Dandelion is an alternative rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania formed in 1989 by vocalist/guitarist Kevin Morpurgo, bassist Mike Morpurgo, guitarist Carl Hinds and drummer Dante Cimino. With the exception of Bayen Butler in 1993 as an additional guitarist, the band were able to establish themselves as champions of the heavy neo-psychedelic sound. Corralling like-minded bands like "Trip 66", "Godpocket", "Sweet Pussy", and "Zen Guerilla" into their loud corner helped develop a scene.

  • Dandelion is an alternative rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania formed in 1989 by vocalist/guitarist Kevin Morpurgo, bassist Mike Morpurgo, guitarist Carl Hinds and drummer Dante Cimino. With the exception of Bayen Butler in 1993 as an additional guitarist, the band were able to establish themselves as champions of the heavy neo-psychedelic sound. Corralling like-minded bands like "Trip 66", "Godpocket", "Sweet Pussy", and "Zen Guerilla" into their loud corner helped develop a scene. In 1990, Dandelion recorded a demo tape called "Silver" which featured the songs "The Trip", "Tuesday", and "Snakebelly". It was reviewed by CMJ magazine and received a Jackpot pick, as of that time only the 2nd demo to receive the honor. The tape was then sent out to numerous local record companies in 1991. Its strong songwriting and heavy groove eventually attracted the attention of Ruffhouse Records, a label based in nearby Conshohocken and home to various hip-hop groups including The Goats, Cypress Hill, Schoolly D and The Fugees. The song "Waiting for A Ride" was released as a single the following year. They also released two full length albums: I Think I'm Gonna Be Sick (Columbia/Ruffhouse in 1993, and Dyslexicon in 1995.
