Bubble Puppy - Lonely (US 1969)

Album: A Gathering Of Promises (1969)

Bubble Puppy was a Texan psychedelic rock band, formed in 1966 in San Antonio, Texas by Rod Prince and Roy Cox. Looking to form a "top gun rock band" based on the concept of dual lead guitars, a staple of southern rock that was highly unusual on the psychedelic music scene, Prince and Cox recruited Todd Potter; a gymnast, saxophone player and guitarist. With the addition of Danny Segovia, the original line up of Bubble Puppy was complete. The name "Bubble Puppy" was taken from "Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy", a fictitious children's game in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Bubble Puppy's live debut was as the opening act for The Who in San Antonio.

After several line-up changes, the final roster for Bubble Puppy settled at Rod Prince and Todd Potter on lead guitars, Roy Cox on bass guitar and David "Fuzzy" Fore on drums. In 1967, Bubble Puppy moved to Austin, Texas and signed a recording contract with Houston-based International Artists, home to the 13th Floor Elevators and the Red Krayola.

Snatched from total obscurity to relative You Tube obscurity. Is this what San Antonio gave to the World!!!!

@barukanaka Glad someone else admits going to the White House (a lot =) back then!

They're such an awesome band ! Great to see how respected they are in Texas and the World today ! I heard Hot Smoke in 1981 when i was 16 ,..and it moved me to want to play music more than the Who, Sabbath, Rush, or any group -

great stuff baby boom I am 26 and I love this

[moviemagg]

This sounds like a cut from one of their albums and not from the original 45, however it's still one of the best B-sides from the late great swinging 60s. Back in the 1960s a lot of groups would record two versions of an A-side and B-side. One for the original 45rpm release and the other for the latter album release. I have the original 45 version of this song and it's a little more raw and not as clean sounding. Still a great tune!
