The Litter was an American psychedelic and garage rock band, formed in 1966 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States.
[2] Heavily influenced by the bands of the British Invasion,[1] the group recorded their debut single "Action Woman" / "A Legal Matter" in late 1966.
Bill Strandlof, lead guitarist for the single, was replaced by Tom Caplan just before their debut album Distortions was released in the summer of 1967.
Their writer/producer, Warren Kendrick, had developed a method to precisely control the flanging effect (which eventually became a staple of psychedelic recordings) and he applied it to a cover version of a Procol Harum song, "Kaleidoscope."
In 2020, Tom Murray, with talented new players including Larry Wiegand of Crow, released a Litter album, Future of the Past.
