After the break up of Bangor Flying Circus ( 1969 ) Alan De Carlo and Hawk Wolinski formed MADURA. Only one personal change: Drummer MICHAEL TEGZA was replaced with one of the very best drummers in the world; ROSS SALOMONE .
David"hawk" Wolinski ( ex.Shadows of Knight & Bangor Flying Circus ) Alan DeCarlo ( ex. Bangor Flying Circus ) and Ross Salomone recorded two albums produced by the Chicago producer James William Guercio . Hawk Wolinski later became a member of Rufus and Chaka Kahn, and a successful producer and songwriter.
Alan DeCarlo and Ross Salomone both soon left the music business. Madura can be seen and heard LIVE on a short concert scene in J.W. Guerico's movie "Electra glide In Blue" ( 1973 ) playing a part of "Free from the devil". This is also included on the soundtrack - album from the movie.
A new documentary about the band and featuring rare concert footage, images and interviews is currently being produced by Barefootboy Productions (barefootboyproductions.com) and will be coming soon to dvd.
