   About The Orange Alabaster Mushroom
Ontario's answer to the Bevis Frond, the Orange Alabaster Mushroom is bedroom D.I.Y. auteur Greg Watson, whose one-man band reproductions of classic circa-1967 psych-pop are so dead-on perfect in every detail that one could play this collection of 1991-1998 recordings for any fan of Nuggets-era obscurities and they'd think it was authentic circa 1967 psych-pop. Farfisa organ, gloriously fuzzy guitars, and rattlesnake percussion (plus occasionally the obligatory sitar and trippy backwards tapes) support Watson's deliciously whiny vocals, but this is no mere period recreation. Unlike a lot of contemporary artists who try to work in this style, Watson doesn't forget what made the best psych-pop singles work so well: strong melodies and immediate hooks. Songs like the "Itchykoo Park"-like music hall amble "Sunny Day" and the statement of intent "We Are the Orange Alabaster Mushroom" capture the listener through their unabashed catchiness. Leaning more toward the fanciful side of British psychedelia than the comparatively drab San Francisco style (much more Syd Barrett than Grace Slick), this is an utterly charming collection likely to delight any psych-pop fan.

Hi there - we want to tell you about our new single, debut album and a few important gigs:
We release our debut single, a double A sided 7 inch (a limited collector's edition vinyl): "The Contessa" / "Snake Charmer" to coincide with our special celebration / launch gig in central London for our debut album "SIX AGAINST EIGHT" (the album should be out in October).
The single will also be available as downloads from all the usual on-line stores.  But the vinyl is available from September 26th.

Our live London appearance on SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 26 is a deluxe one-off show featuring special guests at Crossfire 14 (after the band's appearance there is a cool all-nighter featuring the cream of DJ talent from across Europe spinning the hippest underground 60s music) held at 229 The Venue (Great Portland Street, opposite Regent's Park).

Please let us know asap if you want some tickets:
Crossfire14


We also play our next Birmingham date on Saturday September 12th @ The Sound Bar plus support:
Sound Bar Gig Sept 12 2009


And Sun September 13 we play Bullit, Tamworth & are at the Underbelly in London on WEDS SEPT 30 supporting Damo Suzuki (C
