The Misunderstood were a psychedelic rock band originating from Riverside, California in the mid-1960s. They moved to London in 1966, with the assistance of their manager, John Peel, who would later gain fame as an influential BBC Radio DJ.

  • The Misunderstood were a psychedelic rock band originating from Riverside, California in the mid-1960s. They moved to London in 1966, with the assistance of their manager, John Peel, who would later gain fame as an influential BBC Radio DJ. In UK they recruited Englishman Tony Hill on guitar, thus forming an international rock-music group, preceding Hendrix. Fontana Record's PR launch and glowing media reviews made commercial success certain, but the group was suddenly forced to disband when the lead singer got drafted into the Vietnam war. They had only recorded 7 tracks in London, all of which are considered classics. “The Misunderstood were one of the most innovative and enigmatic bands of the Sixties and one of the psychedelic era’s best loved groups. ” Recently Goran Obradovic of POPISM radio wrote about the Misunderstood, "(they) were way ahead of their time, practically inventing the psych genre. " In September 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine called them, "the American Yardbirds".
  • The Misunderstood est un groupe de rock psychédélique des années 1960. Originaire de Californie, il débute comme un groupe de garage rock classique, avec une combinaison de R'n'B et de rock qui évolue vers un son plus psychédélique avec l'arrivée de Glen Campbell. Le son du groupe se rapproche alors de celui des Yardbirds. Les Misunderstood quittent la Californie pour l'Angleterre en 1966, en quête d'un public plus réceptif, sous l'impulsion de leur manager, John Peel. Là, ils embauchent le guitariste Tony Hill et sortent deux singles, loués par la critique britannique, mais le groupe se dissout au début de l'année 1967. Il a acquis une renommée posthume importante, notamment grâce à la réédition de leurs titres au début des années 1980.
