They are from Austin, Texas. Same place 13th Floor Elevators and several other good psychedelic bands are from. They are soooooo gooood! :) Just amazing! :) I can't believe more people don't know about them. Janis Joplin also is from Texas and played in Austin a lot man the list could go on and on haha. Anyway thanks for this awesome video of awesome music loving it super much.
Signed to the International Artists label at no less than 13th Floor Elevators' Roky Erickson's behest, they took some flack for being heavily influenced by the Elevators. Get the limited edition Elevators' box "Sign of the 3 Eyed men" to hear what influenced this band. Far out man!
thanks for this post !! One of my favorites lps, a very hard to find here in France ! But I've found it. Texas music at his best. A gem. 20 000 light years from bored today's music...
This is one of the most awesome vid's ever! I love the song and the graphics are great! I rec'd this from Billykid514...if u have not already....visit his site, he's not only talented, but a lot of fun!!

so kids, that was what my mushroom trip was like! not worth it, totally gonna do it again tho! - F#$K YEAH! LIFE MAN LIFE. LIVE IT. LOVE IT. WORK IT BAKE IT ONLY MAKES US STRONG NOW DAT DAT DAT DAT DONT KILL ME CAN ONLY MAKE ME STRONGER... not true.. that is not true Kanye! wait a minute kanye thats not your song hahaha omg your not kanye your a cup! and omg im not tripping on mushrooms, im just an idiot .. "said the fool"
discovered this accidently looking up the occult group, Golden Dawn. This song is ballsy for its time. Vocal reminded me of Roky Erikson. So much unheard music. Gnarly.
Ahhhh, another great psychidelic band from Texas, anyone not familier with the bands from Texas should take the trip, essential listining. So many of these bands were months ahead of what was happening in San Francisco. The Airplane was still playing "folk rock" while the Elevators were blowing minds at the Avalon Ballroom.
It is amazing how mighty this song sounds today, after all these years. A lot of psychedelic rock from that period gets lost in fuzz and experimentalism. This song simply rocks with no pretense. You could possibly release it as a "neo-psychedelia" single today and chart with it.
The guitar in this song is some serious goddam business.
Again, You lucky people that lived back then. I have to live it through you and my late cousin. Living Eye, Catacombs, Love Street Light Circus, etc.... My cousin lived it all and all that is left through him are my memories of the stories he told me. That, and that I'm friends with John Ike. Met him 12 years ago and hung out with him in summer 07 in Kerrville. My cousin saw the Doors in like 68. It was crazy. You lucky bastards. I hope you know what you lived and my generation won't know...
Wow, I finally found it, been looking for it the whole day now: Heard it in a club here in Sweden and loved it so much I decided to record this song on my cellphone. And boy am I glad I did!
I'm Jimmy Bird's other daughter. Femtex there is my sister. We're really proud of my dad and his band and it's far out that they got on YouTube after all this time!
My father was in this group...background guitar and supporting vocals. Everyone in this band was friends with Roky from the 13th Floor Elevators...the name of the group was supposed to be Power Plant, but when it got recorded, the record company messed up the cover and made it look like the name of the band was "The Golden Dawn." So, the name of the album should be The Golden Dawn, and the group name Power Plant.
That was also partly what messed up their fame. They were well known locally, but truth be known, their stuff was recorded before Roky's, but again, the record company jacked things up and it wasn't released until after Roky's came out. What a shame!
Power Plant! Outasite excellent name for a band! Hippie-fied and Hippie-fried! Texas hippies were truly hardcore all-the-way....Hippie Hollow in Austin was a gas-gas-gas! Long live "My Time", glorious music!
Hey Girl, Tommy Ramsey's son Jon Ramsey here. I am posting a cover of " Seeing is Beleiving" on here,my friends called " Hi-Rize" did at the " Texas Psych Tribute ". I thought you might dig it. Have a good one. I sure miss Jimmy!
Totally new to this old hippie and what a fantastic surprise! This song is ecstatically infused with pure Sixties Euphoria. Music and lyrics to set you free. I'll be playing this a lot. Makes ya wanna go out in the sunshine, eat mushrooms, and dance off into the cosmos. Everything old is new again.

That's handy- I found this when looking up The Golden Cups, a great psych band from Japan (their version of Hey Joe is unhinged). This is fantastic.
