Leo and the Prophets

The band, renamed Leo and the Prophets, performed regularly at the Jade Room in Austin and the Living Eye club in Houston, and also toured in other states such as Arkansas and New Mexico.

Much of the group's psychedelic-tinged setlist and casual attire – which both mesmerized and frustrated conservative audiences – was inspired by their contemporary the 13th Floor Elevators, who often shared the bill with Leo and the Prophets.

[3] Envisioned by Leo Ellis to be a dance-orientated song, "Tilt-a-Whirl" was banned by local radio stations for the lyric "I’ve got a feeling/banana peeling/and the monkey’s showing through", which made an underlining reference to recreational drug use.

The lack of publicity by pop radio stations ironically served to boost record sales and audiences at Leo and the Prophet's live performances hoping to hear the banned song.

Three original instrumentals, "Ozone Forest", "Prophecy of Love", and "Flowers on the Hill", were partially complete; however, no further recording sessions were scheduled for unknown reasons.
