History[]
Kak - Kak Ola (1969) Full Album
Kak was formed by Gary Lee Yoder and Dehner Patten upon the dissolution of The Oxford Circle in 1968, working with Christopher Lockheed (Goose Creek Symphony, Randy Holden) and Joseph Damrell. The band produced a self-titled record for Epic Records, with a sound drawing inspiration from the likes of Donovan and Quicksilver Messenger Service. However Kak would disband with Yoder and Patten both joining Blue Cheer in the midst of their commercial rock era.
In 1999, Kak would be reissued on CD as Kak-ola with a host of unreleased demos and Gary Lee Yoder solo recordings that featured Paul Whaley on drums.
