Cold Sun

The Profile

An Austin, Texas group tied to the late-1960s psychedelic scene; founders Bill Miller and Tom McGarrigle recorded sessions in 1969 (Sonobeat) that surfaced decades later as the album Dark Shadows.

Founded in the Austin scene, the band recorded at Sonobeat studios in 1969. The original tapes/acetate remained rare until Rockadelic released them; the Rockadelic pressing was limited to 300 numbered copies.

A DeBaser review celebrates Cold Sun (also tied to the name Dark Shadows) as a late-1960s Austin psychedelic act whose 1969 Sonobeat sessions capture lysergic, desert-tinged rock that foreshadows stoner elements. The album Dark Shadows was issued by Rockadelic in a limited pressing.
