The neo-psychedelic quartet Baby Lemonade formed in Los Angeles, and debuted in 1994 with the six-song Wonderful EP, released on the Sympathy for the Record Industry label. Following the records release, the band — comprised of singer/guitarist Rusty Squeezebox, guitarist Mike Randle, bassist Dave Chapple and drummer David Daddy-O Green — accepted an invitation to tour with Arthur Lee in a reunited version of his legendary band Love; a flurry of major label interest followed, but in the end Baby Lemonade remained with Sympathy, for whom they recorded 1996s full-length 68% Pure Imagination. Exploring Music, their first record for the Big Deal label, followed two years later and High Life Suite was released in mid-2000.
