Rock N' Rollin' Man Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Josefus, mentioned them before but here’s a track by them called “I Need A Woman”. First two albums are highly recommended. Incredible Hog, three piece band released one album in 1973. Tin House, released one album in 1971.

Ady Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 MAY BLITZ http://www.fortunecity.com/tinpan/ash/75/MAYBLITZMP.html May Blitz were formed in England during the early part of 1969. Tony Newman ex Jeff Beck Group actually formed the band recruiting James Black & Reid Hudson. Black and Hudson were Canadians from Victoria, British Columbia who pioneered Canadian West Coast music prior to moving to England. The band played extensively on the UK college circuit in 1969 before signing to Vertigo. Their debut album 'May Blitz' in 1970 was heavy and featured a grotesque cartoon cover. The first album sold moderately and a follow up 'The 2nd Of May' was recorded in 1971. Unfortunately despite being an excellent album full of heavy original numbers the album flopped. The band were dropped by Vertigo shortly after. Black and Hudson disappeared into oblivion (They actually returned to Canada after the break up of May Blitz) but Newman played with many bands throughout the 70's including Three Man Army, Marc Bolan, David Bowie & Mick Ronson, Chris Spedding and David Coverdale's Whitesnake. Both of their albums are in high demand on the collectors market. In 1992 both of the albums were remastered onto CD. Sadly one of the UK's lost treasures. Their music lives on through collectors and fans worldwide. Note: A friend of mine saw the band perform at Leas Cliff Hall, Folkestone, England in 1971. He said "..they were bloody excellent. I met them also, nice guys..." Simon Wilson August 1998 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhSysUNstSg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZFord Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Anyone ever hear of the Baker-Gurvitz Army? I have a DJ copy of one of their albums, Elysian Encounter, from what I listened to it, it's not bad, I hear Hot Tuna is pretty good too. The Rockets are an amazing band too. They do I great cover of Fleetwood Mac's Oh Well, plus they have their own songs like Can't Sleep, Turn Up The Radio, and Desire, I saw them as the Helldrivers last summer as the opening act for Alice Cooper.

TypeO Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Kaptain Kopter and the Twirlybirds Pretty awesome cover of Mother Child Reunion Also, a lot of people aren't aware of Roxy Music beyond Love is the Drug. Stranded was an awesome album, and these 2 songs really rocked. Phil Manzanera is an awesome and underrated guitarist. Amazona I LOVE how it the guitar solo breaks so trippy at 2:05, then cuts loose about 2:47 and eventually drops back into the groove. BADASS tune. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bl3Ilu_3EdI Street Life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FoCORUwQ_0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mentioned them before on this forum in relation to "House of the Rising Sun", their biggest hit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS-TmkF_h88 Apparently they were quite popular for awhile, but they never achieved superstardom.

Ady Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I've made quite a few "new" discoveries recently. I won't post them all at once, but I'll start off with this band; Tractor ~ All Ends Up That is amazing for 1972. It sounds current like Kasabian or something.

Ady Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Antonius Rex last.fm; Antonius Rex is an Italian dark progressive rock band from the 70s, still active, formerly known as Jacula. Formed by Antonio Bartoccetti e Doris Norton in 1974. ANTONIUS REX - Full Biography In Milan in 1968 the composer Antonio Bartoccetti founded the groups Jacula and Antonius Rex, with a view to transform into music a series of theological-philosophical and esoteric observations, which were the fruit of a close association with the mystic Franz Parthenzy. In London in 1969 Antonio Bartoccetti managed to cut the first “embryonic” LP, entitled “In Cauda Semper Stat Venenum”. Realising that this work would be difficult to market, designer and producer Travers issued just a few hundred copies in a plain black and white cover and gave them away as a symbolic and magical gift to monasteries and made no attempt to get the LP distributed. In 1972 the same musicians (Bartoccetti vocals-guitar-bass, Norton voice-piano-synthesizer, Tiring church organ), cut the second album under the name Jacula, entitled “Tardo Pede In Magiam Versus”: the album, while qualitatively valid and extremely innovative, turned out to be a commercial flop: Jacula broke up and was reborn at the same time as Antonius Rex. During his military service in 1973 Antonio Bartoccetti thought about a new group and a new album, many songs of which had already been composed by Doris Norton and him in 1971. In 1974 the two musicians went back to London where they got to know Albert Goodman, an aristocratic practioner of the occult, wealthy owner of country estates with his own castle and indipendent Darkness record label and hobby percussionist.

