Fever Tree - San Fransisco Girls (random play)
Willekeurig nummer uit mijn Playlist (4465items,283 uur muziek)Commercieel was de band niet echt succesvol,maar kreeg toch een zeker bekendheid met onderstaand nummer.
Een voorloper voor de latere progrockbands,
Although a Texas, USA-based act, Fever Tree made its mark with a tribute
to the Summer of Love's host city with their 1968 anthem "San Francisco
Girls (Return Of The Native)". Comprising Rob Landes (keyboards),
Dennis Keller (vocals), E.E. Wolfe (bass), John Tuttle (drums) and
Michael Knust (guitar), the psychedelic band formed in Houston, Texas,
in the mid-60s as Bostwick Vine. The name change came in 1967 and the
band subsequently signed with the Chicago-based Mainstream Records. Two
unsuccessful singles were recorded, and the unit then signed to Uni
Records, and recorded their self-titled debut album in 1968. "San
Francisco Girls (Return Of The Native)" was penned by Vivian Holtzman,
one of the band's producers. Although only a minor chart hit, it
received much airplay on the new USA FM rock stations and on John Peel's
Top Gear radio programme in the UK. Fever Tree recorded four albums,
three of which charted in the USA, before splitting up in 1970. Interest
in the band was renewed in the mid-80s psychedelic revival, and
compilation albums were issued in both the USA and UK.
