Iron Butterfly
Iron Butterfly is an American
hard rock and
psychedelic band, best known for their sole hit
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. The members are Doug Ingle (key-b), Lee Dorman (bass guitar), Ron Bushy (drums) and Erik Brann (guitar). The band was formed in
1966 in
San Diego and released their debut album,
Heavy, in
1968. The 17-minute In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida from their second album of the same name became a huge hit that spent over a year in the Top Ten. The follow-up,
Ball, was less successful, and the band broke up in
1971.
