Buckwheat were an average early 70's rock outfit managed by Andy DiMartino. Beefheart was managed by the DiMartino brothers during his sell-out period in 1974 and when the Magic Band walked out on the eve of a big tour members of Buckwheat were called in at short notice to fill the gap.

They were to become known as the 'Tragic Band' by hardcore fans because they had no feeling for, or understanding of, Beefheart's music. However their easy listening approach to the songs seem to have made the music more palatable to some people. They also appear on the Bluejeans & Moonbeams album.
