EPYSODE 87: Where Did The Sunshine Go by The Glass Cage.
Guests: Norm Roth, Marcus Pollard and Jason Flower.
Additional commentary by my twin brother Maurice.
This week we explore Where Did the Sunshine Go, a long-lost psychedelic and garage rock recording by The Glass Cage. Originally recorded in 1968, the songs sat unheard for decades, surviving only on rare acetates until their recent rediscovery and reissue in 2026.
Featuring raw fuzz guitar, cool vocal harmonies, and the vibrant energy of a band at the height of the late ’60s psychedelic wave, Where Did the Sunshine Go is both a snapshot of its time and a thrilling listen for modern psych and garage enthusiasts. This epysode dives into the making of the recordings with one of the original band members and the unbelievable story of how archivists resurrected the tapes for modern ears.
This is an incredible story from start to finish and at the heart of it all is some truly unbelievable music.
I hope you dig Where Did The Sunshine Go? as much as I do.
