Newburgh, New York psych-punks the Jelly Bean Bandits formed in 1966.
Singer Billy Donald, guitarist Jack Dougherty, bassist Fred Buck, keyboardist Michael "Mr. Addams" Raab,
and drummer Joe "Laredo London" Scalfari originally operated as "the Mirror",
regularly packing area nightspots like the local Trade Winds, Poughkeepsie's Buccaneer Nightclub,
and Burlington, Vermont's Red Dog. In due time, they recorded a three-song demo reel
that resulted in a three-album recording contract with Mainstream Records...(AllMusic)
Hailing from New York State with one of Mainstream's better albums came the Jelly Bean Bandits.
More punk than psychedelic it includes some searing guitar and good effects.
The album contains the classic, Generation, which was arguably their finest moment with
a bizarre intro about flying saucers giving way to a driving assault on the senses with searing guitar,
powerful vocals and sound effects.Little is known about the band, who were originally known
as The Mirror, but they managed to score a three-album deal with Mainstream on the basis
of three demo tracks. Unbeknown to label boss Bob Shad, these were the only songs the band
had written and a week-long marathon song-writing session ensued, before they were whisked
into the cavernous Columbia Studio "A" to record the album in a generous twelve hours stretch.
Mainstream pulled the plug before the band could start on their second album, although a demo
for one track, Salesmen was recorded, and the other material written back in '68 may yet see the light...
the band are still in touch and have released a second album in the same style & manner
as they had intended to do thirty years ago... "look to the skies...
the flying saucers will always be there!" ...(FuzzAcid&Flowers)
