Devil's Kitchen - 1968-69

Devil's Kitchen was a four piece that played and lived in San Francisco from the spring of '68, to the summer of 1970. The house band fro Chet Helm's Family Dog Ballroom on the Great Highway. Opening and performing with many bands' of the time and playing everywhere from the Whiskey to the Fillmore West. The band fell apart in the summer of 1970 while on tour and ran into trouble playing universities due to the shooting at Kent State. Their last big gig was at the Kickapoo Creek Rock Festival in Hayward Illinois.

Sadly the band never released any recordings until this release.

Here lies the thunder of yesterday....

Heavy 70's. The retirement home of underground Proto-Metal, Hard Rock, Heavy Psych, Rock 'n' Roll, Blues Rock, Stoner Rock, Fuzz Tone, Heavy Prog, Prog, Garage Punk, Proto-Punk, Krautrock, and all that was heavy, and LOUD from mid to late 60's through late 70's up to the N.W.O.B.H.M.

Sonic mayhem from a time when volume meant walls of Hiwatts and guitar tones were just as fuzzy as the people playing them. Scores of underground sounds from all over the globe, as well as some well known names.

Most are long gone, others carry on.

A lot of these elder knights of noise have resurrected themselves in recent years due to the ever increasing interest and resurgence of this particular scene of sound. Further proof that gone NEVER means forgotten.

This page is just for shits and kicks and spreadin' great tunes around. I am not a reviewer, nor do I consider myself a journalist of any type. If you're looking for detailed, in depth history, and what all the past members are up to you're in the wrong place. I AM however, a rabid vinyl junkie and "heavy" collector of many types and genres.

That all being said, I hope you get turned on to at least a few bands or find something new to your world you can appreciate.

Fuckin' A.
