is "consolidated talent" their tagline or management company?

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

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

more like SHAME amirite

Master of the Manly Ballad (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 30 July 2010 18:48 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

Iommi looks like he is on his way to Idlewild to take shipment of 100 kilos from Medellin in that picture.

The ghosts remain there. You must investigate.

Ned Raggett, Friday, 30 July 2010 19:41 (thirteen years ago) link

Maybe they're still there, like that dead guy in Tokyo.

xxpost -- That was during the week or so when both Rutsey and Peart were in the band. OK, I made that up. Jeff Jones, maybe?

I had to repost this one to make a note of the fact two of them are wearing the exact same shirt. 2-for-1 sale at The Gap?

Johnny Fever, Saturday, 31 July 2010 13:36 (thirteen years ago) link

I have a friend whose first name is Beckett. I have informed him of this band's existence.
