Cool. I vaguely remember 415. They played Santa Cruz once when we lived
south of there in the early 80's.
Here's some last-week info from the Marin Independent:
http://www.marinij.com/lifestyles/ci_3863438
"Now, Martin has returned to his roots. In addition to playing with
the new Eric Martin Band, he recently joined his former 415 band
members for a reunion show at Petaluma's Mystic Theater. He also wrote
and recorded a song for guitar legend Ronnie Montrose's upcoming CD,
"10x10," a combination effort of Montrose's favorite singers that is
due out later this year. There are nine other singers on the record,
including longtime Marin resident Sammy Hagar and former Gamma and
Robin Trower lead vocalist Davey Pattison of Novato."
The 415 album is called "Sucker for a Pretty Face"
Shee-ut... there's four 415 songs on MySpace: http://myspace.com/415band
not New Wave, rock - like Rollie's Journey minus the annoying Steve
Perry, or Foreigner
There was another Marin based band from that time called The James Blonde Band.
Richard, or anyone - do you remember them?
