Brown Acid the Twenty-First Trip

Here we are again in 2025, Brown Acid The Twenty-First Trip arriving right on
time as the world at large degrades further into disorienting self-absorbed isolation and chaos. Ten powerful early hard rock brain benders, primal energy exploding sideways out of the ash heap of ‘60s idealism, rocking the darker side of human nature in style! Raw and unfiltered, no compromise, blasting gnarly sound perfectly sequenced to take you on one helluva ride! Territory populated with dicey characters, perilous women, predators, bad relationships… anti-social alienation delivered with smoking guitars, real people ripping it with no self-defeating namby-pamby finesse sabotaging their brutal energy. Every track sounds fresh today because Brown Acid is the real deal when it comes to what matters in music… communication! Life itself sonically sneering across time!

BROWN ACID The Nineteenth Trip is out worldwide October 31, 2024!

There is NO LIGHT at the end of this tunnel! BROWN ACID: The Nineteenth Trip fires ten more savage nails deep into the coffin of ‘60s psychedelic idealism. This series is THE premier top dog journey into the rarest and most wasted early local eruptions of heavy rock, unleashed at a time when harsh reality, human nature and disillusionment drove prevailing underground rock glimpses of a ‘better’ world into ever darker selfabsorbed comedowns. Mind expanding ’60s love energies transform into toxic aggression right before your ears! The great thing is that these moves are totally justified, ‘we are all one’ is cosmically good in theory but ‘get it while you can’ ends up perhaps better advice in the light of human history. Both of those angles of awareness can coexist, some of these bands deliver unrelenting sideways positive energy but they aren’t over-thinking it, they are youthfully driven by hunger for life and satisfying the undeniable urges their DNA thrusts upon them. Sonically, the results in the BROWN ACID series never fail to breathe hot and heavy, the guitars kill it every time, the variety of approaches these tracks take keep the scenery shifting into new places. The key element that makes this stuff so potent is that THEY (the bands) are in control. Captured genuinely with no compromise, right out of the gate. No doubt they had ambition with high hopes for the future when they laid down these primal efforts, the fact that they captured their energy so vividly at a moment in time when the only direction imaginable was UP creates a hard hitting life affirming subtext to the proceedings. That is the core energy of blues and rock and roll, dealing with the struggles of existence by flipping a gigantic ‘what the fuck’ high energy bird right in the face of the moronic defective reality these bands were born into. If you take this stuff too ‘seriously’ you are utterly missing the point, it is beyond analysis, it is life itself! No amount of thinking will get you there quicker! BROWN ACID: The Nineteenth Trip is scary… the bottomless pit of deranged vintage heavy rock the series presents continually expands over time… one deadly dose too many and you might be trapped in the bad trip loop forever… enjoy it or lose your mind!

DICK RABBIT “You Come On Like A Train” is the earliest recording on this ride, 1968 out of Bay City, Michigan, with cutting edge downer explosive heavy fuzz sludge intro moves and killer invasive riff damage akin to top level toxic early Blue Cheer. Keeping it extra real, this band are three biological brothers Gordon, Phil and Rich Thayer. In sync with the jaw dropping heavy guitar riff are terrific lyrics like “I can see things inside your brain”, “I can hear things I can’t see” and “I can see things I can’t touch… give it to me”… total bypass romance, cut to the chase girl grabber action with the cocky attitude only a young dude fresh on the hunt can pull off with no hint of stalker creepiness. To top it off the guitar break has full on echoing Jimi moves. This track resides in the perfect sweet spot where psychedelic action morphs into wasted proto downer hard rock. Dick Rabbit also had an impossibly rare second 45 issued in 1969 where they cover Donovan’s 1966 acid classic “The Trip” (spelled charmingly wrong as ‘Donavan’ on the label). Extra cred in my book for having such an outrageous band name for 1968!

