reswati Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Does anyone remember a band called Janus? They released one album on Harvest Records begin seventies called Gravedigger, which is now quite hard to get. They got thrown out of the Cavern Club in Liverpool for beeing too loud. The original band were Colin Orr (Guitar/Keyboards), Roy Yates (Classical Guitar), Bruno Lord (Vocals), Derek Hyett (Vocals), Mick Peberdy (Bass) and Keith Bonthrone (Drums). Style was truly original, and it has been said that Janus were the originators of the genre that became "acoustic rock". That probably misses the fact, that like the name, the band had two very distinct, schizophrenic, sides. Capable of soft, beautiful melodies, they also cranked out some mega-decibel material. Signed to EMI Harvest in 1970, in 1971 they recorded the classic "Gravedigger" album. Remarkably, the whole album, including mixing was put together in 24 hours of studio time. The band were almost another "J" statistic (you know, "Gravedigger" album coverartists with a "J" in the name dying early?), when Colin Orr fell asleep whilst driving the band back to their base in Holland from the session" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 I wouldn't call Heart obscure. Same for Montrose, the James Gang and the Ozark Mountain Devils. Maybe not household names but they're hardly what I'd call "obscure". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Great band from Vancouver ..The Seeds Of Time playing at the old Retinal Circus in 1968 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFdqiyqktBI Some of these guy's went on the form Prism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rover Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 A band from Florida called Bang. Check out their song "Questions": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OD0N9P24LXs BTY, their Bio on their official website says they were originally from the Philadelphia, Pa. area: http://www.bangmusic.com/story.html They have a Bang Guestbook/Forum section with some cool comments and stories: http://www.websitetoolbox.com/guestbook/bang The album cover was quite impressive... I had it. I also saw Bang perform in Dallas. They were the opening band, followed by Canned Heat.... and then the final act... the Alice Cooper Band performing their glorious "KILLER" album. The guitarist for Bang though it such an honon to be performing in front of almost 10,000 people, the, he wire a white tuxedo with tails. Of course, I will mention the Hard Rock band from Ft. Worth, Texas... BLOODROCK. But maybe Bloodrock was not that obscure to the rest of the Nation ? ? ? I just remember being driven home in my friend's dad's car, and hearing D.O.A. for the first time.... it was awesome.... and just on an AM radio at that ! Sadly, I never got to see Bloodrock.

Swede Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Not really obscure, but Blue Cheer is worth mentioning in this topic I think. They are most known for their version of Eddie Cochrans Summertime Blues (from their first 1968 album), but much of their output is rather obscure and includes some quite heavy stuff.
