FATHER YOD

and the Spirit of ‘76

KOHOUTEK

Founded in 1969 in the Los Angeles area, Ya Ho Wa 13, otherwise known Yahowha 13.

Fronted by Father Yod, spiritual leader of the religious cult/commune, The Source Family, the band recorded 9 LPs

and demonstrated their extreme psychedelic sound with tribal drums and distorted guitars, all completely unrehearsed

and unedited.

Members of The Source Family, a communal religious group living in the Hollywood Hills in the early 1970s, decided to

fuse their musical talents and spirituality by forming an improvisational, psychedelic music group. They began to make

LPs in 1973, all of which were recorded after hours of meditation at 3-6 AM in a soundproofed garage that served as the

musicians’ studio in the family's communal residence. All of the records with Father Yod’s participation were completely

improvised, with no rehearsals or overdubs.

Most of the albums were small-press runs, with only 500 to 1000 copies made under the Higher Key Records imprint.

They were sold to the general public in Father Yod’s wildly popular vegetarian Source Restaurant....Though only 9 LPs

were produced and released, it is rumored that more than 65 albums were recorded by the group and have since been destroyed.

The band changed members occasionally, morphing into various incarnations from Father Yod & The Spirit of ’76 to YaHoWa 13

to The Savage Sons of YaHoWa, Yodship, and Fire Water Air, but the key players were always the same (Djin Aquarian on guitar,

Octavious Aquarian on drums, and Sunflower Aquarian on bass). Sky Saxon of The Seeds occasionally appears with the band.

NM: virtually no signs of use. Should play like new. / Cover is still  in shrink.

VG++  a couple small only surface lines that shouldn’t affect sound. /Cover almost perfect.

VG+  Some mostly surface lines. If any audible imperfections they should be relatively minimal. Sometimes there will be only visual but no audible imperfections. The cover will be in good shape but there will be some signs of use.

VG   Might have a number of only surface lines or may have a small scratch. Some background sound but  still very enjoyable. In this condition any significant defects  will be noted.
