Electric Church was a quasi-spiritual belief popularized by Jimi Hendrix and his band, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, as well as other followers of psychedelic music in the 1960s, that electric music (such The Jimi Hendrix Experience )brings out emotions, feelings, and creative ideas in people, and encourages spiritual maturity.
"The influence the psychedelics have on one is truly amazing, I only wish more people appreciated this belief and genre, said Hendrix in an interview promoting his third album, Electric Ladyland. When asked why he didn't name his then-new album "Electric Church" instead of "Electric Ladyland", Jimi said that some ladies were electric too. (Then he laughed as if he were embarassed.)
Hendrix made numerous allusions to the concept in his musical work, most famously in his widely distributed live performance of Red House, in which he introduces his band by telling the audience he is about to present them all to the Electric Church.
