Albums by The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band
Artist Biography
One of the more offbeat acts to emerge during the psychedelic era, the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band were certainly eclectic and ambitious enough to live up to their slightly clumsy moniker. They were capable of jumping from graceful folk-rock to wailing guitar freakouts to atonal, multilayered, avant-garde compositions at a moment's notice, and earned a potent cult following for 1967's Vol. 2 and 1968's Vol. 3: A Child's Guide to Good & Evil. Their legacy also reflected a strongly divided creative mindset, with Bob Markley, the lyricist and ostensive leader of the group, on one side, and the rest of the band on the other. The majority of their work received a carefully compiled reissue for the 2023 box set A Door Inside Your Mind: The Complete Reprise Recordings 1966-1968.
