3.0 out of 5 stars From Austin, Texas, Formerly Known as Bubble Puppy, May 11, 1999

This review is from: Demian (Audio CD)

From the late 60's to early 70's, central Texas had a remarkable feast of music from so many bands. Bubble Puppy was one. Their popularity was fierce in those days. BP was actually one of the first rock bands to feature two lead players (Rod Prince and Todd Potter). Their big hit was a psychedelic piece called "Hot Smoke and Sassafrass." However, maybe one of the most definitive musician's anthems (and clearly overlooked) was that of "Todd's Tune" which was redone on this record and sounds better than on "A Gathering of Promises", Bubble Puppy's first record. The band came to Los Angeles to record. I'm not certain why they changed their name to Demian. The effort was there but the recording did not render the band's virtuosities and energy I remember as a teen growing up during that exciting period in Austin-San Antonio Texas rock music. This group was one of the bands who helped generate the Austin music scene.

4.0 out of 5 stars Demian - self-titled (Fallout), May 30, 2008

This review is from: Demian (Reis) (Audio CD)

Originally released in 1970, this was the band's sole album. As some of you might know, Demian is basically the four musicians from Bubble Puppy putting out a post-BP release. Notice it's more hard rock that Bubble Puppy was, of course a psych band. I never even knew about this CD reissue until recently. Tunes I liked best were the Uriah Heep-ish "Face The Crowd", the awesome early '70's rocker "Coming", "No More Tenderness" (featuring some killer guitar riffs) and "Are You With Me Baby". Line-up: Rod Prince-guitar & vocals, Todd Potter-guitar, Roy Cox-bass & vocals and David Fore-drums. Should pull in fans of the 13th Floor Elevators, Count Five, Spirit and Blue Magoos.

This LP was one that cut to the chase when it came to solid rock that didn't add much fluff or lost energy. Found it again as a CD and relived it's creative energy that made such an impression on me as a teen.
It is a good thing to bring back the many artistic endeavors that might have been lost.
So many great things seem to come and then get lost in the vast myriad of the marketplace.
