The Mourning Reign were San Jose based sixties-era garage rockers. Their sound echoes bands like The Yardbirds, The Byrds, and by no coincidence The Chocolate Watchband and The Harbinger Complex - two bands with which they often shared the stage. The band's short-lived success can be attributed to several of the members being drafted to the Vietnam War. The fuzzy guitars, vocal harmonies, and jangly solos craft quintessential 1960s psychedelic pop songs.
Members: Charlie Gardin, Craig Maggi, Frank Maggi, Rick Keefer, Steve Canali
