Sebastian Grace and The Electric Insects

This week meanwhile I was watching the American version of the serie "Life On Mars", they made one episode related with this band. I quote the only decent mention I found of them:

In 1973 they released their only single "The Last Planet I kissed" which peaked at #27 on the Billboard charts, while the B-Side "Martians On My Mind" only made it as high as #137.

Soon after their album was released, the listening public universally agreed that they shouldn't have bothered and the band split with Grace, declaring that he had "gotten weird."

Sebastian spent the next year consuming massive amounts of psychedelic mushrooms and recording nature sounds for a solo album titled "Cosmic Background Radiation: Hymnals For A Rocket Girl" that was never released, but has floated through the engineering community as a bootleg described as both "ahead of it time" and "total crap" depending on the listener's state of sobriety.
