Any Space/Psychedelic Rock players out there?

[HG1180]

I was wondering about the prevalence of 60s style Psychedelic Rock players out there, it’s a style of play that deeply interests me and I just wanted to know if there’s any dirty old hippies out there that still like this stuff and play it

(Bands like Caravan, Kaleidoscope, Etc..)

there are lots of bands still playing and wrting that type of stuff but I don't how many TB members are doing it. TB is very cover band centric and psychadelic rock does not typically mesh with that scene.

Define psychedelic. Caravan, with their Canterbury background, usually gets lumped in with early ‘prog’. Now, while you can endlessly debate what the tipping point between psych and prog might be, psych’s vital era was over with by early ‘68. Then there’s the front end, and ‘freakbeat’(which was more of a British thing). Which Kaleidoscope are you referring to? There was a French/UK band that owed a lot to Syd era Floyd, and then there was the US band that featured David Lindley...while they certainly emerged from psychedelia, they pioneered a type of world music fusion rock, but ultimately few people knew about them. Need more bands, and bass players, as examples. Currently, King Gizzard and Tame Impala get referenced a lot, but my fave is Temples, although they tend to lean toward the freakbeat side of things. For the record, I don’t consider The Dead as being all that ‘psych’ for very long; maybe through Aoxomoxoa, but then they became the proto jam band, and then proto-Americana with Workingman’s and American Beauty.

Not the OP here, and yes, the subject of the thread could use some narrowing down.
I'll just reuse a very apropos post I've just seen in another thread:

Captain Beyond!

Oh, and Hawkwind as well.

What I mean by psychedelic are bands that had an overall spacey, acid/shroom fueled sound. The Kaleidoscope that I’m talking about is the one from London that released the album Tangerine Dream with the song “Sky Children” specifically, and I do agree that King Gizzard has some super psychedelic stuff, “Work This Time” off of Oddments comes to mind, and I would say that prog is closer to something like King Crimson or Yes.

I have a keen interest in Psychedelia and the Canterbury Scene, but I only play it "in the bedroom" - it's difficult to find other players for such a project. Doug Ferguson and especially Richard Sinclair are two early influences of mine. Well, and Tim Bogart of course.

My own compositions tend to be too negative to fall under this umbrella.

It appears that some psychedelic rockers have continued to play but resigned themselves to cover bands. I present for your edification Graham Warwick and the Bona Fide Blues Band with, I have been told, two 13th Floor Elevator members. I shot this at our place a couple weeks ago:

I know this is an old thread, but I just put out this ep earlier this month that would be right up your alley!
