No, it doesn't sound right to me... I thought that the Wipers were from
Portland, Oregon.

As to other fave psych and neo-psych bands.  I really like the Pandora's
two albums--though last time I saw them (post-Elektra signing), they played
almost entirely new material, and it all sounded fairly mediocre.

The Delmonas 5 have a cool LP out, as do an Italian group named "Four By
Art."

There's also a ridiculous amount of reissue stuff out there.  The entire
13th Floor Elevator catalogue is out.  I've also seen copies of the Red
Crayola's "Parable of Arable Land" floating around (used copies of the
1979-ish Radar reissue).  Another excellent buy is the imprort reissue
of the Human Beinz second album "Evolutions."  There's also about a
hundred-thousand compilations (42,000 volumes of the Pebbles series alone),
much of it good, some of it mediocre.  Two good comps that have come out
in the past couple of years are the History of Vanouver Rock Vols. 1 & 2.
