SUGARLOAF
Sugarloaf was an American rock band in the 1970s. The band, which originated in Denver, Colorado, scored two Top 10 hits, with the singles “Green-Eyed Lady” and “Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You”. (More from Wikipedia)
One of the bandmembers in Beast, Bob Yeazel (who also runs the website) had been a member of the legendary West Coast Pop Art Expermental Band a few months earlier, and he later joined Sugarloaf (“Green Eyed Lady”, “Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You”).

Yet another band on the 10th Pebbles album, the Moonrakers featured members of the later band Sugarloaf that had two hit songs in the 1970’s: “Green Eyed Lady” (1970) that I simply loved back in my college days (there is a “long version” on their album, as well as the short version that is all they play anymore on the radio); and “Don’t Call Us, We’ll Call You” (1975). The latter song was aimed at CBS Records (a/k/a Columbia Records) after they turned down Sugarloaf for a recording contract; in retaliation, the band included toward the end of the song the touch tones for an unlisted telephone number at the record company, plus those of a public number at the White House.
