  • Bio

    The Cavemen .... 45:.. 1(B) It's Trash / The Pillow Bit (Chelle PH 148) June 1966.. .... Former members Pauli Walterson and Bob Jabour have produced the Key West Psychedelic Daze Volume 1 (1965-1975) compilation, which at last reveals the identities behind this band and two other Key West, Florida outfits - Paloma (who also featured Pauli Walterson and Tony Rey - one track from 1972) and Overseas Highway (nine tracks from 1970 to 1978 featuring comp co-producer Jim Dean). No new nuggets by The Cavemen however - just their moment of immortality, It's Trash. With its superb iron-lunged vocals, savage guitar-led instrumentation and fine use of echo it typifies all that's best about mid-sixties psychedelic punk. .... The Key West compilation dangles a carrot by stating that The Cavemen did record an LP which only made it to the test pressing stage (ten copies, it sez, also on the Chelle label). Let's hope that any nuggets thereon may be revealed in a future volume. .... Jabour had earlier played in a band with Vince (Vinnie) Martell who went on to the Pigeons before hitting the jackpot with Vanilla Fudge. Rey went on to play with Eric Andersen and latterly a band called Guarapo. Roche was later in a Led Zeppelin cover band. .... Additional info is provided by the liners on the excellent Teenage Shutdown series, which reveals that the band included two former Coachmen (Jabour and Rey?) and would be known latterly as the 4th Generation until they split. .... Other compilation appearances include: It's Trash on Mayhem & Psychosis, Vol. 1 (LP), Mayhem & Psychosis, Vol. 1 (CD), Off The Wall, Vol. 2 (LP), Pebbles, Vol. 3 (ESD) (CD), Trash Box (5-CD), Teenage Shutdown, Vol. 4 (LP & CD), Best of Pebbles, Vol. 3 (LP & CD) and Psychedelic States: Florida Vol. 3 (CD). ....
