The Misunderstood were a  band originating from  in the mid-1960s. The band moved to London early in their career, and although they recorded only a handful of songs before being forced to disband, they are considered highly influential in the then-emerging genre.

 magazine, in their September 2004 review, wrote, "The saga of the Misunderstood is one of the most unbelievable, heartbreaking, and unlikely stories in the entire history of rock."

 magazine's June 2010 issue stated, "The truth is that this band (The Misunderstood) were so far out on their own, so individual and innovative that you can only wonder at the set of circumstances that conspired to prevent them from becoming the iconic name that was surely their destiny."

History[]

The band began in 1963 as one of many garage bands formed in the US in the wake of the . They moved to  in 1966, with the assistance of their , , who would later gain fame as an influential  DJ. In UK they recruited Englishman Tony Hill on rhythm guitar. Hill and singer  formed a team. Bass player Steve Whiting was also involved in developing material for the band.

The band was influenced by and often compared to . Distinctive features of the band's sound included the of  and the innovative style of Whiting, known for his use of , fuzz tone and distortion.

 introduced the band with a 4-song live performance in London's Philips Studios. British media response was positive, but at this juncture it was decided that Campbell, Whiting, and Moe should go to Europe to sort out their British visas and work permits, while Brown returned to California for his .

In London they released their second , "", before being forced to disband. They had only recorded seven tracks in London.

In spite of their relatively small output, many  consider them to be influential pioneers of the  style of . Head Heritage Magazine, in a 2006 review wrote, "The Misunderstood’s material extended far beyond the reach of the period in which it was conceived. The extraordinarily advanced tracks on side one from 1966 reveal them as one of the earliest and most original probes into ."

John Peel[]

British DJ  championed the Misunderstood music throughout his entire career. Shortly before his death, in an interview with , Peel stated, "If I had to list the ten greatest performances I've seen in my life, one would be The Misunderstood at , Hollywood, 1966. My god, they were a great band!"

Visual feedback[]

The band are known for having pioneered the live light show. Campbell initially soldered a guitar jack to a car light bulb and plugged this into the extension output behind each amp. This simple idea produced visual music, as the response between the guitars and the lights plugged into the amps was identical. They first showed this feature at the Hi Ho Club in Riverside in early 1966. They also played with lights at the  in London in mid 1966. An advanced, multicolored, large scale version of this ""[] or "visual sound" system was being planned in London when the band were forced to retire. Another feature of their visuals was getting all three guitars  using different tremolo settings, thereby leaving the stage flashing with musical lights.

Later period[]

Glenn Ross Campbell went on to , while Tony Hill formed  and recorded a solo album titled Inexactness.

In 1982, Glenn Ross Campbell and Rick Brown, reunited as "Influence" and recorded two self-penned tracks, "No Survivors" and "Queen of Madness", for UK's  in 1983. They disbanded in 1985 when Campbell moved to New Zealand and Brown moved to Thailand.

 (UK) released three albums of Misunderstood music, viz., Before the Dream Faded (BRED 32) in 1982, The Legendary Goldstar Album (CDM RED 142) in 1997, and a full album of The Misunderstood's later material under the name of The Misunderstood: Broken Road (CDM RED 147) in 1998.

In 2004,  Records (USA) issued another full album of previously unreleased tracks named The Lost Acetates 1965-1966, that received International media coverage.

A motion picture screen play (The Misunderstood: WGA 977444) about the band and Brown's adventures was written by the rock historian, Mike Stax (Editor of  magazine) in 2002, and is under revision.

A novel: Like, Misunderstood - based on the script was published in October 2007.

Musical recognition[] In his "Peelenium" (Greatest Songs of the 20th Century)  lists the band's song, "I Can Take You To The Sun" for 1966. "I Can Take You To The Sun" appears as number 6 in  magazine's book, "100 Greatest Psychedelic Records", a list in chronological order.  April 2009 - "I Can See For Miles: A-Z" lists The Misunderstood for "M". June 11, 2010, Classic Rock named The Misunderstood as No. 18 in their list of "Cult Heroes".
