Black Bonzo, Sweden ***Inactive***


News: The band are not currently an operating unit, but they do occasionally post on Facebook (last was in 2016), so we'll keep a band page up in case they do reform. Last check: December 26, 2018


Location: Skellefteå (northeast Sweden, not too far from Finland)

Overview: Black Bonzo play an early 70’s influenced hard rock progressive sound. Think Uriah Heep mixed with some Caravan and early KC. They later morphed int a more straightforward band,but their first two albums are worth investigating.

Mr. Quimby's Beard, England ***Inactive***


News: I thought this band was long gone and buried, but they're pushing along as of September 2017 - well at least they are still posting on social media. But that means the flame is not yet extinguished! Last check: December 26, 2018


Location: Sunderland

Overview: Mr. Quimby's Beard were one of the more successful bands to come out of the UK Festival Psych scene from an artistic perspective. Well worth checking out if a fan of said scene.
