Bio:
UFO are an English Hard rock band that was formed in 1969.UFO became a transitional group between early hard rock and heavy metal and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. UFO were ranked No. 84 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock"Singer Phil Mogg, guitarist Mick Bolton, bassist Pete Way, and drummer Andy Parker formed the band in August 1969. Originally taking the name Hocus Pocus, the group changed their name in October 1969 to UFO in honour of the London club where they were spotted by Noel Moore, who signed them to Beacon Records label, which was headed by Antiguan-born Milton Samuel. Their eponymously titled first album debuted in 1970 and was a typical example of early hard rock including a heavy version of the Eddie Cochran's classic "C'mon Everybody". Both UFO 1 and its follow-up UFO 2: Flying, were successful in Japan (especially the single "C'mon Everybody" which became a huge hit there) and Germany (the song "Boogie For George," also from the first album, reached No. 30 in German singles charts as well as "Prince Kajuku" from Flying reached No. 26), but generated poor interest in Britain and America. Consequently, their third effort, Live (later re-issued as UFO Lands In Tokyo), was originally only released in Japan in 1971.Part of UFO's early work was strongly influenced by space rock (their second album, including a 26-minute title track and a 19-minute-long opus "Star Storm", was subtitled One Hour Space Rock) that was modestly popular at the time, but the band soon realised the style was somewhat limited. In January 1972, Mick Bolton left the group, and UFO set out to find a guitarist who could provide the band with a more standard rock sound.
Album:
We never have enough UFO, one of the most influential metal / hard rock bands of all time. CleoRecs is releasing this “One Night Lights Out ’77“, a vintage UFO concert recording captured at the legendary Agora Ballroom in Cleveland OH.There’s a lot of UFO live recordings, and all enjoyable. However, and while the sound quality isn’t perfect, the magic on “One Night Lights Out ’77” is that the set feels ‘really live’, showcasing a raw, rocking band at their peak, with line up of Phil Mogg / Michael Schenker / Pete Way / Andy Parker, and Paul Raymond.This is the tour in support of the band’s briliant album Lights Out, which not only featured the blockbuster title track but also “Too Hot To Handle,” “Gettin’ Ready,” “Love To Love”, and of course classics such as “Doctor Doctor”.
