great Power Pop quartet from Australia that knows how to rock. My only gripe

|
It's kind of
difficult to see that the Dave Clark Five actually gave The
Beatles a run for their money back in
1964-65, but they did. Good time party music for the early 60s, but not the culturally defining stuff that the Fab Four accomplished. Still, when all is said and done the DC5 knew how to rock. |

| Local
Akron band with a major label signing! Color Me Gone featured Marti
Jones, who went on to marry Don Dixon (producer, R.E.M., Let's Active), and became a sort of wandering minstrel. She occasionally performs and records, but mainly stays around the homestead these days (Canton, Ohio, actually). Anyway, A & M released this EP, liked Marti and talked her into canning the band. Her solo career then foundered. Should've stayed with the band - they were very good. |

|||||
| Another
band from Akron, Ohio, who unfortunately only released one album and called
it quits shortly afterwards. A hybrid of grunge and Chili Pepper funk - very interesting and quite good. *** A brush with greatness here: Larry Saltis (vocals, guitar) is the same Larry Saltis of the New Monkees! Something I'm sure he would not admit and will never live down. But I liked 'em! *** |

psychedelic, they left the gothic stuff behind. Mostly, anyway. And this
was before they decided they were just another metal band. |
