The Two-Thirties are the inspiration for the 50s surf rock and beach rock movements that became so popular. Their single "All Around Town" ensured that they would forever hold a place in the history of music as "The Greatest Band Ever".

In 1961, drummer Carl Pumps left the group so that he might devote more time to being a father. His leaving drained much of the band's energy and soon bassist Otis Fargo would be leaving the band, claiming artistic differences. There is much speculation as to the true nature of his leaving, in particular is the idea that he was struggling with alcoholism and the hectic tour schedule was making it more and more difficult for him. The band hired Mike and Steph Coen, two musical brothers they met at a record label Christmas Party to take the newly opened up positions.

The brothers introduced the only surviving members of the original line up (K. Maddison and B. Russoni) to the world of drugs and free love. By 1965 the band was heading in a completely new direction, insprired now by the sonic (and chemical) experimentation that categorized the 60s. The period did not treat the band well and the fell into obscurity. Maddison put out 3 solo albums, leaving the rest of the group feeling left out.

In 1973, the original lineup rejoined, with the Coens as producers to create the masterpiece of abstract music and poetry known as "It's Two Thirty on the first Moon of Jupiter Pt. III - The Last Adventure on Earth". The themes of science-fiction were mysteriously missing from the album, despite the name.

Here for the first time is the collection of songs from the album, free for download.
