Cromagnon was an obscure psychedelic rock/avant garde collective, and the subject of much speculation among fans. Many rumours about the band have come and gone over the years. It is only known that they were comprised of pop songwriters Austin Grasmere and Brian Elliot, who claim to have written a string of pop hits before the band, although this claim seems to be questionable. The mysterious "Connecticut Tribe" was called in to help with the project, and Orgasm was released on the ESP-Disk label. It was re-released as Cave Rock later on ZYX Music.

Rumours and Speculation

Some rumours about the band include that they had members (most likely, if at all, from the Connecticut Tribe) who went on to form The Residents and Negativland. Those rumours are strengthened by the speculation that they moved to San Francisco after their album. There were also rumours in the mid 1990's that they would be reuniting and playing venues across the USA, but this did not happen. Because of the obscure nature of the project, not much is known and it is open to speculation. The Residents are an avant garde music and visual arts group. ...
