In addition to packing clubs in Northern California, the band has supported such acts as Johnny and Edgar Winter, Blue Öyster Cult, Michael Schenker, Ace Frehley, and more. These days, the band occasionally reunites and have not lost a step. Featuring the dynamic guitar duo of Dean LaRosa and Billy Haggard, pounding rhythm section of Shane Maes (drums) and Todd Prout (bass), and the powerful vocals of the ever charismatic Steve “Goody” Goodrich, this band will not disappoint as they launch into their own classic tunes with some gems from UFO and the Cult sprinkled on top.
