The Buddhas were from Bakersfield, a hundred miles north of Los Angeles in California\u2019s San Joaquin Valley. They were active in 1966-67, playing many events sponsored by the dominant \u201cboss\u201d radio station in the area, KAFY, including opening for big name acts at the Bakersfield Civic Auditorium such as the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, Jefferson Airplane and Sonny &amp; Cher. A KAFY show at the Civic on June 2, 1967 was promoted with the slogan <em>Flower Power is Coming<\/em>, and saw the Buddhas playing alongside the Avengers (of \u2018Be A Caveman\u2019 fame), the Words, the Donnybrooks, the Reptyles, and the Black Glass to raise money for the March of Dimes.<\/p>\n<p>While some of that Flower Power pollen had evidently permeated the Buddhas\u2019 sound, they remained essentially a hard-driving, dance-inducing rock \u2018n\u2019 roll band, short-haired and smartly-dressed in matching double-breasted suits. The members were Dennis Roark, Dane Nelson, Rick Starr, Larry Meadors (or Meadrows, according to the band\u2019s business card), Gary Lettiere and Larry Kirby.<\/p>\n<p>The single was recorded at Paxton\u2019s studio in the Bakersfield suburb of Oildale, and mixed in Hollywood, where the producer made good use of Capitol\u2019s fabled echo chambers. \u2018Lost Innocence\u2019 has a tight, compact arrangement, its thumping rhythm track supported by handclaps along with some heavily-reverbed backing vocals. The stinging, reverb-cloaked guitar break hits a sonic sweet spot somewhere between Drake Levin and Jorma Kaukonen. The flowery poetry of the lyrics relates a cautionary tale of teenage lust and its consequences. The outcome of this \u201cstory of short-lived glory\u201d appears to be a shotgun wedding: \u201cCause her daddy and the sheriff did both agree \u2018twas I for the blame.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the flipside, the eerie, languorous \u2018My Dream\u2019 boasts a clear, melodic lead vocal, reverb-swathed backups and plenty of tingling fuzz guitar floating through the veils of mist.<\/p>\n<p>The Buddhas disappeared into the mist soon afterwards, and their single slipped into obscurity, until Greg Shaw exhumed \u2018Lost Innocence\u2019 for inclusion on Volume 2 of Pebbles, disclosing its immense wonders to a new generation of sixties rock &amp; roll enthusiasts. Now both sides can be enjoyed on seven-inch vinyl for the first time this century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One single was all it took for the Buddhas to attain garage-psych nirvana.<\/p>\n<p>Greg Shaw exhumed \u2018Lost Innocence\u2019 for inclusion on Volume 2 of Pebbles, disclosing its immense wonders to a new generation of sixties rock &#038; roll enthusiasts.
