Haha the water aerobics class for old people at my local YMCA is called "Joint Effort."

Were the members of bar bands a lot older back then? Or do I just not pay attention to bar band members today?

Outstanding thread.

Some of it is the optical illusion of see these haircuts for the last 30 years on the cohort as they age. The Night Crew looks like it might have a father and son, though!

North Americans were skinny once!

Does "Joint Effort" refer to some kind of pre-Yes/Buggles merging of Uriah Heep and The Partridge Family?

maltsnapper, Wednesday, 28 July 2010 23:22 (fifteen years ago)

North Americans were skinny once!

it really is sad to go through old photos up to the present and watch the ballooning waistbands expand, I gotta say

is "consolidated talent" their tagline or management company?

elephant rob, Friday, 30 July 2010 16:54 (fifteen years ago)

I was hoping "Rock Creek" was the management company and "Consolidated Talent" the band!

searching for these has led me to a lot of nostalgic old dude blogs

The guy in the middle kinda reminds me of Mick Fleetwood.

The New Creation were hardly a bar band. They were more of a Shaggs-esque Christian garage outfit that released one record in 1970, recorded, I believe in a day. http://www.companionrecords.com/pages/newcreation.html#

And their song "Dig (The Evolution of Man)" is one of my favorite jams, despite its general dismissal of tempo.

The Appliances = yacht rock band trying to jump on the post-"My Sharona" skinny tie new wave/power pop bandwagon. Grumpy Michael McDonald on the far left is having none of it.

I want to hear Mind Garage

Jonah's Whale dreamed of having Roger Dean paint their album cover but only got as far as having their weed dealer make a passable Dean-knockoff logo.
