This heavy rock band from Los Angeles was a novelty at the time, possessing two drummers. Their only album was a fair debut, although the band never looked likely to break into the first division of American rock. It achieved modest commercial success peaking at No 126 in the Billboard Album Charts. Often their songs lacked distinctive melodies. This was not the case, however, with A Child's Smile, the shortest and one of the best tracks on the album. Another strong track Black Roses was issued as a 45. The non-LP flip side, which is excellent, was taken from the film "The President's Analyst" which they appeared in briefly.
De Young later went solo (two LPs and four 45s on MCA between 1973/5) and pursued an acting career. Seal went on to the Peanut Butter Conspiracy. Lubahn, who had earlier done session work for The Doors went on to play for an outfit called Dreams and Ney and Kortchmar later played together in The City, an early seventies trio, Dallas Taylor (ex-Factory) went on to fame as drummer for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and Danny Kortchmar was also in King Bees
