This Can't Be Real - The Mandrake Memorial

The Mandrake Memorial was a U.S. band. It began life as a New York City band called The Novae Police, featuring Kevin Lally and Randy Monaco. They played in the Village for a while, opening for bands like The Flying Police (featuring James Taylor), while Monaco was also doing a lot of demo work, singing on the first demo of "Happy Together" which The Turtles later recorded. Meanwhile, guitarist Craig Anderton was playing in a college band from the University of Pennsylvania called The Flowers of Evil, who played shows with Woody's Truck Stop (Todd Rundgren's first band).
