Now I know why I’d never heard them before . . .

“Now I know why I’d never heard them before . . .”
They had one national hit:
THE SEEDS -PUSHIN’TOO HARD

The Seeds
The Seeds’ first single “Can’t Seem to Make You Mine” was a regional hit in southern California in 1965. The song was also played regularly on AM rock stations in northern California (and probably elsewhere), where it was well received by listeners. The band had their only national Top 40 hit, “Pushin’ Too Hard”, in 1966. Three subsequent singles, “Mr. Farmer” (also 1966), a re-release of “Can’t Seem To Make You Mine” (1967), and “A Thousand Shadows” (1967) achieved more modest success, although all were most popular in southern California. Musically uncomplicated and dominated by Saxon’s vocal style and flair for simple melodic hooks, their first two albums are today considered classics of ‘60s garage music. A later album (Future, 1967) was full-blown psychedelic rock, with ornate flower-themed graphics to match, and another was devoted to the blues (with liner notes by Muddy Waters).

That wasn’t the same band. Saxon was there, but it wasn’t the same band as far as I know. Hence, the different name.
Like many bands they evolved their music as their band members and band names changed. Wikipedia:
By mid-1968, with their commercial popularity flagging, the group’s personnel began to change; the band was renamed “Sky Saxon and the Seeds” in 1969, by which point Bob Norsoph, guitar, and Don Boomer, drums, had replaced Savage and Andridge. Saxon continued to use the name “The Seeds”, using various backup musicians, at least through 1972; the last major-label records of new material by The Seeds—two non-charting singles on MGM records—were released in 1970.
After the dissolution of the Seeds, Sky Saxon joined the Yahowha religious group,....

OMG..that looks like Lynn-Dah-The-Dog!
I had no idea she was playing my guitars when I was out of the house.
I have no idea who the terrier is. She must be having a secret affair.
Odd bit of trivia. He died (1st if I recall) the same day as Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.
Jack Nicholson and the Seeds in Psych-Out.
The Seeds were part of the 60s Sunset Strip scene.
