The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

[Daggers & Contracts]

Hello Dr.Dreary
Do you have many remembrances of the ACG crossing paths with the SAHB?
I saw them on a Late Night concert show in the mid 70's & thought
they were cut from the same mold as the ACG.
Their 1st LP hit in '72 so the ACG could have been an influence.
Did the ACG ever share a stage with them?
Can you think of any reason that they failed in their struggle "across the pond"?
RIP Alex H.

All I know about them is that tons of people respect them. I have some catching up to do.
As far as jumping the pond, I'd say that has to do with management.
Our association with Zappa helped us with that, but our managers Joe Greenberg and Shep Gordon arranged for a truck with a billboard picture of naked Alice with a snake to "break down" in an important UK intersection during rush hour to help sell out Wembley.

They are quite quirky, but some good good rock.

They also did a fine cover of "School's Out"

Thanks for the link. I hadn't heard this before.
They made it their own while maintaining a rebellious attitude and I'm sure GB would have liked the nasty guitar tone.
