Monday song: The Electric Banana (a.k.a. The Pretty Things) – Alexander

Posted on Monday, December 24th, 2012

Every Monday morning we’ll post a kick-ass song to get your week going.

“Between 67-70 The Pretty Things recorded a string of acid fried classics that pushed the envelope of guitar music: ‘Defecting Grey’, ‘Balloon Burning’, ‘Mr. Evasion’, ‘Old Man Going’, ‘Eagle’s Son’, ‘Alexander’ etc etc… absolutely blew our minds with a twin guitar fury that became heavy metal music”, says Electric Wizard‘s Jus Oborn.

“And thanks to the DeWolfe library they also turned up in British Exploitation movie classics like ‘Take an Easy Ride’ (where we first heard them) their screeching guitars accentuating the sleazy action…. and they have agreed to play a special one-off set of these searing acid rock classics for us and you.”

“Thank you sirs from Electric Wizard (the 2nd worst behaved rock band in the world).”

The Pretty Things will play their full-on psychedelic set at The Electric Acid Orgy / Roadburn 2013 on Friday, April 19th at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.