Parchment Farm History

Over the course of about five years beginning in late 1968, several musicians living in eastern Missouri rocked the area clubs and festivals with a mix of cover and heavy original songs. The band’s name, Parchment Farm, came from a song on Blue Cheer’s debut LP, “Vincebus Eruptum.”

Parchment Farm 1.0

Figure 1: L to R – Mike Watermann (drums), Paul Cockrum (guitar, vocals), Ace Williams (bass, vocals), Gary Reed (keyboards; RIP)

According to Mike Watermann, original drummer for Parchment Farm, their first gig was in late 1968.

Parchment Farm 1.0 was an opening act for the following:

Sons of Champlin, sometime in early August and/or November 26, 1969 at The Rainy Daze Club (Dates for Sons of Champlin shows are according to a post on The Rainy Daze Facebook page. That Parchment Farm 1.0 was an opening act is per Mike Watermann).

Brian Auger & Trinity on July 7, 1970 at The Rainy Daze Club (per Mike Watermann).

NOTE: Parchment Farm 1.0 played with another local band, Burlington Route, at The Rainy Daze Club on January 9, 1970.

 
Parchment Farm 2.0

Figure 2: L to R – Mike Dulany (drums, vocals; RIP), Paul Cockrum (guitar, vocals), Ace Williams (bass, vocals)

In early 1971, Mike Dulany (RIP) became the drummer and they were, now, a 3-piece band. The development of original songs ramped up and they began playing and recording them right away.

Parchment Farm 2.0 was an opening act for the following:

ZZ Top on July 29, 1972 at the Airway Drive-In Theater, St. Louis, MO.

Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes on October 14, 1971 at the Shrine Mosque in Springfield, MO.

Ted Nugent & The Amboy Dukes on January 29, 1972 at the Columbia, MO National Guard

Velvet Underground & Brownsville Station on August 29, 1971 at Fun Valley Lake in Pacific, MO

Parchment Farm 3.0

Sometime in late 1972, Mike Lusher became the drummer and the band added a keyboardist, Cliff King. They expanded the repertoire by playing songs by The Moody Blues, Yes, etc. At some point after February, 1973, Cliff left the band and was replaced by Mike “Scotty” Scott, a young Keith Emerson follower that owned a Moog and played the flute.

Parchment Farm 3.0 (presumably with Mike Scott) was an opening act for the following:

Canned Heat, The Hollies, and Rare Earth on Sunday, May 27, 1973 in Evansville, Indiana (as reported in the Evansville Press on May 28, 1973)

REO Speedwagon on August 18, 1973 at the Rollins Music Festival near Villa Ridge, MO.

Parchment Farm disbanded in late 1973.

“People… are you ready?, ’cause the music now is getting so heavy”… Back Jack out of St. Louis, Missouri in 1974 launch our trip with “Bridge Waters Dynamite”. It’s an invocation to rock flashing on Mark Farner whooping up a Grand Funk crowd, then getting to the point quickly with berserk guitar assaults.

The post BACK JACK – Bridge Waters Dynamite (Official Audio Video) appeared first on MyRockNews.

Parchment Farm from Union, Missouri gigged with the likes of ZZ Top and Ted Nugent back in the day and unleashed the amazing “Songs Of The Dead” in 1971. Primitive riff/chord pattern dosed with some funky prog moves, sky turning black, ‘is this heaven or hell’ type disoriented confusion… may as well grab your guitar and sing songs to the dead. Robert ‘Ace’ Williams on bass, Paul Cockrum on guitar, and Mike Dulany on drums (R.I.P.) Cool that they use the Blue Cheer misspelling from Vincebus Eruptum for the band name!

1. Blind Man
2. Rose Petal Lady
3. Reason To Be
4. The Machine Is Small Enough
5. August Apathy

Very little is known about Joe Prichard or his sidekicks, except that the band, which hailed from Missouri, drew its inspiration from influences far and wide, resulting in each of the 5 tracks being very different in character, ranging from the power chords and staccato guitar breaks of the Jimmy Page variety, to the throaty sax of 12-bar blues specialists Climax as well as the dual guitars of ZZ Top. There’s even a 9-minute jam a la Jethro Tull or Traffic with flute and sax giving a decidedly jazzy feel to proceedings. This is another extremely rare record put out by RidingEasy Records. Expect Vinyl very soon.

