Members knightvalin Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hey Guys: Thanks to the wonders of Youtube, some long faded bands are getting rediscovered. I admit to only vaguely remembering these guys until last year, when one of their hits ' I just wanna celebrate' showed up in a Cracker commercial, for gawds sake:eek: Anyway, I've done some digging, and they are still going as a touring band, albeit only one original member. They were a part of that early to mid 70s funk rock genre that bands like Sly and the Family stone, Blood Sweat and Tears, Lighthouse, Rubicon, and early Chicago inhabited. I'm going to post studio clip links as well as a couple of live ones. They could cut it live, and of interest their lead singer was the drummer, check him out rocking a double set of white Ludwigs, it looks like...anyway, ENJOY the following: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZsppOw2Mxk&feature=fvw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFBLYuM7y4g ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xRePb7VKrk&feature=related :thu:PEACE:thu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rdrummer322 Posted January 25, 2010 Members Share Posted January 25, 2010 That was my era! If you want to hear a band that was truly amazing and has been totally forgotten check out these guys! Their original holographic album cover is now worth tons!

Members 1001gear Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 The rimshot on the AM version of Get Ready is my all time fave. Gave me fits for months. Tried a Super Sensitive just for that sound. Never got it. Ah ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Carminemw Posted January 26, 2010 Members Share Posted January 26, 2010 ok...let me see if I got this right...They were the s..t, the tits, bangin', hot...whatever ya wanna call em. They did a lot of covers but really kicked butt. And as a trivia, they were one of the first bands to introduce the Maestro Ecoplex with I'm Losing You! http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.superpage.com/riffs/maestro_500.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.superpage.com/riffs/desc_maestro_echoplex.html&h=322&w=500&sz=133&tbnid=MG3M3j-BgvdAxM:&tbnh=84&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dmaestro%2Bechoplex&usg=__je8AH02BnNyjDHPUnSv5oumLfxE=&ei=sE5eS7ayB86WtgfjgoXmBw&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=7&ct=image&ved=0CCkQ9QEwBg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
