Was in a coffee shop (pot shop) in Amsterdam last month called DampKring (you may have seen it on Ocean's 12) and they were playing some magical, late 60's music. I need some band recommendations and some songs that have that specific 60's Haight-Ashbury/"Hashbury" keyboard sound. I've got a few songs in my library that fit the mold from bands like Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Doors, Storybook, Electric Flag, Jefferson Airplane, etc. I want a band that specifically does that keyboard sound if you know what I'm talking about. Sorry I cannot describe it for shite.

TIA.

Black Angels- Bad Vibrations

FWIW The Rising Storm was a bunch of rich-boy preppies at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. They split up when they graduated and went on to Harvard, Yale etc... They're all doctors and stockbrokers now.

I think you're talking about a Farfisa keyboard.

Richard Wright used one on the early Pink Floyd recordings "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and "Ummagumma".

Iron Butterfly had that sound, Sly and the Family Stone, etc.

If you google "bands that used farfisa keyboards" or something you could probably find all the music you want.

No wonder this is my favorite Floyd album.

This is why I come to this board.

Two woodstock bands (though Iron Butterfly never got to play due to flight complications).

People say "Farfisa" to describe the sound, but the king of that sound, Augie Meyers of the aforementioned Sir Douglas Quintet, actually played a Vox.

"She's About A Mover"

"The Rains Came"

"Mendocino"

"Who'll Be The Next In Line"
