Red Red Groovy was another band who incorporated a more alternative sound into what is essentially pop music. The creation of Minneapolis DJ Brett Edgar, the group's goal was to "combine '60s-minded psychedelic rock with club/dance music". He had created a bunch of songs on his own that got label interest, so he had to pull a group together to tour and record a proper album. He enlisted singer Lori Larson and guitarist Mike Hill. They were signed to MCA offshoot Continuum. Their first single, "Another Kind Of Find", was a hit on the Billboard Dance Chart. The second single, "Come To Me, Ecstasy", did even better. A third single, "Burning Like The Sun", also hit the dance charts, only not as high. Despite this dance chart and club success, the group failed to reach the pop charts. Their sound, which really did incorporate psychedelic rock, pop, techno, house and even ambient moments, was certainly infectious but probably too adventurous for most. The fact that Continuum folded soon after, which prohibited them from releasing new music, didn't help, and the group disbanded. According to a site dedicated to the group, Edgar still records as Red Red Groovy. Visitor Tonservo3Alt wrote to let us know that Lori Larson recorded a solo album, Buoyancy, in 2003, which explored a more adult contemporary, new age sound. (She should not be confused with the new age singer with the same but differently spelled name, Laurie Larson.) And they also shared a true rarity, a song Red Red Groovy recorded with 60's oddity and one hit wonder Tiny Tim in 1996, entitled "We Love You Billy Budd". Odd indeed, but certainly in keeping with the psychedelic sounds of both artists.Video for Another Kind Of Find
