The Second Helping

Very little is known about this California-based band -- they seem to have had a psychedelic sound, and they were apparently based in Pasadena. They won a local band competition than got them a contract with Viva Records, a small label distributed at the time by Dot Records, whose roster included Professor Irwin Corey, Sonny Curtis, and the Midnight String Quartet. The group's sole lasting claim to fame is that Kenny Loggins passed through their membership at some point in the late 1960's. ~ Bruce Eder
