A five piece (Bob August, Robert Butera, Gary Grappone, Lenny Messina and Vincent Nappi), their 1968 debut "Doing Their Love Thing" was produced by Lewis Merenstein. Largely written by composer/arranger Larry Fallon, the set offered up a weird combination of pop psych (the Association-styled "God's Gifts", "Tears, Idle Tears" and "Red, Red Rose") and psych moves ("She Walks in Beauty"). .

Nickel Eye is the solo project of The Strokes' bassist Nikolai Fraiture. The band consists of Nikolai Fraiture (guitar, vocals, electric bass, double bass, harmonica), Joel Cadbury (steel guitar), Jamie McDonald (guitar) and Brett Shaw (drums). Their debut album, 'The Time of the Assassins', out January 27 via Rykodisc, is a "pretty stripped down" collection of guitar, bass, drums, and a touch of mellotron. And its standout track, "Providence, RI," sees Fraiture's songwriting chops surface as he recalls childhood memories to a head-bobbing melody. www.myspace.com/officialnickeleye .
