MOAT HAMZ : MCDONALD

I can't find any info on this band on the web. I remember buying this cassette release from a friend of the band. I'm guessing around 1987. Here's a few selections covering a wide range of styles from the MOAT HAMZ "Toad Hall Farm". Released on the SYNDICATE SOUND label.

Moat Hamz-Something

Moat Hamz-Hide

Moat Hamz-Bluesman

THE TRIUMPHS : ASHTABULA

This is a side from the second and final release from The Triumphs. Circa 1969. Not much info on the band here. Their first release was recorded in Chicago at CHESS and got some regional play.

THE PIED PIPERS : YOUNGSTOWN

Consisting of: Dennis Sesonsky - vocals, Pete Pompura - Bass, Les Moro - Guitar and Lenny Krispinsky - Drums, The Pied Pipers first release is represented here. A classic... circa 1966 on the WAM record label. Much info about the band can be read at the Buckeye Beat site (see side bar link) plus MySpace. Wild frontman Dennis would later front Left End in the '70s.... more on that band in a later post.

THE MISSING LYNX : CLEVELAND

The Missing Lynx made a short stir in Cleveland in the mid-60's. An excellent article on the band can be found at Buckeye Beat (see side-bar link). That's where I borrowed the photo from. Here's a 1966 DYNOVOICE label release by the band.

TOXIC REASONS : DAYTON

Some very good hardcore here... circa 1984. There are lots of sites devoted to TOXIC REASONS so I'll let you search them out!

THE DAGENITES : DAYTON

Though officially they were from Maryland, The Dagenites spent some time in Dayton in the mid 60s. In 1965 their first release came out. This jangle - gem on the small PIXIE label. This can be found on several comp. LPs, such as the one pictured. They would only release just one more before the end in 1966. The band was managed by Link Wray's manager and actually did some shows with Link! The band consisted of JOHN BARDI lead guitar, ROGER FALLIN drums, BRUCE KENNETT guitar and GEOFF ROBINSON bass.

THE ONE WAY STREETS : HAMILTON

This ultra rare gem was the sole release from The One Way Streets. It hit the stores in 1966 and was on the small SUNRISE label. You'll need a fat wallet to buy an original copy...if your lucky enough to find one!!
