In the mid seventies a heavy metal band in Country Club Hills IL existed for a couple years. This south suburb of Chicago with such a stupid name was home to the teens of working class parents and we all loved heavy metal. So it was pretty natural that we'd gravitate to this genre.... and face it - the stuff is easy to play!

We did, however, play in other genre's as well.

We never had good eqiupment. Vocals were mainly run through the bass amp and the singer could hardly, if at all, hear himself. That makes for an interesting experience in microtonality at times.

The main line up

Chris guitar and vocals
Frank bass and rarely vocals
Moshen drums and incredibile thoughts
And Mike Barry on occasion - keys and vocals
Why this name?
This was decided on after much anguish and discussion.

It was never unique... but hey - we were kids.
Do you play live?
Yes we played live for girls, beer, and smoke. We loved it.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows me to make this shrine.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
We had aspirations - I think this is past now.
Your influences?
Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Free, Grand Funk Railroad, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Mahavishnu Orchestra
Favorite spot?
A place to jam
Equipment used:
utter crap - second hand stuff. We we 15, 16, 17 and had no money. we were sponging off our parents.
