After Steve Johnson left the band in 1975 , Carl McLaughlin joined the band and that is when we took off towards our greatest success. We submitted a song for the first KGON album and were chosen as the opening song on the album... song 1- side 1 (the song was Dirty Words).

Butch Stone became our manager (he managed Krokus and Black Oak Arkansas) and we auditioned for John David Kolodner of Geffen records but failed the audition. We broke up shortly after.  We also had a song we wrote (Outta Line) and it was on an album called US Metal compiled by Mike Varney of Shrapnel Records. We had fantastic reviews in Europe but by then we were no more. Close but no cigar. Now we still get together and play. Who knows.
