The Troll

[Hammy]

This band was from the Chicago area in the 60's. They released one album in 1968. Their sound was heavy psyche. They didn't get much attention back in the day, and you will see why when you give them a listen. The music is raw and unpolished, but not that different than what Iron Butterfly put out in the same year. Today, this type stuff is priceless. It's hard to find much about them on the internet, but I will do my best.

I was curious about where in the Chicago area these guys were from, (since the Chicago area is my neck of the woods) not much info out there on them.

Are you from the Chicago area Hammy? Would you happen to know if these guys hail from the burbs?, or from downtown Chi town?
