Psych Prog band. Could also easily fit Proto-Prog.

Seems a reasonable suggestion to me (probably in Proto - both their albums were released in 1968). Thumbs Up

Nice music leaning towards droning and space rock. I like the eclective, percussive nature of the first track with woodwind. "Baby please don't go" of course is a blues cover - strectched over 15 minutes and nothing more.
 
Their two albums should definitely be investigated in more detail before possibly adding them to space rock or proto-prog.

I've always thought of them more as a garage band with psychedelic tendencies.  Part of the same Boston scene as Ultimate Spinach, who is on PA, so they might have a shot.

Psych it is, but prog it is not. Like I said before, I'm sure they could at least get to a vote for proto, so try asking a SC to sponsor it.

Quite a relevant suggestion for me. Proto-prog is the way ! The band can be firstly seen as a standard pop ensemble but ther music goes a step further thanks to the add of inspired orchestral arrangements / incredibly stunning soloing guitars for this period. Any opinion ?

Depends of the issue but If needed I can lead the addition.

I agree wholeheartedly with you Philippe. 
I think they deserve to be in Proto too.
