Title: Pushin' Too Hard Artist: The Seeds Overlooked yesterday- due to the media coverage of the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett- was the passing of Sky Saxon, the bassist and lead singer of the psychedelic garage rock icons The Seeds.. Not quite a one-hit-wonder (along with Pushin' To Hard, the band also scored a minor hit with Can't Seem To Make You Mine), the band was once touted by...

Sky Saxon, the founder of the garage band the Seeds, passed away Thursday morning at a hospital in Austin, Texas. Saxon founded the Seeds with Jan Savage, Daryl Hooper, and Rick Andridge in 1965; the band brushed the Top 40 with the above song "Can't Seem To Make You Mine" , and hit No. 36 on the charts with "Pushin' Too Hard" in 1967. The Seeds broke up in 1970, but Saxon continued to make music,...

For me, the loss of Sky "Sunlight" Saxon is the greatest loss of today. Farrah...um, I liked the other Angels. Wacko Jacko...I think once he went solo I was too old, or too rural to get his Pop. I was listening to '50s R&B as he ascended to his royal status...ANYWAYS... Sky Saxon, AKA Richard Marsh, began in the late '50s as Little Ritchie Marsh w/a handful of teener/R&B sides that effectively went...

Overshadowed by Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcet's death yesterday, a shout out to Sky Saxon is also deserved. He was the co-founder of the local garage band, The Seeds , and made the Top 40 Charts with “Can’t Seem To Make You Mine” and “Pushin’ Too Hard” in 1967. The band broke up in 1970 and Saxon recently moved to Austin where he was publishing music DIY style and playing with his new band Shapes...

The world lost a true musical maverick last night, with the death of Sky Saxon . Saxon was born with the slightly more plain name Richard Marsh at some point around the Second World War - nobody seems quite sure when. After brief spell as a doo-wop singer, Little Richie Marsh, Saxon reinvented himself as lead singer with The Seeds. Saxon was the American bridge between Sergeant Pepper and US punk,...

The Seeds were hippies. But they also had an raw edge to their music that influenced garage bands and punk. Their lead singer Sky Saxon died today in Austin. Pushing Too Hard was a major hit and remains a classic. Lots of celebs dying, aren’t there? What can one say about Michael Jackson? Seems a tortured [...]

In all the Farrah-Jacko mania you might have missed the passing of Sky Saxon of the Seeds. They made some great records-- Pushin' Too Hard, Can't Seem To Make You Mine, etc. In fact their first two LP's: The Seeds and Web Of Sound (GNP Crescendo) are great, as their fake live LP Raw & Alive and the collection of outtakes issued in '77: Fallin' Off The Edge Of The World. I know the Doors totally modeled...

"Before Green Day, before Casualties, before Black Flag, before The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones. Before even The New York Dolls and The Stooges, there was The Seeds." Having nothing to say about Michael Jackson that someone, somewhere hasn't already said, I decided to note the passing of Sky Saxon, front man for the seminal garage/proto-punk band The Seeds, who also died last Thursday in Austin,...

What a totally insane last few days it's been. First, Johnny Carson's right hand man Ed McMahon passes on , then today comes news that... Michael Jackson has died at age 50. You can't deny that he was a singular talent, which made it so baffling and sad when his own personal freak show began in the 80's in the wake of his mega-success via the Thriller album. I must admit that I wasn't especially a...

As this blog entry was input, we lost another, not-quite-well-known talent - Sky Saxon of the 1960's punk group the Seeds.
