Frumious Bandersnatch was an American psychedelic rock band active in the 1960s. It was named after a character from the Lewis Carroll poem "Jabberwocky". Based in Berkeley, California,[1] the band was active from 1967 to 1969. Their initial three-song EP produced a minor underground hit with the song "Hearts to Cry". A recording of their live work, titled A Young Man's Song, was released in 1996 by Big Beat (UK).[2][3]
