Starcastle - Lady of the Lake

Saw these guys play the old Kingfish (a topic for another day) in 1977. The Bassist is phenominal. Lots of obvious comparisons to Yes. Great concert!!!

because bands on major labels are all widely known?




Uh.. Yeah, pretty much.



Then you don't know the record industry at all

Opened for stone temple pilots in BR



Was it at a Tomato Festival, considering STP was doing a festival tour just a couple of years ago? Opening up for a once major but now forgotten band does not equal being a well known band yourself. It's called product placement by the record label to get that band exposure. Why? Because they are a LESSER KNOWN BAND.

As a matter of semantics, you do realize that LESSER KNOWN does not mean UNKNOWN?

Point Blank - Free Man

This Texas band is of the same blusey rock style as ZZ Top and Guitarist Rusty Burns is in the Texas guitar Hall of Fame. I saw these guys late 70's as a warm up band to some headliner I can not remember and they blew em of the stage. Good music.........

but I feel like the last two records had better "radio" songs on them.


I agree 100%. It's not a bad album at all, but their previous albums had better songs IMO.

Battles:
Tonto

Atlas
(Watch around the 3:00 mark and be impressed)

Ice Cream

Scale the Summit (Instrumental guitar rock - think Satriani):
Whales
Watch how little they move their fingers. Dudes are extremely well-trained guitarists. They're young, too.

The Levitated (Chris Letchford playthrough)
