Soul-psych -bändi. Harvinainen. Kannen liimaukset pettäneet. Levy.

US early 1970s rock and soul band. Bay Area: Berkeley / San Francisco based, they existed summer 1971 to summer 1972. Their music was a typical Columbia jazz/rock/soul/pop hybrid, clearly inspired by Blood Sweat & Tears, but with a touch more funk. The line-up consisted of bassist Kelly Bryan, rhythm guitarist Slim Chance (aka Austin De Leon), former Country Joe and the Fish/Mad River drummer Greg Dewey (aka Dewey DeGrease), singer Anna Rizzo, lead guitarist Vic Smith and keyboard player Richard Sussman (who had previously played with Elephant's Memory). They released only an album in 1971 produced by Marty Balin of The Jefferson Airplane/Starship's fame.
