Because my mind is turning to $&it, and the old memories help.
Thankful for internet.

Was a big fan of them and still am. Saw them in person at Winthrop (where my girlfriend at the time went) back in the day (late 70's) and they were awesome. +1 for bringing up a very good band and great memories.

I listed to Mothers of Invention a lot but it seems like that was sometime before SC was a state.

MF's lead singer could bring it with any body including Tina Turner and Chaka Khan … legit talent. For those who have never heard the band enjoy this version of Baby Love. The band had 3-4 hits and frequented small Clemson venues in the mid to late 70's and early 80's and rocked it!

Curious as to who your (4Paws81 ) roommate was? I worked at Corporation when they came. When they did their soundcheck, everyone stopped and watched. We thought ceiling was coming down.

Odd this came as a topic....
At a wedding this past weekend where the band "loose change" from either Atlanta or Augusta played.. I talked with bass player and he said they were still Kickin... Have several of their children playing in the band too.
I remember seeing them at Davis Social Club- Mayesville, SC. on a Sunday afternoon while in high school. Probably 1976 or so.

In talking with the guy in the band I saw this weekend, they may be in Atlanta now.

they still tour every year...extremely popular in Europe as they tour there every year...they just released a new album
saw them maybe 6 years ago at the opera house in Newberry...fantastic concert...they stayed at the hotel down the street where we were...talked with them on the elevator after the show and for a while outside of the hotel the following morning before they left...not a nicer group of people
then at the Foundry a few years ago...another excellent concert
next up I'll check them out at Zac Brown's Ampitheatre in Fayetteville GA in August with Wet Willie opening up
I try to check them every 3 years or so...as energetic as they were when I saw them at Tillman
