According to member Bobby Beausoleil, the group was originally known as "The Electric Chamber Orchestra."
The name was changed to avoiding limiting bookings to small venues [1].
Beausoleil went on to work with Kenneth Anger and played the main role in the film Lucifer Rising before becoming involved with Charles Manson and his gang.
Another player was David LaFlamme who later founded It's a Beautiful Day.
Beausoleil has called the group "a launch pad to all of its members" [2] During their heyday the band released no recordings, but RD Records of Switzerland has now released an LP with Orkustra music in collaboration with Beausoleil.
