out of the rock canon by the era's cultural gatekeepers. July deserve to be revered as rabidly as any Anglo-American group the Baby Boomers at the major rock magazines have enshrined as lysergic royalty. (I recommend checking out fellow Brits Kaleidoscope, Billy Nichols, and Quintessence, too.) In 2008, Rev-Ola released July's self-titled 1968 album on CD. It's a classic.
There's something about music from psychedelia's first flush that sounds so righteous in the summer. July in July—sometimes the obvious move is the best one to make.

These guys are pretty cool. I got a little bored with the top song, but the second is a little early Pink Floyd-ish.
I love both psychedelic country Kaleidoscope songs from the Zabriske Point soundtrack (Mickey's Tune and Brother Mary), but everything I've found by them on You Tube has been more standard 60s bubble gum psych.
