More "Baltimore's Teenbeat A Go Go" awesomeness right here from the wylde band who did "A Third Hour On Forty Eleventh Street", the second most brutal cut on the aforementioned '66 Dome label comp
The first shot was taken by the time when they'd changed their name to the more heavy sounding Rysing Sun. Under that singular name in 1968 they cut a micro-press/self-released demo 7", "I Wanna Know" b/w "Revelations", an awesome trippy garage psych blast. 10 copies or less exist of it and (that i know of) it's nowhere on the Tube...
The second shot is from a few months earlier and is actually a photo copy* of a photo, but imho it still looks really cool, almost has that "solarized" type look a 'la Blue Cheer's first alb cover, the 'Music From Merkin Manor' l.p. cover, those psychedelic photo posters of all the four Beatles, etc.
Back in the 90's when I was planning on printing up a physical fanzine all about DelMarVa garage this first photo was gonna be the main image for the cover art. Big shout out and thanx to lead Rysing Sun snarler Dave Collins for hookin me up with these
In the first photo, The Rysing Sun performing live at Baltimore's Patapsco High School in late 1967: left to right, Tommy Goldsborough, Dave Collins, Frank Cantazeritti, and Sid Kramer (out of frame are Ken "Fitz" Fitzgerald and Steve Boyle who are both probably just to the left of the drummer)
In the second photo, left to right: bassist Ken "Fitz" Fitzgerald, rhythm guitarist Sid Kramer, singer Dave Collins, drummer Tommy Goldsborough, lead guitarist Frank Cantazeritti, keyboardist Steve Boyle
* Dave Collins made the photo copy himself; he tried to get the original of photo 2 from a deceased band mate's family but they're hoarding it for some unknown reason
