Snow Bud and the Flower People

Formed in 1986 as a side-project of Napalm Beach's Chris Newman, Snow Bud was inspired by 60's garage rock and psychedelia. It features fuzz-wah, reverb-washed guitars, and stoner lyrics celebrating the "sacred herb." The first two albums (Snow Bud and The Flower People, Vegetable Matter) were both released in 1986 on cassette. Later albums appeared on compact disc. Snow Bud was featured in the August 1991 "High Times" centerfold, with a graphic review/interview by John Holmstrom. Read more on Last.fm …read full bio
