Mount Rushmore from San Francisco, California played a heavy blues rock style with psychedelic elements -- formed in late 1966 at 1915 Oak Street, the site of a large Victorian rooming house in the Haight-Ashbury district. In June and July 1967 they were featured on posters for shows at the Avalon Ballroom with other bands including the Quicksilver Messenger Service and Big Brother and the Holding Company. After some members including their original vocalist Warren Phillips left for the band Phoenix in 1968, new members were added and the group made their only two albums, both worthy of collector attention and produced by Ray Ruff, the guy who produced also the THEM albums ("Now & Them", "Time Out Time In For Them" & "In Reality")
