1 King Arthur s Court A Neo-tribal, Electronic, Psychedelic Musical Experience Featuring: Sky Sunlight Saxon of The Seeds and Djin Aquarian of YaHoWa13

2 About King Arthur s Court Sky Sunlight Saxon may be known best as the King of Garage Rock and the Master of Psychedelia but his ability to manifest diverse styles of music to please completely different audiences is awe-inspiring. As neo-tribal music has emerged onto the music scene, many people do not realize that Sky Sunlight has been deeply involved in this style since his days with The Source Family and their family band, YaHoWa 13. With King Arthur s Court, Sky Sunlight retains his crown as King - claiming his persona as a 21st century King Arthur who is doing battle with his court of musicians using music rather than the sword. He does this with an intense belief that music is the universal language that can bring people together and back into the realization of the world s interconnectedness. Spontaneous music is at the heart of this tribal psychedelic style of music and Sky Sunlight is blessed with an extraordinary talent of channeling lyrics that speak to the soul and the heart of everyone within hearing distance. He has surrounded himself with a court of musicians, King Arthur s Court, who wield their instruments with an innate ability to absorb each other s energies and perform a shamanic, psychedelic tribal sound experience. King Arthur s Court s purpose and hope through this kind of music is to intertwine the ancient and modern positive energy fields, enveloping the musicians and the audience as one. Wearing long flowing robes and beautiful feather headbands, illuminated by the psychedelic patterns of their analog Kalirascope, King Arthur s Court inspires free style dancing with a united emergence of soulful and heartfelt emotions throughout the entire room... and spilling out into the world beyond.

3 A Spring Honeymoon with God and Family, King Arthur s Court s debut album was recorded at The YWHW House of Mt. Shasta in 2005 and released on the StarPeaceRecords label. Their website can be viewed at www. starpeacerecords.com Band Member Bios Sky Sunlight Saxon: During the mid 60s, suburban garages across America rocked to the fuzz-drenched frenzy created by kids hoping to emulate The Seeds who were one of the biggest and best bands to emerge from this garage-band phenomenon. Their style was undeniably simple but nonetheless brilliantly original. Muddy Waters once called The Seeds America s own Rolling Stones. The Seeds debut album arrived in April Saxon s lyrics were infected by a wondrous charm, while the blend of British and blues influences served notice that The Seeds were developing a sound quite distinct from that of their Louie Louie -based rivals. Evil Hoodoo, is a piece of high-octane freak-beat that was as much a genuine slice of punk as anything the 70s threw up. Best known for their rock & roll standard Pushin Too Hard, the Seeds combined the raw appeal of garage rock with a fondness for psychedelia. They were the creation of the charismatic SKY SAXON (vocals), who recruited Jan Savage (guitar), Daryl Hooper (keyboards) and Rick Andridge (drums), and made a deal with a local L.A. label, which was home to several other leg-

4 endary garage punksters, for a debut 45, Can t Seem To Make You Mine (1965). This was a slow, driven piece which highlighted Saxon s unique vocal style. Pushin Too Hard (1966), the ultimate Seeds song, reached 36 in the Billboard chart. It was based around a simple driving riff, over which Saxon vented his teen angst, and was characterized by a masterful minimalism that would make the band a source of inspiration for countless bands. A second, more adventurous LP, A WEB OF SOUND, appeared in October The album brimmed with rockin mid-60s classics, including the fourteen-minute Up In Her Room and the tight groover Mr. Farmer, which provided The Seeds with another smash into the American charts. Mr. Farmer was included on the soundtrack of the recent movie Almost Famous by director Cameron Crowe, which won a grammy for Best Soundtrack. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll is an unordered list of 500 songs, created by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, that they believe have been most influential in shaping the course of rock and roll. Pushin Too Hard was named one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame s 500 songs that shaped Rock and Roll. The band then changed their garage style and threw the lot in with the emergent flower-power movement. The Seeds coined the term, Flower Power only to watch it crumble in commercial media hype. The result was FUTURE (1967). Saxon s compositions now contained a strong element of acid-tinged horticultural playful whimsy ( Travel With Your Mind and March of The Flower Children ), while the band, like The Beatles were innovators with Eastern-style instrumentation. Success seemed just around the corner, especially when the group cameoed in Jack Nicholson s Psych Out movie, they had a follow-up 45, The Wind Blows Your Hair (1967). At this point in their success, The Seeds headlined over bands like: The Doors, Buffalo Springfield, The Byrds, Vanilla Fudge, The Kinks, Four Seasons, Diana Ross and The Supremes and others. They also split bill with Jimi Hendrix in New York. Then came A SPOONFUL OF SEEDY BLUES (1967), released under the moniker Sky Saxon Blues Band and featuring sleeve notes by Muddy Waters. The Seeds were back, however, for the 1968 album RAW AND ALIVE: MERLINS MUSIC BOX, which featured powerful versions of the band s classic materials as well as a new stormer, Satisfy You.

5 Saxon reunited the original Seeds for a short tour in 1989 in which The Seeds were the headliners, in a show with Love, Big Brother and The Holding Company, and The Strawberry Alarm Clock. Since, Sky Saxon & The Seeds have toured internationally on several extended tours. Djin Aquarian: Djin Aquarian is the guitarist for the YaHoWa 13. Founded in 1969 in the Los Angeles area, YaHoWa 13, otherwise known Yahowha 13, is now regarded as one of the best American psychedelic bands. Fronted by Father Yod, spiritual leader of the religious commune, The Source Family, the band recorded over 65 albums although only 9 LPs remain as the others were destroyed by fire. YaHoWa 13 demonstrated their extreme psychedelic sound with tribal drums and distorted guitars, all completely unrehearsed and unedited. Members of The Source Family, a communal religious group living in the Hollywood Hills in the early 1970s, decided to fuse their musical talents and spirituality by forming an improvisational, psychedelic music group. They began to make LPs in 1973, all of which were recorded after hours of meditation at 3-6 AM in a soundproofed garage that served as the musicians studio in the family s communal residence. Most of the albums were small-press runs, with only 500 to 1000 copies made under the Higher Key Records imprint. They were sold to the general public in Father Yod s wildly popular vegetarian Source Restaurant for $1 each. The original recordings of all incarnations of YaHoWha 13 are now very rare and valued highly by music collectors, with some LPs priced around $1000. Sky Sunlight Saxon, singer of the seminal garage band The Seeds and a Source Family member still devoted to the teachings of YaHoWha, collaborated with Japanese label Captain Trip in 1998 and produced a deluxe 13 CD box set entitled God and Hair, including the original Source Family records and some unreleased material. In late 2007 YaHoWa 13 was featured on the cover of LA Weekly and soon after played shows at The Echoplex in LA & Cafe Du Nord in San Francisco with numerous national tour dates anounced for 2008.
