The Rainy Daze

The Rainy Daze was a psychedelic pop group formed in Denver, Colorado in 1965. They were composed of singer/guitarist Tim Gilbert with his brother Kip on drums, lead guitarist Mac Ferris, bassist Sam Fuller, and keyboardist Bob Heckendorf.

The group started as a covers act, nevertheless parlaying a string of frat party gigs into a local television appearance that reportedly caught the attention of famed producer Phil Spector, who extended a management contract.

The group released an album, That Acapulco Gold, and the title song (written by Tim Gilbert and his roommate, John Carter) made it to #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1967[1] but was pulled once it was realized it was a pro-marijuana song (see Acapulco Gold).[2] Tim Gilbert was co-author with John S. Carter of the gold record / "million seller" song Incense and Peppermints (song) by Strawberry Alarm Clock.

Kip Gilbert (born Christopher Gilbert) died of cancer on December 11, 2002, at age 57.[3]

Sam Fuller (born Samuel Fuller in Denver on May 17, 1946) died of cancer on October 29, 2008, at age 62.[4]
