Coming off a very successful US tour and the release of its first studio album in 10 years, Black Dawn, the time has come for founding member and world renown drummer Carmine Appice to re-energize and rebuild Cactus. The band was once heralded by critics as America’s answer to Led Zeppelin.
“Nearly five decades after I formed this band, the time has come to re-invent Cactus once again,” says Appice, who also still drums for Vanilla Fudge, The Appice Brothers, and The Platinum Rock All Stars. Adds Appice: “The music remains the same and Cactus is still a ‘hot and sweaty’ band. The level, quality and consistence of the band’s musicianship is as strong as ever.”
Dan Buck's emotion-charged vocals and fire & brimstone stage presence led the rough 'n' tumble Boyzz from Illinoizz to record two albums for CBS-distributed Epic/CBS Records. A series of whirlwind tours followed, that read like a Who's Who of Rock & Roll, which included Aerosmith, The J. Geils Band, Meatloaf, UFO, Cheap Trick and REO Speedwagon, to name just a few. When that band's five year reign ended, Buck then formed Dirt's Raiders, which recorded an album for Atlantic Records and two other subsequent bands, The Original Sinners and Dan Buck's Small Change - both independently released. The title song from the 1978 Boyzz from Illinoizz debut album, “Too Wild to Tame” is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.
