The Third Bardo was a short-lived American psychedelic and garage rock band from New York City, active in 1967. Their name references the Tibetan Book of the Dead. They are best known for their single "I'm Five Years Ahead of My Time," co-written by Rusty Evans and Vicky Pike, which has become a 1960s garage rock classic. The band's unique sound featured Eastern melodies and distorted guitar techniques. Despite their brief existence, their music has influenced many and remains a significant part of the psychedelic rock genre.
