" For the music is your only friend... until THE END! " (When The Music's Over, The Doors, 1967) |
|
"Take three parts Doors, add two parts Led Zeppelin and one part Pink
Floyd, throw in a pinch of punk and a dash of blues, garnish with magic
mushrooms, serve hot, wash it all down with a beer… and you’ve got THE END." (T. Lewis, fan) |
|
"Psychedelic isn’t just colors, clothes and pharmaceuticals – it’s a state
of mind, and one that comes naturally to these guys. Few bands would even think of
making a medley out of ‘Light My Fire’ and ‘Jabberwocky,’ yet THE END does it so
smoothly that you would have thought Jim Morrison and Lewis Carroll co-wrote the
song while smoking opium together." (D. Thompson, Spin-up Magazine) |

Welcome to THE END's official web site. Based in the Washington DC area, THE END
is a band best known for playing Doors covers, sixties songs, and original music
that sounds like the Doors. After being inactive for years, THE END reunited
to bring their apocalyptic brand of acid rock back for a new millenium.
THE END approaches music as if time stopped around 1972. Come take a trip
with us... back to the psychedelic sixties. This is THE END! |

| There was a
THE END reunion
of sorts on June 2, 2007! Scott and Ray played two sets of THE END material
at a private party at Saguaro Sounds in Tucson, Arizona. This was the first
time that two-thirds of the band had been together in nearly a year, and it was
the westernmost gig ever played by THE END. Unfortunately, no one thought to
take pictures of this special show, but the mere fact that it happened at all provides
hope that there could be more THE END reunions in the future. |
