The work "electric" was quite popular in group names of the 1960's. In this space, I've already featured songs by The Electric Flag and Electric Prunes. Today's entry features the equally interesting Electric Banana. But, of course, the Electric Banana was not just another up and coming band in the psych rock scene. The Banana was just an alter ego of the Pretty Things, who've also be featured here. Like many bands' alter egos or side trips, the Electric Banana's work was just as interesting, or more, than the work of the original band. This is probably due to the fact that they could be more uninhibited by their developed style. The band must have liked this alter ego, as they would continue to work under this name periodically through 1978. Here they are from the early days with Street Girl.
