Another Me

New on Cleopatra Records
We practiced these songs for eighteen months in a store basement. We were into Sci fi, God, Death and the Environment.. Recorded the album at Criteria Studios in twenty eight hrs. Few over dubs. We were ready
We signed a three album deal with Capitol Records, . They would not release DOC, a Concept Album. Producer Micheal Sunday: "I'll be back in two weeks. Write me an album". We wrote our classic. BANG album in two weeks went to Critiaia Studios in Miami and recorded it . 'Questions' was #1 in Hong Kong

This was a fun album to write. I'd be in my room at Escape Motel in Ft Lauderdale sitting on floor writing words, Franks were in next room hammering out melodies and riffs. Bow to The King is about Muhammad Ali who I admired greatly, and was to be our Stairway to Heaven.

Our new producer who will go nameless and Capitol wanted us to write a song like 'I Am Women". So we were being pushed to be more comercial, even having the Rasberries sing backup  on our comercial single. So we lost a lot of our heavyness but theres some great tunes. Then everybody handeling BANG was fired as a new regime came in and pushed their bands
The three of us go together when I move back up to Claymont DE. We recorded it in Frankies Basement on a four track cassett deck.. This to was fun.
