Thanks to all those who attended our debut party on Friday 24th October, we had muchos fun!
As a result you can find us playing the finest intergallactic jams every 2nd Friday of the month at Manchester's disco dive bar - The Purple Pussycat.
This week's track is one that went down a storm on Friday - Cozy Powell's 'Dance With The Devil'.
English drummer Colin Flooks aka Cozy Powell (Nickname taken from Jazz drummer Cozy Cole) first started playing drums at his school orchestra aged 12.
After touring the semi-pro circuit in Germany with The Sorcerers, Cozy returned to England and based himself in Birmingham where he became friends with Robert Plant, Noddy Holder and a young Tony Iommi. After a series of singles Powell started to clock up plenty of session work then landed the job drumming for guitar icon Jeff Beck where he was a crucial member of the band that went on to record two albums in his prescence.
After being persuaded to persure a solo career Cozy had a number 3 smash with this instrumental solo 'Dance With The Devil' in January of 1974, inspiring a generation of youngsters to take up playing the drums.
* Remember to come catch us play next on Friday 14th November.
