Rock band formed by the merger of the Uncertain Things and Rize. The group featured guitarist George Strunz (ex-Graffiti) who was introduced to the band by Nils Lofgren. Members Bruce Aist (lead vocals), Jim Tice (bass), and Jerry Nitzberg (drums) were formerly with the Uncertain Things. Pete Plamondon (bass) as well as Aist were formerly of Rize. The group began in 1969 playing teen centers and school dances, eventually moving on to play local clubs such as at the Bluesette on Charles Street, and the Lantern Lounge on Frederick Avenue. Also seen at the Harry Benefit concert at Corpus Christi Hall (March 1970) with Light, Aux, Calhoun, others, and at the Wyman Park concert on August 1, 1971 with Momma Max, and Mike Goldberg.
In D.C. they performed regularly at the P Street Beach and had a review written about them in Billboard magazine. The D.C. label Aardvark Records approached the group with an offer to travel to Amsterdam, but they never made the trip.
Tice and Nitzberg later joined Blackfoot Smoke. Aist later fronted Nightingale. Plamondon was later with Joshua.
Strunz went on to international recognition as a flamenco guitarist with the duo Strunz & Farah. His recordings include the 1994 CD “Heat of the Sun” (Selva 1001).
