spectoremg Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Dug out Universal Juveniles yesterday and played it twice then once again today. Cracking album and their last I believe. Anyone else like 'em? Quote
TheGreek Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I thought that this was going to be Feedback for this gent..... Quote
warwickhunt Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I'm sure I still have a picture disc of Paradise Skies. Great band. Quote
Old Man Riva Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Think I saw them supporting Rush once upon a time in the 70s. Good band, as I recall... Quote
rushbo Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 One of my favourite bands ever and blessed with a couple of outstanding bassists in Mike Tilka and Dave Myles. All their albums have just been reissued in a boxed set with some rare stuff thrown in. Not cheap (thanks Brexit!) but it looks gorgeous. CD and Vinyl. All their albums are excellent and if you're a fan of rock and roll that dips towards the left field, you'll love 'em. There are some great live recordings kicking about too, if you know where to look (cough cough...) Quote
JohnR Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Saw them support Rush on the Hemispheres tour and thought they were superb. Quote
dmccombe7 Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Hemispheres tour was where i first saw them. Bassist was oustanding and a pure showman. Fantastic songs and have to be up there with best support band i've ever seen. That was a fantastic night. Bought the album the following day. Dave Edited October 28, 2017 by dmccombe7 Quote

(Much like the saddoes I recall seeing at Kiss shows wearing Diana Ross and Cher t-shirts.) I might have a root around Spotify later... Quote
KevB Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) An oft overlooked guitarist in Mr Mitchell. Was a bit surprised how Zappa-ish some of their stuff was when I finally got round to tracking their albums down. Edited October 29, 2017 by KevB Quote
Bilbo Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Massive fan of MW and Kim Mitchell. There is a transcription of the bass part to 'lemon wedge' off his Itch cd on here somewhere. Quote
