A Texas band who came from the burgeoning Houston scene in the late 60’s. The members came together (in some form or the

cult following and live dates helped make them a regional success. Along with bands like 13th Floor Elevators, Bubble Puppy,
early ZZ Top, etc. Josefus had a hard rock-psych, sort of heavy metal sound. The group recorded another album that was a
dissapointment to the band and then disbanded by the end of 1970.
The (original) band was together only one and a half years, but their music has been reissued several times over the years in
both bootleg and various authorized versions.
