Pulse

There are multiple groups going by the name of "Pulse". 1."From New Haven, Connecticut, The Pulse evolved out of The Bram Rigg Set and The Shags, and were originally known as The Pulse Of Burritt Bradley. The track, Burritt Bradley, is a surreal slice of psychedelic madness, which can also be found on the Beyond The Calico Wall (LP & CD) compilation. By contrast, their album is a furious heavy rock affair and rated highly by some collectors. Tommy Violante left in 1969, although the band soldiered on until '72, playing mostly rehashed Cream-type stuff."