Ady Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 T.2. lastfm; T.2. (T2) were a British progressive rock band, best known for their 1970 album It’ll All Work Out in Boomland. It is regarded as an excellent album by the progressive rock community. T2 evolved from an earlier band called Neon Pearl which had been led by drummer Pete Dunton. Dunton was by 1968 a member of Please, which also included fellow Neon Pearl member Bernard Jinks. When that band broke up in 1969, due to Dunton’s joining Gun alongside Adrian Gurvitz, Jinks became a member of Bulldog Breed. T2 then formed when Dunton reunited with bassist Jinks and late period Bulldog Breed guitarist Keith Cross (born in 1952). The trio played a form of psychedelic or proto-prog rock which was similar in content to that played by the earlier bands its members had been in but placed far greater emphasis on the incendiary guitar playing of the teenage Keith Cross, giving them some similarity in sound to power trios such as Cream. Cutting their since neglected and enigmatically titled It’ll All Work Out In Boomland, the trio played a series of successful dates and returned to the studio to begin work on their follow-up. In 1972, while recording material for their second album, T2 disbanded due to internal conflict. The breakup caused the unfinished album to be shelved until the early 1990s when redistribution of It’ll All Work Out In Boomland sparked a brief T2 reunion, although without their guitar prodigy, Keith Cross.

Ady Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Writing on the Wall http://youtu.be/2hO3v4XiEWA Writing On the Wall were a psychedelic/progressive rock band from Scotland. They moved to London and became the house band at the Middle Earth club, and later released the Power Of The Picts album in 1969. Original copies of the album are now very valuable, but upon its release many radio stations considered the sound to be too heavy for airplay.

Ady Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Night Sun http://www.last.fm/music/Night+Sun The German band consisted of Bruno Schaab (vocals, bass), Walter Kirchgassner (guitar), Knut Rossler (organ, piano, trumpet, bassoon) and Ulrich Staudt (drums). Night Suns origins lay in the late 60s jazz band Take Five who were popular in the Rhine Neckar Area of Germany. Various members from this band went on to be part of Night Sun Mournin and Kin Ping Meh, of which the latter had a reasonably successful career throughout the seventies with 5 studio and 2 live LPs. Formed in 1970, Night Sun Mournin soon shortened their name to just Night Sun, during which time they went through various line-up changes until their 1972 recording of the Mournin LP. Their only album, Mournin, was released in 1972 on Polydors Zebra label. Schaabs vocals recalled the screams of Ian Gillan from Deep Purple. The group played a loud, Deep Purple/Black Sabbath/Led Zeppelin style rock, with a characteristic heavy progressive instrumentation of twin guitars, organ, bass and drums. The album was produced by Konrad Plank (whose production credits include Kraftwerks early output and Ash Ra Tempel) at the Windrose Studio in Hamburg. With their sudden shifts of rhythm structures, guitar-with-organ riffing style and some studio effects, particularly phasing, Night Sun fortunately never went too close to the ordinary boogie and rocknroll trap. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaN3GWdoo7I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ady Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 ^Good band! Blackwater Park http://www.last.fm/music/Blackwater+Park/+wiki Hard & heavy guitar rock from Berlin, 1971, with ‘no-messin’ attitude, overloaded guitar, and english vocals. Somehow we can’t help thinking maybe UFO saw this lot & decided to nick their act… Another one of those German bands with a British vocalist. The line-up was Richard Routledge (vocals, guitar), Michael Fechner (guitar), Andreas Scholz (bass, he came from the recently disbanded Murphy Blend!) and Norbert Kagelmann (drums). “Dirt Box” had a promisingly weird cover, but the music was quite common for the period: guitar-based hard blues-rock in the Anglo-American style. The material written by Fechner and Scholz (“Mental Block”, “Rock Song” and “Indian Summer”) was the best, recalling the brilliance of Armaggedon. Routledge’s material tended towards boogie blues and sounded more like Free. He also wrote all the lyrics. The album also included a good cover version of the Beatles’ “For No One”. This is one of many albums of which the original copies sell for small fortunes today. To meet the increasing demand, Second Battle re-released the album in 1990 in its original sleeve. If you go for originals though, expect to part with 250 DM. http://youtu.be/1G659GONCK4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
