The band screaming gipsy bandits formed in Bloomington, Indiana. They released two albums: IN THE EYE 1973 and THE DANCER INSIDE YOU 1974. More progressive than psychedelic, the first album is worth seeking out but the best tracks are the folky ones with soft female vocals like Junior, All This Waiting, Path Of Light and White Teeth. When the violin's in evidence they sound a little like the U.K. band Curved Air. The more upbeat cuts, like the title track and Prematurely (Fly Me Away), just don't come off so well. The album was recorded at Jack Gilfoy Studios in Bloomington, Indiana, which is where the band were from. At the time, columnist and Bloomington resident Michael Bourne gave them a very favorable review in Downbeat Magazine, which was their only brush with national exposure.
