'Lost' Bands (Updated: The Scientists) - Page 2 P04529v9mw6

I first heard of this band from a fellow student during my short tenure at college in Mass. He raved them all the time...them and the PIXIES. So I strolled to the nearest used tape shop (it was 1989) and grabbed a copy of their Taang! album "The Gift"

BULLET LAVOLTA were line walkers.... too metal for the crowd...too punk for the metal heads...not hardcore enough too heavy for this....they flat out rocked...I never got to catch them live but heard tell their shows were ferocious with singer Yukki Gipe flailing nd jumping and seizing like a madman. Riff heavy metallic punk at a high point...

They were signed to RCA and touted as being a big thing around the time of the NIRVANA explosion and had they been promoted have been as their sound would have sat well with most of the heavy alternative of the time...but the "Swan Dive" came out and sank with out a trace. The band broke up shortly after with Yukki going recluse and the other members ending up in bands like CHAVEZ, MOVING TARGETS and others.

'Lost' Bands (Updated: The Scientists) - Page 2 Americanangel

A Great Hair/Melodic metal band I stumbled upon recently. I'd never even heard of them before but after seeing them on Stormspell's distro and checking them out they were an easy choice.

The EP 92 album reminds me a lot of bands like Pink Cream 69, Tyketto, even Gotthard a little bit in their ability to write amazingly catchy tunes. Not too heavy but not light in the loafers eithers. VERY accessable and smooth. Timing apparently was the problem for this band. They were destroyed by the Alt-grunge movement and I'm sure their great sound wasn't enough to push through the flannel veil surrounding the heads and ears of the "powers that be" in 1992.

My discription probably doesn't do justice so here's their myspace as they seem to be up and running again after all these years....

'Lost' Bands (Updated: The Scientists) - Page 2 Broken-Homes-Front

THE BROKEN HOMES recorded their dbut album in 1986 and produced by Jeff Eyrich, (of Plimsouls, T Bone Burnett, Blasters and Gun Club fame). Their music is somewhere between The Del Fuegos ,Tom Petty and The Plimsouls . It has never been reissued on cd, and this very first album remains (IMO) their best work.

THE BROKEN HOMES was put together by Philadelphia native Mike Doman. Despite becoming one of the biggest bands in Los Angeles club circuit, the records failed to do the band justice at retail. 1988's 'Straight Line Through Time' sank with nary a trace...and Their third album, ‘Wing And A Prayer’, was produced by Andy Johns. Mike Doman and the Broken Homes were featured on the original soundtrack of the 48 Hours sequel (Another 48 Hours - 1990) with "I'm All Right (Get Him A Doctor)". Bassist Jimmy Ashhurst joined Izzy Stradlin's Ju Ju Hounds band in early 1993. Ashhurst, along with guitarist Craig 'Kreg' Ross joined Ian McLagan's Bump Band before Ross took up with Lenny Kravitz.

This is a great underappreciated band who purveyed a no frill good ol' rawk & roll style...

Tex And The Horseheads

'Lost' Bands (Updated: The Scientists) - Page 2 L_7585deaa0743c5a7a4ce63bad77ac17b

Hailing from the same el lay post-punk rock n' roll scene that gave us such countrified punk luminaries X and the Gun Club, Tex and the Horseheads brought a trashy sleazy eternally drunk attitude to the cowpunk ethos of Los Angeles.

Led by the self proclaimed queen of the Cali-Texi border Texacala Jones (a gypsyfied gothic voodoo goddess that had a penchant for wearing chicken bones in her hair) and backed by some characters named Mike Martt, Rock Vodka and Smog Vomit no less. The Horseheads cut a striking figure amongst the LA rock scene. They played with Guns N' Roses had allies/fans in the Gun Club and X and cut 3 amazing different albums for Enigma in the mid 80's.

Tex inflicted this great backward town hick hillbilly accent into her voice over the top of the blues n' country twang of the Horseheads brand of sleaze punk that recalled the ghosts of Hank Williams Sr. as much as it did Sid Vicious.

After releasing a s/t debut ep in 1984, the band enlisted X's John Doe to produce their definitive full length classic Life's So Cool (1985). An album that recalls the mutant hard rock n' roll squalor of the Stones Exile On Main Street. An album reeking of whiskey soaked madness, one night stand's and other debauched sleazy excesses.

After that they recorded the live in Holland! album Tot Ziens (1986), a howling mess of a live album thats more live rock n' roll spirit like those great Birthday Party and Stooges live recordings than polished concert document.

