Host: MalThursday
Host MalThursday brings you a combination of episodes #3 (“The Tropics Story”) and #6 (“The Painted Faces Story”) for this podcast. Produced by MalThursday and JeffMiami.
The first part was originally FRA #6, and tells the mind-bending story of Ft. Myers psychedelic pioneers Painted Faces. This is a pulse-pounding ’60s saga of big beats and broken dreams, from their first 45 ’til the drummer got his draft card…
Hope you dig it, cuz it is most wild.
THE PAINTED FACES STORY:
I Lost You in My Mind
Anxious Color
Girl, You’re Growing Up
Play With Fire
I Think I’m Going Mad
Blackhearted Susan
The second part of this podcast was originally episode #3, subtitled “The Tropics Story,” as told by Charlie Souza, who played bass in the Tropics, then went on to play with Bacchus, White Witch, Tom Petty, and now the New Tropics.
Here are the tracks:
THE TROPICS:
As Time’s Gone
I Want More
For a Long Time
Time
Tired of Waiting
Goodbye My Love
THE NEW TROPICS:
Still Get a Chill

“Still Get a Chill” is actually the Tropics, not the New Tropics. It’s the original members, from their ’99 reunion disc.

“I Lost You in My Mind” is a fantastic song. One of my favorites from that era.
