McPhee was a short-lived but influential Australian acid/prog-rock band from Sydney, active in the early 1970s, known for their heavy, organ-driven sound and cult status, releasing one acclaimed self-titled album in 1971, featuring Faye Lewis (vocals), Tony Joyce (guitar), Jim Deverell (keys), Benny Kaika (bass), and Terry Popple (drums). Their music blended UK acid rock, US West Coast sounds, and heavy Hammond organ, with covers by Spooky Tooth and Neil Young alongside originals, capturing a powerful live feel.
