I'm Roy Brooks and I play guitar.  When I book a gig Quah is the band name I go with.  It's usually a trio.  And we play improvisational psychedelic music as well as a few instrumentals similar to what you hear on "Vernon's Love Theme".  We are not an entirely instrumental band though.  I sing.  Besides my own tunes Quah does a few select covers by the Meat Puppets, Butthole Surfers, and Folk Implosion.  And we play as many space jams as we can get away with.
