Biography at a glance: Formed in 1965 in Belmont, CA as This Side Up, the group soon became The Elastik Band. They issued the infamous 1967 single Spazz, a track that would become a Nuggets-era staple for its audacious lyrics and fuzz-driven riffs. During 1968–1969, they released regional hits such as I Would Still Love You (Arizona regional success) and Tunesmith. A shift in label direction led to the name Dangerfield. The band's legacy lives on in archival releases and retrospectives, including a 2007 compilation simply titled The Elastik Band on Digital Cellars, which brings together released and unreleased material. The core of the catalog centers on 1966–1969 singles, with ongoing discussion in Goldmine and garage-psych circles.
