	2011<ref>''[[God Bless the Red Krayola and All Who Sail With It]]'' 2011 reissue booklet</ref><blockquote>On 3rd June 1967 the Red Crayola played the opening night of Houston's new psychedelic club ''Love Street Light Circus and Feel Good Machine'' along with Fever Tree and the Starvation Army Band. By this stage the band had long abandoned performing anything that resembled a song. They'd dropped the traditional band line up of guitar, bass and drums and instead of the trio consisting of Mayo Thompson, Steve Cunningham and Rick Barthelme "played" a series of clarinets, trumpets, feedback, razor blades on cymbals, phonograph turntable tape loops and even a sheet of metal underneath a block of ice...		2011<ref>''[[God Bless the Red Krayola and All Who Sail With It]]'' 2011 reissue booklet</ref>

	As Mayo recalled in 1978, "''When Love Street opened its doors for the first time, they (Crayola) played deafening noise and cleared the club of well wishers''". The owner Cliff Carlin was apparently horrified when they rolled a big rock on stage and beat on it. Although he had to admit that they passed as entertaining, they were terrible for the opening of his club. Love Street like the other psychedelic rock clubs in town, The Living Eye and The Catacombs, refused to give them a repeat booking...</blockquote>		<blockquote>

	<ref>Houston Reflections: Art in the City, 1950s, 60s and 70s</ref><blockquote>I opened Love Street Light Circus and Feel Good Machine in '67—it was the hottest psychedelic club in town. It was down on Allen's Landing in an old white building; a night spot for kids. It was a big room with giant mattresses and hundreds of colored pillows, and everyone would lie horizontal looking at the light show. This was the same year that the whole thing started in San Francisco with the Philmore Auditorium. . .I was out there that New Year's Eve of '66 and just fell in love with that projected light of psychedelic light shows. It was the hottest thing going—it went wildly one summer and we tried to stay open through the next year, but the following summer I opened one just like it in San Antonio for the Hemisfair '68 expo, and it failed. The first band we had in Houston was called The Red Crayola and they were just a bunch of kids from Rice, but we had some of the big bands. Anyone who got close to it will never forget it. There are people I have run into today who remember.</blockquote>		<ref>Houston Reflections: Art in the City, 1950s, 60s and 70s</ref><blockquote>I opened Love Street Light Circus and Feel Good Machine in '67—it was the hottest psychedelic club in town.
