Whatever happened to the Spree?

Stumbled upon the glorious Polyphonic Spree this morning. What an awesome uplifting, joyous sound, especially Soldier Girl.

It is one of my fantasies that if time travel were ever possible I would choose to be part of Ken and his Merry Pranksters touring and tripping across sixties America in that fabulous psychedelic magic bus of theirs.

The other period I would rush to would be la Belle Epoque, the Paris of Toulouse, Moulin Rouge and of course the genuine green fairy.

Where does my mind wander?
