Avalanche
With the break up of The
Bootleg Family Band in November 1975, Tony Naylor, Geoff Cox
and Clive Harrison recruited Adrian Campbell and began gigging as
Avalanche in early 1976.
The band's catchy pop/rock sound was displayed on the singles Wizard
Of Love (Feb 1976), Sweet Baby Brown Eyes (July 1976), Landslide
(October 1976) and Good For Me Good For You (March 1977),
and on their self-titled album in September 1976.
Cox and Harrison left in early 1977 to be replaced by John
Barnes (who in turn was quickly replaced by Barry Cram) and Graham
Thompson (ex-Stars) respectively. Gerard
McCabe also joined on keyboards, and this line-up released a
version of The Beatles' Got To Get
You Into My Life in November 1977.
By 1978, Naylor and Campbell had revamped the band as Front
Page and issued the single I Thought I'd Never Fall In Love
Again. But by 1979 it was all over.
