About AfterGlow

1) Afterglow from Chico, California. The quintet consisted of Larry Alexander (drums), Ron George (bass), Gene Resler (vocals), Roger Swanson (keyboards) & Tony Tecumseh (guitar). The band were originally known as The Medallions. Afterglow released a single, eponymous album in 1968 on the MTA label (In 1995, the album was re-released on Sundazed Records). Album was produced by Larry Goldberg and Leo Kulka (aka Leo De Gar Kulka, a regular at Golden Gate studios, in San Francisco), consists of soft pop with a tinny organ backing and memorable tunes. Some of the tracks such as Susie's Gone, It's A Wonder, and Afternoon are extremely psychedelic. Another band is a five-piece set from Marseille featuring Reno Ferré on lead guitar, Karim Abdelali on drums, François Festy on keyboards and vocals, Claude Figge on congas and Freud Chaudeaux on lead vocals (Chaudeaux sings in English and sounds a bit like Steve Hoggarth). Deftly avoiding overly simplistic formulas, their style is a savvy combination of hard material from the old guard (SAGA, RUSH) and more modern neo-progsters (PENDRAGON, IQ). A third, is a rock band from Copenhagen, Denmark. Founded by Michel Tyedmers (vocals) and Gert Breitenkamp (drums & guitars) in 2001. Formerly members of The Black Rose, a Thin Lizzy Tribute band. 4) Joel McCausland and Kevin Peay are better known to thousands of loyal fans around the world as the musical duo AFTERGLOW.
