The Fredric

From Grand Rapids, Michigan, the Fredric issued a uncommon, limited-run album in the past due ’60s, Stages and Faces, that’s highly valued in a few collector quarters. It might be eventually inaccurate to contact this garage area psychedelia; it’s as well clean-cut and poppy, with conscientious harmonies, guitar-organ interplay, and light lovelorn lyrics. These were a very youthful group, and it displays within the callow songwriting, regardless of the well-executed agreements. The one “Crimson Pier” produced some modest regional sound, and by 1970 these were agreed upon to Capitol, who transformed their name towards the Rock and roll Backyard. They disbanded soon after starting their romantic relationship with Capitol; drummer-vocalist David Idema ultimately had popular as David Geddes, “Work Joey Work.”
