The Mourning Dayze

Created in 1965 in Madison, WI, by John Valentine, Doug Henry, Steve Ellmann, and Rick Pfeifer, the Mourning Dayze acquired a garage-based psychedelic sound that led to a set of 45s (like the psych classic “Take a flight My Paper Airplane”) for Ray Peck’s Chicago-area Kiderian Reports in 1967. Both edges of both singles plus six various other sides documented for Kiderian had been collected over the Compact disc Shed Recordings, released by Gear Fab in 2007. The Mourning Dayze had been still a dynamic band several years later, and stayed located in Madison.
