Add to your blender one pint of Booneâs Farm wine, sprinkle in the best of 60s rock, then frappe, Baby. Thatâs The Righteous Kind! Critics say their debut CD âSome Are of Loveâ is like time and sonic travel. Letâs us take YOU there!

"The tendency in all revivalism is to miss the mark, but a good portion of their work seems as though it may have been done in the era," writes Kyle Mitchell of the Gainesville Sun.

"Their music is influenced by the catchy pop sounds of The Beatles and the rhythmâheavy notes of The Rolling Stones," says Bailey Parke of the Independent Florida Alligator.

Bailey describes a Righteous Kind show this way, "An older gentleman with long white hair and a long white beard to match wandered through the crowd, and a younger twentyâsomethingâyearâold man in tight pants and Converse sneakers rocked his head as he yelled to his friend, âI love this band!â

Mitchell writes, âthe attitude of just letting loose and having a few laughs is ever-present, so don't hold back thinking it's hokey or you'll miss the whole thing.â

Press Release, August 6, 2007. The Justice Department today disclosed that Gainesville, Florida, long known as a center for the alternative lifestyles that defined the Sixties, provided a haven for four influential personalities from that era, each long thought to be dead. Astonishingly each, unknown to the others, had lived under an assumed identity for decades, and only realized the similarity of their situations after joining a band devoted to playing Sixties music. The disclosure is the result of monthsâ of negotiation between law enforcement officials and Charles Ray, Slam Gunther, Larry California and B. Burrhus Bran, now members of the band The Righteous Kind. âWe felt that we could not make this music unless we were honest about who we really were,â Ray said.

Of the band, the disappearance of Charles Ray is the most famous. In June, 1968, Rayâs band, Charles Ray and the Ravers, had both the number one album âRavelations!â and the number one single, âRighteous Man,â in the country. Ray appeared to be at the beginning of a long music career. Unknown to even his closest friends, Ray was already planning his exit. On August 18, 1968, Ray staged his own death. âIt was so easy! I had a fancy Porsche. I put some of my clothes and some drugs in the back seat and pushed it over a cliff on the PCH. The Malibu cops assumed that I was high and naked, and that was it,â Ray said. âI had had enough. I just walked away from the whole thing.â

Ray, who had never attended college, enrolled under the name of Charles R. Martin, ultimately receiving a PhD in Chemistry and going on to a distinguished career in academia. Recently, that has not been enough. âWar! Intolerance! The same damn things we protested in the Sixties! I knew it was time to put a new band together and take a second shot at spreading the message through my music.â

In a series strange coincidences, each of the musicians Ray contacted had also abandoned Sixties celebrity and was living under an assumed identity. The artist/bassist Tom Miller was in fact Fritz Schlager âSlamâ Gunther, German artistâprovocateur, best known as the creative force behind the controversial LA band Squatting Dogs. When the bandsâ explicit anti-war message became the focus of an FBI investigation, Gunther, who was also sought by German authorities, went underground.

Larry Thompson, the Righteous Kindâs drummer, was actually Larry California, one of the most respected drummers of the Sixties and a member of the supergroup, Circus McGurkus. California was forced to change his identity following several public indecency arrests with the 17 year old daughter of a powerful state official with apparent ties to organized crime. Organist B. Bruce Brashear was actually the controversial philosopher Prof. B. Burrhus Bran, best known as the author of Translating the Universe, condescendingly referred to in the Sixties as âThe Hippieâs Bible.â Bran, a reluctant guru, dropped out to find the peace and calm he needed to complete his philosophical works. âI left it to Tim Leary to take the heat,â Bran said.

After the band began practicing, it was not long before they learned of each otherâs past. They ultimately contacted the Department of Justice. DOJ representatives were initially skeptical. âWe thought the whole thing was some kind of publicity stunt, but we investigated each story. As strange as it first appeared, we found all of it to be true,â said Tess Tracy, the assistant district attorney assigned to the case. All charges in the U.S. and Germany have been officially dropped.
