Identified with the Bosstown Sound (a marketing campaign to promote psychedelic rock and psychedelic pop bands in Boston), it was the only album from the Walpole, Massachusetts band. Members were Caroline Stratton (vocals), Dan Keady (guitar, vocals), Richard Clerici (guitar, vocals), David Amaral (bass), and James Deptula (drums).
Active from 1969-1973, they were relatively obscure among the era’s psychedelic rock sound collective. Stratton and Keady guided the vocal and guitar elements of their acid-rock approach. By the way, the band’s name came from Walt Kelly’s comic “Pogo”.
