Underground in the fact that is was word of mouth that caused them to grow so quickly. They didn't play any US TV, were not featured in any of those rags until the early 70s, and they got no, or only negative, mainstream press.
I'm not saying they were an underground group. I'm saying their initial audience growth was a word of mouth thing.