And then it was over, the band going their seperate ways. Over the ensuing years Tex and the other members have been in other bands that i've never had the pleasure of hearing. In recent times they had some reunion shows and the Horseheads have been playing minus Tex!

For fans of: The Gun Club, X, Rock City Angels, Green On Red, The Long Ryders.

'Lost' Bands (Updated: The Scientists) - Page 2 200px-Daisychainsaw

Daisy Chainsaw are an eccentric English band that were active between 1989 and 1995.
The band formed in 1989 after KatieJane Garside answered an advertisement placed by guitarist Crispin Gray in the music press. Their live gigs included grapevines and rag dolls strewn across the stage and Garside thrashing around in soiled gowns drinking juice from a baby bottle, typically pineapple juice, which was a disturbing yet enchanting look for the quirky starlet, who was also prone to going topless for promo photos. Their music, a bubbly intensely noisy britpunk glam sound, was a big hit amongst the scene....abroad maybe. But here in the U.S. They floundered. Garside's bansee like shrieks and mutterings soundling like BJORK on L.S.D. and the downright sooty guitar skronk of Crispin set it off.

The band was successful with their "LoveSickPleasure" EP which included the hit "Love Your Money". They turned down an appearance on BBC TV's Top of the Pops program, and even an offer to be signed to Madonna's Maverick record label, later signing to the indie label One Little Indian. One full album was released, Eleventeen, while Garside was still in the band. She left the band in 1993 and disappeared from the music industry.

After the departure of Garside, Daisy Chainsaw released a second full length album titled For They Know Not What They Do with Belinda Leith on vocals, and one more EP titled "You're Gruesome" with Crispin Gray replacing Leith before splitting for good. Whil not unlistenabl by any stretch neither of these offerings matched the garside era oif the band.

The new millennium saw Garside and Gray musically reuniting to form Queen Adreena. Which while decent is not at all like D.C. was...sadly.

This is one of Shiney's top 40 cds of ever.....

Thanks for that link, I've been wanting to hear a full-length from Tex and the Horseheads for a while now, after hearing them on an Enigma Variations compilation a long time ago. By the way, the password is password -- I had to do a bit of searching to find it!

Do you like Blood on the Saddle?

I emailed the manager of Wounded Bird records today, they're a re-issue label...but tey do alot of obscure stuff. Anyaway I suggested he persure avenues to procure and reissue TEX stuff on cd. I told him it's NEVER been availible on that format and would probably sell well..

I'll let you know what I hear....if anything.

I've got one I bet no one has heard.

Joanna Dean.

She released one album, "Misbehavin'", under her own name back in 1989. The music was mostly blues-based hard rock but featured Joanna's Joplinesque vocals. The record company released one track as a single and it's the closest Joanna ever came to having a hit. The song "Kiss This" was featured prominently on Tennessee AOR radio back in the day but never caught on nationally.

Dean recorded a second album with a band under the moniker of Bad Romance. That album featured a duet with Cinderella's Tom Kiefer on "Love Hurts". The second album features some decent tracks but lacks the power of Misbehavin.

Misbehavin' is ridiculously difficult to find on CD and when it does show up on Ebay, it sells for a king's ransom. The only track I could find on the web is the video for Kiss This. Please ignore the very 80s look of the thing and listen to the music. Dean's voice still gives me chills.

Bullet LaVolta and Daisy Chainsaw both take me back to my college radio days. A record store clerk actually recommended me "The Gift" CD. I wasn't blown away by it at first - but each listen made me a bigger fan. Great record, and yeah they should have been big with that alternative scene.

In that same vein I give you JAWBOX. These guys were a D.C. band that were on Dischord Records at first. Had a loyal local following. They put out a fantastic album "Grippe" and then got signed by Atlantic, put out "For Your Own Special Sweetheart" which was a really good record as well. Of course they got no promotion from the label - even in the Washington area where local giant alternative station WHFS even ignored them.

Scarred But Smarter Number of posts : 3487 Age : 53

JAWBOX rule....

And toho.

I have been after JOANNA DEAN's solo cd for like 20 years now.....

I do however have the BAD ROMANCE disc which I think is killer....not as so as "Misbehavin'" but still....

