In an effort to gain press attention, the original record company created a fictional story that Frank Marino, prior to starting the band, had spent time in a mental institution after taking LSD and was visited by Jimi Hendrix in a vision. This gave him his inspiration to play as he did on the first album which very closely mirrored the style of Jimi Hendrix. By the time the third album, "Strange Universe" was recorded, this approach to filling the public desire to purchase newer Jimi Hendrix-styled music had been perfected.
If you can't be a politician, be a record company A&R man.

I heard them when they were active in the mid 70's. They were pretty good, got some airplay, but faced an explosion of artists around that time. The second wave of the British Invasion was hot and heavy and the record companies were promoting them at the time.
