Career

The band was formed in Fullerton, California, which is part of Orange County, not far from Los Angeles.[1][2][3] Their lineup consisted of Shel Le, Camille, Rosemary Lane, and Dee Dee Lea, and their name reflected their interest in the burgeoning psychedelic sounds and "flower power" of the time.[1] In 1968, they released the album Straight or Lame for the United International label.[1][4][2][3] The band broke up shortly thereafter.[1] Rosemary Lane went on to sing backing vocals in Jackson Browne's band, but none of the other members remained active in music.[1]

Later years

In the intervening years since their breakup, the Daisy Chain's work has come to the attention of garage rock and psychedelic enthusiasts.[1] In 2005 Sundazed Records reissued the Straight or Lame album on CD in its original mono mix, but with new liner notes including interviews with former band members.[1][4][2][3]

gollark: I have a fullres version somewhere, but it shows as heptagony/hexagony in Discord fine.
gollark: You can tell it's a hyperbolic tessellation of some kind because of the... hyperbolic tessellationy look... where there are things getting smaller and smaller near the outsides.
gollark: You can actually see heptagons and hexagons if you look at it.
gollark: It means lots of things.
gollark: Fascinating.
