Information About

Pearls Before Swine (band)




Pearls Before Swine was an American Psychedelic folk band formed by Tom Rapp in 1965 in Melbourne, Florida . The group signed to ESP-Disk and recorded '' One Nation Underground '', a fairly successful release that was followed by the anti-war '' Balaklava '' ( 1968 ). In the next few years, Rapp often referred onstage, not quite seriously, to the group as "the house band for the SDS ." They continued to release albums and to tour until the 1970s , but Rapp retired in 1973 and became a lawyer practicing in western Pennsylvania . He re-appeared in 1998 at Terrastock , a Music Festival in Providence, Rhode Island , with his son's band, Shy Camp, and began recording again with 1999 's '' A Journal Of The Plague Year ''.
