     Sundial is the band lead by guitarist/singer/songwriter Gary Ramon.
London-based I think.  Generally they they are a 60's inspired fuzzrock
extravaganza--and as such kick major butt.  For a couple of albums they
drifted dangerously into psych-pop, though at its worst that was bland and
at its best, pretty good.

     I tend to think of them as a lighter kind of Monster Magnet :)
Monster Magnet meets the Beatles :)

     They've had a string of albums from around 89/90ish.
