(Hear) 1969 Bentley Road Folk Psych 45 (Kill the Cobra)

Bentley Road – “Kill the Cobra” b/w “Michael Michael” (Forward 130). Bentley Road evolved out of a group called the Sedate Sunshine Company, which formed in 1965 and hailed from Kingsburg, CA, a town just southeast of Fresno. Original members included brothers Craig Anderson (guitar, vocals) and Jeff Anderson (bass, vocals), Pat Erickson (vocals, flute, tambourine), Woody Bell (vocals), Jonnie Sue Bartell (keyboards, vocals) and Chuck Zendner (drums). They were primarily a folk-rock band with psychedelic overtones and actually labeled themselves as being "folkadelic". They were inspired by and covered many of the well known LA area bands, including the Byrds and Peanut Butter Conspiracy, but also played many originals which were all written by Craig Anderson. The band primarily gigged around the Fresno area and in 1967 made their one and only TV appearance on the local 'Dick Carr Show'. Not able to make it big in Fresno, the band splintered with Craig Anderson, Erickson, Bartell and new member David Nyberg (drums) relocating to LA and changing their name to Anderson. They played the club scene, including the Wine Cellar in Westwood. They were finally discovered by Steppenwolf bassist Nick St. Nicholas who became their manager. They then changed their name to Bentley Road (after a song that Craig Anderson had written) and issued this lone 45. Record is a dj copy in VG+ condition (has a date written on each label). Postage will be paid by purchaser.
