The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie

When Mark Volman & [a271690] departed from The Turtles they were embroiled in contract wrangles which prevented them from performing under their own identities. At the start of the '70s the duo hitched up with [a92623] as vocalists, toured with the band and were credited on the release [m35621] by their given alias. The name stuck. They released an eponymous album under the non de plume The Phlorescent Leech & Eddie, by which time the nickname had become shortened to "Flo (40)" (Phlo) & "[a2873037]". An alias by which they continue to perform under - Flo & Eddie. One highlight of their performances with Zappa was their live rendition of The Turtles' "Happy Together" (on [m53946]), as a pair of 'Fillmore groupies'. The album was released as though a 'bootleg', thus the duo are credited as Volman & Kaylan.
