The Fallen Angels — The Fallen Angels 1967 (USA, Garage, Psychedelic Rock)
The Fallen Angels, a band from Washington, D.C., existed from 1965 to 1969. They were the first band to bear this name, but they are unrelated. Gram Parsons named his backing band that way in the early 1970s, then Phil May (former lead singer of Pretty Things) named his new band that way, and finally, in the 1980s, there was a band with the same name, consisting of former members of Hanoi Rocks and The Vibrators. This same band was also founded in 1965 by Wally Cook and Ned Davis of The Young Rabbits. They were initially called The Disciples, then The Uncalled Four, but when they grew to five, the name no longer suited them, so they became The Fallen Angels, undergoing several lineup changes. The band quickly gained popularity. Everyone who has seen the band on stage notes their charisma and ability to engage audiences, even those with a negative attitude. They released two albums and several singles. The first album was a bit rough and felt unfinished, but the second was a true masterpiece. However, despite critical acclaim and the popularity of some of the songs on the album, sales were very poor. Apparently, their sound, unusual for its time—fuzz guitar, sound effects—was too progressive for mainstream audiences. At the end of 1969, Roulette Records dropped them and the band disbanded.
