Records
Many bands over the years have felt they've been through some strange circumstances concerning promoters, poor management, record deals gone sour and millions of dollars lost revenue. Uriah Heep's first manager, Gerry Bron and members of the band have often felt the movie, Spinal Tap- was written based on some of their strangest adventures. Several other heavy metal bands have felt the same way.
The Ohio
ExpressIronically, perhaps the most bizarre tales documented of strange stories come from Mansfield, Ohio's own The Ohio Express. The Ohio Express, The Music Explosion (another Mansfield, Ohio based band), and Cincinatti's The Lemon Pipers all shared the same management. Each band released hit records in the 1960's. You may read some of the bizarre tales of The Ohio Express here.
In January 2012, original band member Tim Corwin and The Ohio Express released a new CD entitled: Bubblegum Days on Goldenlane Records.
EncoreCongrats to Mansfield, Ohio recording artists- Encore. The young lads have booked a mini- 'LA Dreamin' California Tour to perform at the legendary "Whiskey A Go Go Club" in Los Angeles, California on July 7th with Hollywood Roses. On July 11th, Encore will also perform at "The Good Hurt" in Venice Beach California.