I took their bio info from their website check them out!

http://www.myspace.com/legsdiamondband

1931 ........ Legs Diamond 'the gangster' is shot down for the fourth time but survives, amazing his physician with his ability to survive such serious injuries. Legs declares "I made it again, nobody can kill Legs Diamond. I am going to settle a few scores just as soon as I get my strength back, just you wait and see."
1975 ........ Legs Diamond 'the band' starts to form into a recognised, cohesive unit, little aware that in years to come England's acclaimed "Kerrang!" magazine would have them on a front cover under the banner "The Bands That Refused To Die!" Parallels between a Californian hard rock quintet and a New York mobster become more apparent when one looks back at our band's many experiences of perseverance, bad luck and refusal to give in. The gangster's personality would also describe their music -- "mean as hell with a touch of class; hard hitting but stylish." So, when gangster fans Jeff Poole (drums) and Michael Gargano (bass) chose this name, it became even more appropriate than they could have imagined. A relocation to Los Angeles resulted in the addition of Michael Prince (keyboards, guitar), Rick Sanford (vocals) and Detroit native Roger Romeo (guitar). Legs Diamond was ready to start with guns blazing.
1976 ........ Their first venture onto vinyl came in 1976 on a compilation sampler by LA radio station K-West. "Rat Race" stands out as the jewel. But in the music business you also need lucky breaks -- theirs came when they crashed a Kiss after-gig party and met Gene Simmons. They convinced Gene to come to their rehearsal room and he liked the band. He wanted to get his management company and booking agency involved with Legs and that's how they got the first three gigs on Kiss' "Rock & Roll Over" Tour." How many groups can play to (appreciative) audiences of 30,000 before their first album? Kiss even wanted to record one of their songs ("Satin Peacock"), but Legs kept it to themselves. The band were signed to Mercury on November 9th, 1976, and started an enviable touring schedule for several years. The likes of Styx, Sammy Hagar, Alice Cooper, Black Oak Arkansas, Bob Seger, Riot, Angel, The Babys, Montrose, Golden Earring -- to name but a handful -- would share the bill around the USA. Sometimes, (famously in the case of Ted Nugent), they would upstage the headliners. Add to this a friendship with the members of Deep Purple -- they attended each other's rehearsals -- and it was looking good. True fact: Eddie Van Halen and Dave Lee Roth begged Legs to let Van Halen open for them!
1977 ........ The self-titled debut album, produced by Derek Lawrence (that Deep Purple connection again) contains just seven songs -- but these remain today as some of the fan favourites and stalwarts of the live set. The tunes were mainly in the long, hard and heavy vein, each with its own identity -- variety would soon be recognised as one of Legs' greatest assets. A change of pace or mood within a song was not unusual and Sanford was not averse to an occasional use of flute. The follow-up album "A Diamond Is A Hard Rock" was also released in 1977. An apt title, a classic sleeve, and superb songs. The tunes are shorter and a touch more commercial than those on the debut and the Eddie Leonetti production brings out the best in each one. ("Eddie was great fun to work with -- he came up with some good stuff."). This record contains "Woman", a ballad of more than six minutes, which is still today a rock anthem in San Antonio, Texas and much of middle America. In the future, a festival there would see 20,000+ singing along, word-for-word; this was their "Stairway To Heaven".
1978 ........ More touring around the USA and Canada consolidated Legs Diamond's reputation as a blistering live act. Legendary DJ Joe "The Godfather" Anthony would play whole sides of an album, helping to create their legendary, god-like status in San Antonio, Texas for decades. Unfortunately, record labels like Mercury were always going through changes of personnel, and when management problems became intertwined with label politics, the ones who suffered because of a lack of promotion or readily available information were the band and its rapidly-growing legion of fans.
1979 ........ Album number three, "Fire Power", would surface on the small Cream label. Cream insisted upon the inclusion of cover versions and were keen to try and get hit singles (but only from the covers) via a more commercial approach. Unwilling to promote them as a heavy metal band, yet lacking the power to put them into the pop charts, the big breakthrough seemed to be ever out of reach in these conditions. That said, there were small efforts in merchandise and memorabilia that can be found today.
1980 ........ Here comes the first of several "quiet periods" in the band's career. When a gangster goes into hiding, it may be to lie low until the police or rivals are out of the way. The only enemies that Legs Diamond the band had at this time were record company indifference and the onset of new wave, which combined to pose a threat to the aspirations of many rock bands in a music world where there was not room for everyone. Although two sets of classic demos were recorded, the stunning album they could have formed would not materialise (…at least, not for twenty years!) In this period, guitarist Roger Romeo left to work in new directions and in his place came Jim May. Various changes of name (including "Rag Doll", who recorded two songs for a local compilation album of unsigned bands) followed, but the LA club scene was not where Legs Diamond should have been after the early quick start to their career. With the departure of Michael Diamond, it looked as if Legs Diamond was a seventies memory.
1984 ........ The motto "Never Say Die" could not have been more emphatically proven when Legs Diamond burst out of their 'jail' of exile with the glorious "Out On Bail". Initially a six-track EP on Target Records, it gained immediate worldwide acclaim in quarters starved of quality rock after the novelty of punk and its amateur limitations had worn off. A new audience joined the ranks of the faithful to celebrate the return of Sanford, Prince, May, Poole and, now on bass, Mike Christie. The latter took the place of various short-lived personnel, including Greg Chaisson (Badlands, Steeler).
1985 ........ After topping import charts in the UK and Europe, it was only a matter of time before "Out On Bail" had two extra tracks added for English release on the Music For Nations label. Fans that had only previously had access to the group via hard-to-find imports now had the album readily available. In Germany, the popularity was sufficient to release "Fugitive" as a single.
