Underground Sunshine was an
American
psychedelic rock band from Montello, Wisconsin
. The group scored a
hit single in 1969 with their
cover of
The
Beatles' "
Birthday",
which hit #26 on the
Billboard Hot
100 chart. The group subsequently
appeared on
American
Bandstand and released a full-length
album,
Let There Be Light.
The album hit #161 on
the U.S.
Billboard 200 chart, but their second
single, "Don't Shut Me Out" (written by
David Gates, later of
Bread), just missed the charts. In 1970, they
released two singles, "Nine to Five (Ain't My Bag)" and "
Jesus Is Just Alright"; neither
charted, and the group broke up soon after.
