Poster was created by Dave Fontana. Awesome work Dave!
"August Mademoiselle" Gets a little attention in this podcast program from Yorkshire England. The two fellas playing the song comment at the end that they don't know anything about the band. They do point to the Mike Dugo interview located at beyondthebeatgeneraton.com. The song plays 4th from the last on the 3rd episode






The 1963 Volks Piano Van was later painted Volks Orange with yellow wheels and a big chrome stinger at the rear. I paid $600.00 sold for $1000.00
The 1964 Falcon Sprint was purchased for $1000.00. It was my friend Pat VanAuken who had a very nice 65 who inspired me to get this one. Both of our cars were Vintage Burgundy in color.
I also had a 1955 Chevy between the Cady and the Volks, just have to dig a picture out one of these days and add it in.

The Blu-Coats still going strong!

I remember many of our Mushroom practices ended after a black and white (Ventura Sheriff) unit showed up. Did that happen to any of your bands? ...Dennis - COTM
It seems like that was normal for every practice, right around 10pm. I even remember a bunch of squad cars and helmeted cops trying to enter my house, where Cast was rehearsing. Scary!
