Sky “Sunlight” Saxon

SKY “SUNLIGHT” SAXON
 
 
Sky “Sunlight” Saxon  (August 20, 1937 – June 25, 2009) was an American rock and roll musician, best known as the leader and singer of the 1960s Los Angeles psychedelic garage rock band The Seeds.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
At about the same time that Dream Life by SS-20 was released, Sky Saxon also had an album out on Voxx Records called Private Party / Live at the Cavern Club (1986).  The band name is given as Purple Electricity, consisting of Sky “Sunlight” Saxon (vocals), Jeff McDonald (bass), Steve McDonald (guitar) – both of Redd Kross – and Brian Corrigan (drums) of the Primates.
 
In their entry on the disc SS-20 with Sky Saxon, the website www.skysaxonseeds.com/ notes:  “This EP is a very rare post-Seeds instance of Sky [Saxon] not including Sunlight in his name.”
