CLAIMED TO HAVE HAD THE WORLDS LARGEST LAVA LAMP ON STAGE

Born in the Bronx , New York in 1964 the Blues Magoos , were oringinally called "The Trenchcoats", then "the Bloos Magoos" and finally settled on "the Blues Magoos". By 1966, after a couple of personnel changes the members were now : Emil Thielhelm who went by the name Peppy Castro (vocals & guitar), Mike Esposito (lead guitar), Ralph Scala (organ & vocals), Ronnie Gilbert (bass), and Geoff Daking (drums). In 1966 Mercury Records signed the Blues Magoos to a record contract. "Psychedelic Lollipop" was

soon released. In a U.S. tour in 1967 they were the opening band, followed by "The Who", then headliners "Herman Hermits". Their song "Gotta Get Away" was used in the movie Easy Rider. They went on to have a few more hits, but they were basically "one hit wonders". Their last two albums were pretty much ignored by their fans. They split up in 1968. Castro re-organized the Magoos with new members Eric Katz, Richie Dickon, John Leillo, and Roger Eaton and they released "Never Goin' Back To Georgia", but it also did poorly. Eaton went his way and the other Blues Magoos' used session guys to record one final album "Gulf Coast Bound". In 1981Peppy Castro showed up again with a band called "Balance". The Blues Magoos will be remembered forever by Baby Boomers for their electric suits and giant lava lamps on stage.
