About Me

THIS IS A BAND THAT I [CHRIS NOTO] PLAYED IN WAY BACK IN 1979 WHILE STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL. THE BAND MEMBERS WERE; FRANK CAMARDO ON LEAD VOCALS....JAMES "THE SKINNYCAT" KARSWICK ON GUITARS...CHRIS NOTO ON BASS GUITAR...JOHN KEENS ON KEYBOARDS...LEX BATTEN ON DRUMS....WITH THE OCCASIONAL VISIT BY DAVE SHEPPARD ON VOCALS AS HEARD ON ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT AS HE DID A GREAT IMPRESSION OF DEREK SHULMAN OF GENTLE GIANT. THE RECORDINGS OF THE FULL BAND ARE IN BAD SHAPE DUE TO AGE AND USING A CASSETTE MONO RECORDING DEVICE SO I MIGHT POST A SONG FROM ONE OF THOSE RECORDINGS, THE BEST ONE I CAN FIND. AS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT OF GUESSED , WE WERE A TRIBUTE TO YES AND PROGRESSIVE ROCK AND WE WERE TOGETHER FROM 1979 TO EARLY 1981.THEN I SPLIT TO LAS VEGAS FOR A YEAR BEFORE COMING BACK EAST TO BUFFALO AND JOINING EKTRA. WELL HERE IS SOME FOND MEMORIES OF ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO.....MINCHIA....TIME FLIES......TEMPUS FUGIT.!
