212B. SNEAK PEEK OF MOBY GRAPE’S SKIP SPENCE PART 4 WITH BIOGRAPHER CAM COBB (WEIRD HERALD, PACHUCO, & THE DOOBIE BROTHERS) (GRAPE EXPECTATIONS EPISOD...

Grape Expectations’ Episode 10 will hip you to one of the greatest lost psych bands of the 1960s, as we explore the late 1960s-early 1970s in Skip’s life, a time when he gave it his best shot acting as Dad to four kids when he just couldn’t hack it, as the pull of the lifestyle got the better of him...but not before helping to assemble one of the most successful bands of the 1970s.

Here’s just a few of the many things that Cam discusses with Discograffiti in Part 4 of our discussion:

• The batshit insane drug called “LBJ” that Skip may possibly have taken when he had his breakdown;
• The first wave of Grape acolytes who found their way west to search for Skip and the gang…and with whom Skip played matchmaker, creating a band by accident that wound up practically owning the 1970s;
• A side deep-dive on Weird Herald, Billy Dean Andrus’s band that existed concurrently with Moby Grape’s initial run, plus a track-by-track rundown of their recently released masterpiece, Just Yesterday;
• And the short-lived band in which Skip played with Billy Dean Andrus called Pachuco.
