Weird music - Quicksilver Messenger Service





Quicksilver Messenger Service sounds like a cool name for an app.  But it is what a psychedelic rock band called themselves in the mid 60's.  The band was based in San Francisco.

It seems that the name was derived from the group's star signs.  They were all Virgos and Gemini – apparently ruled by the planet Mercury.  Mercury has an alternate name – Quicksilver.  And Mercury was a messenger.  So there!
