1969's A Gathering of Promises: Vinyl Relics Explores a Hidden Psychedelic Classic

EPYSODE 04: A Gathering Of Promises by Bubble Puppy.

Guest: Bubble Puppy drummer David Fore.

Additional commentary by Uncle Herff.

*This epysode was released in season 1, when the show was titled "Psychedelic Relics".

In this epysode we learn how this Texan band came swinging right out of the gates with a smokin' hit in 1969. After some unfortunate record company shenanigans they were forced to move to another label and change their name to Demian. One album later and with a promising future ahead, it all falls apart. "It was stupid. Don't ever be in a band!", David said jokingly.

We also end the debate as to which album is better - "A Gathering of Promises" or "Demian". David also assists in my pronunciation!

I hope you dig "A Gathering of Promises" as much as I do!