Brown Acid 17

Lucky number 17? You better believe it. We here at Brown Acid have been scouring the highways and byways of America for even more hidden stashes of psych/garage/proto-punk madness from the so-called Aquarian Age. There’s no flower power here, though—just acid casualties, rock stompers and major freakouts. As always, the songs have been officially licensed, and all the artists get paid.

Kicking off this trip, Grapple’s “Ethereal Genesis” is a heavy psych gem from 1969 written by J. Bruce Svoboda, a.k.a. Jay Bruce, formerly of The Hangmen and The Five Canadians (who were actually the same San Antonio band). The latter’s 1966 garage favorite “Writing on the Wall” has been endlessly covered, but Grapple were never heard from again.

With a guitar riff that blatantly rips off Sabbath’s “Black Sabbath,” Image’s mostly instrumental lysergic obscurity “Witchcraft ’71” (originally unveiled that very year) also boasts a horror-movie organ intro, a voodoo drum break and some championship chanting. Private press heads might recall late Image drummer John Beke from his ’80s reemergence with country rockers Crossfyre.

Stone Hedge were a seven-piece rock band out of Michigan with a penchant for Creedence and anthropomorphism. “Smokey Bear” is their 1972 tribute to the official mascot of the U.S. Forest Services—not to mention the A side of their sole single—and it recalls the kind of organ-drenched swamp jam that soundtracked many a Burt Reynolds flick back in the day.

If you think being a Southern rock band from Milwaukee doesn’t make much sense, that’s probably why Crossfire changed their sound along with their name—to Bad Boy—after signing with United Artists. Bad Boy’s severely underappreciated second album, Back To Back, is a 1978 hard rock jewel, but you can hear their boogie-woogie roots on this rare 1975 single.

With a band name like Primevil and song title like “Too Dead To Live,” you probably expect some gnarly proto-metal riffage. Instead, you a get a harmonica-drenched, soul-infused rock rave-up from 1972. Primevil would release their sole LP two years later: Entitled Smokin’ Bats at Campton’s, it’s a reference to their trusty singer, harp player (and bat smoker?), Dave Campton.

Brown Acid regulars already know Pegasus from their appearance with “The Sorcerer” on our Seventh Trip. “Ready to Rave” is the flipside to that 1972 single, in which they explain how they like their whiskey cold and their women hot. It’s another killer glimpse of what might have been if these one-and-done Baltimore hard rockers had been able to keep it together.

One of two obscure singles released by Texas musician Bobby Mabe in 1969 (the other appears under the name The Outcasts), “I’m Lonely” delivers a heavy dose of vocal soul to the otherwise psych-garage presentation. Fans of fellow Houstonians the Moving Sidewalks—whom Bobby and his Outcasts may well have gigged with—will especially dig this one.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, may not be known as a cultural mecca, but they did give us Truth & Janey. This deadly hard rock trio delivered their holy grail full-length, No Rest for the Wicked, back in 1976. “Around and Around” is a Chuck Berry cover that originally appeared on a 1973 single the band released under the earlier name Truth.

Originally released in 1973, “High School Letter” is the debut single from San Diego rock squad Glory. This infectious bonehead cruncher features future Beat Farmer Jerry Raney and the original rhythm section of Iron Butterfly in bassist Greg Willis and drummer Jack Pinney. Glory is what they got up to after their former bandmates left for L.A.’s garden of Eden.

“Jack the Ripper” is a mercilessly bootlegged Cleveland classic from 1978 with a serrated punk edge and vocals that recall Mick Blood of Aussie savages the Lime Spiders. Or maybe it’s the other way around—the Lime Spiders formed the year after Strychnine carved off this lethal paean to the infamous Whitechapel slasher of olde.
