Giant Crab

Psychedelic band from Santa Barbara, California, USA, 1960s.
The first Giant Crab single was a Corby Productions release recorded by Ernie & The Emperors were recruited to take over the name. They then released a string of singles and two LPs in quick succession, quickly gaining a reputation as a hard rocking band. Where the Emperors were best known for their live stage shows, the Giant Crab were known for their records.
In 1969, Ernie, Cory, and Brian teamed up with Steve Dunwoodie to tour the southeastern United States as Big Brother Ernie Joseph, a significantly heavier-sounding band.
