Band
The Initial Shock
Originally formed in 1966 as The Chosen Few, The Initial Shock was a psychedelic rock band from Missoula, Montana. Composed of members from Missoula bands Mojo’s Mark IV and The Vulcans, the band changed its name to The Initial Shock in 1967, moving to San Francisco that same year.
Often billed as simply “Initial Shock”, the band only produced two records during their incredible time together as a band. “Mind Disaster” b/w “It’s Not Easy” and “You’ve Been a Long time Coming” backed with “I Once Asked”. Both were regional hits in the western USA and also in the Top 10 Southern Survey where the lead singer, Mojo Collins was, and still is from. Members of the band included Mojo Collins, (guitar, lead vocals), Brian Knaff, (drums, vocals), George F. Wallace, (lead guitar), Steve Garr, (bass) and George A. Crowe (road manager).
