The Fraternity Of Man

The Fraternity Of Man

The Fraternity Of Man has been played on NTS in shows including Gilded Sound Reflection, featured first on 17 March 2018. Songs played include Don't Bogart Me and Don't Bogart That Joint.

The Fraternity of Man is an American blues rock and psychedelic rock group from the 1960s. They are most famous for their 1968 song "Don't Bogart Me" which was featured in the 1969 road movie Easy Rider. Later famously covered by Little Feat

The Fraterity of Man evolved from a folk rock group called The Factory which Lowell George started in '65 with his friend and drummer Richard Hayward (future CSNer Dallas Taylor was in it first, but got sick). They cut a few sides for Frank Zappa who George had met at a talent show years before. The Factory released at least two 45s for Uni in 1966 and '67, including one where they’re jamming with microtonal magician Emil Richards. (You can find these four sides plus 11 other demos and never-released recordings on a CD called Lightning-Rod Man).

At times they echo Kaleidoscope in their vaguely spacey, good-natured folkish rock; just as often, they take cues from Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa in their skewed blues-rock and obtuse songwriting (in fact one song, “Lightning Rod Man,” has even turned up on bootlegs as a lost Beefheart gem).”

Soon thereafter The Factory fell apart, or in reality sort of metamorphosed into The Fraternity of Man, a very odd band who were best known for their jokey "Don't Bogart Me" on the Easy Rider soundtrack. The group featured Elliott Ingber (later “Winged Eel Fingerling” of Captain Beefheart-fame). The Fraternity of Man cut two albums, although George’s involvement was sporadic.
