Red Dog Saloon presents The Charlatans starting June 23 |
Wait a minute! These guys at this bar started the Psychedelic Era? They played short, old 30s and 40s tunes, dressed as late 1800s gunfighters, and took to the stage loaded to the gills on acid. The poster (by "The Seed") was the first psychedelic rock concert poster ever. The Charlatans were legends in the Bay Area since 1964. They didn't release an album until 1969 (with only a couple of the original group members). |
