The Lucid Dream Photo Shoot Summer 1991
For those of you new to The Lucid Dream here is a very brief biography of the band, a more detailed one will follow shortly.
The Lucid Dream were a UK psychedelic rock band hailing from Gloucester in the West Country. Some would describe their sound as 'rural psychedelia' others simple 'a pop-sike nightmare'!
The group formed in the Summer of 1990 and by 1991 had already undetaken a UK tour supporting Echo and the Bunnymen and had the 'Dippy' 12 EP released on the Bunnymen's Euphoric Records produced by the Bunnymen's keyboard player Jake Brockman and legendary guitarist Will Sergeant. The group were beginning to make a name for themselves especially on the live circuit and building a great reputation. But by 1992 it had all gone to pot after a series of set-backs and not long after the bands last gig in London at The Robey they decided to call it a day in June 1992.
Luckily the band recorded a whole host of eight track demo's (including some released on cassette only label Acid Tapes) and these along with the 'Dippy' EP make up the new release 'Object Of Reality'.
The Lucid Dream were Dave Battersby (vocals), Ant Walker (Guitar), Craig 'Spadge' Sparey (Keyboards) Andrew 'Smurf' Mirfin (Drums) and Andrew Watkins (Bass). Later on in the bands career John Page played live on rhythm guitar.
More information on the career of the Lucid's as well as interviews with the band, pictures and lots more will appear here on our Blogspot Site within the forthcoming months.
So for now,
WIG OUT!
