The United States Of America were the brainchild of Joseph Byrd, who in the early 60's, drawn by the avant-garde in New York, became a part of the Fluxus movement and studied with John Cage. He went then to the westcoast to study at UCLA where he met the musicians that would form The United States Of America. In 1965 Byrd realized a series of concerts with fundings from UCLA that combined avant-garde, performance art, ethno-music and rock and that would inspire him to form The United States Of America in 1967. In December of 1967 the band recorded their first and only self-titled record, that presented a mix of avant-garde, choral music, electronic music and psychedelic rock, combined with left-wing lyrics. In contrast to most of the guitar-based rockbands at that time they used strings, keyboards (early synthesizers), electronics,and various audio processors like the ring modulator. After the release of the record in 1968 the band undertook an US tour, but due to personal problems disbanded the same year. Joseph Byrd went on to form Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies, who released an LP, The American Metaphysical Circus, in 1969.  ===Martin Horst===
