Biography

American psychedelic rock band from San Francisco, CA. During the late 1960s, the band (along with [a246650]) epitomized San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury culture. The band began in 1965 when singer [a399028] met guitarist [a362004]. They began as a folk-rock group, added lead guitarist [a361998], drummer [a499363], singer [a1198456], and bassist [a2550313], who was soon replaced by [a362002]. The group was signed by [l11358], and their debut album charted (#128), selling 10,000 copies in the San Francisco area. Anderson left to have a baby and was replaced by [a346261], Spence left to form [a350475] and was replaced by [a399027], which began the group's definitive lineup. They performed at the Woodstock and Altamont festivals but then had its second major shakeup when Dryden left in 1970 to join [a476171] (he was replaced by [a361991]), and the band stopped touring when Slick became pregnant by Kantner. Kaukonen and Casady formed [a381929] In 1971, but remained members of the Airplane. The same year the group formed its own label, [l982249], distributed by RCA. In February 1974 Slick and Kantner officially formed the [a131970], which brought the original phase of the group to a close. The band was inducted into Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 as a Performer.
