Artist Biography For The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band

The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band WCPAEB Was An American Psychedelic Rock Band Formed In Los Angeles California In 1965. The Group Created Music That Possessed An Eerie And At Times Sinister Atmosphere And Contained Material That Was Bluntly Political Childlike And Bizarre. Representing Different Musical Backgrounds Among Band Members The Group At Times Resembled A Traditional Byrds-Esque Folk Rock Ensemble But The WCPAEB Also Within The Same Body Of Work Recorded Avant-Garde Music Marked By Multi-Layered Vocal Harmonies. Aspiring Musician And Scenester Bob Markley Managed To Join The Group The Laughing Wind In Exchange For His Connections In The Music Industry And Substantial Bankroll. The Original Five-Piece Line-Up Consisted Of Michael Lloyd Rhythm Guitar Vocals Shaun Harris Bass Guitar Vocals Danny Harris Lead Guitar Vocals John Ware Drums And Markley Tambourine Vocals . Although Markley Possessed The Least Musical Talent His Expertise In Law Enabled Him To Assume Control Of The Group's Name And Publishing Which Generated A Divide In The WCPAEB's Creative Mindset. The Band Debuted With The Album Volume One In 1966 On The Small FiFo Record Label. In The Early Years Of The Group Much Was Made Of The WCPAEB's Elaborate Psychedelic Light Shows Which Became The Focal Point Of Their Live Performances In Los Angeles. Following The Release Of Volume One The WCPAEB Signed With Reprise Records Recording Three Albums With The Company Including Arguably Their Most Accomplished Work Volume 3 A Child's Guide To Good And Evil In 1968. Two Additional Albums Where's My Daddy? And Markley A Group Were Distributed On Independent Labels Before The Group Disbanded In 1970.
