The Other Side was a psychedelic rock band from Victoria that started up circa late 1965 and disbanded at some point in late 67.
They were a hard working band during their short run and would frequently play in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Victoria.
They played shows with lots of Texas greats including: The Playboys of Edinburg, Zakary Thaks, The Moving Sidewalks, etc.
One notable fact about this band is that it included a high school aged Tobias Wood Henderson, who went on to move out to California and release a solo album called "Blue Stone" on the Pulsar label in 1970.
Tobias had previously led a band called Tobias & The Sounds who had a 45 out on the Picture label.
In the fall of 1966, the band went out to Houston to record at ACA studios. This session yielded two songs which they released as a 45 on their own Warlock Records imprint.
Here are the known session dates:
ACA Session - Oct 15, 66
ACA 6250 I Can't See You
ACA 6251 Your Faith So Strong
Unissued Jones Sound Session - May 13, 67
Run & Hide
Under My Thumb
I’ve Been Loving You Too Long
Hey Joe

This second session may not have been the same band, but likely is.
"I Can't See You"
