Band Members:
THE HONEYCOMBS, London, UK (1964-1967)
Color Slide (1964, Pye Records)
The Sheratons was playing at the Milmay tavern (London) when Ken Howard and Alan Blaikley ( Elvis Presley and Petula Clark's writers) liked what they saw and present them to the producer Joe Meek, in his studio in Holloway Road. They renamed themselves " The Honeycombs", a mixture between the profession of Martin Murray (Lead guitar), who was haidresser, and the name of the drummer, Honey Lantree, his assistant. Their record took off in 1964. "Have I Right?" was number one in the UK and number five in the US. In 1966, The Honeycombs changed their name in The New Honeycombs, with another line up.
THE SHADOWS OF KNIGHT
Shake (1969, Super K Records)
Formed in 1964, The Shadows changed their name in The Shadows of Knight in 1965, because there was a prexisting Englich group of that name. "Shadows of Knight" to tie into the English invasion in music, and because the band members went to Prospect High School in Mt Prospect, Illinois, whose team name was "knights". In 1964 and 1965, they attracted over 500 teenagers every Saturday and Sunday at the Cellar, a teen nightclub in Arlington Height, and then, supported The Byrds in early summer 1965. At this occasion, they attracted Bill Traud and George Badonski, Dunwich Records' producers. Their first record was Gloria (Them, Van morrison). The "Back Door Men" LP was recorded in summer 1966, included "Oh Yeah" and "I'm Gonna Make You Mine" which can be seen as precursor to Hard Rock, but unfortunately didn't approach their initial commercial success. 3Shake", recorded in 1969, is the result to a more commercial orientation by the Super K record label.
THE TROGGS
Lost Girl
The Troggs formed in 1964 and were signed by the manager of the Kinks, Larry Page in 1965. Their most famous hit is the single "Wild Thing" (Chip Taylor).
Lost Girl is the band's first single, with its b-side, "The Yella in Me". It was released on the CBS Label before Larry Page gained The Troggs a two single Fontana deal. This track is one of the most powerfull thanks to a driving bass riff and crazy guitar solo.
