Adrian Pride

Adrian Satisfaction was the pseudonym for Bernie Schwartz (never to be puzzled using the actor Tony Curtis, who was simply given birth to Bernie Schwartz), a experienced songwriter whose associations included Sharon Sheely as well as the Everly Brothers, and was also an intermittent recording artist aswell. “Adrian Satisfaction” was the name he thought we would make use of on his second Warner Bros. solitary, a documenting of “Her Name Is usually Melody,” a trippy little bit of sunlight pop from past due 1966. This raga-influenced ballad, with outstanding drumming and many levels of virtuoso playing on acoustic guitar, marked the only real appearance of Schwartz with this guise of Adrian Satisfaction — he’d resurface in 1968 under his personal name as an associate of the Comfy Chair. Unfortunately, “Her Name Is usually Melody” somehow skipped the graphs and had to hold back until 2004, upon the discharge of Rhino Handmade’s Hallucinations: Psychedelic Pop Nuggets from your WEA Vaults, to obtain a hearing before an appreciative target audience.