1986 ........ Although with hindsight a European tour at this time would have been a huge advantage, the determination of Legs Diamond to regain lost ground in their homeland with a resounding "We're back!" is understandable. With new album "Land Of The Gun" delivered onto a waiting audience (along with an EP featuring "Turn To Stone" and two bonus tracks in the UK), the band's profile had never been higher. Magazine articles in many languages grew ever more plentiful. The medium of CD had eased itself into everyday culture by now, but not to the degree we recognise today. To get the album out at the best time, vinyl was still the means. Poole had by now left, replaced by skinsman Dusty Watson. (Jonathan Valen, pictured on the album sleeve, did not actually play or record with the band on any album. It's one of those long stories, shortened to the fact that Dusty wasn't available for the band photo session!)
1989 ........ Once again, the Underworld Kings had been forced into a period of inactivity by the bad luck that seemed to follow them around. In the preceding years, Rick Sanford tried to establish a solo career and Michael Prince had found equal resistance with a side project Roq Royale. The rock groups of a more sleazy nature (including Guns'n'Roses -- who confess to having been Diamond fans in their early careers) had been dominating the business and our heroes were sorely missed. The announcement that Roger Romeo was back on board for another reformation and attack was greeted with enthusiastic anticipation.
1990 ........ Legs Diamond fans remain loyal over the years and the head of Metal Blade Records, Brian Slagel, remembered the groups that influenced his passion when younger. The result was their first official CD "Town Bad Girl" complete with controversial sleeve and crammed full of classy songs. Legs even entered the video age, with the promo for "I Am For You" being aired on MTV both in the USA and Europe. With "Out On Bail" and "Land Of The Gun" also being reissued as a 2-on-1 CD, they had everything to play for again, if the luck held out ...
1992 ........ Maybe the ghost of that gangster was around, haunting the group, with karma ensuring his misdeeds in a previous life were being punished. A motorcycle accident to Sanford the previous year had put paid to plans for their first European tour, and Jeff Marcus was now the guitarist after Romeo left again. On bass we welcomed Adam Kury. Selected dates in Texas happened, but it was not until this particular year that two eagerly awaited events became a reality. A handful of British dates at the end of the year -- including a magical night at London's legendary Marquee Club -- followed the release of a live CD, "Captured Live". This was actually from a concert played in 1990 and is a perfect example of what those Texans had enjoyed for so long.
1993 ........ New songs had been introduced into live shows and these formed part of "The Wish", released on Music For Nations Records. The heaviest album they had ever recorded, it contained as ever an impressive variety of styles -- although all are firmly in the hard rock genre; There were no diversions into the more 'fashionable' areas of music that were taking over the media. Just as in the dark days of the Prohibition, a cloud hung overhead, threatening all that had been held dear in the past. The name of this cloud was grunge ...
1999 ........ The longest hiatus in Legs Diamond's career left even the most optimistic concerned. We were used to periods of inactivity without any formal announcements of breaking up, but one had to wonder if there was any way back this time. Just as Jack came "back from the dead" so many times in the thirties, this Legs Diamond would not lay down. "Uncut Diamond ... the legendary lost fourth album" finally saw the light of day, twenty years late, but no less welcome. The boys were back in town.
2000 ........ Talk of a new CD was plentiful and although songs were worked on, it was no longer a case of being able to devote energies to it on a full time basis. The members had other musical diversions as well, but San Antonio promoter Bill Lee did the impossible and organised a show with Dio and Budgie at the Sunken Gardens Theater in April. The ecstatic followers treated this like the Second Coming and Legs played a concert that they rate as one of the best of their lengthy career. Four decades of music now and back in the drummer's seat for this momentous event was Jeff Poole. For the rest of the world, the big event was the release, finally, on CD of the first three albums by Zoom. All were mastered with painstaking care by Michael Prince in response to years of demands from fans and all came with tasty bonus tracks. These releases spawned the greatest amount of media attention, in terms of reviews, that the band had ever experienced.
2002 ........ Jumping forward two years and Bill Lee decided it was time to repeat the San Antonio magic. This time, Saxon and Moxy were in support and, once again, it was a special event.
2003 ........ With still no new album on the horizon, Zoom produced "The Collection" -- a limited edition boxed set of the first four albums, in deluxe packaging.
2004 ........ If it was going to become a tradition now to play San Antonio every two years, then it was that time again. A scheduled April concert with Starz and Pat Travers was cancelled at the last minute when Jeff Poole injured himself in a karate match. It was rescheduled for September with an incredible bill -- Legs Diamond, Montrose, Starz, Michael Schenker Group, Uli Jon Roth -- fully deserving the title "The Legends Of San Antonio Rock". An all-star jam closed the show to rapturous reception. As an added bonus, the event was filmed for future release as the band's first DVD. A new "Best Of…" CD entitled "Favourites Vol.1" became available and featured two brand new songs. The first new material written for more than a decade did not disappoint and expectations for the next album were high. The tunes resulted in Legs Diamond being signed to German label AOR Heaven.
2005 ........ The year starts with news of reissues of "Out On Bail" (with three bonus tracks) and "Uncut", but no-one expects the next announcements. Firstly, an invitation to play in Bradford, England at the inaugural "Firefest" festival in May -- secondly, the news that Legs Diamond have parted company (amicably) with singer Rick Sanford. The voice that had become synonymous with Legs throughout eight albums (and appearances on many compilations) had to be replaced -- no mean feat. Welcome Johnny Levesque (ex-Montrose, Wild Horses, Shout), who helps the band perform a stunning set in Bradford. He impresses all there. Once again, it was onward and upward with with the strongest lineup to date. As of this writing, Legs Diamond has just released their new studio recording, a CD titled "Diamonds Are Forever", with shows in the US and Europe to follow. The new album has received rave reviews from the media and diehard fans alike. 2006 looks to be a busy year for the gangsters of rock. If you didn't know it before, you know it now -- 'Diamonds are Forever'.

