The Seeds announce UK tour dates for August (supported by The Sting-Rays) to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Ace Records

 

Direct from the USA, Psychedelic Garage Rock legends THE SEEDS fly in for exclusive UK shows to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ace Records. 

Formed in 1965, THE SEEDS originally featured Sky Saxon, Jan Savage, Daryl Hooper, and Rick Andridge. Along with contemporaries The Doors, Love, and the Electric Prunes, THE SEEDS pushed a pyschedelic garage rock sound on their releases. 

Now classic singles 'Can't Seem To Make You Mine', 'Pushin' Too Hard', 'Mr. Farmer' and 'Try To Understand' brought the band success outside of California. 

THE SEEDS have been named as influences by Iggy Pop, Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M., Animal Collective, Ramones, Garbage, Frank Zappa, The Bangles and many more. 

Original band member Daryl Hooper brings the latest incarnation of THE SEEDS to the UK for rare concerts this summer. 

The Sting-Rays were a British Garage Rock group who released their debut album 'Dinosaurs' on Big Beat Records (a subsidary of Ace Records) in 1983. 

The Sting-Rays appeared on Channel 4's 'The Tube' programme performing 'Come on Kid'.
