Need pix of the brothers!

Rushton Moreve, one of 2 Yankee hired guns in an otherwise Canadian band.

With a kraut frontman I hasten to add! But what can you do if you were born  in East Prussia in 1944 and your real name is, alas!, not Kay, but Kraudelat.

I always liked his voice. And also what his band buddy (and other Yank hired gun) Michael Monarch (below far right) did with this outfit of inquisitive nature (and great sartorial elegance) here:







"Exactly the type of band" you would of course say, Jake, "that made the advent of PUNK mandatory!" 

[uwe]

PS: As usual, if you ask punks anything about early 70ies rock, the answers are shaky to unreliable, any amount of long hair and flares (or nightgowns!) confuses them deeply. The blond bassist in the Steppenwolf vid is not a Yank and he's not Rushton Moreve



but rather - yuck! - another Canuckraut, namely Herr Klaus Karl Kassbaum, born 1943 in Hamburg, aka Nick St. Nicholas:



And here is a picture of Sid Vicious playing with The Clash! 

[Granny Gremlin]

That vid must have been done just after Rushton left; Rushton actually wrote Magic Carpet Ride.

Yeah, yeah; shall I add that one to my sig then?  I'm doing OK for a dude who wasn't even a twinckle in my dad's eye at the time.

You have no idea what it was like to have lived in London with long hair thru that ere...

Anywat Herr Hornung, I presume the Glen Vicious pic with the Ricky was part of your usual sartorial elegance...

[uwe]

Herr Hornung always preferred Matlock over Sid, not just for his bass playing capabilities (the difference was so glaring let's not even discuss), but for his look. There was something quintessentially Brit, yet authentic about Matlock, you could have envisaged him playing in The Faces or with Ian Hunter, he looked cool in an understated way. Sid Vicious, of course, conquered the T-shirt market worldwide. He looked carefully fabricated to me already back then, a punk the way The Daily Mail or The Sun would envisage one.

The Johnny Bravo of bass (apologies to those who didn't grow up watching the Brady Bunch).

Played to a mostly empty room last night thanks to the Atlanta Falcons having a playoff game. Wish we had predicted that 3 mo ago when the gig was booked but it was still fun. 

[Basvarken]

Nice! 

[Granny Gremlin]

Empty gigs are the time to practice yer bass face; nice bird.

Our last gig was almost a wash due to a blizzard and the venue's heat being broken.  On the positive side nobody forgot where they put their coat, and for once the drummers didn't get all sweaty.

Oh man, you guys are gonna have a field day when when my guitarists drops our band's new video (the one I drum in unfortunately, not the one I play bass in).

Gigged my beloved fuzztone this weekend. Of course, I got comments like:

'It looks so small, but it feels huge!'

Oh, well..

A sex symbol is born!    I see a VMA in your future.
