The Other Half

This obscure San Francisco '60s band gained a degree of notoriety in the '80s when their punk-garage single "Mr. Pharmacist" was included on one of Rhino's Nuggets compilations and covered by the Fall. Actually, most of the Other Half's material was far less garage than psychedelic, featuring the sustain-laden guitar of Randy Holden, one of the best Jeff Beck-inspired axemen of the '60s. Boasting a just-out-of-the-garage approach to Haight-Ashbury psychedelia, the group cut a little-heard, fairly strong album, as well as a few rare singles, in 1967 and 1968.

Patterns

Patterns are Benjamin Riedl, Daniel Mertens and Patrick Hohlweck. They got together to play tunes in the summer of 2006, when Daniel returned from a 10 month hot air balloon tour of the UK, while Benjamin and Patrick where living together in a mouldy house in Cologne. The three of them had met through shows they had set up for each other’s respective former bands, and shared a common enthusiasm for American Fighter with Michael Dudikoff and improvisational dance.
