The Raisins
« on: April 22, 2017, 12:01:55 PM »
Bumped into this today and was instantly hooked. A fantastic song, reminds me of Max Webster somehow.


Great players and as I did some research I found that they did evolve into The Bears and Psychodots. One album released in 1983, produced by Adrian Belew who was also a member of The Bears. Gotta get the album but this whole show would be nice too. Their version of "Avening Annie" (Andy Pratt's song) is brilliantly played and on the whole the band reminds me of NRBQ. Not as rootsy but they seem to share the same qualities: the humour, the musicianship, the eclectism.

I love psychodots!  They still do an annual show for Thanksgiving.

Bob Nyswonger posted an mp3 of the Psychodots' Copy Machine at the Pit about 10-11 years ago. Always makes me smile.
