An all-woman, no hit (maybe even no recordings released) wonders from the 60's , together again to spread a cool message.

According to Wikipedia, in 2003, Ace Records released It's Bad for You But Buy It!, a CD of "rehearsals, demos, TV soundstages, and in-concert tapes" of the Ace of Cups. The CD was generally well received.
I became aware of them from their vocals on the Jefferson Airplane's Volunteers (The Farm and Turn My Life Down).

I meant that they didn't release anything during their initial time as a band in 60s. But they opened for many greats in the SF area- Grateful Dead, Airplane, Santana, etc. Lots of Fillmore, Family Dog posters, have them at the bottom of the bill.
