Release 1996 - see booklet by Alec Palao
Formed out of the ashes of Garage R&B group the ETHIX.
Influenced by VARESE, J.CAGE & T.RILEY they started Avant-Garde Rock-Group
FIFT FOOT HOUSE in 1967.
They experimented with electronic, jazz, psych and rock and recorded only one album.
With the sound it was very difficult to get gigs, some of the members had to take work
as part of the musical Hair - so the group had to split in 1969.
They are a influence on bands like PERE UBO or CHROME.
