Yeah, the Conqueroo keep cropping up in my researches but I've yet to hear much by them. Vulcan Gas Co indeed a legendary venue, replaced in the early 70s in Austin by the World Armadillo Headquarters, which was associated with the whole 'cosmic cowboy' scene- not really sure how cosmic much of that was.
Then there was Love Street Light Circus in Houston which seemed a cool venue, where the audience laid on slightly raised cushions on the floor to watch bands!
Got that Complete Moving Sidewalks CD on order, should hopefully be here in a few days. I notice the band have actually reformed, with Billy Gibbons, for a one-off show in New York too.

Zphage- wow, thanks, bar American Blues all that stuff was completely off my radar.
Had vaguely heard of Whistler, Chaucer, Detroit and Greenhill though, didn't they evolve into a 70s band called Space Opera who I saw mentioned in a Shindig! article a few years back?

I'd also add BS contemporaries Nice Strong Arm from Austin, whose first album in particular is a great psyche post-punk blast http://youtu.be/7ej7nrYpLR8

Shiva's Headband are another great Texan band.
Also, check out the Sonobeat Records website.
Numero put out a compilation called Lone Star Lowlands a while back which, whilst not being psych is a damn fine look at an early 70s local recording studios output.

I knew there was someone I was missing.
Hope you are doing well in this new year.
