Frumious Bandersnatch was an Americanpsychedelic rock band active in the 1960s. It wasnamed after a character from theLewis Carroll poem "Jabberwocky". Based inBerkeley, California,[1] the band was active from 1967 to 1969. Their initial three-song EP produced a minor underground hit with the song "Hearts to Cry". A recording of their live work, titledA Young Man's Song, was released in 1996 byBig Beat (UK).[2][3]
The band was formed across the bay from San Francisco in Contra Costa County, and changed personnel several times. Despite interest from several record companies, the band's only release was a three-song EP on their own label, pressed in a quantity of 1,000 and distributed locally.[1]
Four members of Frumious Bandersnatch (Bobby Winkelman,Jack King,Ross Valory, andDavid Denny) became regular members of theSteve Miller Band.[1] Valory, along with fellow Frumious Bandersnatch memberGeorge Tickner and managerHerbie Herbert, joined formerSantana membersNeal Schon andGregg Rolie to form the bandJourney in 1973.[1]
