The Seeds were formed in Los Angeles in 1965 during the cultural ferment of the time. After a series of regular gigs at Bido Lito's Club that gained them a good local following they released their first single "Can't seem to make you mine" that was played on many AM stations of the area, and became a local hit. The debut album "The Seeds" released in 1966 as trio with Saxon also on bass, had a winning and provocative formula: few chords, a lot of distortions and fuzzbox, and an element that will become their unmistikable trademard, the organ. The sound was halfway between garage and acid rock, with agreesive lyrics, screamed and dragged vocals, the obsessive use of the usual three strings, with the guitar taken to the extreme.
Sky Saxon - vocals, bass, harmonica. Jan Savage - lead guitar, rhythm guitar, 12-string guitar. Rick Andridge - drums. guest; Harvey Sharpe - bass (in the studio). guest: Daryl Hooper - organ, keyboards bass (on live gigs).
Can't seem to make you mine. No escape. Lose your mind. Evil hoodoo. Girl I want you. Pushin' too hard. Try to understand. Nobody spoil my fun. It's a hard life. You can't be trusted. Excuse, excuse. Fallin' in love.
