FROM WIKIPEDIA: The Daily Flash are an American folk rock and psychedelic band[1] founded in 1965, active until 1968 and reformed in 2002.[2] originally based in Seattle and later in Los Angeles.[2] The group was composed of guitarist/singer Steve Lalor, lead guitarist Doug Hastings, bass player/singer Don MacAllister and drummer Jon Keliehor. According to Mike Stax, they "had become a major force in the growing Seattle underground scene by 1965." Their sound, which incorporated elements of folk music and jazz as well as rockstood in contrast to the garage rock sound typical of the Pacific Northwest at the time, anticipating the sound that came to be identified with San Francisco.[1]

OriginEdit

Don MacAllister and Steve Lalor first met in early 1964 on the Seattle folk music scene. MacAllister was in a bluegrass trio called The Willow Creek Ramblers; Lalor had dropped out of college in Ohio in January 1963, spent some time in San Francisco where he had met future core members of Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service, then traveled north to Seattle, where he made some good connections and ended up appearing regularly for a time on Seattle Center Hootenanny which aired on KING-TV. At this time he was performing with Alice Stuart and Mike Hall as the Upper University District Folk Music Association and Mandolin Society and Glee Club and they recorded a single, "Green Satin", for Jerden Records. MacAllister and Lalor began to play together informally.[2]

Lalor played for a time in the Driftwood Singers, which he formed with Lyn Brooks and Courtney Branch. Courtney dropped out and was replaced by Billy Roberts, writer of "Hey Joe". They became the house band of the hungry i. The band broke up and MacAllister convinced him to move back north and form a group in Seattle with another guitarist, Doug Hastings, still in college at the time and occasionally sitting in with another local oufit, The Dynamics. They planned to recruit drummer Don Stevenson (later of Moby Grape), but instead Stevenson joined the established local band The Frantics and that band's departing drummer Jon Keliehor (who had a background in jazz and classical music) joined MacAllister and Lalor...

FROM DAILY FLASH WEBSITE: "Around the same time, Don MacAllister and Doug Hastings (who had by this point left Rhinoceros and worked briefly with Pam Polland) reunited in Dr John's support band. During autumn 1969, they embarked on a short US tour, but according to Hastings, MacAllister was soon fired for "encouraging the good doctor's bad habits". "I remember walking in the Fifties in Manhattan with MacAllister the night he was fired," recalls Doug. "I remember we passed a club where Miles Davis was playing - we knew he was playing because his Ferrari GTO with bullet holes was parked outside. Don was really depressed. He felt that he had little to show for all his years in the business - he was 27 years old and couldn't see where he could go". 

Returning to Los Angeles, MacAllister made plans to return to Seattle to see his old friend and former Willow Creek Ramblers member, Paul Gillingham, but overdosed a few days later. As Hastings reveals, "MacAllister's family strongly disapproved of his life and his friends and they retrieved the body and returned to bury him in Seattle, leaving no invitations for his friends."..."
