Originating from the seminal music city Seattle, the Daily Flash are a gemstone in the genre of original West Coast psychedelic music. In essence we are talking about a relatively obscure group that provided massive inspiration for an emerging music generation in the Pacific Northwest. Somehow (and that's the mystery) they kept a tantalizing one-step away from national recognition, eventually disappearing from sight.
Fortunately, in 1996 the group re-emerged. With a new lineup, they continued to perform in small venues, mostly in Seattle. This later version of the band has released several albums.
In 2018, with the passing of group leader Steve Lalor, the future of the Daily Flash was again uncertain. Currently, a memorial band true to the group's original ideals has reformed, and are performing in the Pacific Northwest.

Preparations are underway for a new CD release of original music from The Daily Flash, a bonus re-release that contains recordings recovered from the famous Gold Star Studio in Hollowood.
WHILE WE ARE WAITING:
Luminous Musics “I FLASH DAILY” is a digital-only collection that contains most of the music from the anticipated official Daily Flash release. It has been compiled and mastered by the groups original drummer, Jon Keliehor, the director of Luminous Music:
Between 1967-69, Jon Keliehor and Steve Lalor began a new partnership with Eric Karl, Kerry Magness and David Brooks. The group took the name Bodine, toured the Pacific Northwest circuit and returned to Los Angles to record one album released on MGM titled "Bodine". The recording showed the group in an extended format, with a revitalisation of energy and sound as a future version of the Daily Flash.
Soon after the albums release, MGM reshuffled its catalogue, dropping many emerging artists. The group's management followed suit, collapsing the bands ability to sustain themselves.
Luminous Music has further information on DAILY FLASH recordings, and the music of group "BODINE", with possible availability of: ”THE BODINE YEARS.”

"Today, the shambolic brilliance of the Daily Flash's Jack of Diamonds is more listenable and less dated than much of what their more celebrated peers produced. The opening wall of noise during which the drummer seems to be warming up; the bass playing the same insistent riff throughout; the urgent harmonica and jagged guitar; the production that suggests it really was recorded in someone's garage – all contribute to a great record. It finishes as it begins and you have heard the definitive garage punk single." . . . . . more. David Marsh