Legs Diamond is one of my favorite 25 bands of all-time. Especially the first two albums. They merged pomp and party better than any other band ever IMO.

Here is a twofer...2 bands I forgot about until I was looking for somethng else in the collection and found the cds...I took them to work last night and so here it goes..

'Lost' Bands (Updated: The Scientists) - Page 2 P00163x52d0

'Lost' Bands (Updated: The Scientists) - Page 2 P00163x52d0

TRIBE AFTER TRIBE released their s/t cd in 1991 with little notice but alotof wod-of-mouth championing by some big names at the time (Jeff Ament, Doug Pinnick, Flea) and so I picked it up. I love it. Not quite metal actually almost like a hard rock band Peter Gabriel. Heavy basslines dominate and all is tempered with exotic African instrumentation.

The band's follow up "Love Under Will" is even better (imo) but stll no big breaktrough even after tour slots with PEARL JAM, KING'S X and other big hitters of the day. They were dropped by Atlantic and released a few indie cds "Pearls Before Swine" is a fierce album!

Great bad not many have ventured to check into...But if you have an open mind...do it!!

'Lost' Bands (Updated: The Scientists) - Page 2 Loudhouse_band_01a

'Lost' Bands (Updated: The Scientists) - Page 2 Loudhouse_band_01a

Loudhouse's "For Crying Out Loud" came out in 1991 or 2...played a sort of glammy art house variation of the alternative rock from the time...Sort of JANE'S ADDICTION filtered through WARRIOR SOUL and tempered with some sweet licks... The band featured ex TUFF LUCK vocalist Kenny Monroe and drummer Mark Dombroski who alng with the Cross brothers of this bandwould go on to form SPONGE.

This band flubbed big and more than likely alienated alot of young metalheads and rock fns with their extreme delves into the works of WIlLIAM S. BURROUGHS for lyrical inspiration. But it's really a cool disc, I think. Almost slightly industrial at times... I dunno, I dg it.
