Frumious Bandersnatch - The Studio Outtakes (Reissue) (1967-69/2009)

US-American psychedelic rock band from San Francisco, California, active from 1967 to 1969

If any one group can legimately qualify as the "great lost psychedelic band', then Frumious Bandersnatch is that group. The few tantalizing glimpses of the combo afforded by their solo release in the 1960s gained them an enormous reputation. The subsequent fortunes of its members in groups like Journey and The Steve Miller Band have only added to the phenomenon. The name, derived from Lewis Carroll's proto-psych 'Jabberwocky', has an air of psychedelic mystery to it. So, after years of wishful thinking on the part of psychedelic music aficionados all over the world we find the earnestness of this their latest achievment all the more extraordinary.
