Psychedelic Rock

Starship

Starship is an American rock band that operated from 1985 to 1989, reforming in 1992. In 1984, Paul Kantner left Jefferson Starship (San Francisco, California, USA). His former bandmates wanted to continue as Jefferson Starship, but Kantner, as the last founding member of Jefferson Airplane, took legal action over the "Jefferson" name. Kantner settled out of court and signed an agreement that neither party would use the names "Jefferson" or "Airplane" unless all members of Jefferson Airplane, Inc.

Parliament

Parliament was originally The Parliaments, a doo-wop group based out of George Clinton's Plainfield, New Jersey barber shop. The name was soon abandoned due to legal issues with Revilot and Atlantic Records, and most of the same people recorded under the name Funkadelic, which consisted of The Parliaments' backing musicians. Billy "Bass" Nelson is credited with creating the name Funkadelic. He also switched from 6-string guitar to bass, creating room for his childhood friend Eddie Hazel to join the group.

Vibes

Maybe there is another set of people using Vibes as a stage title, but for my buck, it only relates to the Not Not Fun super group with members of Pocahaunted, Robedoor, Magic Lantern, and Fantastic Ego. Funky like camping gear unwashed in the corner of the garage. Boom boom, pow wow. Get into the groove.

Gringo Star

Peter Furgiuele, Nicholas Furgiuele, Pete DeLorenzo, and Matt McCalvin are Gringo Star. Originally called A-Fir-Ju-Well but they changed their name in 2006 and then released a self titled EP. Gringo Star may be known best for their stunning live performances and constant touring.
Hailing from the ATL, they have a sweet mix of classic rock and Motown with a bit of punk energy. Most of the instrument duties and songwriting are split equally among the four band members.

Strangers Family Band

Formed in Orlando, FL in the summer of 2007, Strangers Family Band—a five-piece consisting of members in their early twenties—gained recognition and a following from their intense live shows and unique take on psychedelia. The experience transports the listener from ominous vaudevillian progressions ('Beware The Autumn People') to ukulele strummed pop a'la Sgt. Pepper ('No One Sees Her') to North Indian raga-influenced drone ('Strange Transmission') like an uninterrupted stream of consciousness.
