Demian was a Texan psychedelic rock band (formerly known as Bubble Puppy), formed in 1966 in San Antonio, Texas by Rod Prince and Roy Cox. Looking to form a “top gun rock band” based on the concept of dual lead guitars, Prince and Cox recruited Todd Potter, a gymnast, saxophone player and guitarist. With the addition of Danny Segovia, the original line up of Bubble Puppy was complete. Bubble Puppy’s live debut was as the opening act for The Who in San Antonio. Their name was taken from an old (1919) Herman Hesse novel, just like Steppenwolf whose manager and record company they shared.
