Games, USA-California


Stargazer. 1977 Cascade Court

Los Angeles based group who pretty much stick to the progressive oriented AOR album formula, like their Midwest brethren to the north. The music also recalls the all female UK group Mother Superior, which was reissued on the Audio Archives label a few years back. And, on my last listen, I picked up a whiff of classic Alan Parsons Project. Overall, a mix of complex progressive and more pop oriented material

Priority: 3

I spoke to the founder of this group several years ago. Not from Florida, but California. The band were a fixture on the L.A. club scene with bands like The Knack and The Motels supporting Games at places like the Roxy. An association with west coast/ AOR crooner Paul Davis went sour although I have tracks for their unreleased second album which is more poppier, but very good. Female lead went on to appear in Movies and TV as well as Broadway.
