sam' lost bands

Today's lost band is a band from the seventies that always dressed in white. Gene Simmons of Kiss discovered the band and brought them out as a counter Kiss band. Angel good Kiss bad if you know what I mean. Their most known member was their guitar player Punky Meadows who now has  made a very exciting announcement that he will be coming out of retirement and will be releasing a new solo album on

Today's lost band is a band by the name of Grinderswitch. They were a southern rock band from the 1970s.But they never achieved the same widespread recognition as some of their peers from the south. One of their songs, "Pickin The Blues," was used for many years by DJ John Peel as the theme tune for his BBC radio shows...

Today's lost band is a band that I wouldn't have ever heard if it wasn't for growing up in the greater St. Louis area and the GREAT radio station KSHE. I must also say that my favorite DJ is Radio Rich and he is a nice guy and great DJ. With that said here is the #2 KSHE Classic of All-Time Dead & Gone by Gypsy featuring photos of some of their most memorable concerts including the 1977 Super

Here it is: A rare video with the original version of the song. Recorded live at Cardies in Houston, Texas on July 4, 1983. Point Blank was a band from Texas in the mid-1970s and early 1980s. The band was discovered by Bill Ham's Lone Wolf Productions, which also produced ZZ Top and Eric Johnson...

Starcastle is an american progressive rock band. This song is from their first studio album Starcastle(1976). One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Simply great. It has all: Great guitars, great wah-wah driven funky electric guitar riffs, a magic keyboard line, a great solo, and  awesome vocals/backing vocals...

This week we will go back to one of my favorite bands that just doesn't get any airplay any more. The band's name is Mountain and this is a song off their "Nantucket Sleighride" album. Mountain was known for being loud and heavy but this song is laid back...

This weeks lost band is a group that had Ginger Baker (of Cream fame) playing drums on the album Sunrise On The Sufferbus. The song we picked today She Got Me (when she got her dress on) was the only song on the album that got any airplay. But there were other good songs on the album...

This weeks lost band is a band called Legs Diamond. And I actually missed out on this band and the guy who comes and fixes our copy machine turned me on to them. His name is Lee by the way but Legs Diamond was a great band from the seventies that did all right and then just faded away and I haven't had the time to check out why but you should hear them anyway...

Todays lost band is some live footage of the Rossington Collins band. Just to make it clear - the video and the audio do not match/sync. This guy made the video by taking some video and merge it with Prime Time from the New Years Eve show. Hope you like it anyway, even though the video quality is bad...

There were so many good bands back in the day that just didn't make the cut. A lot of it was just being in the right place at the right time. But some of them just didn't make it even after touring with major acts. Nantucket was one of them they opened for Ted Nugent, Aerosmith, Rush and many other great bands but just didn't make it...

Today's lost band is one of my favorite bands of all time. Some serious southern rockers that faded away and then the drummer and bass player passed on. When these guys were running full steam back in the Strikes period they were the show to see...

This band was a major act back in the early seventies and play the west coast scene with bands like Jefferson Airplane The Grateful Dead and many others. They were just one of the bands that didn't make it to the top. The album this song is off of is Just For Love an LP I bought when I was in junior high...
