Guitarist
Michael Yonkers formed his own Michael Yonkers Band in Minneapolis in 1967,
at about the same time that Hendrix was forming his Experience.
The album recorded in 1968, Microminiature Love
(1969 - Destijl, 2002 - Subpop, 2003), his artistic peak, ran the gamut of the era's styles, from
Jefferson Airplane-ish acid-rock (Jasontown)
to voodoo-blues (Boy In The Sandbox, Smile Awhile).
Free Flight (Get Hip, 1997) collects unreleased recordings from 1964 to 1969.
Yonkers recorded a few solo records and collaborations before he broke his back
in 1971. All those albums were released years after they had been recorded:
the acoustic, folkish Grimwood (1974 - De Stijl, 2007), recorded in 1969,
Michael Lee Yonkers (1974), recorded in 1972,
Goodby Sunball (1974), recorded in 1973,
Borders of my Mind (1974),
Thy Will Be Done (1976).
After a quarter of a century, Michael Yonkers returned with
It's Only Yonkers (Galactic Zoo Disk, 2004).
Carbohydrates Hydrocarbons (Go Johnny Go, 2007) paired him with
the Blind Shake for a session of distorted garage-rock.
