Moby Grape: Aiming High Up On The Vine
uncredited writer, KRLA Beat, 3 June 1967
THE MOBY Grape is a San Francisco rock quintet whose stated objective is to "climb high on the vine". They live in Mill Valley, California, a switched-on, sylvan area across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco which functions as a haven for art lovers, boating enthusiasts and week-end tourists eager to sip tall drinks with the hip inhabitants in a beautiful green, hilly setting.
