Formed in San Francisco in the late 1960s, Fifty Foot Hose were pioneers of experimental rock who fused psychedelic sounds with early electronic music. Led by bassist and inventor Louis “Cork” Marcheschi, alongside Nancy Blossom and David Blossom, the group created a groundbreaking sonic palette using theremins, oscillators, and custom-built instruments. Their 1967 album *Cauldron* became a cult favorite, influencing later generations of avant‑garde, electronic, and post‑punk artists who admired their fearless blending of rock’s organic energy with futuristic sound exploration.
