F.O.M. is the band that forms the link between Frank Zappa & The Mothers, Lowell George & The Factory, Little Feat, and Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band.
In it's short period of existence between these ancestors, relatives, and descendants, the band managed to record two albums, FRATERNITY OF MAN in 1968, and GET IT ON in 1969, before fragmenting.
Elliott Ingber had joined the fifth line-up of The Mothers in time to participate in the recording of FREAK OUT in August 1966. According to Zappa, he had to fire Ingber at the end of 1966, and in the course of 1967 the guitarist linked up with Warren Klein, Martin Kibbee, and Richard Hayward, who had been three quarters of The Factory. Along with fourth member Lowell George, The Factory had been recording (with Zappa producing) in the latter half of 1966 and early 1967. The album LOWELL GEORGE & THE FACTORY - LIGHTNING ROD MAN was released.
With the inclusion of Lawrence "Stash" Wagner (rather than George) on lead vocals, F.O.M. set about their first album with Tom Wilson in the producer's chair (he also produced FREAK OUT).
The album featured a cover of "Oh No I Don't Believe it" by Zappa (which he had yet to release himself), and "Don't Bogart Me" which was subsequently featured in the film EASY RIDER in 1969.
