James Lowe is the lead singer and guitarist of The Electric Prunes, a psychedelic rock band from Los Angeles famous for its 1966 hit: “I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night).”  

The group’s music was sometimes weird, but I found James to be an easygoing, down-to-earth guy with a great sense of humor.

  • How he got started in music

  • How the group was discovered.
  • The recording of "I Had Too Much Too Dream." 
  • Why he left the group.
  • What he's done since.
  • And...much more!
