The Electric Prunes

The Profile

American psychedelic/garage rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, best known for the hit single I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night) and the ambitious liturgical-psychedelic albums Mass in F Minor and Release of an Oath.

Formed in Los Angeles in 1965; achieved a U.S. hit with I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night) (1966). Worked with producer Dave Hassinger and arranger David Axelrod on Mass in F Minor and Release of an Oath. The track Kyrie Eleison appears on the Easy Rider soundtrack. Reformed in 1999 and released new albums including Artifact (2001), California (2004), and Feedback (2006).

Three glowing reviews celebrate The Electric Prunes’ fuzzed-out magic: the studio ambition of Underground, the liturgical-psychedelic shock of Mass in F Minor, and the raw live fire of Stockholm ’67. Critics hail their garage punch, psychedelic textures, and historic impact. References to Easy Rider and the 1967 scene frame their legacy. Overall vibe: unmissable artifacts from American psychedelia.
