Koobas

Originally called The Kubas, the band had its same roots in Liverpool. They spent time in Germany, and toured with The Beatles in the UK. Despite high profile appearances (The Who, Jimi Hendrix), their singles never charted and by the time the band's eponymous psychedelic album was released in late 1969, they had effectively disbanded. Keith Ellis would join Van der Graaf Generator.

Founded: 1962

Location: Liverpool, England
