Bubble Puppy in my opinion got kind of overshadowed by other texas psych groups at the time, i.e. 13th floor elevators or Fever Tree. They started in 1966, released "a Gathering of Promises", which had a top 20 hit with "Hot Smoke and Sassafrass" yet they never made it big. The album is really awesome psych pop and I wish more people were familiar with it. The band eventually moved to LA under the management of Nick St. Nicholas from Steppenwolf and changed their name to Demian, which may have contributed to the underwhelming success.
