Background:

Thee Dark Ages was a '60s/'70s band started by former members of the Jesters, including future Beat Farmer guitarist Jerry Raney and guitarist/bassist Jerry Butler. They reportedly played a lot of British music, as well as the complete Forever Changes album by Arthur Lee and Love.

Future rock critic Lester Bangs would sometimes sit in with the band.
